Name colorizing changes

(1/10) > >>

Ned Logan:
If you voted "Yes..." please explain why.

As far as I understand the changes, the client side (NameColorizing.txt) name colorizing would only show on your team members...
Why do this change?
After this change, everyone who doesn't shoot on sight is at huge disadvantage. Before the change, the gangs could share their lists of enemies or their members. Now there is no way for us to construct those lists, so we can only try to memorize the names (like a telephone number book)...

The server side green/red coloring is no good, because:
1) it is per char
2) it is not shareable
3) often you don't manage to color the person (he is not standing still or is out of your view - often when you are lying on the ground dead)

So now there is no way to make something like outlaw lists possible...
Combined with no global karma system, which I don't like as much as I hate this changeit is even more safe to play as a PK gang...
Yes, that is definitely what this server needs - alienate it's anti-PK playerbase...
Do you want us to start "roleplaying raiders" too? I would if it wouldn't be so hypocritical of me...
Definitely a good step 2238 team, now with FOnline SDK out in any day... I applaud you...

(As a note, I think pretty much all the other changes with the update seem good to me, but this is just a bit too strong poison for an otherwise tasty dish...)

Jeoshua:
I just don't understand why ANYONE would like this change.  Has there been any word on why it was done? It's not abusable, as far as I can tell.

Messy:
I liked how it used to be with colorizing list. I can not remember every name of people trying to rob me so not making it shareable, even between local character, its very inconvenient. Also, I really liked the idea of an outlaw list, that way at least you would know that being a cold blooded murderer could have some global consequences.

Misiolap:
Since namecolorizing now works only for your faction, why not just colorize all members of your faction - lot less micromanagement related to preparing and downloading it.

Well really.. just make all members of your faction (+NPC faction if you're in NPC faction) by teal or blue or something color.
And hostile (orange or something) color for all names that belongs to gang that trying to capture town and this gang isn't yours.
