Just thought it would be nice to have a tag color for friend's on fl so you could find them in towns/outpost more readily. It would be mainly for those on fl that are not in your ally, kinda like the gold ally tags but for your fl.

if you want to know where they are why not just ask , "hey man where are you?" really, why ask for dumb updates

I have always wanted this feature, but it never got implemented. Hopefully, this easy 'fix' will be in GW2.

I agree.

Not does this sounds useless, but why ?

Ask your friends where they are (duh). It's called typing.

:P

I like it but sadly it's not gonna happen.

womBonk · Oct 08, 2011, 05:38 PM // 17:38

I don't think it's a stupid idea. However, I think I'd rather have the team working on other more important fixes at the moment.

Not everything is such an easy fix. Game programming/maintenance is a lot more complicated than some people seem to think it is. Some things they simply can't fix without re-writing thousands of lines of code.

It's more specific than that...ofc we would already know what outpost they are in....this would be moreso within the outpost. ie you could just pres cntrl or whatever your hotkey is and pick them out of the crowd in the same manner that u can pick out ally members.

What you are implying....
you~"hey where are you?"
them~ "I'm by the chest!"
you~"there's tons of ppl by chest"
them~"I'm the derv"
you~"there's 5 dervs there"
them~"I'm the one on the right"

What I'm implying....
you~"where are you?"
them~"aed1"
you~(hold cntrl and their tag is color highlighted) "gotcha"

Idk....just thought it would be nice since I would rather have this then the ally highlight, since im more likely to group via fl than ally tag

well good idea, but the "what i'm implying" part can be countered with

add him to you party..

Atro · Oct 08, 2011, 06:10 PM // 18:10

I like the idea, I found it rather rude the way North Dragon Slayer put it. It'd be a nice feature for the reason above but its not likely to be implemented in GW, it'd be nice it the team considers it for GW2 tho.

Yeah so how about we stop with stupid ideas that detract from them being able to work on GW2 eh?

Reverend Dr · Oct 08, 2011, 06:40 PM // 18:40

I want aliases for the friends list.

Fair enough.

So it would be detracting asking the live crew to work on GW1? I thought working on GW2 was based on the GW2 crew and not soo much on the GW1 live crew.

i DO think its a good idea, but tbh (as with much wanted these days)

theres bigger problems to be dealt with before.

Well if you found out What district they are in

Simply copy and Paste there Name(While in same district of course) into party box bar (where henchmen name appears if you click them) Click invite and boom found them.

Bristlebane · Oct 09, 2011, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Here would be an alternative idea..
We can already see the outpost a mutual friend is located in. Now if we clicked their name in the friend's list while in the same outpost, it would target them. Possible also showing a [+] sign next to their names allowing to send invites without having to type their names? While at it, it should also show current guild/alliance members on the same map to more easily party up.

Well one reason would be that asking someone a question sometimes comes at an inconvenient time.
afk, middle of battle middle of a trade etc, people often forget to set their status every time they are busy.

Tags that could easily locate people you select could be useful, though I guess it could be abused most things are.

Is it very important no so it its a difficult thing to program then forget it, if its fairly straightforward then add it to the list of game improvements.

Shayne Hawke · Oct 09, 2011, 01:07 PM // 13:07

This has been suggested before.
