Guild Wars 2

anyone realized that there are 4 new mini map pings for us to use ?

if we hold down shift and click and hold on the mini map, we can choose 4 different icons to ping on the mini map !

well, there is a total of 5 icons now, the default one is the middle one,

there’s a green correct arrow, a red wrong arrow, a yellow exclamation arrow.
and a green four arrows pointing towards the middle.

actually, when did we have those 4 icons ?

yes, some people read patch notes.

Ramoth.9064:

yes, some people read patch notes.

ooo the new mini map pings are stated in the recent patch notes ?
well the patch notes are too long.
i only read the parts i am interested in.

but you were interested in the new mini map pings… so you must have read it… :p

on topic they are great, though so far very under-used but with any luck they will be used well once the new season starts to improve communication between players

ahahaha well i did go and read them after Ramoth’s reply in this topic.

hmmm say, what do you think the 4 new different mini map pings could be used for?

we all had been using the default red circle flashing for more than 3 years already.

new ones
(yes ? help me ? ) green yes tick icon
(no ? dun come here?) red no cross icon
(regroup here?) green four arrows pointing in middle icon
(danger? enemy incoming?) yellow exclamation triangle icon

concept i think is good. what i would change is, after you’ve used one, that stays your current click ping until you change it to something else.

for ex: i want to hit the warning yellow one on a node. but i think 1 ping isn’t enough, i need to spam that mami. but i have to keep shift click drag to the yellow to spam it.

if during my map pings, i get into an engagement, its tough enough to try and fight/live while throwing up some pings.

so just make it, last used = default for remainder of hte match, unless that tougher than just making it the current default.
