Guild Wars 2

Is that abbreviated server name discussion stil going on? (Ex: Sanctum of Rall Footman[AABB] = SoR Footman[AABB]) Can we expect that happening any soon or it’s out of table for some reason?

The bumping.

This was suggested long back, as usual since WvW is not that important it was swept under the rug.

This would be appreciated.

High character count names in closely stacked enemy zergs really disrupt visibility and hurt awareness. Quite a few time’s I’ve not noticed enemy siege due to it being camouflaged by a sea of name tags.

And while they are at it, please work on removing the tag of a completely downed player from the oppositions viewpoint. It gets real messy in large fights.

Can’t remove tag from downed players, they stil alive lol. But would be great having a change for “dead” players tag like a grey color, or something different so you don’t waste your time attacking nothing but air because you think the enemy is stil up.

Agreed, and it sometimes makes it difficult to see which of your enemies are dead and which are alive because the red arrow is gone and you can still see the red name. It’s awfully useful in large group engagements to know where your enemy’s line is broken and you can move through because much of the time that will decide the battle.

Anyway, the shortened nametag thing is a good idea as well, for a variety of reasons.

Wider nametags are also more visible around corners. Server name literally has an impact on hiding in an enemy keep.

Id like this.

15 char,

Personally I think the nameplates can stay but kitten remove the nameplates of dead players.

I just feel bad for the future mesmers attempting to hide in a keep with
“Northern Shiverpeaks Bronze Assaulter [CHAR]” hovering over their heads.

Soon, when most players starts to hit rank 150 it will get even worst with the 2 words ranks. I can only imagine a caos would be a fight on a matchup like this for example:

Northern Shiverpeaks Bronze Invader [ABCD] x 50
vs
Ferguson’s Crossing Bronze Assaulter [DCBA] x50
vs
Sanctum of Rall Bronze Assaulter [BACD] x50

Holy Mother!

On the flipside, all that red does look rather intimidating.

A big consolation to Vabbi players, I’m sure

I’d like something like this: <SoR> [AABB]
without any rank(which is displayed when you select a player) to keep it short.
Ideally we would have an option to show/hide rank, name, guild tag and an option to display server name normally or abbreviated.
