So let’s discuss enemy colours in WvW.

Currently the enemies are coloured either red, blue or green depending on what server colours are allocated. Enemies personal dyes are not shown.

What do people think?

i think it would be excellent if the color of the names of enemies, coorespond with the server they are fighting for.

IE: red\blue\green depending on which color you are in the matchup.

We don’t need to see their personal colors. The fact that they are all the same color makes zerg combat more controllable. And their names do correspond with the server they are fighting for.

I think coloured names would be a better solution, the colours can be bold and stand out, instead of blending in with their armor. All the enemies names are the same colour, which can make things hard. I find myself reading the name to see which server they are on, as the colours on the armor are not so obvious sometimes.

I dont have any problem with it…

Wanted to add a suggestion to AN:
An option to have enemy names be the color of their world would be nice.

When engaging 3 way battles, it would be nice to make a quick estimate of which side has alot more ppl and names are a nice way to find out if they had a specific color. Not everyone would love this option but I would and if this was checkmark option it would be nice.

you can show it off to your own team mates. whats the point of showing the enemy your colour design since firstly you can’t speak to them, secondly it will cause issues if they have a all red/blue/green design(the colour which isn’t theres), since it makes it easier to see who’s who, since names are all in red ( if i remember correctly) so you can easily pick off the wining factor in a 3 way fight.

I didn’t say it was hard just easier if all enemy armour is shown as their team colour.

you also never explain what would be the point of showing the enemy your colour design.

I don’t agree that it’s easier if the armor is coloured. Id rather the names coloured.

True that, although it would make the fights look a little grim. Seeing enemy dyes makes it a little less stale. And I think coloured names are sufficient.

I agree. I understand that red names are bad in PvE.

But when I’m red team in WvW, and I see red names, and red areas on the map, it messes me up all the time, especially cause my server switches to blue then green all the time. I think Blue team should have Blue names and so on.

That’s another point I wanted to pick up on. I think home servers colour should stay the same, and just the enemies colour change. This can easily be done, but your server could be red but appear green to your enemies. I don’t think this would cause any problems.

Lag would be terrible if everyone’s colors showed. I wish it wasn’t the case, but in a huge battle, the server calls need to be minimized to limit latency issues. Nature of the beast.

I wish there was an option to set all friendly to your world colour as well – as seeing someone in bright blue or red armour when you’re fight for green always makes me double-take.

I had this discussion before with other people. There is not a latency issue, the amount of data required is very insignificant. It’s no different from world events.
