Name Colorization - possible solution
naossano:
Add an ingame command for each character.
~addcolor charactername color status
So, you can't copy paste the same namecolorizing for each teammember.

are often reduced to colors, you don't have to think, you give colors. You give a huge list to someone,
and all the person has to do is to pew pew the right colors. It promotes acting on reflex. Others did the
thinking for you, so you don't have to. It takes away depth not adds it IMO.

There is color recognition right now, that is not an argument for a feature that will not change anything to your sense of "depth", there is none in a game with million alts and most of the characters are anonymous. Your color is friendly and everyone else is enemy, old NC just allows more customization of that and makes much easier time of setting up friendlies(friendly player groups, we don't have cosmetic effects on armors or something like that, what's so hard to give a us a color, it's a game for god sake) you know in the list witch i don't see as anything bad, i would understand no NC solution in a game where 1 character is maximum. Furthermore everyone can alter their own lists and make their own decisions, in a TC situation it doesn't matter what colors who has, it's balls easy to recognize an opponent enemy group without or with the complexity of customization.

aren't around it's not because of sharing colorization. It's because staying visible in a town
is in most cases worse than staying on world map.

Ofcourse you can, but with old NC it's much easier and it's a game. It's something that brought together this small community in the past.
--- Quote from: JovankaB on September 14, 2012, 06:04:32 am ---I see no reason why someone who killed a person should be automatically 100% recognizable as KoS
by his/her 40 fellows all over the wasteland. If I kill your guy on a desert I shouldn't be recognized by
every "anti-pk" in california (or whole PK gang, w/e). You have no individual relations anymore,
only relations with some huge unidentifiable groups of players.

As i said, players make their own choices, large factions will shoot friendlies and enemies at all times without thinking by differing 2 colors(gray/red - enemy, NC color friendly), you won't change that.
I don't see reason to prevent old NC.

Right now it's the same - still about shooting colors, shoot red and gray and don't shoot green so I don't really see any improvement lack of colorizing caused.

In third or fourth season I played as a loner and I used TTTLA's name colorizing. And even if player was colored red I never shot him unless I knew him already, I always gave them benefit of a doubt. So I can't agree that namecolorizing dumbs everything down to colors, there's always a choice not to pull a trigger.

[...]
So with this kind of way we would avoid a copy-pasted list or people punching in thousands of nicks from a list with the command suggested by Dark Angel

Won't work - you can even use a makro-tool which gets it's keyboard input from a txt-file.
