    I've noticed while playing, sometimes new players probably get confused when they hit tab and see [Helper] and [Donor] (They will be right next to each other in tab if you haven't noticed.) Here's a screenshot to show you. :)

    as you can see, those are very similar colors, while I am not even sure this suggestion is allowed, something could be done about this. I saw nothing against the rules about rank colors lol. anyways I think it should be something like [Helper] (sorry about the bad color, I can do a better representation in game, to do it do &2[&aHelper&2] or &8[&2Helper&8] ) well, thanks for reading! :>

    (3rd one is if you want to keep it blue but at the same time look different.) :D

    I do not think this is much of an issue

    RedstoneTrails defeating me again!! :hilarious:

    We did try and experiment with new helper colours at one point but all the nice combinations are pretty much gone and we didn’t want to mess around with all of the rank’s colours. The one you suggested is the colour of Skyknight, for example

    As 52 said, different colours have been experimented with before - yellow was played with, but it was agreed that the blue was fine and was easily matchable with a forums colour. Also, staff are already this colour green in the hubs.

    I don’t think it matters too much - due to space and character limit the word helper is a singular colour which in itself differentiates from donor. There are other ways around this too - searching for online staff using /who or /list, or alternately just asking whether there’s any staff online in chat.

    For that reason, no support.

    Helper ranks carry over through servers, and on economy the highest rank is Highroller which is yellow which would arise the same problem we have here on skyblock too :3

    For the suggestion, I see the point, but simply asking for staff or looking closer at the tags would yield the result of if the helper is online or not. Basically all the points stated by Blyx c:

    visual concept, not much differentiation. I do think all staffing positions should be first person anyone in the shift tab if thats possible. grouped away from everyone.

    Generally there aren’t many donor 400s on unless there’s a drop party. Players just need to read a little more carefully and they will have no issue.

    Skyking is yellow
    Ye I remember experimenting with the colors of the helper tag. Unfortunately we couldn't find a suitable new color that is different from any of the existing ranks colors.

    New suggestion make the helper tag black to make people eyes bleed :t
    Light gray might kinda work but not sure

    The grey could work, but the blue is what the thread is trying to move away from & the yellow is highroller on Economy.

    Actually, green would sort of work as Skyknight/Premium is never near the top left of tab.

    To be honest,

    It’s not really really a big issue and as 52 said, they’ve tried. I agree it’s kinda hard to see the difference. I’m neutral. Leaning towards support. Lol, I’m noticing how Smods and Devs are higher than Noobcrew.

    It's not overly necessary. Most Donor400's in chat have different coloured prefixes in chat anyway, you just have to look a little closer in tab for helpers. All staff ranks are the first on tab anyway, so you just have to look underneath the other staff ranks for helpers.
