Show allied AB teams in party roster

In anticipation of the upcoming AB weekend, here is a simple suggestion for a GUI change: make the other two allied teams visible on your party roster as allies (separate ally group for each team). Reasons in favor of the suggestion are:
  • it is easier to assess the tactical situation if you can see allied deaths and leavers in real time
  • it is easier to give cross team support
  • it is easier to communicate and coordinate between teams if teams can be called out by the name of their leader

Edit: bonus points to devs for making the allies roster collapsible so that if you prefer your screen real estate over random lists of names you can just minimize the allies part and mind your own business (thanks Tyla for the suggestion).

I think that's a great idea. It would certainly make it easier for some monks who are trying to heal other members besides the 3 in their party. IMO it would really save a lot of time and energy for monks to click on random kurzicks/luxon allies t o lay a heal on them and find another ally w/that same tactic ><

Been playing a resto rit in AB lately and this would be superb.
A lot of times party members just wander off and I ended up being part of a completely different team. And that's just not the most fun way to offer support.
ESPECIALLY since the pets already do show!

I have to say /notsigned

As a pvp monk one has to get used to healing npc's that ARE NOT going to be in your party window

it's the other 2 allied teams in AB, not the NPC's

/signed -- would be fun.

Though what I think would be better is make it easier to target allies in AB.

As it is now, you see their name (somewhat dim)... you try to click on them... you fail.. then you move closer and try again.. sometimes succeeding.. then they die before you can put back their red bar.

Then again, if they make it easier for me, they are making it easier for the silly Kurziks on the other side.

Would just make healing allies easier why wouldn't you /sign it?

/signed but where would the extra health bars go? The screen is already rather cramped, even at 1920x1200 resolution.

That made no sense at all.

Anyway, /Signed, I've always wanted a feature like this

It'll be like the Gyala Hatchery mission, where they had like 10-12 extra health bars for the baby turtles, npc's, and siege turtles

/Signed on one condition.

You can freely open and close the tab which has the extra allies in, much like how your Guild Lord and Bodyguard show up in GvG and how pets show up in other parts.

I personally prefer to see ony the team I'm assigned to, and since it would be an optional thing this way, you know...

/Signed.

At the very least, make it easier to click and heal the allies.

Especially big groups, yes. They all come off the same red/blue dimness to me. I can see who's getting hit, but I try to click on the name and I get someone else instead. I seldom have that problem with the NPCs, because Kurzick Elite Warrior is blatantly Kurzick Elite Warrior. XD
