Character Nameplates are now live on PTS! Let us know what you think.

[Walsingham]

Nameplates are now available on PTS!

Nameplates will be replacing the old combat meters and will appear on yourself and your target while in combat. There will be a default setting, and the system has a variety of settings that will allow you to customize it to your heart's content. The options also allow for you to turn the system off entirely.

You can swap between your customized settings and the default with Shift+V.

Enjoy, and as always, your feedback is important, so please respond to this thread with any feedback and suggestions that you might have.

+1 for such a great idea. If can't play with new snazzy name tags because I have to go to work than this is a great temporary Trion PTS withdrawal fix

Hmm, what do i think?

I think you should be sorting out the mess you made of PvP before worrying about fluff like nameplates.....

PvP is finally going at the right direction, what specifically do you feel is a "mess"?

Considering you're a warrior you would say that

Mage bitter much? Consider mages now got 3 very viable pvp spec's I don't think you are entitled to envy warriors :P Or maybe you play a cleric? I can understand your concern that you infact have to go into a dps spec now that have nerfed the healing. Playing a rogue? You have been fotm since patch 1.5 so shut it :P

sorry for the off topic, but are you crazy? I was in a black garden a couple of days ago, ALL the people in were warriors and rogues except for two clerics... three clerics in a whitefall today, and I could go on like that.

Pvp people are running the heck away from this game, so much that you can't find a ranked match anymore, even if you payed with your kidney to have one. People die in seconds and cleric healers (that have NO cc worth of being called such to defend themselves and NO dps capability whatsoever) are easily trampled on by everyone and their grandma. The pvp game is turning to an fps... ooohh funny!

Seriously, I used to think GW2 wouldn't have appealed me since there are no dedicated healers, but since healing is spit and trampled on in this game, I might as well give it a try -_- open beta weekend in a few hours...

Funny, I thought this was a thread about new nameplates.

Why must you tease us when the PTS is down? You big meanie!
