Guild Wars 2

For a while now, when I’ve been taking my shift scouting a keep or tower, I’ll turn on my commander tag as a visible sign to my map that shows the keep/tower has someone on watch.

While anyone could do this (and it’s a help), it occurred to me we could achieve the same effect with a different tag. The tag could cost a couple gold like a commander tag does (1, not 100). That way scouts could “tag up” for their scouting duty. If the tag dissapears the whole map can see the keep/tower might be without eyes.

To overcome some issues, the Scout, or Watch Tag could only be activated inside keeps and towers. So if the scout has his tag up, and leaves the tower, or disconnects, the tag will vanish from the map. Plain and simple.

Nice idea. I think it should extend a reasonable distance away from them though since sometimes it may be easier to keep an eye out from different locations (like the vista hill outside of Anz, or the very outer wall of Overlook past the houses)

Yes. good idea.

Good idea, but too complicated to implement.

We’ve been asking for changes to the commander tag system since the Beta days. I’m not holding my breath on this.
