Playing earlier I realised this would be really quite useful. I hate constantly asking who has the closest mission then waiting 5 minutes for everyone to answer.

If the SL just knew he'd seem alot more in command too. Perhaps put somewhere along the mobility tree?

I dont see this as an urgent issue at all, but if they're going to revamp the profession I think this would be a nice addition.


Yeah its easy to ask, but it'd be easier for the SL to just know where their WPs are and not have to ask.


KInd of adds an innate leadership to the SL if he doesnt have to ask where to go next.

2 missions x 20 group members (max)= 40 waypoint monitors on your screen


While I do run the game at the highest resolution, and have a huge monitor... I'm thinking that this would be more of a pain than it would be useful. Just my 2cr.

I was thinking more of a skill that you use. When you're ready you use the skill and a box appears listing all thewaypoints, with the ability to order them in distance/value.

You simply choose one, press enter and its created as a waypoint for you to see. You wouldn't want everyone's missions as waypoints, just to know which ones are closest.

I don't mean to sound like an @**, but I don't really think this is an issue that really warrants Dev attention. Perhaps you should do what I do. Choose all the same dir and head out. Tell them to speak up when you're group passes within 200m of their mission. makes it a lot easier. Besides does it really matter, you're gonna get them all anyways right.

these are all good ideas.. I posted earlyer about RL SL abilities.


I was in the Military so I would say a SL would have some abilities of other professions. But since this would make SL a little to uber (hehe) why not give SL a spec that the other professions have + a few of there weapons for use and give SL a higher exp. for each skill.....


I dont mean alot for specials, maybe 3-4 skills that are for rifleman-carb-pistol trees only and maybe 1 weapon from each of those professions + one special weapon of there own.
