**Warning, this isn't going to be perfect so I WANT TO HEAR SUGGESTIONS NOT PUT DOWNS** Thank you :3

So every player has this section in their inventory that has items (clothes mainly) that follow them across CERTAIN PvP servers. So what if there was an extra slot for putting on the "Identifier" (best I could come up with on the spot).

What does it do exactly?

Well it would show other players who have it equipped if they are are Bandits, Heroes or Neutrals. In turn, you can only see other players names in this color if you have the "Identifier" on, and they could only see your name in these colors if you have it on.

So does it decide whether you're a Red, Blue or Neutral player?

A red marker will tell others you have committed bandit acts. A blue marker will tell others you committed heroic acts. There are no markers for Neutral.

What are these markers and how do you get them?

You can only have one type of marker (red or blue) and it will only go up to five marks. If you have 5 red marks and keep living as a bandit, it will not stack. If you have 5 red marks and you do something heroic, you'll have 4 red marks.

Gaining Red Markers

• Killing on Sight
• Destruction of Structures not placed by you or your squad
• Killing a player with weapon ready to fire/throw/swing
• Inviting players to your squad and killing them
• Blowing up vehicles
• Killing Heroes or Neutrals
• (Open to more suggestions)

Gaining Blue Markers

• Building 5 Structures (1 Marker)
• Killing a Bandit with weapon rested at first.
• Inviting players to your squad
• Driving 5 miles with a squad mate (1 Marker)
• (Open to more suggestions)

Well then don't wear the item. You won't have labels above your head and you won't see labels above other players' heads.

 

See, I thought about that, then I thought how many times heroes would die from that. Imagine if you were had enough ammo to take down 3 bandits and came across one that had a shotgun. 1-2 shots, you're dead. It takes about 1 second (long time in a fight) to ready your weapon and fire. Here's how it would formulate in my head:

Get shot + Ready weapon + Fire - Chances of survival (35%)

See Bandit + Ready Weapon + Fire - Chances of survival (Unseen 87% Face to Face 45%)

I don't see heroes as a defensive fighter, more of an enforcer or righteous slayer.

 

I only say heroes because "good guys" is too generic.

And I like the cosmetic idea a lot, as well as the tied to certain servers. I think I'll edit that in.

 

You may not be able to tell when someone is going to turn on you, but not everyone is as blind. Sorry mate.

Also, I was taking Zimuus' idea and adding that it should be a certain servers for those who want to try new things.
