Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if you could implement the team color(red/blue) when one is capping a base in pvp. You see the battle swords and the blinks but at times i waste time going to a base where my teammate is already capping. Since one can now join tpvp solo can i color blink be implemented to facilitate the absent of voice chat etc?

Advance thanks for your cooperation

the minimap sometimes is bugged and you can’t see a player of your team if he is too far away from you, so this could actually be a good idea.

You can see the colour of the ring around the base itself from afar to tell which side is capping it.
And this falls under team coordination and communication.

Any more information like through the UI would just be dumbing down really.

i like the idea because there really is no communication in solo queue, however it might take a lot to implement (I really have no idea how long), and I think other things are more important.

If the point was yours and now it is contested, it’s quite easey to assume its the enemy…
Also true if the point belongs to the enemy and now it is contested…

It’s actually the other way around, contrary to what you may believe. Less transparency = less info for players to react to individually = less individual skill.
I think individual skill/solo queue is a much more important thing to focus on over team play in the games current state.

There’s no ‘skill’ involved in this.

The information is already there, the ring changes colour based on who’s capping.

You can go and look with line of sight.
Or you can use team comms.

Adding the capping information to the UI just makes things more simple, it adds no increased skill level whatsoever.
