Who loves the immersion that no nameplates brings?

Any sensible pvp player will have health bars fro players turned-on, so with even no name plate I can already see you and spot if you are friend or foe.jambam817_ESO wrote: »I want to hide behind rocks in PVP... I want to dive around a corner and ambush my attackers! But no, no, most people want the game to tell them where everyone is with Nameplates. Leave them in other MMOs, i like what we have here.
My opinion... add a "HOLD TO TOGGLE" button, kinda like pressing ALT (or whatever) would show all name plates around you, but only while pressing it. For a quick reference. Not for a tactical advantage.
When you \re hiding behind that rock you are in stealth and I cant see you, even if you had a name-plate. Name plates will give no tactical advantage.
In fact pvp is usually he one place I turn name-plates off because it clogs my screen esp in big fights and whilst in a raid. However with them on it is a good way to spot friends to group with and also regular enemies.
However to not have a name-plate in open world to me is seriously impacting on my ability for social interaction. I want to spot friends and guild mates in town, I want to talk with people I recognise.
I've just come from lotro after playing for 7 years. A big part of it was spotting people across town or on the battlefield to say hello to, catch up or group with.
No nameplates is seriously having an impact on my immersion in the game, without them it is too anonymous.At least the spelling is difficult for you.

Yea people having an option for everyone is unfair......oh yea and not like the shield's over the enemy's head doesn't already do that.
agree health bar and shield already show a player, and without those pvp would be a disaster - how would you know friend from foe - that's why uniforms were invented !
Nameplates have no tactical advantage in pvp apart from being able to regognise friends, the famous, infamous, raid leaders, enemies. etc. in other words it adds to the sociability that make mmo's what they are.At least the spelling is difficult for you.
