going underwater should hide your name plate

[Stand The Wall.6987]

but still make you targetable. easy way to give cheap stealth to classes that don't have it, and in doing so increasing their chances of success at roaming.

Same thing with breaking LOS. There are nice little hiding holes in places, but depending on where you stand your nameplate and/or team triangle can be seen still.

Should also work if you /playdead

B)

 

On a more serious note, no thanks, already too much stealth in the game.

Lack of LOS should hide a lot of things, not just nameplates.

Interesting idea.

We already had server-side culling in the past and it was terrible. Just hiding nameplates is enough.

Going into "Stealth" shouldn't hide your name plate.

[Stand The Wall.6987]

i'm not sure what would happen if you mouse over someone while they are underwater and you are on ground. maybe just a little red outline of the enemy, no cursor change and no name plate.

 

alternatively you could show name plates with mouse over but the effectiveness of hiding underwater would obviously drop dramatically.

 

either way idk seems like a decent little survival tool for roamers to avoid zergs or get the jump on people in the era of warclaw.

I disagree. Objects have a tendency to appear larger in water, so we should at least double the size of nameplates.
