Guild Wars 2

all the white and yellow text on creatures (but not trees etc) has started showing in my game (no matter the distance). this never happened before. before today I only saw enemy names because I have that option ticked, it didn’t used to show yellow and white ones (I think these come under npc names, which I have disabled) unless I was pressing ctrl, or I was virtually up their noses.

I also noticed a juvenile animal (pink moa) who wasn’t green like they usually are, but white. I wasn’t playing a ranger so couldn’t check to see if it was charmable.

I have tried turning the show names options on and off and the only thing that gets rid of all the yellow and white names is turning off show enemy names. this makes no sense for the white text animals like rabbits.

this has only started happening today.

guess I had a bug before with them not showing then lol

that juvenile was still white though, and should have been green

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

White/yellow names have always shown up if you have “Show all enemy names” enabled.While they’re hostile, you can attack them and your skills will affect them.

I am not trying to argue with you, but yesterday, there was only red tags showing with that option turned on. When you get close to white and yellow things, the names show up, but not from a distance. I am very certain of this as that is the ONLY thing I have on. I find the tags to be confusing and distracting, but like having the enemy ones on to show me who is likely to attack me. Today, I can see every firefly tag, every rat tag that is on the screen. A tropical bird flew across the screen with his name above him. It wasn’t like this yesterday.

The same thing happens when you pop up out of the water for air or something. For some reason, I cannot seem to do this in PvE, at least not easily.
