Guild Wars 2

Remove current colors and create better nameplates, the current ones are just that bad, no health bar except for your target or awfully close enemies.
Get these better nameplates, and then add a class icon on it, since the only way to sort a class or another right now is by targetting it, since each class of armor is wearable by 3 different classes, only one that sticks out right now are enges with backpack.
It makes the game quite awkward.
Anyway, signed.

Tom Gore.4035:

You mean in cramped situations? Because in the open you can zoom out quite a bit (default is mousewheel down). If that’s not enough zoomed out for you I don’t know what you expect? MOBA style top-down view from the clouds?

I do mean out in the open, and as i said, it might be enough for you if you are playing Human, Asura or Silvari since they are quite small and do not take a lot of screen space.

Anyway, as stated above you can’t zoom out as much as in other mmos, and yes, it would be nice to be able to watch the action from a top-down angle, which would allow players to work on their game awareness (I’m mainly thinking of positioning/Line of sight in PvP).

Am i the only one getting upset with how close the camera is to my character?
It is fine when playing a human or an asura, but come on, it is just unbearable how much screen space can norns take. It’s very cool that we can bind a key to look behind us (even if the angle can get akward from time to time), but it’s not enough.
It would be so much better if we could increase that distance to increase our vision of the battlefield, because once again the current camera is way too narrow.

I’m well aware that Anet still has a lot to work on, and that it might not be a priority, but that’s not like it is a major mechanic change, thus, they could fix it rather quickly (don’t mind terrain collision at 1st, we have them with this kitteny camera already).

Please speak your mind out and support the matter, because Anet will probably only look into it with enough players asking for it.

Don’t forget that everyone is concerned, and that if the current camera distance is at your liking, you will still have the freedom to set it as close to your char as it is, but I know for one that it is bothering both me and my friends, and probably a lot of others, so if you want it, ask for it! If you don’t need it, ask for it too, it’s good karma!

Yeah, a moveable UI would be great for a start, but none of you mentioned nameplates.
There is little to no visibility with the current enemy nameplates, and even worse, no friendly nameplates (unless you mouseover them, which is no solution to be honest).
Player nameplates could also be class colored.
These improvements are particularly needed in PvP, i won’t argue on PvE, where the moveable UI/boons/conditions would be far enough to play comfortably. I guess.

Anyway, if the devs really made this game with eSport in mind, these changes would be a least.
I would ask for macros and a focus frame, but something tells me I’ m gonna get boo’ d for it, and, well, in his current state the game feels like a moba, so i guess we could live without those last two.
