Guild Wars 2

Please display Character Name in Squad instead of Account Name. I am having enough trouble as it is in a 10-people squad(see 50) figuring out who is who from seeing their Account Name in Squad and seeing their Character Name talk in chat, or above their character on the map. I can Toggle Squad, but it also only shows people who are in my subgroup.

I am having to Translate each name one by one:
Example
BlackJack.1234 = Lightblue Dragon
EMS.4567 = King Moa Moa
Tygger.6789 = Norny Baratheon

And dont say just click that person to target them and find out who is who when they are possibly not even on my current map.

+1 was thinking the same when i entered a squad with new interface. How can i fast know who is whom.

Characters are displayed but it depends on what size you’ve set the squad window. For some reason at the smallest size it only shows display name.

Yeah, to actually read the names I’d have to extend the squad UI very far, so it’d take up a good chunk of my screen, obscuring the view. Ofc the smallest size doesn’t leave any room for name, but if hovering the mouse over a member could show the name, that’d be nice.

Yeah I agree. Right now I Hoover over people’s name in chat or over their character name to figure out their account Name. Then I Hoover over all the icons on the UI to figure out who is who regarding class. Really annoying.

At the very least, you should have the option to display toon name or better yet, nickname. I’ve never understood what the guild interface doesn’t allow people to offer the nickname that they use within the guild.

Just make it show both the character name and the account name when you hover over them and it’ll be problem solved.
