Guild Wars 2

I won’t go over the infrastructure of PvP again – gonna silently wait for leagues now;

Are we ever going to see changes to the mini-map ping system? I remember it being discussed a lot in the past, and I think it needs a drastic change.

First off; why does it need a change? To make Solo-play more inviting. You do not have everyone on TS, so letting someone know where you are or where you need assistance (or when not) is a must. You would be capable of quickly throwing information such as “as I respawn, I will go home” so that your team can focus on other points.

So what ping commands are handy? Well, look at other competitive games;

• Warning (do not go there alone)
• Assistance
• Moving there
• Missing enemies

Granted, the last one is not as important as say strategy or moba games, but it will still help a lot when you fight against a profession that can +1 quickly, so that your team will not be caught off guard and blame you for getting killed by that +1.

I am not a professional by any means, but I think this is one of those changes that can be implemented “more easily” while enhancing gameplay by a large margin.

For the thread: What do you want to see as ping commands?

Honestly, if this were to be implemented they just need two.

1. Go here.
2. Don’t go here.

You can already look at the mini map and you will already see who in your team is moving where.

Yet the times where I awkwardly look at someone as I stand on the homepoint after respawning while no one is there is something I cannot count with my two hands :P

Plus, it can give your team time to react to your movement. Say you want to help your friend on far, so you ping that you will assist there – yet he knows the moment you get there you get overwhelmed by respawns and killed off immediately, he can ping to be careful or to leave. Right now the former example happens constantly, and on maps such as Legacy, this can quickly snowball
