Toggable team colours...

Postby Defaulter » Tue Apr 03, 2012 11:21 am

Hey,

As you may have noticed, since recent updates it is possible to tweak the team colours, server side...

I personally think this takes away some of the nostalgia from AoS, the whole "Blue vs green!" "green scum, blue master race!" Feeling. And on-top of this, I rarely see alternate colours used. And most certainly some combination of team colour and fog can make a server very one sided.

What do you guys think?

If you rarely see alternate colors used, then what''s so bad about having the option?

I was about to create a thread on the subjet. I just can´t play with orange vs green. It's much more difficult for me to tell the difference between teams and relying on the nickname pop-up is a big no-no. Server admins, take daltonics into account please.

I totally agree. For both team colors, and fog, it seems as they're used rarely. Having the option to play around with it would be nice.

It is useful to have the option. E.g. matches on isle of war should change green team to.. red for example, since green have the advantage of blending in.
However, this is the only time I'd advocate the use of changing colours. We have it, not too many people use it, don't see why we need to remove it.

You're reading it wrong.

Also, most of the trusted servers don't have a dramatic team colour change nor most of the servers with the top ping; it is rarely used. I think you should just let it be.

I remember I played on a small server with a snow-themed forest and both teams were almost the same shade of white.
Pretty awesome game that was.

Orange and green are very distinctively different colors...

Meh, I'm ok with some servers changing colors, but I like it how it is now. Blue and green just have the backstory that makes it fun.

I don't really mind the different team colors, truthfully. I do like the classic Blue VS Green most of the time, but sometimes it is nice to be a different color.

As others have said, not many servers use it, so you should have no problem avoiding them. ;)

I dont see whats wrong with having the option, especially since its already there. Its not like every server is scheming to make every server the most annoying color choices possible while the fog is the same exact color as one of the teams making it incredible hard to see.

Wikipedia wrote: About 8 percent of males, but only 0.5 percent of females, are color blind in some way or another, whether it is one color, a color combination, or another mutation.


What that means if there's 1500 players at a given time, you could be screwing around 120 by using combinations like green vs orange or green vs red.

I'm OK with blue vs green, but it would be nice to have the option to customize team colors. It works really well in other games.

Why would you want to remove server-side options?? What if whoever's running the server has a favorite color they want to use? Does it really bother you so much to see non-traditional team colors?
