Wow. For someone that talks like they know everything, you sure are wrong about a lot.
CTRL+SHIFT+H hides EVERYTHING!
I don’t want my whole UI hidden, ONLY the players’ names.
And I’ve already repeated myself several times but here goes one last try, the option to hide all player names DOES NOT WORK when you are in a group. You should not have to forgo squads just to hide player names.
If you can’t understand these simple concepts, then I am just going to assume you’re a common troll from here on out.
Uh, why do you keep repeating that the option is already there? No matter how many times you say, it’s not going to make it true.
The option to hide player names does not work in WvW. The option does not exist.
Not joining a squad is not a valid option.
You sure do have an answer for everything don’t you… Can you please give it a rest and just appreciate that the option to hide player names does not work in all circumstances and that some of us would like the option to hide the clutter of names without losing any other functionality (like joining squads, etc).
If you don’t want the option, then begone already. There is no need for you to continually respond to this thread.
Why are the names important in WvW? If it worked like it did outside of WvW and I could just press alt to temporarily bring up names, it would be fine.
Something as simple as a small red dot above enemy players would be far better than the immense clutter of names that all but hides the players beneath them.
Edit: In fact, I do believe there is the option to have enemy players appear in red armor… So a red dot is not even required and I fail to see the importance of player names in WvW.
People talk about how adding permanent health bars in smaller sPvP settings would create clutter and yet in massive groups of people (like for world events and WvW) there is absolutely no way to turn of player names (there is an option for it, but it doesn’t work in WvW or raids). So in WvW, for example, it just appears as though an army of blue text is clashing with an army of red text. As an example of how much nicer it would look if the option to hide player names worked in these settings, press CTRL+SHIFT+H and see how amazing two massive groups of players colliding looks in WvW.
Absolutely boggles my mind that I see people talking all the time about how the devs are anti clutter and this would add clutter and that would add clutter. The amount of name clutter that currently exists in WvW and large groups is already absolutely terrible.
It will remove the names of players if you are just out and about in the world, but if you join a big group for a raid (like for a world boss or event) or do WvW it DOES NOT remove the names.
Unchecking ‘show all player names’ does not remove player names in WvW or raids… You would think it would, but it does not.
I understand that CTRL+SHIFT+H is not an option. That is why I am asking for the option to hide the nameplates. I am merely pointing out that you can use CTRL+SHIFT+H to see what it would look like if there were no nameplates.
That’s fine if some people like the nameplates… All I’m asking for is an option; a hotkeyable option would be amazing.
It really looks fantastic without nameplates
I just did WvW for the first time and I honestly can’t express how much forced player nameplates ruins it for me… I pressed CTRL + SHIFT + H and wow does the game look simply amazing when you can actually see the massive battle taking place. But because nameplates are forced, all I am able to see is an army of blue text fighting an army of red text. Please, devs… Try it yourself. Tell me it isn’t a night and day ‘wow’ to see the massive battles taking place without the nameplates.
You’re hiding the beautiful game you’ve created behind cluttered blue and red text.
It’s really ridiculous… apparently we can’t have allied nameplates and health bars up all the time in PVP because the devs are anti-clutter… but in a raid with dozens and dozens of people there is no way to hide the names… Such hypocritical bullkitten.
This is extremely frustrating. The health bars already exist on a mouse-over, how hard can it possibly be to add an option to make them permanent?
Also, making the toggle hotkeyable would be great.
