Maybe the solution for better customization would be to have the choice of customizing our character with a color.

AND like the "F10" button for TC, let the possiblity to put all names in white or with their specific colors.

For example. I will have access to a .txt file where I will put 3 RGB numbers.
That way I will be able to have the same color of my team and be recognized by others.
AND for those who don't want it, they can toggle it off.



Edit: This solution is meant to have an alternative of NC in case it wouldn't come back
Those who voted no please explain: it is an option that you can toggle as I said, you can see colors or not as you like (toggle button like Turn-based/Real-time)



Edit 2: I was just told I was not clear enough, so I will reformulate it as:
 => You choose a color for the name of your character AND other people will be able to see it by a toggle button (toggle on: I see your name in color you chose/ toggle off: current situation (name white/green or red))
just a new customization of a character in fact (difference is you could change it when you want.)




Edit 3: new version

On the computer of the faction, the leader of the faction chooses a color
On the computer, all members can have the personal choice to wear that color or not
Also, all wastelanders will have a toggle button: toggle on: I see names around me in gangs'colors / toggle off: current situation (names white/green or red)

Additional suggestion from Andr3as:

Maybe fix the exploitable feature with a color-change cooldown of X hours/days. I mean if a gang establishes a color they wont change it.
Second Idea: make fixed colors and only 1 gang can choose 1 color.

Additional mixed-suggestion from Doctor Ex/pistacja/Oskarus

Color + gang name (short version)

And dont let choose what to be dispalyed. What displayed - is short version of gang name. You switch off "show gang names" by hotkey.

[Izual]

Agreed, but only if this is done in-game through a button, or so.

[A concerned wastelander]

How about a third color for tagging? Red or green kind of mean there is no grey area (yes i know by default names are grey, but it only means you never encountered the character before), maybe a third color could help, color you could use for *sometimes allies, sometimes ennemy characters*, or *dont shoot on sight but be carefull characters*, for exemples.

[Michaelh139]

It won't work.

People can copy colors from what i understand, so it'll just become a big confusing mess and everyone will prolly toggle it off.

If I misunderstand explain to me please.  It is kinda hard to grasp for some reason....

[JustGreat]

As I understand, you choose a color that other's can see you if they toggle NC on. So if I choose the color grey (in RBG format), then if someone has NC toggle on, then that person will see me grey. Though to be honest I do not see a purpose to this, because if someone knows your team's RBG (or even similar color), then it defeats the purpose of this suggestion.

[Andr3aZ]

too exploitable, imagine TC when some trollgang just all change their color to the enemies color?

correct me if i got your idea wrong.

Well, in fact you have to see this option as an extra customization feature for your character => like choosing a name or like choosing to have longhair => another mean to distinguish oneself among clones.

=> you are both right and i have to modify it in consequence

=> new version:

Also, all wastelanders will have a toggle button: toggle on: I see names around me in gangs'colors / toggle off: current situation (names white/green or red)

Of course some malicious gang could still log their faction leader before a battle, go into their base, change the color to have the color of the gang they want to attack, but I think they will be focused soon as all membership color will change consequently. So not a problem I think.

If owners of the gang will be chosing this colour there will be always this problem. Better solution would be for my faction to chose colours of other factions.

Colors will not help. Instead of colors, let it be gang name (short version)

Indeed, it would work better in term of efficiency but problem is it adds letters over heads and too many letters make the screen horrible don't you think?

And reading gang name is far more time consuming. But if we have enforced gang names those gangs could also have predefined assigned colour. (unknown to players) This might prevent creating gang with slightly brighter green than someone elses gang just to make confusion.

[pistacja]

There are about 20 colours that are different at first look. So there can be only 20 gangs if one colour is for one gang only.

3 letter tags are a much better option. Thats over 1500 unique tags.

Thats true. So why not both?
