Guild Wars 2

Long-time WvW players adopted the simpler system of calling objects on the borderland maps by their coordinates, “northwest tower”, “south camp”, “east keep”, etc. as a means of providing clearer communication no matter which server’s borderland you were on.

In addition to allowing users to toggle capture announcements on and off, it would be nice to see some additional feedback provided. The messages currently require one to open up the map and scan all the objectives for the name or to look at one of the API sites or use an overlay to see which objective has a 4m RI timer on it so they’re not really providing any real meaningful improvement over the former system.

It would be nice if the notifications were clickable somehow that would open up the map location that was just taken, or if the notification pinged the map when the player opens it.

That would be good to have. Don’t get me wrong, I like the names for everything, but it’s taking me forever to learn them. Billy Bob’s Kitten Shack has been claimed by…. blah blah… isn’t near as helpful as an alert that says NE Camp has been claimed by… we can reassign key bindings… a shame we can’t reassign map location names. I guess it just comes down to a matter of time spent learning the map.
