d4verman Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 How do you change the colors your name appears in over your head? My title is so dark I can barely see it. I've seen others where the colors are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastit Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Title colour can be changed at trainers, when you change your title. The UI for doing wasn't very good last time I worked with it, though. It's hard to consistently get a particular colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-Six Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 You can change your Title colour that way, not your name colour. For name colour, you can switch between Blue, Yellow or Purple IIRC if you choose None, Help Me or Helper respectively... or something like that. Gold names are contest winners.

DoctorDitko Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Isn't pink an RP warning sign? I don't know how to set it, though, I prefer stealth RP.

d4verman Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 It didn't change anything for me. I must be doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For titles, you can tinker with the sliders, using the preview box while you do it. Edited July 26, 2020 by cranebump I have done a TON of AE work, both long form and single arc.

ImpousVileTerror Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Here are some samples of the name colours: Regular (Blue) This is default. Team (Green) When you are a member of a Team, this will be the colour for your name. Help Me! (Purple) Going in to the "Help" menu and selecting the "Help Me!" Option from there. Helper (Yellow) Going in to the "Help" menu and selecting the "Helper" Option from there. Roleplaying (Pink) Typing the command "/roleplaying" or going in to the "Help" menu and selecting the "Roleplaying" Option from there. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crater Kate Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) I think what they're asking is "how likely is someone to follow up on your tag." ie, if you're tagged Helper, how often will people ask you for help. If you're tagged Help Me!, how often will people offer to help. That kind of thing. My experience has been a medium amount, I guess? But in my experience the tags don't encourage that much unsolicited interaction. They're more about letting other people know what kind of player you are. For instance, most of my characters' default labels are Helper at this point. I'm not an encyclopedia on this game by any means, but I'm happy to do what I can where I can for people. I see it as more of a welcome mat on my front porch. People don't really come to me out of the blue, but I do it so people know I am available, I'll be engaged in the Help channel, and so on. Similarly, I don't see players with the Help Me! tag as necessarily wanting someone to DM them "what do you need help with?", but instead I just treat them as new players. If I'm teaming with them, I'll explain things a little more carefully to them, I'm more likely to keep an eye on them and hang back to support them if they're struggling, and so on. If someone's rocking RP, I'll be more likely to engage in some walk-up, I'll be more willing to be in character in missions, etc. It's less about what are people going to do, but more how people are going to think of you. If, @WanderingAries, you're asking because you want a different color on your name but don't really want the association of the tag - I'd say you can go for it. It's not like there's any rules on how you have to behave with various tags. You should be ready for people treating you a bit differently depending on which tag you have up - in particular Roleplaying might get you the occasional walk-up, and you might get a raised eyebrow or two if you have Helper but don't want to help very much, but I really don't think anyone will call you out on it. And IMO just saying to someone who asks, "I have this tag because I like the color" is a perfectly valid explanation.
