Group Leader Markers Needed

mrawileyb14_ESO · July 2015

My guild has wanted banners forever! We want to be able to have one person (or everyone if they want to I guess) who carries a flag on a long pole, with the guild tabard design, or whayever design the player chooses. This would make it much easier to organize large groups in PVP. The banner could be a costume that is applied similar to the guild tabard, and is attached to the players back like a samurai bannerman. I would certainly pay gold or crowns for this item, and I know several other guild members, and other guilds we have grouped with, who would like to see the same thing, and would likely be willing to pay for it as well.

Agreed.
Or those pillars of light scroll carriers get. Pretty sure there's a public dungeon trophy with the same effect, so it shouldn't be that hard to implement as a consumable or a wearable costume.
Preferably in lots of different colors, too.

because following the crown is not possible for more than 24 at a time?

Yes to the additional and better identifyable markers for group members, but these need to be visible for the group only. Otherwise you may as well remove the maximum limit of players in a large group and get you 100-player zergs running behind a single guy.

When in your map screen, you can place a marker (using the F key by default) that only you can see on your compass.

I always thought it would be very beneficial for players to get 3+ identifying markers that they could place on individual members of their groups. These markers would show up on the compass to allow players to easily find specific groups members. Other members of the party would not see these markers; they would be entirely for you to control and for your benefit.

I usually play healer when doing the daily pledges. This feature would allow me to easily find the tank when the tank is not the leader of the group. I could easily find a DPS to give it combat prayer. Because I control these markers, I could eventually develop a system in my head which associates a diamond marker with the tank, circle with the healer, square with primary DPS, etc. This would make forming subgroups for AA runs much easier too because each player could mark their subgroup members.

This could also help facilitate spreading out in PVP. Your guild could form a group of 24 people, that way everyone knows where everyone is on the map, but that group could then branch off to complete other objectives by having members mark certain people in the group as their secondary leaders.
