Yellow Player Dots on Minimap
Yeah, I noticed this earlier tonight. When I was in a party in one map, doing temple events, everyone’s dots were blue. But when I later partied up with my husband (just he and myself in a party), both of our dots were yellow. Then when we switched to a different map, my dot was blue on his screen, but his was yellow on mine.
As far as I can tell, guildies are now yellow dots.
Yeah, guildies in your party are now yellow dots. However, unlike the blue dots they disappear completely from your minimap once they leave the area covered by your minimap, which is a clear disadvantage. Hopefully anet will change that or – better yet – just get rid of the yellow dots again, which are harder to see.
Keep this! I asked for stuff like this in ages juts make the yellow, you know, darker? I always wanted to know where people were for mega server so I know if i’m in the same map or not.
I also find it harder to see the yellow dots, than the blue.
Not in the way that the hero point icons are hard to see, but they don’t catch your eye and aren’t as immediately noticeable, it takes a second or two to locate them.
I don’t really see the point…if they are in your party you don’t need them to be a different colour. I can see the point if it showed guildies anywhere on the map who AREN’T in your party.
It is some new bug. Not all guildies in my party are yellow and sometimes dots just change color or disappear completely. Probably because of new squad UI they have added.
easy way to tell if you are in the same map or not is to look at the portraits. If it is all black after they load in, then you are in a different instance. If you can see their face and outfit, then you are in the same map.
Yeah, it’s definitely not just “guildies are yellow”. My husband and I are both in the same guild. Sometimes the dot would be blue, but sometimes it would be yellow.
Well, if we thought the yellow hero challenge icon was hard to see in certain maps, now we get yellow dots to try and pick out from LA’s sandstone or SW/DTop’s sand.

Blue definitely means a party member, while yellow may just mean guildie, but not partied?
It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….
I have not seen the yellow dots yet but would it be easier to spot Guildies if they were a blue dot with a yellow center instead? Just wondering.
My friend like the yellow dot, she feel it stands out more then the blue dot, and I like it too. yellow should be the party color, hehe.

No, there are no dots on the map if you’re not in a party. At least none that I’ve seen.

The yellow dot only replaces a blue dot for a party member. There aren’t dots for non-partied members. I did dungeons yesterday with 2 guildmates. One had a yellow dot and one did not. It seems entirely random.
Like others said, I hope it’s a glitch from what they’re doing with squads. I don’t see the necessity of having different colored dots for 4 party members.
Yeah I was thinking maybe a bit of the squad stuff snuck in. Just seems weird that sometimes guild members are yellow, other times, blue.
