Guild Wars 2

Today I’ve seen something very weird in sPvP. In fact it would’ve been weird outside of PvP also.

An Enemy Team member was randomly switching his name color from Red to Yellow and back to red again multiple times. And I’m not talking about the warm and nice Guildie Yellow. It was more on the poisonous intense side of yellow.

Can anybody tell me what happened there?

PS: Someone in my guild suggested that it might be the squad thing but there was no commander on the map and I did not join any squad to begin with.

I had the sme today in EotM, when all my enemies suddenly turned yellow nametag for a split second.

Doesn’t yellow normally mean non-hostile?

In PVE, for example, you can attack a creature with a yellow name tag, but it doesn’t/can’t attack you until you do.

As opposed to red which, obviously, means hostile and programmed to attack anything in aggro range.

Therefore, if an enemy player had a yellow name tag, as opposed to a red one, I would expect them to not be able to attack unless attacked first.

In answer to your question, I expect it’s just some kind of glitch.
