Guild Wars 2

Anyone else having this issue? Icons work in Lions Arch but as soon as we enter WvW they dont show up.

Is this not happening to anyone else?

This is happening to everyone, i made a post and bug report last week about it but no reply from either.

Guessing the reason this doesn’t have more attention is there are not a whole lot of commanders yet.

Currently on my server the icon dosent work in Eternal Borderlands and Underworld Borderlands, while also not working in Cursed shore.

This needs to be addressed.

Yeah it was not working today for me either.

Broken on 3/4 of our maps now.

Well working or not, we have stopped using it, cause the enemies for some reason always seemed to appear were the commander icon was all the time. Once we stopped using it the enemies didnt show up as fast as they used to anymore.

Have you tried /squadleave? You might be in a previous squad even if you have logged out.

Squadleave doesn’t help. What worked for me as a commander is changing instance disband squad, create squad and coming back. Of course with the queues it might get a bit of problem.

When a player is in a squad, they can only see the commander icon of the squad they are in. Players need to check the party menu, ‘p’, and make sure that it says “Not in squad”. If they are in a squad, use /squadleave. If they are not, try using “/squadjoin <commander>” and see if the icon shows up then. Otherwise, I would recommend that the commander turn the icon off and then back on.

I have not heard of this problem on our server and we have 15+ commanders that regularly cycle in WvW. Hopefully this problem gets fixed for you. We find that the commander icon helps significantly in organizing the server into teams and attacking/defending in groups rather than disjoint players.

It was hot fixed yesterday, issue is resolved now.
