    I am making this thread just to address the new chat. As some people may or may not know, the chat was changed to grey for non-donators and white for donators. I am all for brawl giving perks to their donators, but the grey chat really doesn't look that great ( in my opinion). Unfortunately most players aren't donators and will have to suffer the wrath of the grey chat color. I think developers should change the non-donator text to another color. I am bringing this up because I have talked with a few other players and their thoughts have been similar to mine. Comments welcome.

    I see your point. I feel like non-donors don't get noticed as much because of the color, especially in-game!

    It's incentive to purchase a rank to support the server. War 2.0 was designed to be EULA compliant, and Brawl has to monetize it somehow.

    It's not about that. The contrast is ****ed up as ****. I have to literally strain my eyes to see what people are saying. There are better ways to distinguish donors from other players.

    I'd like the idea of making non-donors chat colors white and allowing donors to change their chat color a certain color. Example being someone with mvp can change their chat color to dark blue which would make them stand out

    I think the chat is fine where it is. If you don't like it you could always buy a rank :grinning:

    I agree with this, but ranked players should only be able to use the color in chat that is the same as their rank colour, we don't want to make a chaos in chat.

    I used to play on a prison server that sold chat colors. Players bought them all the time. It was almost as popular as the ranks

    There are ways to make the chat donor compatible without making it an eyesore.

    Gray is so hard to read also and white is just easier on the eyes anyways... I don't know why Brawl would change it like that..

    Agreed, gray text just looks weird. Even though I have a donor rank and can speak in white, the majority of people don't buy ranks so chat looks a lot uglier. This really isn't a great incentive to get people to donate, we can come up with better ideas than this.

    Greys not a very bright color imo, But like MunchyMc maybe come out with tags that have rainbow colors (tags not the chat) etc...

    Don't know if it relates to the topic but oke.

    How do you consider a chat feed ugly?

    The colour scheme just looks really bad, imo.

    I agree. Maybe give donators a different chat colour depending on their rank, and normal people white.
