I’d really like a response from an A-Net employee, guess it’s not happening.
I just feel this system is more of a kitten ing contest than actually meant to do good.. At least, that’s what is happen now and I hate it
My bad, haha. It was going to be even longer but the 5000 character limit made me trim it back a bit.
:( how dissapointing
let us use mini balths and Jennah in the MF for a chance at a account bound mini of our choice in the game special or living story related !? or turn them into laurals or tokens for other items maybe Fused weapons but even better just tossing the idea out there Frosted weapons you know like fused look but with ice? idk kinda sad you can not do much with them other then toss them onto a pile of others like it though
I’m pretty sure you mean corrupted weapons.
I tried searching for other topics but nothing was working on my search function so I just made my own.. plus I wanted to add in my own 2 cents.
What’s the point of automating all that? Like I don’t want my items auto sold cuz maybe I want to salvage them.. That just sounds like a disaster.. I don’t know. I’d rather just sell all my stuff and repair it on my own..
Sorry my suggestions are not what you are looking for, but I feel the system badly needs an upgrade, and many others tend to agree with me
There is a search function in the message boards. There has been a better post than this about this topic already.
There have actually been HUNDREDS of posts covering the same suggestions on this thread. Since BW1 we’ve been advocating for a better grouping system. Over the last year I’ve seen some fantastic suggestions and feedbacks… none of which have been acknowledged. All we’ve seen is Devon Carter post that he agrees the commander and squad system lacks functionality and would be improved “sometime in the future”.
They need a functional and flexible Commander and Squad system that can be used by all players and guilds. You need to be able to flag the pin public or private/guild to be used for guild events or specific tasks.. Gw2 simply has the worst grouping system I’ve seen in the last 6 years of MMO releases.
We still don’t have a working group UI in WvW, all we can do is “report”. I can just imagine how long it will be until we have a functional C&S system. IMO they completely dropped the ball on this and are well past the “reasonable” time to fix it.
I read through some and they were so short, and didn’t cover all my ideas.. So I just made my own. Plus the search function wasn’t working at all for me so I could only go so many pages back.
@osta My only issue with that, is people don’t always join. They just don’t. I don’t want people running around not listening because they’re too stupid to type /d. Sorry, I just don’t want to force working into a system that I feel is broken anyways. Plus squad chat is painfully ugly. It’s like pukish yellow green. Just awful. I appreciate the feedback, but I think you need to command and see how crazy it is in the first place.
If nothing else, I hope we can at least get ArenaNet to change SOMETHING. Feedback from a Dev/Anet member would be so amazing.
That would be a sweet idea.
@osta It can be so hectic to be constantly switching channels and such. I do know it’s my duty to tell people about squad chat.. But you know how annoying it is to have people go how do I do that in the middle of a zerg every single time? Only half the zerg will even join. So then I’m yelling in two different chats because only third/half my group even joined and who knows how many people even saw the message to begin with. I think we’re all in agreement something needs to be done, I’m just throwing my idea out there.
@kris I don’t see yours currently active, so I’m not going to delete my entire post because it was “your” idea. This was my idea too. That’s just silly.
Not for EVERY class
Awesome thread. I would love commander revamps (see my thread) and a minipet revamp.
Engis have melee.. The tool kit.
That’s why I was saying color wheel. Thousands of color possibilities. Yeah it may trend, but we wouldn’t know til it was actually released.Anything is better than everyone being blue and everyone having exact same chat color.
Bumping for mini pet hero panel, and mini birthday boxes!
I agree, we did have a lot of agreement, but it’s just easier to add everything up onto one thread, that’s all. keeps the discussion going meaning more people will see it, that’s all. There’s been other commander threads but they’ve been so kitten. Anything Arena-Net adds in is a win in my book for now. I also agree that it would be cool to have a “thumbs up” or ranking system. I just hit my 5000 character limit for that post, ahah. I would love to see some friendly competition
You probably should have just posted this onto my thread..? I said half the stuff you did.
it’s like not even 10th from the top..
Not merits like guild merits.. I mean the literal sense of the word. Like they just have to prove by leveling, kills, ECT. That’s all. Not guild merits.
Bumpity bumpity bumpbumpbump
I think anything would be an improvement at this point. I dunno. I think colors should be free
Great idea, nopoet. I’ve had issues with that. scrolling around the mini map is annoying. I also ran out of characters to type in the 5000 limit, haha.
