- Reason
- This will help battleground 'leaders' because it helps them view the board from other guild's perspectives by training their brain away from solely focusing on the white sectors
- Details
-
A setting, called something like "View your own guild's sectors as white" that defaults to on/checkmarked
If not checkmarked, then instead of white, you would see color the other guilds see you as based on your HQ location

- Summary
- Please provide a checkbox that when checked, which is the default, causes your own sectors in GBG to appear white as they currently do. When unchecked, however, they would appear in the colour that other guilds see you as, for example on the screenshot my guild's sectors would become orange.
- Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?
- Yes
In competitive battlegrounds as a leader/commander, a lot of time is spent learning looking at the timers around your sectors and the path you're following, and building a mental model of the map and timers. Because of how much time is spent getting good at this, it becomes difficult to see the board from the other guild's perspective because your brain gets trained to view white sectors a certain way, and it gets hard to flip that to analyze another guild's path when you're working to block them. If a setting were available that would make your own sectors and flags appear as other guilds would see them, it would be a lot easier. Personally I've overcome this years ago and can imagine the board from each of our competitor's perspectives, but having the ability to see your own true colour would greatly lower the required brainpower and thought necessary for this for new people and lower the training time needed for new battleground leaders/commanders.
One consideration if this is approved..
If it's too hard to turn on/off, like, if you agree it should be under settings, people may accidentally turn it on and then get confused and not know where to turn it back off, whereas if it's on the GBG map similar to the toggle that shows the sector names and building counts, it would be accessible.
I think the best place is under settings, but if you fear people would turn it on (off) by accident and not know how to get it back to how they like it, then make it as accessible as the simple/detail view button.
