Request, separate color heal bubbles finor own party in alliance

As of the moment, it is possible to set different character name visibility to your own party members vs other parties in the alliance. Since mass heals of any kind only affect to your own party that is helpful in judging where your party members are and if AoE healing would be reasonable or not. While it is also possible to set different visibility to particle effects in party or outside of it, the problem here is that everyone in the alliance is counted as your party.

While the old adage "heal bubble, stand in it" is true, in some cases it's hard to judge which of the heal bubbles you should head into if they are separate of each other. It'd also make it easier to see it at glance if your co heal already popped a heal bubble in cases where the other one would just be a waste.

I request an option where only your own actual party heal bubble would be the color as it is now, and the other party heal bubbles in alliance would show in another hue (maybe green, as all jobs now have bluish effect), or in far darker color. (Or both) The color in itself doesn't matter as much, just make them easily separable.

I like this idea.

It also makes me wonder if Black Mages would like an option to differentiate their leylines from everyone else's. (Which would kill my personal amusement of a confused army of BLM with leylines for days dropped and everyone trying to figure out which is their's, but it'll be a worthwhile change. ^_^)

I was going to suggest a solution to that would be to just drop them all in one place but then I realized that would just attract aoe for days...

Maybe they could just make the healing bubbles, Shadow Flares, Leylines and so on of alliance members more transparent than the ones of your own party. It's still useful to see if and where others placed these spells but if they were too colorful it would be distracting.

More transparency on same brightness would be hard to differentiate, that is why part of my suggestion was darker color. In half transparent thingsit would also lead to less visibility making the ones you don't need to concern as much be more muted, while still visible.

I also wouldn't extend this to effects where it doesn't matter who cast it. Shadow flares and other AoE damage still makes damage regardless which party it belongs to. Leylines though I agree, being able to tell which is your own would be valuable.

Transparency was just an idea I thought would be easier on the eyes than having them a different color. If they suddenly were bright yellow or green it would be to colorful. Darker sounds good though.

It wouldn't be too important for Shadow Flare or Flaming Arrow or so, but I personally think it would still be nice if you could have the effects of other alliance members' spells visible, but not as much as now. I don't want to turn them off completely though. So if they would change how healing bubbles of others look like, they could change those as well. But healing bubbles and Leylines are more important of course!
