Can't See Player Names, N of Junkyard
« on: September 14, 2014, 07:01:52 AM »

I think this should be fixed? Perhaps by adding a wall north of Junkyard? Unless this is purposeful? But I can't imagine why it'd be hard to see someone whose standing right out in the open.

Blockers are already there, that's why those guys cannot hide themselves more than that. I don't think that's much of a problem, they're still easily catchable imo.

A player is supposed (I imagine) to be easily visible/targetable by their names being shown, when their names are being hidden through a (seeming) exploit in which you can hide your names, that seems to be an advantage bred out of system incapabilities at the time, not due to any logic that makes sense.

So I'm just wondering, is this something that will actually be worked on (eg: adding a wall making it impossible to hide your name) Or is this part of the fonline-AoP tactics that devs want to see being used?

In my personal opinion, it just seems to be an advantage bred out of an oversight. Not an advantage bred out of any logical "tactic".

I agree. Running the top of the map gives you not adequate advantages, though probably now it's not priority.

would be great for south exit grids to not be blocked by UI as well.

This would also be good, HOWEVER: I think what would be even better would be to have "f4" TOGGLE through different forms of the UI.

Perhaps it would only show necessary combat info like: AP, ammo, fire-mode, HP.

Allowing more visibility of the bottom of the map without having to zoom in far, or erase our entire UI.
