GW2 site has posted the news about the new feature pack arriving Sept 9th with teasers to be released up until then to build hype about the changes. One of the upcoming teasers is 'Command the Rainbow'. So the question is did they hear all the forum chat about allowing for different color commander tags to be out there to help organize the fights? If they made it wide open it allows players to create systems ranging from simply grabbing your favorite color to people setting their own standards, blue for warband leading, green for havoc, white for guild, red for defense warband and so fourth. Food for thought.

Oh and nice btw, I had missed that Zam release before. Point still being, curious what others thoughts on how they might use multiple color tags, course if they only give us 4 that might restrict things a bit. Not to mention the color blind with all the same shape.

My understanding is that most color-blindness is red-green colorblind, so the omission of green should help.

I am colorblind, however it should not be an issue. Those with colorblindness usually see colors, it is just the shades of said colors that a person has issues with. I know of no one that can only see in grays. If they kept this to primary colors or even primary with one set of secondary colors plus white and/or black this should not be an issue. Once we know exactly what colors are available we as a community will have to come up with what they should mean to us, and we should be posting that all over the place. I think a Main Tag, Guild Tag, Havoc Tag(s) and maybe a locational tag to show people where you are(meaning you are not leading) would be nice. I would especially like to have a tag for when leading my guild... I have no issue with others following when I do this, but usually when I lead my guild I am trying to expose them to WvW and my main goals are a little different then when I lead the entire map.

Ok, ouch.

So if they do go with 300 gold per color, doing some general coordination of colors might save some people gold. I was thinking along the same lines as Mistress Collisto. Granted might be less of these out there at 300 a pop.

It sounds like it's 300g per account all colors unlocked. Old tags will be upgraded. If you purchased more than 3 tags, you will be refunded for your 4th...Nth tag.

Actually, it sounds like you have to purchase each color individually.

I'd love manly magenta, but I'm not paying another 300g for it.

I hope green will be a possible colour too, or orange, though I'll never have enough gold for that, hehe (and I don't actually see myself ever using a commander tag)

Karaoke,
You mean you don't have 300g sitting in your account? I'm shocked! SHOCKED I say!
I'm actually considering adding another dungeon path to my daily routine so I have enough for at least 1 color when it comes out.
We need to set these colors to mean things on a general server basis:
Main tag
Small Group
Guild Event
Obscenely Rich

I have 315g and a burning desire to get Bolt. So... rot in hell, colored commander tags.

Using one of the colors as a scout tag might be well worth the thought... But that would be more for the dedicated players... I will have all colors upon release, let me know if you want me to show them off. ;)

They listened to feedback, all colors will be unlocked for all of us who have a tag already, and it's a one-time 300g purchase for everyone else.
I'll start up a new thread where we can brainstorm on unofficial colors to represent various things.
