Guild Wars 2

So I have started playing GW2 again after a very long break and I am shocked that there have not been any communication improvements for SPvP. Given that it is essentially impossible to type anything while pvping due to WASD movement, this game needs other ways to communicate to teammates in SPvP.

I think there are 3 routes that could address it. The obvious one would be to add voice chat into the client although there are people that would not like that for various reasons. The game could allow map pinging with context such as many MOBAs use. The other option is voice commands through keyboard shortcuts a la Smite.

The need for communication in this game to play at a somewhat coordinated level is higher than any MOBA yet this game lacks even the basic MOBA map ping system. I feel like the map ping system could be easily implemented and the others could be done without being a huge burden. Regardless of the choice that is made I think this is something that ArenaNet needs to get implemented.

For the record, I made this exact same suggestion multiple times on this forum 3yrs ago.

^^^^^ Can’t agree more. Please implement an in game voip. It’s much needed for such a fast paced competitive pvp.
