Seriously, this has to be the dumbest visual change in the game. Enemies look like allies (especially if youre dominion, as the new offwhite looks almost yellow)

Put back the red/blue/yellow Rank icon colors, the shield isnt enough of a differentiation, especially when it bugs out and disappears.

    This was reported as a bug on the PTS. Why did it transfer over onto live at all? I tried PvPing and I had a very difficult time differentiating players, especially when defending the inner keeps...

    You're back?!

    It only took them 5 months to fix the purge bug, so maybe another 5 for this fix?

    @Psilent Not back in game yet, 8-10 days, get my tax return in 2, then it's a matter of when my new desktop arrives.. I have three things keeping me entertained, computer, dog, wife. Though the third thing is less of an entertainment and more of a.... Pleasure Cruise :wink:

    @ZoS, that's one of the silliest changes I've ever seen. Yesterday I had to run around for hours in Cyrodiil like a blind person, because I got the bug where you can't see enemy HP bars and no amount of restarting, deleting settings or disabling addons could fix it . Don't you realise that colors are an important visual clue for situational awareness, even without a blinding bug? If you can produce such bugs, then please, gives us at least those rank colors back. Immediately!

    We told them about this 2 weeks into the PTS, we explained exactly why it was silly, but they pushed it anyway.

    They are literally choosing negligible aesthetics over functionality and playability.

    I am of the firm opinion that subtracting "raging stupidity" from anyone's voice can only cause them to sound more like myself.

    Remember when they used to change sound effects randomly with no particular reason? (zoom in-out map, wall repair "item not ready", etc)? They are back! This time at the visual effect department! huehuehue

    At first I thought I was going colorblind, but when I realized everyone was seeing these absurd yellow-ish white names and alliance ranks I was beyond disappointed. What a stupid change or ridiculous oversight of a bug, if indeed it is that.

    Utterly brain-dead design decision. Do they even play their own game?

    This is a PvP issue and as such is on the same level of importance to ZOS as solid QA.

    This is rhetorical, right?

    Apart from the crashes and lag which are somehow worse in 1.6 than in 1.5, this bug and its neighbor involving the missing group indicators and enemy shields above player heads, are the ones that ZOS needs to address immediately as they render PVP unplayable and unenjoyable. Even more disheartening is that it looks like we may have to endure these problems for at least four more days as ZOS seems to be in no rush to fix issues in 1.6.5.

    Agree. Was just about to make the same post. Please replace the dull, generic beige with the old color scheme that was vibrant and distinct. Not only was it more aesthetically pleasing the old way, but also identifying enemies in Cyrodiil should always trend toward easier.
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    It is obvious they do not play their own game. If they were active players then half the crap they let linger for months might see some actual improvement
    "it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor

    Yes, rhetorical.

    Also, when they fix the color badges please add guild tags to names. Yes we have five guilds -- just add a toggle for which to display.
