I think wolf means is why you would want that option? I assume you are not simply asking the devs to invest time and money in making such an option as a novelty??

Also have do you want this as an option that the owner of the pets has for his pets? or an option someone else has to disable the names of other peoples pets?

What bout the consequences of mesmer clones in PvP and WvW? wouldn’t that put a bomb under one of the main startegy’s a mesmer in pvp/wvw has? Cause the strenght of a mesmer is to get your enemy’s to kill the clones instead of you?? your option would put a bomb under that? how would you solve that problem in your suggestion?

It’s a banal and basic option that should(!) be since the beginning. So that there was no text names on screen but target name. The absence of such options – is an essential drawback. The process of its introduction is elementary.
For reference: the developers did not invest money in the elimination of deficiencies. They get paid wage like all others for an hour / day / month of work. And eliminate of defects – it’s their job. This happens not so: “hey, dude, go do some work on the bugs, and I’ll give you the money.”

They can add several options. Expand the whole names options system. I think it’s <10 minutes of work with code.

About clones and PvP. Well, it’s an OPTION, so if you don’t need it – do not use it. And I want to fix: now phantasms nicks fully comply to player’s and turns off along with it. Even illusions, despite the fact that they are transparent.

I dont see whats wong with that suggestion. You can turn off NPC names. You can turn off player names too. I think turning off pet names is a good idea.

Ok in thatcase I oppose you suggestion. The simple reason that clones go off like players is that mesmers use clones to hide their own identity. You would ruin the mesmer in pvp/wvw

Since you dont give a good solution to that your whole idea is bad for the game.

Pfff… What a obstinacy… The names of enemy mesmer’s clones are absolutely identical to names of mesmers themselfs and submit to their settings. This option
will
not
affect
them AT ALL. And… to be opposed new options(!) (I remind: option – is the sort of thing that can be turned on and off as you wish (and is designed to expand the usability and customization of the interface, making the game more convenient)) – is at least ridiculous, and… well… strange

I try to explain again. The option means that you can turn off the name of clones and keep on the name of the mesmer. This also means that you can recognize the real mesmer. So you atre destroying a whole class with a luxurious rubbish option.

Em… O_o I have already explained that even now mesmer’s names are identical to the names of clones, and use their (player’s) settings. I do not know how else to explain it.
Let’s say your enemy’s name is Mr. Mesmer. He uses mirror blade. You receive the exact same guy with the same name – Mr. Mesmer. If you turn off the display of players names – both will turned off. If he cast phantasmal berserker – appears transparent pink guy named phantazmal berserker. How could u take translucent pink guy for real mesmer? With name or not.

Your question has ALREADY been resolved.
So… It will be exactly the same.

Also, do you think that the developers will not provide such thing?

Furthermore, It is very difficult to confuse mesmer and his clones. Especially by nicknames on which no1 really looking at.. It is difficult to name This “tactic”.

For real this is the most annoying thing about this game in pvp. I have the option checked to turn off player names and npc names but then i come across a necromancer with 6 minions, a ranger with 4 spirits and 1 pet, and a mesmer, and all of a sudden i cant tell whats going on because my whole screen is filled with these huge, long, worthless, non-translucent, names bouncing around all over my screen. Its a whole lot of visual stimulation that is highly unneeded. The only text on the screen i want to see is the name of the player i am currently targeting.

The option to remove players name. Change it and make it “Remove player and pets (summons, whatever) names” that way Nothing but the person you are targeting will have a name above their head.

Also get rid of the stupid Chosen or Ransacker or Guild Warrior and all that white text under peoples names. It just makes more worthless text on the screen. What is that text for anyways?

I would say as long as Mesmers keep the clone names, there’s no issue taken with this idea. My fiance and I both run a necromancer sometimes, and if my buddy jumps on his I can hardly find the enemy for all the minions.
