TR control point color is green?....

That causes a lot of confusion when you're on tr fighting against nc. Attacking blue nodes and defending red ones is counterintuative to lots of gamers and caused a lot f problems in internal tests.

It's fine, it's good, no problem at all, don't complain about something like this.

Well, I don't see a problem with a little checkbox for a "faction color mode", for those of us that would prefer to see our faction color on the UI over green

I like how people disagree with data and what tests are showing.

This is something that has been tested and proven to work. Sure, a UI customization may be okay for vets to enable, but they looked into this and noticed it was a problem and fixed it.

Clegg's reason makes perfect sense.

Why force faction specific colored nodes???
Making it more friendly to outside people makes WAY more sense for the default setting. As long as they allow it to be one simple options menu UI adjustment away from being switched to faction colors on your own, what does it matter to you if other people see them as green?

[Resolve]

Honestly there should be no reason to see your own faction color instead of green.

I think the real solution to this is to give more visual cues as to what color/faction you're actually fighting for. While watching the live stream I didn't see any way to distinguish which side the players were on solely by looking at the HUD. Maybe if you added more red to the UI for TR, or even the faction symbols on the node points on the UI, it might solve this confusion for new players. Basically you want to beat it into new players heads that if you play TR, red is good. It seems as though there would be some sort of disconnect by seeing green=good on the HUD, yet red=good on the map.

Just wondering, did it persist or was the confusion short-lived? And is the map going to be colored the same way?

If you're playing as TR and dont know that your playing as TR you need to just plain stop playing.

Green is friendly. All other colors? Enemy. Simple.

Honestly wait for Beta. I'm not sure why people are confused by this...

Cheers....

Thats the thing, its not simple . Its about faction loyalty .

Its like logging on as NC and knowing green is good , blue and yellow is shit

Its like logging on as VS and being told green is good , purple stinks.

If you become TR , from the outset or very quickly at best they need to get it into their skull that if its not red, it should be dead.

The whole thing is like a big fuck you to the TR

What? I don't even think that warrants a good response. Universally green=good and red=enemy, it has absolutely nothing to do with the TR.

I actually thought everyone was still going on about the capture point colors. My bad.

Now, I can see how you would think that enemies being red is a "stab" against the TR. But while your playing will you honestly be thinking that?

Now I am NC. If all the enemies on my interface were displayed as blue by default I wouldn't be mad. I'd adjust and play the damn game. All the while i'm still loyal to my NC brothers.

Cheers,

what if you guys did like friend and enemy colors in other rts's and give us the option to make it red, blue, purple

Why don't you just make it customizable? You guys are doing a great job on making (almost) everything customizable so that people can see what they want on the screen, so why not this as well?

I think having the logo's would be far better for the capture points. Even if you had to increase the size ever so slightly

(imagine the ABC are above the logo's)
