Guild Wars 2

If they showed names what would the point be in WvW lvls and ranks?
Stop it.. No I mean stop it really..
You can see the nicknames from the guys of your own server that’s enough.

cant possibly add anything worse than what WoW has.

Nothing like getting killed by 5 people at once and some guy that was backpedaling the whole time with terrible gear starts spamming /spit on you. Then dances on your corpse while teabagging you like he somehow was the reason you died.

I’d be happy if I could chose which rank to display. Invader was the only title I every wanted. All that Bronze/Silver/whatever nonsense is just plain stupid.

So, noone against opened nicknames at the WvW if ANet will able to prevent whispering between servers.

i would love to see a map wide kill message like in daoc + name tags. everytime i have invited an enemy ( dont matter if i lost or won ) we had a nice and polite conversation.

+1

Was a player in DAoC named “Hiccups”. Every time the message, “so-and-so has been killed by Hiccups”, it was hard not to laugh in the middle of combat. (Still makes me giggle.)

Some people would get (ahem) “creative” about their names, just to take advantage of the kill message.

I actually liked DAoC’s lack of personal names in combat.

Games like WoW and its clones, combat was less structured, not group oriented and more individual-oriented. There were issues in combat, where enemies, recognizing names, would veer off, not concerned about anything other than personal revenge. And a lot of resultant trash-talking that detracted from gameplay.

I believe ANet has reached a good compromise between some of the issues of having names showing and total anonymity by using guild tags.

In a game that makes a claim to “community-oriented”, I’m not sure adding names to WvW this far after release would help the game. That’s just personal opinion. I know there were players who wanted names in WvW from release.

Heya! Did they made nicknames in WvW opened?

No. And you Necro’ed a thread 6 months old…

Nice necro, will throw my 2cents in’

No i dont want to have open nicknames in WvW, it would only make it toxic like WoW and really, i like it the way it is now.

Knowing your enemy and being able to chat with them opens the way to League of Legends-level toxicity and we’re honestly halfway there already since eotm chat = barrens chat.

You can just right click → block and the person will appear in your block list.

meh. names or no names... if you WvW long enough, you get to know people, and people get to know you. i could right now easily without thinking hard about it rattle off a list of a dozen names of people i could identify at a GLANCE on the battlefield, just by their appearance, and i’m sure i’m not alone... and i’m sure there’s people out there who know ME at a glance by my appearance (at least my main WvW toons... XD )

having names instead of "such and such invader" would only serve to speed up the "trash talk or gg" after a fight... meh not a big deal to me

until now my most private "HATE"* messages was when i beat my enemies , not when i killed from enemies ….

i don’t want my name be subject for their server / guild / friends and have rewards for my “head”.

if anyone wants to show his name to enemies ask it from anet to implement it as feature , but for the above reasons i want to have the option to hide mine

• the reverse of ganking creates a loot of HATE and whispers with many #$!#!$!$!%%! inside that are not improving the wvw at all

Peoplecan’t even handle being emote spammed.

I’m pretty sure they’d have an emotional breakdown if they got hate pm’s.

Hi there!
Please, remove this pointless “Invader” nameplates and make it possible to show the real nicknames of all enemies at the WvW
This will be MUCH more enjoyable if you know who is your enemy and if you know that your enemy knows you.
And it will be easy to implement, I’m sure

You can already do something like that (by messing about with the Friend/Followers/Blocked):
- Select enemy and press Block
- Check your Block list for the newly added entry
- Doubleclick the name, add as friend (or simply unblock), send a whisper

I do it on occasion when I enjoyed a fight very much.. A simple “GG” or something like that..

I see some people talking about WoW, but you don’t even have to go that far. Just play SPvP and you will see it’s not a good idea. A lot of people can’t keep their mouth shut after you kill them and tend to whisper you with insults and all kinds of nonsense to make themselves feel better.

Do you really want to deal with that on WvW? I know I don’t.

Red is dead. I don’t care who you are, i just care that you’re laying on the ground with a flag stuck through you.

This is my thread, so I can post here anytime

Anyway, they are still afraid to open nicknames? And a huge part of players afraid of that? What a cowards! And you are calling yourselves ‘men’?
