Guild Wars 2

The idea is create a new tag to small groups (or Roamer)
The design concept is merge the actual icon with the basic professic at player.

See the picture at attachments.

Pre-requirements:
1. have the commander Tag
2. have the minimum level, like rank 300 (Bronze Soldier)

Spend some stuffs:
1. Gold coin
2. Badges of Honor
3. Proof of Heroics
4. Memory of Battle

And do one quest:
1. Complete each objectives (Castle, Keep, Tower, Camp, Shrine, Sentry, Dolyak)
2. Complete one new WvW reward tracks
3. Others

Don’t most servers already have a designated colour for scouts/havoc?

Friend of mine posted these awhile ago.

The idea isnt bad but it will just further the guardian meta – if people see that blue tag and it’s not a guardian they will just go nope never gonna join that noob.

I am far in favor of simply getting more choices for the shape of the dorito. Just 5 shapes would be enough to diversify it and identify the overall objective of the tag. I cant imagine it taking much effort from Anet to change the menu to allow for tag shape selection and it would be a fantastic yet simple QoL addition for WvW as a whole.

For EU probably, haven’t seen that be a thing for NA for quite a while now.

I like the idea, the problem with commanders on map is that it quickly becomes a zerg train that is pretty boring. Encouraging small groups with a size limit could drive out a lot more smaller melee fights.

Yes, The ideia is each Tag type have the limit number.
That away is easy to see the purpose of group.

Other suggestion to avoid Zerg is:

Put one Castle at each map !

AND

Change the model of Eternal Battlegrounds.
Like UT3 Capture the flag (Type game), put 3 spot to contest the Castle.

It was a thing on SoS, but it’s tedious to keep it going with transfers, server linking and what not. I don’t think it’s universally recognized anymore.

As to the OP, quick changes to improve communication between players are always appreciated. It’d be nice if there was a tag toggle to avoid clutter, though, or a way to only display tags on the full map.

I’d much prefer a drop down menu in the tag UI to assign what your role is (WvW only) upon selecting a tag color which will show up under your commander prefix on the minimap when others hover over you and should also be a visible header in the squad UI upon joining (similar to squad message but always visible; top-left corner somewhere).

Example roles:

• Scout
• Havoc
• Public or Open Join
• Guild

Therefore the text box for Commander Nooblord would have an additional prefix/title under it e.g;

• Commander Nooblord
• Havoc

This would give an idea as to what role multiple if any tag(s) on the map are doing and will be a better informative decision whether you want to join one or the other (instead of wasting your time running all the way across the map only to find out it’s merely a scout tag and not the public tag you were looking for).

I thought the whole purpose of being a roamer was to run in a group of up to 5 players in a party being invisible so they get fights. If they have a tag above thier head it would make them visible to tag watchers. The tags are good the way they are. Most servers have it in place already that the red tag is for scouts etc.

Commander prefix and role?

Years ago (before the current commander system and squads, when we only had a blue tag that was toggled on or off) I did the below mockup, haha. Realized I still had it on my hdd. Description, colors and shapes was included. Hell I even had a public tickbox which I no longer agree with, lol.

Anything more than 1 is havoc.

Roamers are solo.
