I'm not too thrilled about camo options

[Buggsy]

I've been watching videos and it looks like it will be hard on the eyes trying to identify targets. Wouldn't there be allot of friendly fire.

I get that WOW battleground feel when watching the videos, where everyone looks a motley collection of whatevers. Looking at the video, that camo doesn't give me the feeling of being in a faction, being part of a team.

And red, purple, and yellow-blue just looks cooler than desert yellow.

FF would hopefully be remedied by them changing friendly names to be green as opposed to the white/nothing above their heads atm.

You're not thrilled with anything are you? Just from your general forum posts, I would wager that the world's hottest women could strip naked in front of you and you would probably say something like, eh your left nipple is too small not touchin that.

Yeah, all the camos look like ass imo. I won't be using them.

I've seen a few good ones so far, but personally I'm probably mostly sticking to NC colors or then camo applied only cery cautiously. I like to represent color

Not too worried about friendly fire as the result of camo. All the empires vehicles and soldier models have very distinct silhouettes. One thing I find weird is how a camo pattern completely embellishes your factions primary colors. I think the camo pattern should still have the majority of your empires primary colors, instead of just being swamped with green camouflage.

And if the tank headlights is an option people will eventually turn it off, too easy to spot from the air.

*sigh* dude. Just say, "I like the camo and disagree with you." Wouldn't that have been easier?

Hopefully the paid camos will be better. The default ones suck.

Everyone wants to be a special little snowflake.

The only changes you should be able to your armor look is squad decals.

How can standard camo's "suck"?

OP:

Faction pride/faction colours?

See how the classical TR colour remains? Yeah. If you can't spot an NC from an TR by this... well, it's not the camos fault.

Friendlies have tags over their avatar. Enemies do not. Shoot people without tags hovering above them.

Meh.. If you don't like them, don't use them. The crazy camo patterns are there because some people will like them and will want to buy them. It'd be pretty dumb of SOE not to have them, when it's stuff like that they'll be making money off of. Even if most don't like them, it's hardly a deal breaker for you.... so suck it up and deal with it.

Yes, this will be crucial to gameplay at certain points, however the nights get REALLY dark in PS2 and you wont be seeing much without the headlight. Doesnt even have to be pitch black to miss that rock in front of you and crash into it without the headlights.

I have a problem with all MMO's. Like in WOW It would have been cool to join an all Gnome guild. It would have been cool to go into a battleground with a bunch of Gnomes vs a bunch of Undead. But oh well, everyone has to be a special little snowflake.

It ruins immersion.

Beta board. So, devs will be aware of it eventually.
