It was like that before and people used to leave right away if the team did not fit their choice. With reporting and dishonor system in place this may not be a huge issue anymore.

i hate it, when heroes or henchs don't heal their other allies, only because they don't get shown up in the party window -.-

I don#t see, where the problem is to put everything into the party window simple .. and once the window grows too big, then will appear som click buttons in the party window, which will reduce the length of the party window and let the player decide, which part of the paty window should be showed by it ...

its like it functions in forums ..

You click such an little arrow button..and a part of a forum will be show to you, you click that button again and the once shown to you part of the forum will disappear and gets smallered to a single line with the name of the area of the part of the forum..

i ask me really, why that can#t be changed to such a system ingame for the party window

There is nothing wrong with that, except when you cant see your allies status because their not shown in the party menu.

This causes issues because..

1) In missions like unwaking waters, you dont know if you have an allie team of humans, AI or a mix.

2) You cant see the full status of your team (i.e who is alive, who is dead, who needs health and protecting, who has degen on them), because you can only see your 4 or 8 players.

3) You may get lost and unable to find team members in areas like AB. If you die and res you have a fairly big map to run around to find your team and sometimes thats not easy if the team is mobbing or broken up. But you can only tell when you close to your original 4 man team because their names turn white, but it doesnt help you find the other 8 or 12 (how ever many it is in AB).

Anet really should have done this when they decided to have missions or challenges which involved "Allies", because you need to know the location and status of your entire team, otherwise how you can accurately fight as one?

This is especially more important in the allied missions though!

I realise it would add a party bar with upwards of 16+ players (including pets) and it may get comfusing, but with them seperated into an "allies" section and/or a "pets" section like you do with NPCs, it should be easy to distinguise.

P.S how about star rating it if you like the idea!

Its a great idea and all but I dont see Anet adding this.

Tips for all the bolded.

1.Use Alt and check to see if you see real names or heros or henchies its not that hard

2. Again Alt is your friend and just mouseing over the char shows the health bar. I heal this way In AB all the time I heal my party and whoever is low on health outside of my party. I get alot of Thank yous.

3. It is Ab 4-4-4 split DONT MOB UP

yes - it is ab, but tell me how many times DONT you see a mob go on?
specially if the other 8 players are bad, mob and you are just standing there /sighing

if i were to add this, i'll make other parties available through tabs on the party bar, which allows you to quickly switch between each allied party.

but i don't see this happening.

So when you die and res at a the base or somewhere else in AB, your meant to casually stand there and tell the other side "hang on 2 seconds while I hold down alt and scan for who is in range of me, please dont kill me"?

The point of adding them all the party bar is so you can quickly and very easily find them and regroup with 4+ people. You find yourself alone in AB all too often because groups die and your left alone and your wonder around a pretty big map trying to find others.

The main reason AB can get so messed up is becaus we cant see where each other are easily, like you can the 4 people in your small party. You end up running around like a headless chicken, unless your fortunate enough to find one or two people running around and you join them.

The entire point of party search is to show information on your entire team, and in AB or other missions that includes more then just 4 or 8 people. The entire team is the full 12 or 16.

We should be able to see them all.

Using short cuts like alt isnt good enough when your alone and being chased by 2 to 3 people from the opposing side!

Not a big deal but I don't see anything wrong with the idea.
