I don't have an issue with certain crits being in color but I think it would have to be very reserved.

For example, severs the "Your arm is severed" I believe is in color, or was at some point. That would be ok to have in RED for example.

Other than that, IKs I could see being in color.. but I'd rather my combat not be a rainbow myself.

That was the exact idea I had in mind. I wouldnt want any more than say a cripple in color. I had thought severs as the limit but I was more thinking special crits rather then just the standard. IKS, severs and cripples are more or less what I had in mind. Maybe some of the very few crits that give stat bonuses or other bonuses.

Some people just like melodrama a little to much.

I think they, at least I, understood that EVERY crit would be coloured. So you'd have an assload of color every round. Feel free to mudmails me suggestions!

Especially when doing combat for XP, you get a *lot* of those each round.

Furthermore, if there is to be special colours, limit it to IKs... And no more than maybe two different ones. Muted colours, not garish ones is part of the darke feel... Not a rainbow.

A bit of color won't hurt.. If you don't want it at all you could just set up you client to strip it from your data stream. However I agree that we don't want to have a rainbow here either, i.e. I would not want something like this:

No, I couldn't.

Not to mention even if I could, I'd have to set it up to strip it from every single crit... Would be quite a job. If I could.

The point is being made into something it is not. There is not an entire page full of colors being suggested. A rainbow of colors is a total exaggeration of what is being suggested. I would not want a rainbow of colors in combat. There used to be more colors in combat. Chemoch used to do some crits that summoned devils and there were colors in that. I would not want a lot of colors in combat it would start looking obnoxious like some other muds I have played. What is being suggested is more of what made Darke Mud original. What is being suggested is that special crits recieving color like they always have.

Because somebody, I believe he's called "Rancid" started talking about colours in crits here. It was part of my response to said "Rancid" about severing crits and colour in crits. If you want to blame somebody for starting to talk about colour in crits in the wrong thread, start with said "Rancid" person?
