I don't have a problem with the closest mission being seen by everyone as a group waypoint for all groups. It's not the most efficient way to run missions however. I would like to see us get the ability to see everyone's active waypoints, and give us the ability to show everyone else in the group a waypoint we choose. This way we can choose the order in which we do the missions, or set up a meeting spot for everyone. That part should definately be Squad Leader exclusive.
The problem I see with this part is that it will get too crowded.In agroup of say 20 people, that's 40 waypoints on the screen. (I know 20 is a bit much, but still.)
And what about solo groups? Having all their wps on the screen?

I dno't have any problem with any group being able to see the closest mission.
But I would like to see SL's having a nice interface for seeing all of the group's waypoint, and picking one (or some) of them to display to the entire group. And these shouldn't be isolated to just missions, we should be able to create any waypoint and show it to the group. Basically another page on our Datapad for "Group Waypoints", where when we activate one it becomes visible to the entire group.

I "think" the Group Waypoint has been in the game for ages but it was bugged, so in a way they didn't need to inform you guys because all they were doing was fixing a year old bug and not adding anything new.
That's true, this was a feature in Beta but we had a few problems with the waypoints in the datapad.

Very nice idea! I like it a lot. Another tab in our datapad for group would be nice especially anyone could place waypoints there and only the SL to highlight them as needed.
I would also hope that in the mean time, we get a way to select them with a macro command much like artisans select their schematics too...

Ooh, really like the idea about the datapad.
And the arrows should be another color, too. Not yellow like the POI ones. Maybe... green? red? White?
