EW General Suggestions

I know the listed updates Tim posted are priority but I feel like a few small things could be added along side them.

1) For death messages make it so instead of only being "killed by" it can also be "shot by", this makes it feel more complete and it was like this on EW v1.

2) Add old color scheme to donor ranks, Purple sage, gold king, etc. Why was this not readded? It was cool and it made chat easier to tell which rank everyone had. Also - the forums still have the same colors for our badges but they do not correspond in game.

3) Add a donor only 'class hall' where players can hang out and view/select every donor and point class they own in a long row separated by faction (Orcs, men, etc). One wall would be point classes and the opposite wall would be map specific donor classes (excluding the mage/ranger/and the other generic donor classes).

I think this is really cool and has many reasons to be implemented:


-Allows players to view every class armor stand without waiting through the map rotation

-Allows player to select the classes they own and look at the items in their inventory

-Allows players to see what classes they still need to buy in order to own all rather than waiting through every map

-Allows players to purchase classes no matter what map is happening

-Allows players to view the donor classes they BOUGHT without waiting for the map to come, for example if you just bought all the donor class packages just to even see them you need to wait for the map and try both teams but if the class hall was added you could just seem them in a row.

-Adds another donor perk/reason for people to buy a rank

Obviously if you don't own the class you can't select it but you can still see the armor stand.

I was picturing something like a skinny rectangle hallway with classes on the walls like this except donor/point classes. This would be accessible via teleportation from spawn near the spectator signs.

thoughts? and sorry for being so wordy about my 3rd suggestion, it's really simple just a room with all the classes except the free ones and generic donor ones because those can be viewed on every map.
 
1) Will add this, good suggestion.
2) I'm not a fan of this. It doesn't fit with our server's current color scheme and would need us to redo the chat entirely. Also, it would make the chat very messy, which in my opinion isn't great.
3) The problem with this is that we would need to make a very big hall (because of the massive amount of classes), and we would need to add the hall to every map. I also feel like it would distract people from the game and have a lot of people just sitting testing in that hall, instead of playing.

at the very least can you change chat from a disgusting yellow to a different colour? also can u make orcs red and men blue and other colors for dwarves (whole teams)?

with #3, is there any way then we can have testing events?

1) Maybe other death messages too, if possible "fireballed by" or "torched by" or "speared by", not sure how hard that is though.

2) This is quite unfortunate, and I'm aware of your views on the matter. Not sure what it'd take to convince you, (i.e: if a poll convincingly showed people were pro the idea, would your opinion change?). It seems that for many people, more colour coding makes the chat easier, not harder to read.

3) You could just have a sign in lobby that tps you to a class hall, no need to add it on every map.
 
Maybe have a setting in the commands that allows you to either have the current chat or colored chat (default would be current), idk how hard it is though
