Don't you think the color is too dark? Almost black. Shouldn't it be white or green/red based on alligment instead of this grey-black color? Is this planned (i think it should be a very easy change)?

I agree with the OP - perm floating names in a game the gives the ability to use terrain & landscape to camo movement is/would be pretty lame.

I would like to see mouseover work farther away tho - especially for friendlies.

IMO mousing over should also give tribe affiliation.

I agree but would like to see the names to return to the current state when hide is in use.

This distance names work is just fine in my opinion for people not in your tribe/homestead, otherwise hiding underwater would fail :)

However, friendly targets could be given a more friendly distance.

I heard that friendly and neutral will only appear when toggled (maybe perm after you toggle them once idk) and evil players names will show up in red permanently but hiding will hide it I think. Oh and good players will be green too I heard. Nothing on neutral though.

I hope not, mouse over a person and they appear red I can understand but a mile off and red I think is BS. I also think the game shouldn't flag a person red if their are no witnesses that make it back to their tribes alive to report it, but a tribe should still be able to flag that person as personal enemy.

Agreed

I heard that perma visible red names will be visible for famous evil players not all evil players. IE. Mass Murderers.

dumb feature.. this game had an exclusive on being able to actually use camoflauge and the surroundings to hide in.. this damn floating crap above te head total negates that effect and will total dumb down combat/ ambushes.

Sure have player names turn a diffren't color when moused over and maybe make mousing over someone show a name from further out... but please a floating symbol over your head???

Makes complete sense to NOT have any perma names over ANYONES heads. Mouse over or click when close by (like working now) should be all you get.

Why not have a transparent bubble behind the name and chat box?

Are you kidding me??? This is one of my favorite things. There is absolutely no reason you should be able to see any names, or nametags that give away locations. I love the black font.

Nice ideas, I like them. Also, I too hope they leave the way the name tags are, that ruins so many mmo's for me. I like the unknown.

I do think we shoul dbe able to tag someone further out.. if you actually see them and click them... but a simple mouse over isn't cool.. you could just see a movemeant and mouse over ever inch of a screen until you find them becuase the name pops.. I think thats crappy.

Use some skill actually look for a player hiding.. when you spot them click them exactly where they are hiding to identify them.

Maybe give you a skill or item that would increase range for "look outs"

i dont feel this is ANti-pvp as i feel it HELPS non combatants as well as the griefer crowd. so i vote stays same as is NOW maybe add in some color changes with align but nothing else
