Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been running bunker down in PvP.

And I 1v1ed a fellow bunker down engie…

And it was bandage chaos.

Telling the difference between my team’s bandages and the other team’s bandages was always kind of annoying but I could deal with it since sources of bandages were rare enough that is was really only an issue if two engies dropped their supply crates on the same point. Now there’s more supply drops so this happens more often.

This is also going to be a massive issue once Revenants start throwing healing orbs everywhere. Banners and conjured weapons could also use more differentiation.

I suggest we simply have a bright red/orange ring showing under enemy support drops like bandages, weapons, banners and heal orbs so we can more easily tell them apart from our own. And brighten up the blue ones under our own for higher visibility. (Maybe even turrets too, while we’re at it? They don’t get red names like Pets and Minions do, so I have to target them to check for hostiles)

I support this.

I don’t think they need to brighten up the enemy ones, since solid orange circles are used for AoE damage in certain situations.

Although having a solid blue circle under the bandages and also med kit dispensibles would make them a lot easier to identify on the floor. Having seen literally hundreds of people simply walk past my med kit dispensibles even though I threw it right in front of their faces, I’d definitely be in favour of such a change.

Same applies to Orbital Strike – there’s 3 or 4 identical blue beams coming down around a fight and you can’t tell while ones you need to dodge.
