Guild Wars 2

Hi,

is it possible to adjust the height of the commander tag? In WvW with the “blue-everywhere”-Squad it is impossible to see the tag. It would be great if the tag is ABOVE the zerg

Definetly would be good if the dorito was higher.

I find ctrl T on the commander helps

Yeah, especially if every special snowflake wants to be the asura condi reaper commander.
It would help, but only because people are unwilling to adjust their playstyle to make it easier for their own guys.
One could say it is partly in the hands of the players.

I think it would be cool if you had the option of displaying your guild symbol as your commander tag.

I play an Asura commander to make pin sniping harder. It’s not hard to follow the tag even if it’s on an Asura, but people obviously have difficulty with it. Instead of raising the height, I’d just say increase the opacity so that it stands out over the zerg.

You might want to create a norn. Play search the shouting little thing if the frontline is charr and asura. As long as people have low frames and high visual noise on screen i can not see how this may help a pub zerg. Possibly a guild raid. We have an asura only warband on our Server. But if the tag convieniently vanishes at melee crotch hight? Nope that just causes the front and backline to loose sight more often than not. And yes i have an asura warrior, yes i tried it, yes people feel more comfortable with a charr norn with a huge back pack.

I have a norn. Every time I use it, it gets pelted by a million LB rangers before a fight even starts. Having to waste cooldowns before an engage puts us at a pretty big disadvantage.

yes please make the tag higher. +1

Agreed.

The cntl T is the current best option, big, loud, red.

But bigger for PvE? I don’t think so, don’t need as much, except maybe some chest/champ trains…..?

Commander tag should imho:

• Be visible ABOVE player’s heights no matter how zoomed in/out you are
• Be layed over everything and top priority so you cannot lose track of it
• Be slightly bigger in size to bring it up to par with the CTRL + T (target) format many players, including myself, use
• Have a singular glowing/pulsing line from the bottom of the tag fading down towards the commander’s head so as not to lose him/her in the midst of battle and might help with the height variations amongst each race

Thoughts?

This a really good little QOL improvement I would personally love to see, especially that what I play the most in WVW are Asuras, so my tags are not always visible.

I’ve commanded on asura, norn, charr and sylvari and people have trouble seeing the tag either way.
And not everyone wants to create a new character for commanding.

I don’t have much problem following the tag – just control T on him and train your zerglings not to off target unless they spot the enemy comm and we’re sniping.

It also helps if you’re on TS listening to the comm state the obvious, like ‘swing left, fake right, push, retreat, etc’ so you can stay on him when he moves.

Fully support this idea.

+1 Its a good idea
