Because it's not easy. And everything that is not easy, needs more time. Also it doesn't have a high priority rating.

Once the 3d models get finished there shouldn't be any problem with having gang colours applied to armour automatically for each gangmember. Have like 2 colour choices, one for main and one for trim.

I wonder why are devs against clan tags, paintings, flags, tattoos? Imho gang members should have an option to make themselves different from others if they wish to. I kinda like the situation where you don't know who is who (some possibilities can come out of this for thieves and "bad" players) but if one wishes to be marked and identified as a member of X (such as slavers with their tattoo), then why not?

Fonline has always suffered from player uniformity, the more you allow players to customize the more attached to their characters and immersed in the game they become. Even if your interests are purely pvp it helps to look cool while doing it and gives you more of a pack mentality.

I can understand that, and it's an excellent reason. But I would like to have your opinion about the idea.
You said that this kind of things will never happen. But it's normal that players of faction mod want to be able to recognize each other. What do you think about these things ?

I voted against it. I'm also against namecolorizing, but whatever. I liked Fonline better when you weren't able to just download someone's namecolorizing list and recognise everyone. Nowadays, I handle my team's Namecolorizing.txt and I wonder if it's what it was supposed to be (I mean, coloring teams like coloring models in Quake 3 Arena, for every shithead to know whether he shoots at friend or enemy).

Thats because of game missing content and some general conflict that would have created natural friends and natural enemies. I don't like namecolorizing either since its not ingame feature and everything external sucks (but it works as temporary solution). Anyway I hope that we will see more of social gadgets in future.

We are against default clan tags, because it looks shit to have [AAI], [BLARG] or [FFU] dudes running around.

You said that this kind of things will never happen.

I wrote that default and always visible clan tags (for every player) will never happen.

But this does not rule out clan tags made by paints, clothing, tattoos or simply description in message box. I understand that you are against clan tags like this:

 Sius
[VSB]
  (\ /)       
 (o.O)     
 (").(")

But whats wrong with description/visual based tags? With 3d models appearance changes should be easier so maybe add some sort of recognition through clothing. Like default bluesuit clothes could change based on your gang choice. X icons to choose from so instead of "13" on your back you could have words/icons/shapes there with different colors. Tattoos could work just through description = general appearance is not changed but if you inspect someone you will get info in your message box that "You see middle-aged man with tattoo of a brahmin on his forehead. Looks unhurt." etc...

Forgot to lock it. ;)

...

Maybe this can be disussed in the future when those 3d models will be working. For now,
End of the line.
