It occured to me that to see which friendly players are flagged I have to select them every time, so this ide came up. Why not make thier names a different color? Lets say darker blue or brown.

Well in pvp most of the time i wouldnt have time to hover every single name in the area whilst also being attacked by hostiles.

This should be a simple enough thing to do, and would allow you to check the pvp status of your side as well as the opposing side(s) at a glance.

Also i was thinking something slightly more visible than brown or dark blue leo, how about orange, also a small addition to your idea, maybe the colour flagging for friendlies shouldnt appear prior to flagging yourself.

Cant hurt to know who is flagged around you, even if it is your side.  I dont think they should block it so you only see them when your flagged yourself.  No more blue, you have light blue for team mate, medium blue for everyone else, deep blue for faction mates and royal blue for the Cyph tag, I think green could look pretty good, not because WoW's friendly flag is green >_>  Its just a color that hasn't been used on the name tags yet.... that or Pink SMILEY 

Orange is made with red and yellow, hostile and EPNs SMILEY

Err.. When a friendly player is flagged, their Org alignment is displayed.  Can you not just toggle /orgnames?

Yes but you won't know which friendlies are flagged and which aren't without the hovering thing...
I agree on green since it is used only for players and NPCs lower lvl than you ie pose no threat to you as the friendly flagged.

What I mean is; if you have /orgnames turned off, only flagged players have their tag displayed.  This enables you to see at a glance who is flagged and who is not.

That's what I do. However, if you want something added, my only thought would be to make that PvP symbol appear whether or not the cursor was over the player.

Or you can turn off the Org names, and then when a teammate flags, it says the Org name next to them.

And have it optional, personally I don't need to know that everybody on Vector is hostile, I've known that for 2 years.

Was his post stupid? Or was it stupid that you suggested something that was posted 3 times prior? It helps to read the thread and not just the OP's statement.

Good game son.

Naw i just have a dislike for swimming and his constant moaning when he doesnt like something or gets beat. and instead of trying to change something why doesnt he work with what he has and just change his game settings.

Good Game Son.
