We need a few more tag colors please. When you have multiple commanders on a map and only have 4 colors to choose from it’s not so good. Can we have please just a few more tag colors? We have red, blue, purple, yellow. Can we have like 4 more color options like green, pink, orange, and silver? This would help a lot.

Ok, I really don’t know if there’s an option to add colors or a plan to do so. But just in case, what would be on the wish list? Keep in mind the tag should be visible on the mini and world/overhead map, so it might be best to suggest bold, non-metallic, non-transparent-ish colors.

Red is hard to see against an enemy blob and particle effects. Blue is hard to spot due to friendly squad blue names.

While a lot of servers originally assigned meanings to specific colors (map, guild raid, scout, etc), often now it’s just “can we have only one tag of that color on the map?”

So orange, maybe? Or brown? Bright teal?

Also, the ability to change the tag color while leading a squad would be hugely helpful…

I think there are enough colors personally, but would like the Red and Blue to be more visible.
Or revamp the way the dots affect each other on the minimap, maybe give us options on how large to make the dots and pins. (Since some won’t be able to see anything if too small)

Green and Orange to satisfy my OCD :p (Base colors red, yellow, blue, mixing 2 of those gives Orange, Green and Purple).

I already have trouble spotting the Yellow tag as is, and I think some tinkering with the color of it would be nice to make it stand out more. Red could also be stronger/brighter to be more visible, sometime miss that one.

Blue and Purple seems to work best (for me).

Orange shouldn’t prove much of a problem it’s a pretty visible color. Green could be harder, but make it a strong/bright green so it doesn’t blend into the background and it could work.

Going to guess a lot of people are going to vote for Pink, think it will only cause trouble with red/purple. White/black is completely out.

Can you pop the idea of making your guild emblem your commander tag? It would be awesome to look at your map and know what guild is running where or at least the guild of the commander running. Would make for a great commander alternative using art already in the game.

Hey Loosmaster — I don’t know what would be available, but I’d suggest that ideas might best stay within the normal color ranges, even the standard 9 (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, brown, white).

In truth, I just had my curiosity piqued by the concept and wondered (1) if more colors were truly desired/desirable and (2) what colors you guys had in mind.

I wouldn’t mind more colors. However, I would LOVE shapes that have meaning based on group style and roles: zerg-mander, guild only, havoc squad, guerilla strike force/black ops, roaming, defense, scouting, etc.

Our server tried to reach a consensus on assigning such meanings to the various colors, but eventually, since we couldn’t really control or enforce them, we learned to live with multiple tags and colors and didn’t worry about the meanings so much. And that actually improved our communication and coordination.

That’s why I was asking. Maybe you can get an answer from the Devs if there is a certain color spectrum the game may be limited to in relation to the icons so we don’t offer suggestions needlessly, if you catch my drift.

I often run a scout tag but it tends to confuse new players or those that aren’t part of the server community. It would be useful to have a different shape so that people can tell where we have eyes without having to all be in the same squad.

Guild tag would be pretty difficult imo, if it’s the emblem alone, it’ll be hard to see. You “could” make the tag look like the guild shields, a silver background with the emblem, but the emblem would then be smaller, and will probably just look like a jumble of colors, especially considering that some emblems are pretty detailed.

not saying it a colour I would use but pink would stand out.

-Electric blue……. wait…..

can we get flashing tags!? like one that could fade from a dark red to a bright red and back again over say a 2 seconds flashing faster if in combat ? would mean more limited colour options but they would be hard to miss people.

make it an extra 150g, “the supreme commander accessory hand book” with all the bells and whistles. with flashing tags, more colours, maybe with guild symbols ( that are under the tag like what the rev Herald icon) horn sounds ( that the other WvW server could hear if they are close enough)

  • Green (either lime or Emerald)
  • Black
  • White
  • Orange or Chocolate Brown (strong, bright, bold)
  • Pink

By pink I mean the prettiest girliest princess pink ever for my big manly Charr to don in battle!

Okay all jokes aside I think those colors would widen the spectrum a bit whilst not being too similar to the colors we already have available.

I am trying to be mindful of whom might be color blind but I do understand colors such as green may be exactly the same as yellow so that’s why I’m indicating either a very vivid lime green or darker such as Emerald.

I would love more commander tag colors available.

I mean I can understand people especially new players or colour blind players wanting tags to be a single colour so its easier to follow/understand. In which cause I think an option (in the options menu) to make all tags the same colour of your choosing is a good idea that would put these minority concerns to rest. While the rest of us can enjoy a full RBG tag colour system!

-Black
-White
-Orange
-Green (Emerald)

Otherwise:
Just give us this for now. We will be happy and you won’t have to revisit the discussion in the future because enough people will be happy having 7 colours total to choose from. Problem solved. Simple solution. Simple Life.

You can even charge money for these. People WILL buy them.

My issues is that red and purple tag instantly falls off and drown in the red sea of players in high tiers servers. Even blue tags does it sometimes but red and purple are the worst.

I really would want more colors to choose from. Maybe also a option to make the tags more visible, maybe bigger or i don’t know, but more visible in wvw.
Good colors would probably be something maybe white or really any color that do not float together with the environment and the sea of red players.

I have a suggestion for commander tags. I think it would be a great idea to show the commander’s current guild tag when they are moused over on the map. See my little mock up (upscaled 125%).

While not really on the subject of color, is there anyway you can give better priority to the tags? Currently in larger fights, nameplates actually go over the tag, and can make it hard to spot. If there is a way they could be always on top I think that would help alot.

From my experience in WvW, I think that the ability to modify how you see the tag would be better than new colors.

For me, the best change would be to be able to move the tag higher than the player’s names, regardless of the character’s race.

While I’m suggesting changes, please create a way to get rid of those messages that pop up in the middle of the screen. They are such a pain. Especially when you fight from range and have them blocking your attacks.

I think new tag colours are a good thing. With having the new HoT maps, and them being more organized, and with the WvW server merge, therefore more tags being around I hope this can happen.
My suggestions for colours would be: green, black/grey and white. Those colors would stand out the most and be visible in most maps.
