Guild Wars 2

Current in-game features on guild menu are sorely lacking. Here is an example to demonstrate this:

Here is a list of actions upon logging on to Guild Wars 2:
1) Log In.
2) Hit “G” -> See that people are in WvW.
4) Ask in VOIP/Guild Chat what WvW map everyone is in.
6) Hit “B” -> Go to Borderland guild is at.
6) Ask where everyone is.
7) Ask who has room in a party -> Join party
8) Go

Here is what should happen:

1) Log In
2) Hit “G” -> See what BL people are in and (x/4) of people in Parties.
3) Right click guild member and select “Join Party”
4) Right click guild member and select “Join Map”
*If guild member is pinned up, this should be evident in the guild menu and “Join Squad” should be in the right click context menu. Additionally, all people in the squad should show mapwide as dots like a party (possibly a different color for clarity).
5) Go

The current method of having to fish for information that should be readily available is tremendously obnoxious and having to answer “YO WHAT BL WE IN!?” “WHO HAS ROOM IN THEIR GROUP?” 25 times a day is unnecessary and annoying. None of these seem too difficult to implement as they already exist in other facets of the game and would dramatically increase the quality of life of people that WvW on the daily.

Thanks for your consideration.

+1 this. This is Guild Wars. Please give the guild features some love.

seems legit, gogo ANET devs . . . make it so. And just for the sake of my guild commander who enjoys flooding the forums with guild commander threads . . . something, anything that allows more than 5 guildies in WvW to coordinate with each other besides VOIP or pinning up for the whole map to see is strongly needed in WvW to give guild groups more meaningful structure. Private squads, gold guild dots, guild commander pins . . . whatever it takes. WvW is losing so much potential for guilds and turning all us WvW lovers into sadists with this prolonged tantric delay of getting something good out in WvW for guilds. o.O

Really good for group composition as well.

If I’m a guardian I can see what party doesn’t have a guardian in it and join them.

I’ve seen a few Nord posts on this and I am in 100% agreement.

What I find amusing is that if ANet is serious about breaking down the zerg this should have been a given. It takes a lot of unnecessary work to coordinate a skirmish/havoc group.

Also +1 to anything that can make WvW a more user friendly experience.

Please do this! Even right click functionality to add/join group in guild would make life so much better. I truly don’t understand why this isn’t in the game yet.

These are some minor stuff that shouldn’t have passed the beta, but would be an enormous help indeed

“It takes a lot of unnecessary work to coordinate a skirmish/havoc group.”

That line you posted Sopp says it all. It should NOT be this difficult to group and form squads they way you want, and play the way you want. Two choices in game – either run a 5 man group or zerg. Any other way players try to coordinate is clunky, frustrating and usually requires 3rd party programs to communicate. There is no dedicated in-game chat channel for anything above 5 players that is not a public zerg.
