There’s been a lot of complaining about how little content there has been for PVP-centric gameplay in New World since launch. I get that it’s hard creating a new OPR, it needs to be excessively balance tested, make sure one team cant get to mid faster than the other, bla bla bla. Ok, guess we’ll wait…
BUT…how about raising the gameplay by adding some (hopefully simple) UI changes.

Currently we have tiny, tiny little markers for the people in your team. The entire NW community has resorted to hacking the speaker icons to be on, wearing bright coloured shields on their back and god knows what else. In 2022 I would think it wouldn’t be that hard to simply give us a menu option to scale those little coloured diamonds WAY UP. Let me make them at least as big as the speaker icon. You have the code for the icons already in place, just a tiny slider to make them super visible would help so much in coordinating a team.

How about an option to turn off names of people NOT in my party (during war mainly). All I care about is if they’re on my team, and seeing everyone is either blue or red, easy. With that, you wouldn’t need to implement option 1 above.

Ok, getting crazy now. Many years ago in ESO we could put a beam or crown on a person of our choosing. This was client side and you simply dedicated one of your team members as leader and BOOM - you can clearly see them a mile away. Tactical movement would be far improved.

Heartrune status next to group member names (empty, charging still, full). I know, probs too much work for how many people would appreciate that. Actually, don’t worry, let’s just focus on point 1.
So, if one of those clever devs has maybe 2 hours to spare, I mean, we could chip in and hire you out-of-hours, maybe on a saturday to just code up number 1 - I would gladly donate to that fund. I know you’re working really hard on stuff the bosses say, but maybe we keep this on the down-low and just put something cool in the pvpers might like. 
Just a little ui slider for team icons - I’m getting old and with all these swinging greatswords and ice storms I can’t see anyone.
Many thanks!
