Guild Wars 2

I’d like to see 2 new features with guilds: 1. Ability to see guild members on your map, and 2. Large guild parties.

1. I think it would be very helpful to be able to see where all the online members of your current guild are within Tyria. This would help with coordinating large guild events, casual playing with guildmates, and PvP. I think it would be best for guild members to show up on the map as that yellow/gold color that guild chat is, and also for the color of guild members to override any other color (ie: if a player is in your party and your guild, they would show up as yellow/gold instead of blue).

2. I’d also like to see the ability to have larger parties than just 5. There could be a requirement that all members must be in your guild, or it could be allowed for anyone. I see lots of scenarios where this would be helpful and almost sees required. For example, my guild does mapping parties, where a lot of us get together and clear out a map. We have to have multiple parties at the same time because there’s a limit to only 5 players in a party, and we have to use guild chat to communicate. This could get annoying for another guild member that isn’t doing the mapping party because their chat is gonna be spammed by us talking. With larger guild parties, we can all communicate within party chat and only have to have one party instead of multiple. This feature would also be useful for guild missions when you have more than just 5 players involved in the mission.
