Those new team colors sure are confusing.
I enjoy having new emblems and helmet options, but those colors sure are confusing. Before it was just red vs blue but now its black, yellow, white, and don't get me started when they are covered in fire or oil.

This makes teams a bit harder to tell the difference with to say the least.

If I had to make constructive criticism it would be to restrict color change on clothes but keep styles changes, emblems and shields the way they are currently

I agree. As much as i like this customization, i'll leave it to free for all and duel server.

i am heading to play now,but you guys are scaring me. Being Agatha with alot of damage was already dangerous near noobs and usually certain TK death.

There should be a HUD symbol for each team

While I don't think that is the best idea, at least we can all reliable wear our veteran helmets now.

I didnt find it that bad. Instead of remembering 2 colors you ahve to remember 6. Most stoners can probably even get used to that. But it is still too hard to tell who someone is and the distance the colored name appears is far too short.

Well, this is not looking good... I was hoping at least some good with the customisation, but all I see now are complaints about how confusing it is and how TKs are more frequent. I shall wait even more longer before plyaiong this game again.

I really enjoy what they did with this update and I love emblems, but this confusion is pretty bad when in combat

Not confusing at all. Masons are brown, black, red, Agatha are blue, white, gold. Simple as that.

When bloodied, brown and gold can be mistaken, dark blue and black may be as well. When electing not to wear helmets, these colors make distinction even harder. Silhouette becomes a lot more important than color, but without helmets its kind of gloves off.

I actually love the fact that people can so easily mix up teammates. I want two people in the heat of battle to fight without realizing they are on the same team. You think medieval combat was anything other than absolute chaos?

Seriously? There's two shades of red, black, and brown on Masons, and two shades of blue, gold (quite bright, I might add) and white on Agathans. Wow, that's really freaking hard to tell apart, you guys. Completely opposite colours.

To be honest, it's not just the colors that cause the problem, it's the lighting that goes along with it. When things get too dark like in the volcano level the colors tend to look alike.

Just as it was in Ye`olde days of battle and lamentations. There was plenty of "TK's" surviving the Fog-of-War. Plus a lot of "Individual" Knights and Noblemen wore their specialized Crests and coat-of-arms on their helmet shield and surcoat over their armour denoting the "House" (family lineage) they came from.

They may have only displayed a special colored and shaped Mantaling attached to the crest or their helm to keep from getting hit by freindly archer and javlin fire and the occasional delirious foot soldier.
