Please add better player names overhead

Community General Discussion

Please add options to:

  • Hide guild names from above-head player name displays
  • Hide titles from above-head player name displays
  • Hide realm names from above-head player name displays
  • Render player names in a bolder font with a class color
  • Hide pets/summons/other irrelevant unit names

Various nameplate addons used to be able to do exactly that, but now the ability of addons to modify friendly nameplates while in dungeons&raids is disabled without providing an alternative. Currently somewhat close is only available through enabling friendly nameplates and hacking around with nameplateShowOnlyNames CVar, which only gives partial result

Being able to see and distinguish your teammates clearly is very important in all group content.

P.S. Is this forum section good place for such feedback?

Title should still be visible in the tooltip and inspect window, just not taking place in the battlefield screen

Yeah, for healing in dungeons and raids in particular, the default player name rendering style is very poorly visible and it makes certain things like placing AoE heals unnecessarily difficult. At least one can change the font of player names in raids and dungeons, but it’s still very lacking.

I really dislike how inconsistent player and NPC names are shown in and outside of dungeons and raids. Normally I’m all for addon restrictions, but restricting something as basic as name rendering only in dungeons and raids is annoying.
