/signed for NPC to have special color text

Voted yes because I want NPC to have their special text so they will be easy to look for them, not striking yellow/green text please. But don't know how will one know what theyve type if they have local turn off?

While we are on the topic of the Mad King, might I suggest giving The Festival NPC a larger/wider perimeter, bubble in relation to how close a player can get to it, so that idiots will not be able to hog them in the up coming Wintersday Event.

Indeed. It's not needed for local chat when this is already there clear as day. I never even look at local chat on the rare occassion i'm there for an event. It's just so much easier to look at the text box.

Actually, isn't it typically in team chat?

I was kind of surprised when I turned off local and couldn't see what the King was saying. I think they messed up this year, because I swear most events are usually in team chat.

Allied NPCs usually appear in party chat with light blue or dark blue color names.
Neutral NPCs and enemies may appear in with the local chat pale gold names.

Although, It's not a very constant rule, sometimes the opposite happens.

There is already a dialog panel that appears when he talks.
Of course, if you hide the dialog panel, you won't see it.

I also moved the dialog panels to the middle of the screen, so I can hide the Local chat without problems.

Mad King Thorn's dialogue was in Mission Goals. If you have that turned off for whatever reason, you can only see what he says in local.

All of these people saying "OMG it's in a huge box how could you miss it" are completely missing the idea of options. You know you can turn off different options, right? How would you ever know that the Mad King is speaking in Mission Goals if you have that option turned off? For that matter, why is Mad King Thorn's text in Mission Goals, anyway? It's not a mission, it's just dialogue.

Several Canthan events have the text in Team Chat, which works just fine.

The popup dialog boxes were always enough for me, but I'd like this change simply because it feels just wrong when such a special and important NPC's text gets mixed with all the local spam with absolutely no distinction.

You can already see what he says in the text boxes above his head.

The text box above his head is more of a pain to read than in local. As for the dialogue box read above quote.
