Where's Wally? Where is my character? Where is my target?

Amazing, I cannot post a link to a screenshot so I will expalin what I see.
Arena, dozen of warlock minions with nameplates and castbars, my character barely visible, my target that I am trying to attack invisible as well, lost in the crowd of minions. His nameplate disappearing in the jungle of other nameplates, flashy animations from another classes aoe. Basically a perfect image for impossible to solve puzzles.
Now imagine this image moving, nameplates changing positions and size, characters running around, abilities being cast and flashing all over the screen.
In situations like this I have no idea where my target is. Sometimes I do not even know which way my character is facing. This is riddiculous.
Is anything being done about this, and if not is there any way I can deal with this?
Some accessibility options that would gray out all those minions, perhaps an addon? Anything at all? I am not a super human. I am unable to track all of these characters in real time!

i highly suggest the addon “Smart tab target” for this exact problem.
Will work in arena and battlegrounds.
Lets you tab between only enemy players.

Also you could mouseclick the enemy arena frames?

Hope one of these 2 solutions can help you :slight_smile:

the “Where’s Wally?” got me :rofl:

u need to navigate into game options and disable minions mate

keep pets and guardians but disable the minor minions and totems

for totems u can use weakaura or nameplate addon to just show icon

and yeah there is just too many nameplates by default its overwhelming

threat plates named nameplate addon is what i got and theres few others too but this one has enough customization and pretty much all i need from addon for it i give it 6/6

Cheers guys, I will try these out. I hope clearing nameplates will help, but I am still cocncerned that the amount of minions stacked around me and my target will make it hard to navigate.
It used to be so simple - one character one pet.
It is not just warlocks. Now it seems half of the classes can summon not one, not two, but even more pets, totems, copies of them selves or similar.
I know I can click the frames to target who I want. Sometimes I do that but still I have no clue where the target actually is, or where my character is. Well, I know it is there in the middle of the screen but I cannot actually see it.

game would be boring if it would be still vanil on year 2023 we need to adapt

but lets hope blizzard fixes all of its bugs with df first as the game has been riddled with bugs and its just not running right since pre patch

I must admit the title got me laughing thanks man. And other people have provided solutions already so good luck out there
