Valfore.8416 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Just like how commanders can mark people or mark areas. It would be nice to be able to mark squad members’ icons to indicate what their roles are. Like changing their health icon on the squad UI to 🔵(aheal), 🟣 (qheal), 🟦 (adps), 🟪 (qdps), and 🟩 are just DPS. Players that’s joining before hand can pre pick their roles from preferred to least preferred roles that they have to offer. Once joined, they’ll be 🟩 but have a small 🔺that displays option above their 🟩 once clicked for the commander to assign. I mean it’s way better than having people X in chat when commander is role calling, it’ll also help with people just quitting and not stating what they were. It’s just a good foundation system for new coms and coms who just joined a group without a com to just help them figure out what they need and don’t need. But also a good way to communicate with others so there’s no confusion with squad mates. My way of thinking is less headache = more groups, more new coms and, more coms who are willing to join a no com. Edited September 25, 2023 by Valfore.8416 Clear confusion and make support DPS similar shape as DPS 8 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zealex.9410 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Not locking squad functionality behind a gold cost would also be nice. Also, the ability to set a countdown, the ability to use squad functionality in 5 man groups as well. 6 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy.3728 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I'm for more symbols as well. And not just for commanders, mentors or team opener in general... (see Aion) And let them set via right click. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valfore.8416 Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 They could make it cheaper, but I do agree maybe just having this option to be open for a lot more end game content. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready check is fine but it can be a while between the first person who presses ready and the last and that can lead to someone being alt tabbed because someone else took 5 minutes to ready up. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those should be left for any boss mechanic roles like Pylons, shrooms, and stuff 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for ground marking the other can be attached to players, npcs etc. So you can have arrow mark on shroom and another arrow mark in a player for example. Edit: only issue would be screen clutter but that would also happen with your suggested method.

Technically no cause what I suggest isn’t on the characters actually but their health bar that’s shown on the squad UI section like where it shows all the subs and your teammates.
