Guild Wars 2

The name tags make people visible behind objects and walls.
running up to some of the points on the capricorn map i can see all the red tags there right through all the buildings and whatnot.

I feel like it flattens the tactics of the game. reduces what can be done.

why is hiding removed from the game?

I was going to stay away from that argument… but when someone comes out of stealth their name tag is gone for a second or so afterward.

stealth gets a gets a huge boon in this and basic targeting effects.
1 second of stealth removes the target and removes the name tag when the come back. those are both powerful effects.

Name tags disappear if the target goes behind a large enough obstacle (IIRC).

likely there is some logic to it or some items in the map block it but there are items that don’t that completely obstruct the view of the target. Its like a wall hack built into the game.

The worse is when the target is called, you even see a red circle above it, so it’s even harder to hide.

I always thought this was silly. Especially in SPvP and WvW. Why would the name be visible through an object at all? Just remove name tags of enemies in all PvP modes.
