Change enemy colors when peaceful mode is enabled

Post by juliawtapp »

TL;DR
When playing in peaceful mode, perhaps enemies could show up as a more friendly color?

What?
When playing in peaceful mode, as enemies are no longer hostile, sometimes I find myself starled by their red color on the minimap, which immediately reads as "enemy" to me. I am not sure if this is possible or worth the team's time, but I would like it if I could make them show up as green or something to signify that they are instead friendly / neutral.

Additionally, as one can "draw aggro" from enemies while playing in peaceful mode, perhaps they could change from green to red when they become hostile on the minimap, though once again I am unsure if that is feasible.
Why?
I have a gut reaction to red dots on my map, assuming they are hostile (as that is usually what moving red dots on a minimap means in a game). Having them be green (and possibly become red when aggroed) would feel more "right" in peaceful mode, and prevent me from being startled by them.

Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestion :)
