What area of New Blood are you suggesting this for?

Map Build

What is your suggestion and how will it work?
I'd like to see the 'builder' ranks on Map Build (Builder, Engineer, Architect and Innovator) get different colours. There are so many custom colours added on NB yet so many of them are not even used for these ranks.

What are the advantages of your suggestion?
Getting a new rank would feel just a little bit more accomplishing with this minor little change and would make the ranks stand out a bit more.
Staff ranks already have different colours to differentiate them, why not the other ranks?

What are the disadvantages of your suggestion?

I don't see any disadvantages with this minor little visual change.

If not, would we introduce new colours? Maybe a gradient of sorts?

Hi Toby,

Thanks for your response. Honestly, I don't really mind which colours are used. There are about 18 custom colors, 7 of which are used for the ranks that do have a colour other than white (for example Respected, OnLeave, Moderator, all the way up to and including Administrator). That means there are 11 custom colors that are not used that could be used for the regular building ranks.

Rather than me giving suggestions on which color would fit a certain rank I think it'd be a better idea if staff could ask the community for feedback on this. Maybe the rank colors could be discussed in Discord or something? Since it's such a small change, I don't think it would take too long.

Hi Bruce, thanks for the suggestion. We'd like to reserve rank colours for staff to differentiate them from players, however Engineer+ have the ability to purchase a coloured nickname, so colours aren't entirely out of reach for players! The nickname perk is also an incentive for players to work towards Engineer. We'll therefore be keeping the player rank colours as white.
