Guild Wars 2

I could have sworn there was an option during Beta to show my own name plate. It may sound silly, but I like to see my own name above my character.

I know this has been asked before, but has anyone found a way to do this, or does ANet have any plans to make this possible?

I begged and begged for this during the various BWE’s but sadly it’s never been an option in GW2. Not sure why either. I’m like you, I like seeing my own name floating above my toon’s head.

Personally, I’d like to see my name and a health bar so I can better track when I’m about to die. But more importantly, my main is a L44 Ranger and in tough fights I can never see how my pet’s health is doing because there’s so much junk in the way. I’d give anything to have a pet health indicator somewhere near my own, as well.

I’m sure Mesmers would feel similarly.

Plus, I need to display my name for certain screenshots. This has to be an oversight.
