GoA Enhancements

[PatsoeGamer]

I've made this suggestion because of reading Woundedeagles post on the GoA's
http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...ans-of-Alterra

In that thread I mentioned 'I wondered if new players actually knew what a GoA shield meant, I bet 9/10 new players will simply ask 'What shield is that?' instead of 'cool shield, as a GoA can you help me?'

I want to enhance the GoA experience. I want to make it more clear. I want to give a good first impression of the game to new players.

Right now, we have several GoA's but I believe more can be done to improve the GoA experience as percieved by new players.

First idea, would be to create a new tip screen: 'Need help? Look out for a Guardian of Alterra (GOA) who carries a shield' (including a pic of the shield)

Secondly, I think when a player equips the GoA shield, their name colour should change, I'm even thinking either the same colour as the devs (red) or a different colour. I believe this would make them stand out even more. Players who are new may then ask 'Are you a dev?' But GoA's would be trusted and would reply with, 'No I'm a GoA - can I help you?'

Thirdly, I was thinking of two more enhancements. When equipped, player name changes colour. And/or both of the below instances happen:

1. At the end of your name which hovers above your player, i.e 'Woundedeagle' the extra words display ' - Ask me for help' so it the name above the player would be 'Woundedeagle - ask me for help'
2. If you tap on the player, on the view player screen you would see a small band along the base of the player screen 'Proud Guardian of Alterra - here to help you' and if you tap it, you would then see a new screen with a page of useful information which could be read about who GoA's are and what they do'

This is just a few simple ideas, I would be so sadto see the GoA be written off, please dont do it STS. Everyone please feel free to suggest anything else I might have missed
