Can we have different colors for player names for squad and sub-squads?
Currently, all have the same color, which is blue. It would be better if we have a different color for those in the same sub-squad as us. It is very useful because we can see the position of those in same sub-squad therefore we can move in a more organized way. This is also very helpful for boon sharing, since most squads are organized to have sub-squads with classes that provide needed boons, like stability and protection.
I believe this only needs a minor change.

I do not like the current system. I would much prefer at least there being an alternate color for players in your sub-squad regarding both the player dot on the minimap as well as their nameplate.

Things that come to mind having a purpose for this are boons, positioning and healing… unfortunately I am still wishing for an option to “view all ally player healthbars”. Sigh. Maybe one day.
