Guild Wars 2

Was doing Triple Trouble with some guild members, and noticed how difficult it is to see commander tags with a bunch of people around, so I took this screenshot, and it seems player names overlap the commander tag, making it even hard to see. It would be nice if the commander tag was on top of everything else at all times, as when the commander asks for us to do something, but yet run around for a few seconds looking for it, but can’t see it because of player names covering it.

Yes, I can imagine the troubles of seeing what to attack when the commander and 50 people are stacked on top of the wurm covering your entire view.

WvWers found the way around this long ago – target the commander so he sticks out even more in the zerg by having a tag on top of his tag.

GREAT IDEA …this might help ALOT in WvW especially

or as another workaround:

deactivate at options the user name display for such events

Can’t you turn down the amount of player names that show?

THOUGH , they could make it easier for us to find the commander by having a always on top function….because eventhough you have the target commander thing , it sill happens that you sometimes lose the dorito

They could but then again it took two years or so to provide us with a dorito in different colors.

So I am guessing it will take about 10 years for them to change the render priority of it compared to the nametags. Start holding your breath.

which has the added bonus of improving your FPS

Sadly it’s either all off or all on.
