ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Destination Marker

There is one little thing that kindof bothers me when i'm playing GW, and that is that i can't set my own destination point on the map, so an arrow wil guide me to that point.

So in Guild Wars 2, you could like open the world map, tap the right mouse button, and VOILA! You have set a destionation point that wil cause an arrow on your minimap to point in that direction to the point you want to go to!

Get my point? Good! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:StupidJoe (talk).


 * Yes i agree.


 * Mate, you nickname StupidJoe is false :) Very clever and reasonable idea, keep that up. Ratys 19:52, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Marks on map are good too! a good adition to the strategy mechanic. Kioga 16:11, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * One of the few excellent ideas on this page. A nice addition would be being able to add permenent marks to maps of an area, to mark where something is for return trips. 71.31.149.63 19:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Good idea, but you have to make sure you can turn it off without making another one. My God that would get annoying. -Tarascus Bloodblade

It should have been already in the first Guildwars, if you ask me. -Zerone
 * Good idea. Ability to add marks with comments, remove them, and select one to go to would be great. -- [[Image:User_Alaris_sig.JPG|Alaris_sig]] Alaris 14:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably wouldn't be too hard either, may just take a modification of the current drawing on radar system to get this in game. The more I think about this idea, the more I realize how incredibly useful it would be.  I would really like to see this in GW2. 71.31.149.63 19:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

This is implemented in Final fantasy 11 and works very well. Not hotspots that you can warp to but a location marker that you can label for a point of interest (boss, chest, npc etc) I think this should be implemented in GW2 for many reasons and all it takes is a little editing to the world map interface. It is actually a prett easy programming step and all of these "locations" or markes is actually stored locally on your system so that it onyl requires a couple of lines of code to be written in for accessing and synching.


 * Assassin's Creed has this feature and i love it, its great to be able to zoom in on the map and set a desination to where i want to go. Though it should only be character based and not party based.--Treasure Boy 16:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I for one agree with this it would be a great added feature. Even more so now with GW2 not using instances so much mark on you map a few spots ect.. where you can reference back to it remove it and shows only on your own personal radar... this is one of the best suggestions to date Gow Czar

Would be so easy to do and sueful, why, Anet could add it to GW if theye wanted to. I imaging the skills and build profile manager was more complex than this would be =D. I'm all for this, would be a valuable and worthwhile addition. Would be great tho if you could have to option to mark locations for a friend, kinda like sending a build, each mark is a mini build that you can position, name, add comments, ect. Then you would be able to turn them on/off and send them to people. Would make locating bosses, areas, dungeons ect INCREADIBLY easy for people. OH! Add drawable paths too. Too many good things to come of this, fore GW2 nd GW1 is Anet thinks they can pull it off that easily. --Wolf 16:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow i think this is a great idea, you could have various symbols/markers showing different points of interest Eg Monument/Statue sign or Boss Sign that you could write your own personal message to go with :) Words can heal 13:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I like this idea. I think it would work, too, because your map markers could be saved on your PC, as opposed to on ANet servers; and therefore, this idea wouldn't require any more server space than is already being used. Besides, what adventurer wouldn't make note of things on his maps? --70.130.208.59 20:22, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

They said that GWW would be integrated into Guildwars sometime... don't know when exactly, or how it will work. (Terra Xin 11:25, 17 June 2008 (UTC))

This would be a great feature to incorporate into GW2. I always kept paint open with a huge version of the entire GW map so I could mark points of interest on it.

Agree. This is very basic and should have been implemented a long time ago. Sharing map markers (or markings---actual drawing is my preference instead of just placing point markers) with your party is also good. --148.87.1.171 02:58, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I think this is a good idea too. Always when I was playing I wished they had that too
