Guild Colors

[Fetchi]

Whilst in an abbot raid, a few of use were discussing the overwhelming Silver Flame blue color in Stormreach. We started kicking ideas around and thought it would be interesting if guilds could select different colors to represent and differentiate themselves.

Of course there would be some issues we would have to work out, such as:

> What if one guild had a color that another guild wanted?

> Would the color apply to every piece of equipment equipped?

> Could we have a badge or symbol on our Armor perhaps?

I'm sure you guys could think of other issues and/or suggestions. I'm concerned more with if it is of interest to the players to have something like this to differentiate your guild besides the floaty name above your head?

Furthermore, how hard (and time consuming) would this be for the development team?

Thank you.

My only suggestion is that Warforged should be able to paint the guild badge on their chest. ;P Otherwise, I would love to run around in my guild colors and with a badge or symbol.

> What if one guild had a color that another guild wanted?

I was thinking about this question another player had. It seems to me that you couldn't limit the colors a guild can have because there are too many guilds, and all the colors would get taken eventually. Moreover, you would have many guilds choosing black and red or other more popular combos.

I think allowing a guild at least a 3-color choice would help keep things differentiated, as well as an extensive color palette to choose from. So even if a guild had the same colors, maybe they would at least be different shades or something.

I think not allowing a guild to choose a particular color because another guild had it would not be fair.

Just my thoughts.

And with real full crafting in place we would be able to dye are armor and shields and even put designs on them if we wanted.......

This is certainly something I've been pushing for since launch, as well as many others.

Yes well, Turbine decided to give all that to LOTRO instead. We got the wonderful, craptastic lottery system for our "crafting". Fun?

P.S. Here is a link to my vision of crafting and magical crafting if was to be added to DDO at some point. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=180944

I am still working on it but I doubt Turbine even took one glance at it.

JOE: Okay, let me introduce everybody to everybody. But once again, at the risk of being redundant, if I even think I hear somebody telling or referring to somebody by their Christian name... you won't want to be you. Okay, quickly. Mr. Brown, Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, Mr. Blue, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Pink.
MR. PINK: Why am I Mr. Pink?

JOE: Cause you're a f_____.

MR. PINK: Why can't we pick out our own colors?

JOE: I tried that once, it don't work. You get four guys fighting over who's gonna be Mr. Black. Since nobody knows anybody else, nobody wants to back down. So forget it, I pick. Be thankful you're not Mr. Yellow.

MR. BROWN: Yeah, but Mr. Brown? That's too close to Mr. S___.

MR. PINK: Yeah, Mr. Pink sounds like Mr. P____. Tell you what, let me be Mr. Purple. That sounds good to me, I'm Mr. Purple.

JOE: You're not Mr. Purple, somebody from another job's Mr. Purple. You're Mr. Pink.

MR. WHITE: Who cares what your name is? Who cares if you're Mr. Pink, Mr. Purple, Mr. P_____...

MR. PINK: Oh that's really easy for you to say, you're Mr. White. You gotta cool-sounding name. So tell me, Mr. White, if you think "Mr. Pink" is no big deal, you wanna trade?

JOE: Nobody's trading with anybody! Look, this ain't a g_______ f_____ city counsel meeting! Listen up Mr. Pink. We got two ways here, my way or the highway. And you can go down either of 'em. So what's it gonna be, Mr. Pink?

MR. PINK: Jesus Christ, Joe. F_____ forget it. This is beneath me. I'm Mr. Pink, let's move on
