I’ve encountered an interesting bug since the WvW patch (at least, I hope it’s a bug and not an intentional change!): The summonable minions for my Necromancer have their nameplates showing and it is not possible to hide them anymore.

It wasn’t until tonight that I believe I identified the root cause of the problem: my minions all bear my guild tag now, and it’s not possible to hide the tags of people in your guild. In other words, my minions are part of my guild now, so their tags always show up.

Can you please add an option to hide the minion nameplates? I run around with 6 of these things and all of the nameplates creates a lot of visual distraction for me.

Thanks!

necromancer minions have always shown their nameplates and have had guild tags too. I don’t remember a time when that wasn’t the case.

Possibly. I do know that I was able to hide them until the last patch.

My reasoning behind the cause may be wrong, but I’d still like to have the ability to hide the tags back. I really don’t enjoy playing any open-world PvE content with tags on — the game is too beautiful to clutter it up with text, especially with that of my own minons.
