However, for me personally, the way it works is good enough. I would like the priority to be set to other things before improving the leading UI. Thanks for the vote :) yes you are right, resources definitely should be directed towards other items such as the expansion long-term, without it there'd be a lack of additional financial resources to innovate, I must've gotten carried away from the nostalgia during the golden days of GW1, this post is only food for thought, nothing is absolute or imposed, hopefully there'll be a time in the future where ideas shared here today will help the game of tomorrow, even if it's just by a little bit :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consolidated list below, updated as they're found:Thanks to @JusticeRetroHunter.7684 and @Virtuality.8351 for mentioning the below:Squads should have more control over the party element in the squad, what he referred to as “nested squads”Basically each party/subgroup in a squad should have the ability of having their own commander tag (a sub-commander tag) which would make fights more complex by adding a new level of organization & micro-managementFull image: https://i.imgur.com/jIWFeGA.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanners.9428 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Commander tag needs to be bigger and more visible. (Stands out from the sea of name plates)Party member names plates with different colour.Option to turn off none squad member name plates.Get rid of the dot on simplified name plates for allies. (in WvW)Option to turn off squad health bar.Option to reposition party UI grid.Add a keybind for toggling squad/party view. Or able to show both at the same time.Add party prioritized markers.Option to enable standard character model for mounts.Option to enable standard character model in pve. (Same as in wvw and pvp)Option to turn off other players spell effects.Option to turn off other players legendary items effects.Everything listed above are my wishlist to reduce unwanted flashy effects and visual clutters inorder to focus on performance.

Far in favor of commander visibility instead, such as the WvW menu showing which active commanders are on each border next to the button by adding the commander icons and hover over short description.

medivh.4725 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The commander radiant button panel of Woop S.7851 makes sense except we could add 'Fall Back!' or 'Retreat!' The description field for each contact added has been asked for some time now. It helps me identify whom is whom amoungst my added friends. Just simple short text field will do too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
