it annoys me a lot, and ive asked like 20 people from my guild, and they all agree on this.
the nametags in WvW are gigantic, and annoying.
it would be a great addition to implement an option
to show a compact version of “Serverserverserverserver Invader [Guild]”
in fact, the server isnt even really needed, since u can tell by the color of their armor.
but u could just make a short version of each server, like initials and such, and use that,
or just “red/green/blue invader”.
Or dont show nameplates on enemy players at all, so tactical usage of terrain (ambushes) will be a viable option because as it is now you cannot use obstacles to hide your presence from enemy forces – your “Serverserverserverserver Invader [Guild]” nameplate just gives your position away to anyone passing through. Another suggestion will be to hide enemy players’ health bars in WvW too.
War doesn’t determine who is right, only who is left.
I agree with removing them completely. You can’t even send scouts up a hill without them getting noticed. They get spotted before they get into view :S
I don’t see a major problem with removing nameplates. Enemies are silhouetted in either green (if they are friendly) or red (if they are hostile) not to mention the color of their clothes. I would have no problem with it. Although it is a nice counter to someone trying to use third person to their advantage i.e. looking around corners/over hills. The gigantic nameplate kind of removes the whole “they can see you but you can’t see them” dilemma of third person.
