Suggestion: WvW server channel on Chat Panel
On Tarnished Coast our wvw community has been discussing methods to improve communication across borderland maps during wvw.
We concluded that a server wvw channel in the Chat Panel would alleviate many of our current frustrations, and also enhance our community.
How would this suggestion help us? A player with the outmanned buff is doing sentry duty on a waypointed TC Hills. He or she sees incoming BG zerg to the north. There are no commanders on map and no response for help in map chat so he goes to mumble (IF he has it downloaded) and scrambles to find a commander and zerg who is available to help. Often by the time this is done, the BG zerg is in the Lord’s Room because of the delay, and the Keep is lost. If we had a server cross borderland channel that SOS call would have been seen by all TC players in borderlands, and those in teamspeak, mumble or even not in third party voice coms, could respond. And let others know they are doing so. This would make wvw much more dynamic. Guilds could work together and coordinate easily. Our new players entering wvw for the first time who have no idea about voice coms, would understand our server objectives and how we are one server fighting ACROSS borderlands.
It also has the potential to be great for server morale. XX Guild takes SMC after a two hour battle with JQ. They announce the take in server channel. Other guilds, havoc groups, random players could offer congratulations from across all maps. It would really strengthen our feeling as one server.
Trolls could be blocked.
We move maps constantly. Please consider giving us a wvw server channel that crosses borderlands in our Tier. We use /m for map chat, our /t team chat is redundant, but a wvw server chat would definitely not be.
Thank you for your consideration.
