Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

me and my team figured that lately there has been an update which changed the way of the health overview on the top left hand side changed.

In the old days you could always see your whole team – which was good, because you could see healthbars and conditions/boons on mates from very far away and then judge if you really want to help over there (or maybe the fight is almost over, so you choose to go for a different node).

With the changes it appears that you can only see members of your party that are in closer range – so when you are on home you cannot see health bars of mates on far – telling them to remove condis/disengage/whatever.

Would love to see the old system back – that helped a lot in teams communication!

Thanks and best regards
Traq

Agree. In PvP you should have always the overwiev of the whole team.

yep
it would be usefull
as guardian i need to Know that Kind of things

Same happens with partner positions in the minimap. Right now, if they are far, you cant know where they are

I have posted about this before. Dev has commented in the past that this is a player going out of range issue. But as stated in the original post here, it did not use to be that way.

I found the thread with the dev comments. And another thread about the same issue.

PUSH – Can we get a dev response on that? I would love to have a toggle option for that maybe…

But for tPvP we need to have the complete overview!!!

This is a performance optimization. People who are too far away from you do not show up in the world. PvP is a special case because you always want to know about your teammates. Another drawback is that your teammates will disappear from your team UI. We have one version of a solution to this in the works.

Were you referring to with “UI” to exactly that problem? When can we expect a hotfix?
