<p>Please add color coding for the different groups in a raid in BG's. Its plain annoying to die, then have to spend excess time figuring out where the biggest part of your group is to go heal them or pick the one thats alive, head to them and the others all go in other directions when they rez when they are killed.  Healers being prime targets, we are often the first ones dead in a group when scouts are around unless a squishy summoner is around.</p><p>How hard would it be to add a different color for the different groups?</p><p>Is there a map mod that can be added to EQ2Map that can do that?</p><p>Edit: Durn spelling.</p>

<p>yes please... as a  healer it can be a pain to find the rest of your group in the x4 BG's</p>

<p>I really agree.  In zones like Smugglers, everyone will rush to take Center.  Yet once Center is decided and people break off, where do you go?  A rare group will have people using Group Chat and actually following it.  (As opposed to not chatting at all, ignore group chat, or posters in group chat not even following through with what they're saying.)  Most of the time, the roaming tower taking packs of 3-4 people are made up of individuals from various groups and can't even buff each other.</p><p>A simple answer would be to let us see our group member dots clearly on the BG maps.  Or if that's too hard, I'd love it if we could add some kind of leader map icon.  Certain people could volunteer themselves as map leaders which would show up as a different color on the map.  When people died, they would know that they should try to mass around the nearest map leader as a staging point.  For Smugglers, you could have multiple leaders.  The Center team would have one, the roaming mass gank squad would have one, and the quick moving flag packs of 3-4 people could also have leaders.  I think that Smugglers would be a heck of a lot more organized and potentially interesting if we could have something like this set up.</p>

<p>Different dot colors for group / not grouped would be the best thing ever.</p><p>Ever.</p>

Yeah, different dots for group members would be definitely nice for smugglers.

<p>This would be a pretty awesome feature for Smugglers.</p>

And for every member of the own group an icon on the map with a number corresponding to the F-button to target the player would be great. (And removing the small dots for group members, that changed the group or left the game would also be great)
