Guild Wars 2

I think it’s neat how PC’s will call out for help when they’re downed, or say thanks (or such) when they’re revived, and it made me think today, it would be pretty cool if players could open up a menu with a variety of voice call-outs and actively cause their character to vocalize some short, meaningful phrase or response. I’ve seen this in Planetside 2, where it finds much use in combat.

I would guess there are close to enough voice recordings appropriate for such a system existing in the game already; all it would really need is an interface.

Commanders might find it useful in conjunction with the targeting system, if they could give other common instructions to surrounding players. That, I should think, would also put text in the chat box, though (much like in Planetside 2, as I mentioned).

Yeah I mean it would pretty much be ripping off the idea from PS2, but I think people could make good use of it. It would definitely need some adjusting to fit better into the context of GW2.

Just a thought I had anyway.

Reading this, it sounds like a great idea, BUT anyone who has played any Battlefield games will know well this :-

Target Spotted
Target Spotted
Target Spotted

etc etc etc

Gets old real fast !!
