I read through the other thread and it turned into a math debate and also I am just asking for a small change here with large significance.
I am red/green color blind and have played Vanu ever since I started playing Planetside. I have had some trouble distinguishing people but when I am playing you can usually easily tell who is the enemy and who is not. This is not to say I have not done my share of griefing.
My one change does not have anything to do with the faction colors because it would be far to much of a change along with the new customization features. My change has to do with the map. This is what annoys me the most. When I check the map I have to zoom in and look for the faction symbols on the base to tell if they are mine or the enemys. When it comes to towers I would never know unless I see people fighting there and I get close enough to see the symbols on the towers.
This video of a demonstration of how the new system works is the main reason I wanted to bring this up.
In the video the blue and purple look exactly alike that I have no idea who is who. If this is anything like what planetside 2 maps are going to have it needs to be changed.
What I propose is to change the NC color on the map to thier yellow varient so that all 3 factions are distinctly separate when I look at the map. This will not change the game itself but will help me be able to quickly look at the map and know what is going on. I hope everyone can agree on this change and make it happen. I have loved planetside since the beginning and am very much looking forward to PS2. I am going to be playing Vanu again and this small change would make a world of difference.
Summary:
Change the NC map color to the yellow varient that they use to have 3 very distinct colors on the map.
