Guild Wars 2

When in a map, and in a party, the party members are shown on the mini map with blue dots when they are NOT in the same instance.
The fact that the current system is supposed to direct party members to the same map is not working as strongly as it should, especially in World Boss encounters. When I port in, I see my party members dots, but them we are actually on 2-3 different instances. Please have the mini map only show a blue dot for those party members on the same instance that you are in.

I strongly disagree with this “suggestion”, and I also consider this is not a bug but a feature.

You are able to see players in different maps now, was requested long time ago. And anyway you have an actual visual to know if your party members are or not in the same map by just looking at their avatars. It’s not like you were wondering if they might or not might be in your same map.
If you see their face = same map.
If you see a black shadow avatar = different map.

This was an apparent intended recent change, not a bug.

It used to be that if you were not on the same realm, you wouldn’t see your party member’s dot anywhere in the world at all.

It only seems to make sense to me that given the megaserver system now, this would be something they addressed intentionally.

You can always simply join your party members in instance copy with two clicks, provided the map isn’t hard capped.

Before megaserver you would always see your party members, no matter what place in world. But when megaserver went live this feature got broken, several times it wouldn’t show your party members, mainly if they were in a different map. I think it was an intended change to workaround what megaserver made impossible, then now it always shows your party members even if they are in different instances.
