Guild Wars 2

Hey, I don’t know if this has been sugested before, but I think that it would greatly improve the level of soloqueue or non-voicechat users players in sPvP matches.

Similar to some MOBA games that has this feature, the sugestion is to create alternative pings in the minimap, similar to the default shift+M1 red ping. But with other functions, like “on my way”, “need help” or “be careful/retreat”, for example. It would be good also if when you ping directly in the class icon from another player in the minimap, it would show in the chatbox that the ping performed is directed to that player.

Even with the teamchat, a lot of people don’t use it because they just don’t want the effort or because they are in the middle of a battle. I believe that a system like this wouldn’t be extremely hard to create, but I’m sure that it would improve the quality of most matches by improving the coordination of the teams.

even simpler might be to simply allow us to bind keys for location pings

F1 – ping home node
F2 – ping middle node
F3 – ping far node
F4 – ping self
F5 – ping target
F6 – ping map mechanic 1
F7 – ping map mechanic 2

etc. or bind the keys however you want. and maybe if you press CTRL + said key the ping is a different color. one color indicates help defend, another color indicates attack?

My name is Boggs and I endorse these ideas.

That also would be awesome. But as GW2 uses way more keys than Tribes: Ascend, I don’t know if it would work well. I, for example, have no idea where I would map more 4 keys with easy access in my keyboard control setup.

any of your current key bindings + alt, ctrl, or shift? a gaming mouse? either way it’s better to have the option to bind keys and not use it than to wish you could and not be able to.

You need one key with each access, e.g. V.
You press V then menu pops, then next V is help and 1 is close. So by fast tapping V→V→1 would be ‘help close’.

if i push V-V-1 i will do a double dodge roll and auto attack. lol

i have no problem reaching for the F1, F2, etc keys for pings. Because I don’t have to move my mouse to the mini map. because F1 would be help home, F2 help mid, F3 help far, F4 help where I am etc.
