Party leader text should have a unique blue color in team chat...

It's about making it easy to see leader commands in battle...

Also would be helpful to allow the leader to rearrange the party list directly within the party list...

Pretty sad if you cant move your eyes a couple of centimeters to look who's leader.

See above post for reasons.

Its lame because were not agreeing with the suggestion, or its lame that people need to see diff colours other then looking at party list?

Uh, if you have some jerk drawing circles all over the map, it kinda writes over the important stuff the party leader is drawing. If the party leader were a designated color, other than everyone drawing in white, you'd still be able to see the party leader's drawings through the jerk's interference. Handy for when you decide not to rez the wandering whammo and he decides to ruin the map for the rest of the mission to try and make you start over.

/signed to make party leader's map drawings a unique color

Party leader and leader or not always synonomous. The party leader my be good at getting the group together, ended up being leader by chance, or whatever, but there may be a party member who does the calling.

Ok, the stated suggestion was for text color in team chat. The OP did not mention, nor even elude to doing anything with the minimap.

It may be lame, which was part of my /notsigned. It is also not needed. If the group you're in needs to have the party leader's text be a different color so they can do it, odds are they're not going to do what he's saying anyway. It's really not that hard to figure out who the party leader is.

In addition, this would give all those 12-year old kids who make PUGs a gigantic ego boost, they could then claim how "1337" they are because they have special text, and this would likely give them insentive to spam in team chat...

CorstedPirate · May 29, 2006, 07:49 AM // 07:49

It truely is not needed. If the groups dont pay attention now, why would they just because the "leader" has a different color text.

It would be nice if we all got our own color to draw on the map with though. We can assign a numerical value to each person based on where there are on the list(makes healing easier). It should be pretty simple for anet to make each numerical value have a certain color when drawing on the minimap. It isn't really needed, but it would be very nice to be able to tell just who is drawing on the map.

EDIT: The values are already there in PvP. There is a number next to everyones name based on their position in the group, 1-8.

/notsigned.

For everyone who did the /notsigned, I agree with you all. (yes i did read!!)

Just use the other channels based on what your role is.

Leader on Team
Healers on Trade
Caller on All

Or whatever you want.

Making it easier to recognize the leaders communications is a good thing. It'll make the good leaders better. Hopefully it'll make the bad leaders more evident, too.

A party leader is necessarily the most qualified to run the mission, and even then, its about working together, not taking commands just because he invited sumbody first.

TsunamiZ · Jun 29, 2006, 06:54 AM // 06:54

its about making leader text easier to locate in battle...

Many times in my groups the one that put the team together isnt the one that is actually leading the group.

Deja Vu?

Anyway, /signed. It's a simple thing, stupid to some, but I think it would be a good addition. I say along with that addition, have it possible to 'relieve' your leader role to another teammate at any time. Also, this blue text needs to not be visible in towns/outposts. Would get annoying.

This and the other thing I mention would actually make the leader role more important and mean something other than just getting together a team. Makes sense to me in a team-oriented game.
