Currently in the stress tests if any person gets within I would say 100m of you, their white name plate appears above their head over the character. The name plate will show on land and even when people swim under water.
This ruins any chance of a stealth boarding of an enemy ship when your bright white name plate appears as you swim under water. I was attempting to stealth board an enemy ship and once they could see my name plate, their entire crew started shooting at me in the water even though I was few meters below the water line.
My suggestion: reduce the range in which you can see an opposing player’s name and remove the white name plate of players until they’re within line of sight of your character so stealth play isn’t punished. If a player is under water, you shouldn’t be able to see their name plate and would have to resort to physically spotting them in the water.
