Guild Wars 2

alright so i got an idea just now and i wanted to write a little about it before i forget.
not detailed or anything just an idea,

at the moment i’m trying to get money to become a commander for WvW, but the only thing a commander can do atm (that i know of, tell me if i’m wrong) is having a big sign above their head and can let people join their squad for squad chat, that’s not really alot you can do.

so what about things like this?:

a squad interface
so they can see who are following you and what their status is (maybe also a chat in that same interface, and maybe even a small world map where the commander can draw and point out the location for everyone in the squad to see on the small world map)

about the role for a commander in pve
as commander you don’t have a real role in pve.
so my thought on that is, wouldnt it be great for commanders to be able to let people join their squad for a dungeon that they can enter with around 20-25 people that is ofcourse made and designed for that amount of people with a big chest at the end that will give you some nice stuff that you really earned for getting there. (and add a limit so it cant be farmed for the whole fricking day every day every week but make it a challenge and kick them out when they failed certain things too many times)

i really like the idea myself and i hope you guys do too.
i know that this would take alot of work and that certain things may be seen as unfair by other players that dont know any commanders or are not lvl 80 but to those people i have to say this:
if things like this would ever come in this game, don’t forget that you can also get to a higher lvl and that if you act more social you’ll find friends that can help and ask people questions to learn. not enough people act like this and just whine about things instead of finding a way to better their play style.

alright a little offtopic there i believe, srry for the amount of text, i hope you guys like the idea and that it will reach Anets eye, gamers need something to strive for and you don’t have to be extra soft to new or low lvl players, if they are low lvl they still have enough to explore, so more content for the high lvl players (looking forward to the major update <3)

ps: don’t pay too much attention to my grammar & chaotic writing

Commanders can already turn on or off their icon.

alright, fixed :P

Already in game.
/squad = chat
Commander tools

/squadinfo will show the names of players in the squad and the amount of supply they are carrying. It will also show the total amount of supply held by nearby allies, including non-squad members.
ALT+Mouse1 opens a context menu for adding special order waypoints, to mark locations for attacks, defense, and rally points. These special waypoints are visible to squad members.

the option to turn the commander sign on and off
a commander doesnt really have a role at all in pve and when they are running around trough for example cursed shore there will still be people following him making small events impossible, so an option to turn the sign off would be great (maybe there is an option for that and i just didnt know that)

Already in game.

thanks for the info willow, so that leaves only the dungeon idea :c
