They need to remove the white heading above enemies name when its an out of view distance!!!

either remove it all together or only use it in plain site

if your friends have green over their names NO need to have white over other players

I hate that you can't be stealthy in this game. Swim over to a ship and watch them change direction because they can see you from miles away.

I agree, white names are useless (who takes time to read them before shooting?) and make sneaking almost impossible.

@crimsonraziel a dit dans They need to remove the white heading above enemies name when its an out of view distance!!! :

@atyoss Maybe, just maybe, there are some people that don't shoot on sight. At least I heard rumors about that.

Then they will be dead before having the time to read my name.

More seriously i think white name should be readable when you stand very very close to the player, i don't count the times i got spotted or i spotted an ennemy on water trying to sabot our ship because of the white text.

@atyoss And everyone else has to play the game your way?

If you don't want to pvp, you can still communicate and be allowed to read his nickname by staying close.

If you are more a pvp player then the white text will not interfere in the gameplay.

It's a possible two side solution not something i want to impose.

But i bet you just want to uselessly argue instead of proposing some of your ideas.

@crimsonraziel yes

No sorry wrong.
Your body was visible and active so they see your name.
To be stealth you have to be 100% out of view so your name does not pop.

Emotes will allow you to hide your name already, laying or sitting out of sight works perfectly.

Stop sucking.

you are wrong bud. you can still be out of site and catch the white heading.....there is no reason for it to be there only your friends should be up in green

even if you are in site of the enemy the name shouldnt come up because what if they wouldnt have seen you on their screen without it? numerous times I only caught someone because that popped up

Hey I am all for who is friend and who is foe. but just why not make it where if they are in your crew they have green heading. if not there is NO heading.

Earlier today after a pvp ship battle I was the only one left in my crew and the other boat took off (with some good treasure) so as it was sailing I was hiding on the latter the whole time for a good minute. and I was all the way down it pretty much in the water so I was straight out of site. so 2 guys when to the crows nest to telescope all around to make sure we werent getting back on their tail. I heard one go "I see his name in white hes on the latter!!!" boom instant give away and my plan went to ****

Another awful example was during a big 3 galleon battle at a skeleton fort for the key. long story short our boat sunk and 3/4 of us died. but the remaining person had the key. and was trying to just hide out behind the island behind some rocks until we could pick him up. he was really far back of the island pretty much in the water and was behind 3-4 rocks COMPLETELY out of site..... and then boom someone saw the white heading pop up and knew where he was. the only way for it to not pop up is to make your guy sleep, wave, point etc

This needs to be taken out ASAP like w*f why is that in? just make it so you know who your crew is.....or AT LEAST if they keep this in make it so the white heading above an enemy can only be seen if they are in DIRECT site of you. not below you, not behind things. it seriously takes out the sneaking element of everything

i think they should remove name tags all together if you don't know what your crew mates look like shame on you.

I would say the name text still needs to be there, but only as the OP says in direct line of sight.
I personally like to have the names of my enemy in front of me for one or two reasons:

1- I like to hold a grudge if they have beaten me and I see them again later (won't actively chase them down mind)
2 - I like to be able to report hostile players who grief or spawnkill.

spawn killing isn't bad it's an honor, If you are spawn killing you earned it I spawn kill pretty much every battle because I have to, If I don't they will respawn shoot at me and repair or bail defeating my hard work. If i'm in a position to spawn kill, You already lost me hearty.

@wavey-sauce-585
Nope.
You must have had their body part in view at least a split second.

@ve111a
Spawn killing me to ensure my boat sinks and your own survival is fair enough.
Any other reason and it isn't playing fair it becomes malicioius and falls under grief in in my book.

oh me too, I feel like a jerk doing it but really what other choice to I have when I'm the one that boarded to kill and check for treasure.

@turtie5hell

again you miss the point

it still is a big give away. you can be on the players screen and they might not notice you if not for that give away moron

I only consider spawn killing bad if its at a port and the person you are killing has no treasure and is no threat to my crew or my treasure

last thing cause it was tested today

I saw an enemy on my ship only because of the white heading. he was on the other side of the screen and hidden semi well. if that didnt give it away I would have never caught em

@shralla

did they really reduce the range much?
