Another Easy Button, J/K, or Am I?

Raid leaders might appreciate this, you know that little right click thing you can do to assign teams Red team, Blue team; why not add two or three more colors, and then heres the funny part, make it work in a raid instance instead of running around outside so people can just click and say red go there, blue go there, yellow over there, and green over here?

Might make it a little easier for people to look and say, "Hey, I'm not with my team!" or "Oh look that red bar is dropping really fast, I should throw him a heal <xxxx is out of range> (then theres a ding to the left), darnit man, sorry you got whacked I was trying to heal x name here, forgot he wasn't close to us."

Anyway, just a thought.

Not a bad idea.

and maybe we could have colored flags above our heads .. which starts to light when we are under 50% HP...

We are already miles away from any kind of challange or PnP like atmosphere.. Dont take us light years away with Red team! Blue team! Morph!

I like old school Interfaces and stuff

great idea.

but tbh i think the thought of "in pnp we didnt have this!" is going to kill a progressive invention once more.

It would turn into 1:21 of this video:

I just realized that they're zerging a bit there.

This idea would be useful in certain situations - especially if they end up creating more split-party raids.

ya cause this game is so pnp *raspberry*

i like this idea for implementing situations where you need seperate the party, especially from a healer point of view.

Take Evon 6 for example. 3 different teams usually, i have to keep track of the people i'm healing by memorizing their names and remembering where they are in party position (ie their red bar in relation to others), Then i need to not get distracted by other red bars going down around them.

This game is years behind most others in ui functionality. The excuse "pnp didn't have it" is a joke. pnp also didn't have 3d characters, real time battle and so much other things. this game is about as much pnp as i am an ultimate fighter :P.

pnp also didn't have 3d characters

Have you never used miniatures in your PnP gaming? How did you play 3.0/3.5 without them?
