Guild Wars 2

Guild Wars 2 is a game where dyes and clothing color are truly emphasised. Me and many others spend a lot of time and effort, gathering dyes to match with different outfits. But to what end? Is it worth it if you’re not sure wether the effort is concrete?

In the PvP battlegrounds everyone gets a chance to show off. You get to leave a mark in the most fierce of environments. I think that many would agree on the fact that the battleground is the place you’d want for your character to make an impression.

Team colors stand in the way of letting your personality show on the battlefield (!) Why would you need team colors? To see what team we’re on? Come on- we have colored name tags for that, and now also the mini-map player markers. Why put so much effort into a character customisation system when it’s not always utilised?

I know team colors can be turned off individually- but I want to know my effort is visible for everyone. Away with the pesky team colors!

Everything else is lovely.

what are u talking about bud?U can set in options to see team colours like red or blue or to see every individual colour armor,next time investigate first before u start attacking

I believe team colors are on by default. Not sure how many people take the time to go and disable them. Would prefer the other way around as per the OP’s reasons.

You misunderstand my point. As I stated in the latter part of my post, I know team colors can be turned off. But they are, just like HoneyBoy clarifies, on by default- and this fact makes it uncertain if your efforts are ever shown. Most people probably go with the default settings, thus ruining your characters appearance.

Why have a dye system if you’re going to make everyone red and blue by default anyway? Let us show our colors Anet. It would feel so much more worth the effort, had team colors been removed or put away from the standard settings.

If people don’t care enough to uncheck the box, it’s a 100% guarantee that they don’t share your opinion that the appearance of characters are ruined. Or they are a shoutcaster using team colours to actually improve the visibility of the game.

If the box was unchecked by default, and one has to check the box to get the team colours, would that appease you?

What a weird thing to rant about, when it’s clear that anyone who’s played the game for more than an hour will have the settings tweaked to their liking already.

Edit: It actually seems like you want the removal of optional features that you don’t agree with. It’s such a big deal to you that other players can’t opt out of seeing your ‘fierce-ness’, LOL?

Turn your team colours off, and continue playing with the knowledge that only you really care how you think your character is really, really really, ridiculously good looking.

You’ll eat a muffin. You’re going to eat it and like it!

Narcissus walks among us once more! Hades holds no power.

By all means switch the default. It makes no sense to default visual clarity over unclarity

I don’t have many dyes on my alts so they look like kitten for the most part, therefore I like having team colours on by default and I like the fact that most people won’t turn them off and see my kittenty colours.

What now? Do they change the game to suit you, or do they keep it the way it is to suit others?

You really didn’t think before you posted this, lol.
