Ya I just re-read the last few pages. Turns out the block of text I read for 'no nameplate justification' was from ArenaNet. Thought they were talking about Crowfall.

As with things like lady centaurs probably something they always intended but as a more long term goal. Like mounts I am sure they would have added them eventually but maybe it pushes it to the front of the stuff to add queue.

We don't know a lot about Crowfall combat gameplay but they're coining it with "action combat", "Wildstar", "TERA" and from what we've seen there's dodging, sprint, telegraphs and whatnot. All of this doesn't really scream hardcore competitive PvP to me, therefore I wouldn't be totally shocked they're plotting something for the more casual PvP crowd, like an option where you can hide your name for example. I think it's a terrible idea but we're already talking about a MMO centered around massive PvP fights with telegraphs and friendly fire. Just imagine how cluttered fights will be with nameplates added on top.

I am guessing someone on the forums will say that you need to know your friends and enemies like real war. Nameplates breaks immersion! Something like that.

I was making a comment about adding nameplates on top of telegraph / FF boogaloo, I'm strongly for nameplates being shown all day everyday, I resent this whole anonymous PvP trend GW2 started, sorry if my post wasn't clear.
I think from what I've played regarding action combat (GW2, Wildstar), PvP wise it was all about running around avoiding fire on the ground while spamming AoEs. I hate it deeply and especially when healing is taken away from the equation.

I was a big proponent of nameplates in TESO but I think you can get away with not having them as DAOC did it just fine but it does require a few other things in place:
1. Character silhouette
2. Distinctive armor/dyes/cloaks/emblems/etc.
3. Character rank (racial specific titles)
4. Kill spam with locations
After pvp'ing in DAOC for years, you started to learn who was who just by those things without having their random dumb ass name floating above their head. I also think there's an opportunity for systems that could prevent seeing the name until you've killed that player (or been killed by another player) several times at which point you earned the right to know who you were up against.

Nice, "imbalance is where the fun is". Haha. What are we talking about here, DAoC level of imbalance?. I loved soloing groups with AoE mes. If the imbalance is on the level of DAoC, I'd pick it up just for the, lols&QQs.

From the information at hand we have the Centaur as reference. Fastest base movement speed out of all the archetypes. Pretty OP.

I don't really feel like freaking the fuck out and going berserk on a centaur that runs by only to find out he was in my guild.
Nameless PVP is completely worthless.
Plus it makes the FFA server a shit-show not having them.
**If I ride by and see <PRX>Tuconomics above some miners head, I'm stopping dead in my tracks and fucking that guy up
If I ride by and its <a guinea pig miner> or no name at all I'm less likely to give a shit about fighting him and I'm more likely to get on with my business.
Edit: We all know tuco is going to be a guinea