Thanks for the feedback jextr
Plus one for drunken!!!!! I’d go for that so fast!
Let me just start off saying I’m a Commander, and I use mine in WvW and PvE. I wouldn’t mind losing my tag if it meant we got a revamp. It’s a cool idea, but I feel it’s too basic. I feel like it’d be wonderful to add a bit more depth to it.
First off, I gotta say, it’s kind of annoying how you can get a WvW AND PvE tag with 100 gold, and a person can literally have no idea what they’re doing. I’m sick of people using it to just show off as a status thing. I think you need to earn it with WvW merit (say ranks, or badges, or kills), and maybe even gold on top of it. It’s like, I go into Lion’s Arch and see 8 commanders sitting around that I don’t know, and I go into WvW and see two in 2 different maps, and the other borderlands have nobody in it. I mean yeah people tag down, but as often as I’m in there, I don’t see more than a few regular commanders. It’s kinda of irritating knowing it can be bought, and no experience needed. It’ll get rid of a few clueless commanders too, I’ve been in group where I’ve commanded and the commander has followed me because they don’t know what they’re doing (before I got my tag of course).
Second, It would be sooo useful to be able to change squad/tag colors. When you have 4-5 commander tags on a map, it would be sooo nice to have colors to identify who you’re supposed to be following. Yes you can hover over the minimap, but when commander tags are on top of each other, it’s REALLY hard to single a name out. (Same goes for people in your party, hard to identify a name with tags.) It would be even cooler to have a R/B/G color wheel to customize your own color, and maybe even show that color in chat when you say, speak in squad. This sort of ties into my next suggestion.
Third off, I’d like to ask for some sort of commander privilege in chat.. Especially World V. World, and especially if I’m the only commander tagged up in the map. By this, I mean make my name a slightly different color, or a little bolder, or my chat a little bigger or SOMETHING. I don’t care if I don’t have it in PvE, because that’s gonna be annoying with 8 commanders in a map, and commanders aren’t needed nearly as much, and nobody really needs to have their chat special colors or sizes or whatever in Lion’s Arch. In world versus world, when I’m trying to command a zerg, and I have to shout in caps (yeah I know make for of me for not having perfect control of a zerg, but they can have a mind of their own even with a decent group..) and repeat stuff a few times.. that would totally be eliminated if my chat caught people’s eyes more. I still think it’d be so awesome to be able to change my color and then have it come up in chat, then I can have say purple, or blue, or pink to catch people’s eyes.
I think it’d also be really cool to change how squad works. I mean how many people know they can join my squad and see a different chat… almost nobody, and from everyone I’ve talked to, nobody uses squad, and at least half the people i meet didn’t even know it existed.. I think it’d work best if people could auto join my squad if they’re within my 3000-3500 range for say, 30 seconds, and auto leave if they’re out of it for more than 30. A manual join on top of it would be great for when I have people say go take a certain camp across the map, so they can hear me and I can talk without switching chat. Because if I have a different color tag selected like I mentioned earlier, it’s easier to talk because people can see my giving orders with my unique color.
This is a minor complaint.. but how come I’ve been suppressed as a commander but yet I see gold sellers spamming away in Lion’s Arch, what gives man? I know I repeat stuff, but it’s usually only stuff like on me, or follow me guys! You know, it gets a bit hectic in WvW when fighting zergs and trying to take a tower/keep at the same time. Stuff has to get repeated with all the other chatter like “rez mi plz”. I’m sure you guys are still battling the gold sellers, but the game is much better off than it used to be in that regards, so thanks.
There’s also maybe a way to make it so the more exp you have as a commander the more unlocks (colors, maybe even another symbol as you get way up there.)
TL;DNR/Summary
Commanders get a color wheel to get a different tag color, applies that color to chat. Makes it easier to command. This makes identifying commanders much faster, and color chat applies only in WvW. Also add merit so you can’t get a tag with just 100 gold. (Which isn’t that much compared to recent inflation/the tons of gold on the market from events.)
I dunno, this has just all be an accumulation of ideas over the months of playing GW2.. I love this game, I just want to see it even better, haha. :P Thanks for reading, feedback would be highly appreciated. -GoM Commander LegendwaitferitDary
