Guild Wars 2

This light effect: http://i.imgur.com/kImVNxF.jpg

Currently its very easy to lose your commander in a crowd of names, I saw a guildie with this legendary effect and think this effect should be added to the commander tag only while in WvW.

I realised this was a useful extra since all of the players on the map were drawn to the light, throw that on a commander and you won’t lose him again when a 60 man mob run into your mob :P
Its a very small change but makes finding your guy much much easier.

I would then say add commander placed " waypoints " that let the commander light up marker on the field. “place an AC on the red marker” etc would make commanding much easier and faster.

The more tools a commander have the better we can do our jobs, markers like that are common in action based games like FPSs why not use them here? If the code is already ingame for the legendary why not give it to the commanders too? it wouldn’t be much of a change but would be a big improvement.

If we can’t have fireworks because of the potential for griefing by decreasing framerates, I can’t see us getting commander beacons. We run a commander pin train every so often on my server just for fun. We’d all be blinded by the end of it if this was implemented. :P

Its used for legendary items i believe so thats not a valid excuse if the devs used it.

If i have to see legendaries in WvW surely they decrease the framerate?

it could be only for commanders or people in the squad of that commander too which would reduce how many there were.

Great idea to add a visual point in the middle of battle or terrain.

I think its vital to wvws future, it makes wvw much less zerg and much more commander skill and tactics

Why can we still use the investigation kit to grief? (Using it, dropping it, using it again… to make appear lots of dropped items… a bit annoying even if they stay only for a few seconds).

pretty sure youre in the wrong thread…

No. I’m in the correct thread. 2nd post already someone was talking about fireworks and griefing. And I’m sure a commander beacon also could be used for griefing. Legendaries should also be fixed and removed from WvW.
