  • In this video, I’ll cover commanding in Guild Wars 2, with a particular focus on open-world commanding. This video shows you how to obtain a commander tag, the features a tag grants you, and has various tips for choosing content to command, learning to command that content, recruiting for a squad, and being a good commander that players want to run with. Open-world is a large draw in Guild Wars 2 for many players and the game can always use more friendly commanders running more content on various maps. This video has been partially inspired by a couple of Reddit posts, as well as individuals from the Overflow Trading Company that expressed interest in learning to command farming trains.
    If you’d like a guild to command for and you’re on NA, feel free to join the Discord for my guild and shoot me a message expressing your interest:

    Thanks Abree. Don't know when, but being a good commander is part of my GW2 road and am grateful for this help.

    I wish Com tags were cheaper. I've been debating if I should get one, to run fishing events and stuff.

    • @Skyace13

      I wish they were cheaper because I want one, but I also think it’s a good thing. You have to REALLY want a tag to get it. For anything quick, a mentor tag works just fine. I think the “gate keeping” in this care leads to higher quality commander tags

    at start i just a member in squad for DE Meta, and after deciding to get my own tag, i tried to commanding for DE Meta, and most of the run went smoothly.
    for those who just want to try commanding, don't be scared, i think there are a lot of kind people will help and understand if you make mistake at commanding, GW2 is a great place with great community, specially in PvE contents

    commander tags should be bound to achivements, maybe with multiple levels.

    • @abree107

      Interesting idea. Unfortunately, I think they're hitched to gold at this point.

  • @bray1872

    Kinda surprised you didn't mention TacO, I always figured that would be a big help for commanders.

    • @abree107
      @abree107  Рік тому

      I'd usually recommend commanders to have stuff figured out past the point of needing TacO. Once you've run things a couple times it's usually pretty doable.

    @Abree and about the video settings? What the recommend settings to do events/command metas? Character * Low? Effect lod? shadows?

    • @abree107
      @abree107  Місяць тому

      If you're looking to save frames, lowering quality on player models and hiding nearby players will make the biggest difference. Turning the environment and shadows down could help too.

    I know it has nothing to do with this video, but I’m curious about your thoughts on the new map and it’s economic effect. More of what you think ANet is doing right and wrong versus the literal effects because those are pretty clear

    • @abree107
      @abree107  Рік тому +2

      I've not looked into it much. Item sinks being added is always good for the longevity of the game as far as I'm concerned, but I've been too busy doing stuff with my boyfriend to play since it came out. I'll add a comment a bit later with more thoughts.

    I've always been immediately kicked from any commander squad i have ever joined even before the event starts so I have just started ignoring most of this stuff. I just look at the event timers now, Its not a great impression as a newer player but i have found a lot of gatekeeping (Squads/Guilds) goes on in GW2 that no one really talks about.

    • @abree107
      @abree107  Рік тому +9

      Interesting... The only situations I've ever seen for kicking people out of squads is when players are on other maps. If that's not the case, I'd urge you to give a different squad a try, as what you experienced isn't very common.
      You'll probably find gatekeeping in instanced content. With the exception of Dragons End, where commanders need specific roles filled, open world is generally the most accepting of newer players.

    • @Realblack_m0nster
      @Realblack_m0nster Рік тому

      I usually kick people for 3 reasons. 1 they aren't replying or seemingly reading chat. 2 they aren't in my map. 3 They're being an asshole in some way.

    honestly i see allot commanders not amaouncving shit wen i just randomly roam around o sudenly see 3 /4 commanders doing a world boss with out amoucning it lol

    • @abree107
      @abree107  Рік тому

      If you're just doing 1 thing in an already populated map, it isn't 3allt necessary.

    Commander tag should be one copper

    • @abree107
      @abree107  Рік тому +2

      It was originally expensive to make sure people couldn't just tag up to be a nuisance in WvW, amongst the tags of people actually trying. They've kept it that way as a gold sink. In the grand scheme of things, the cost isn't that big of a barrier. In the time you're learning to run a few metas, you can make the requisite gold.
