Command Chat:

When a commander raises his tag, people can link themself to them.
The commander you’re tagged to has his mark appear yellow so you know how to identify him from the others. In the chat, the commander can type /c to give command to the people in his/her unit.

This should allow for a good communication during world events with multiple party movements. eg. TripleTrouble / Tequatl / (prev. three colored knights)
The commander himself wont see every profile, but just gets a quicklist of how many of every profession is following him.

eg.
Wa: 5
El:2
En:7
Th:3

Outside PvE this should also be useful in WvW.
Allowing multiple commanders to raise specialised taskforces and keep their information within their group.

At least I would really like to see this because a lot of people dont listen to the main chat and this ruins these world events. Also, everyone talks across each other. If just one commander can explain without the ruse of 10 people trying to give orders at the same time this should improve event movements greatly.

Give me your opinion

Note!: For some reason this was moved to WvW.. dont see why.. it was a PvE communication suggestion

This already exists. Select commander, right click on name and select Join Squad. All other commander tags in the field become invisible and you can speak directly to the commander via Squad chat channel, which is accessed by typing /d into the chat window. There’s a limit of 50 players per commander IIRC

It’s already in the game, its called squads.

And no one uses it.

Because its clunky and limited.

Because it offers nothing more than what /s or /m or /t do.

Because ANet refuses to listen and improve commander and guild functions.

ALL IS VAIN.
PvP modes are the “endgame” in every MMO.
Stop failing at PvE, start fixing PvP/WvW. Thank you.

All of us are in Vent, TS, or Mumble. There’s no need for text chatting. That only thing that matters is hearing the Commander yell “Eshtack Eshtack Eshtack!!!”
