Question for those who made it to lvl 10 PVP Cyrodil

Post » Sun Feb 16, 2014 7:16 pm

OK, my friends and I never quite made it to level 10 last beta weekend, so I've gotta ask:

When PvP-ing, how the heck can you tell the difference between the guys on YOUR side / alliance and your enemies? I watched some keep-take video the other day and I couldn't tell. Given that if you buy the advance order editions, you'll get to play ANY race when in ANY alliance (which is a [censored] lore-breaker, IMHO), one apparently can't just make a quick assessment based on race.

i was hoping they'd use something color-coded to help us tell the three alliances apart. Heck, my friends and I were discussing how ineffective the group member "arrows" are in helping you keep track of where your group-mates just went. (Terrain seemed to hide them a lot, plus, it would have been nice if each friend had been a different color. But I know, they're trying to maximize immersion.)

Thanks!

There are red/blue/yellow badges above the head of people from different alliances. Collor based on alliance of course. It's very simple. 2 Beta's ago I recall that not being in, and I had a hard to as well with differentiating friend from foe. But now that they have added this, it doesn't make me have any more problems.

It's still kinda hard to see the little badge, and I would often just fire a shot at them to be sure. If I remember correctly the Health bar only shows on enemies at default so that's one way to separate friend from foe.
