Guild Wars 2

WvWvW Commanders really do need their own chat(like guild/map/team/say) or color in main chat for the whole map to see to help lessen the confusion on who is giving commands and who is not leading. Epescilay for EOTM since it is mega server with players from all the servers into one place that makes using team speak etc more difficult to coordinate with other players. Having to keep track of all the different server IP’s and having to download several different VOIP programs in order to play a game is a pain.

Squad chat is limited to 50 players and it rarely used if ever to issue commands, it’s mainly used so people know which commander to follow if there is more than one commander on the map doing different things from the main group etc.

Not all commanders are willing to use VOIP programs or they don’t or have or will use mic to command. Chat is always helpful because everyone can see the chat regardless and commander color would help everyone from having to look down/scroll the mini map to see who the commander is.

As for PVE I think this would cause the same problem since on maps there are always have several groups/guilds doing different things. So I think this would be better left to WvWvW only since WvWvW is way more coordinated than PVE side of things most of the time.

No you just need to organise your server better… not to mention the use of Teamspeak

Team chat for Commanders and scouts
Map chat for other game related information
Say chat for general chit chat

The whole point of this thread is in EOTM it is not just your server. Someone would need to allow all others of their colour into their TS. It is a problem.

I think wvw commanders need training in general, no pun intended.

100% agree with OP. If you disagree, I’d question the legitimacy of how often you actually command in WvW.
