Curse

Nothing more annoying being in town and trying to select a hero or chest and it's surounded by 30 players and every time you try to click on it the chest name moves as your mouse is currently hovering over more players.

And while in dungeons, I've had many times where I get trapped in a corner for a few seconds to a minute because all the henchmen/hero's are hovering over me and I can't click the ground behind them and instead just select them.

It's even more fun when 20 of those 30 players have a title.

I have no idea how they'd implement this, but signed regardless. It's irritating. Even if you hit alt, when you try to mouseover the NPC in question, all those names pop right up.

Well I was thinking maybe add a button like Alt that ONLY shows NPC's, or have alt only show NPC's. Plus in dungeons maybe a option to not select hero's/player/npc's with a button, many times I will target a enemy but end up clicking on the hero in the way. Or try to get a item and click on a hero, both waste time while you try to click exactly on the name.

Maybe have a key that, when held, suppresses players names.

Well tahts what I mean by invisible. A way to avoid bringing them up.

I'm not sure why alt shows player names to begin with; if you're holding alt, it probably isn't because you want to click on a player name. I would prefer if holding alt only shows NPC names, and holding ctrl would only show player names. Holding both keys would show all names.

Perhaps as an addendum to consider separately, there should be an option to hide titles?

Oh... I waas thinking on this:

When you hit Ctrl, foe in explorables and other players in outposts are show. But the Interactive objetct, items and other allies are show also when you hover the mouse.
The same when you hit Alt.

What should be done?
When you Hit Ctrl, allies are not show at all.
When you hit Alt, foes are not show at all.

That's how it should work.

I agree with it being an issue in towns. But when you were stuck in the dungeons, why not just use the direction keys on your keyboard? (arrow keys, or WASD)

regardless /signed for alt forcing player names to be hidden at all times
