Guild Wars 2

So yeah as commander i get to choose from yellow, red, blue and gre…eee..eeeww….pin..ekhum..purple.

Why no green? Since you’re releasing jungle themed x-pac, please please give us green commander tag!

If its green and you are in a jungle could you even see it? Should be like hunter orange.

i call it ‘adjusted to environment’;)

But you don’t understand the level of programming it would take to add green!!! :0

On the bright side i’m giving people work! (at least for one week to those 20 extra programmers struggling to add green

That would confuse red-green color blind people.

Try imagining this. You are looking for 2 tags on the map. One is blue. One is green. The background is green. Which tag will you have trouble finding?

Commander: come to me, green tag!
Everyone: where??

I always thought the reason for not having green as an option is that it would look too much like the personal story icon.
“You can’t see a green one on the map” isn’t an argument, there’s also much water on some maps and there is a blue tag, so….

I’m pretty sure the posters dissuading the idea are purely joking but it seems the forums have been rife with negative contrary-ism, disproving or dismissing even good ideas with whatever excuse they can think of :P

Even from the launch of the assortment of new comm tag colors to choose from I was hoping for a green and would love one but realized a lot of the map is quite green anyway so it’d be hard for some players to find it on the map.

I think the best option if they were to add a green comm tag would be so that it’s a very strong, light green color. A lot of the landscape/mapping is a darker green I guess.

More seriously there’s this simple solution called “outline”. Just put a nice black outline around it and it’ll work. And no one is forcing anyone to pick green. If you feel you’ll turn ninja by selecting green, select anything else. But i as comm would want to have a green tag, it’s certainly not more exotic then pin…purple.
