[contra] Invisible player names

Hiho,

today, i recognized that all player names were removed. This might be more realistic, but it comes along with some difficulties:

1) It provides teamkills in many situations by blind shooting, bombing or nading.
2) Players in buildings are completely invisible as long as I'm not close enough to smell them.
3) It's hard no recognize, whether a vehicle is empty or used by an enemy. (Capturing a flag at CTF is almost impossible, if you waste ammo and time on shooting the wrong tank.)
4) Basebombers and team damaging players can not be reported until they die or get a (team)kill.

So I would be thankful if you return to the old server settings.

Kind regards,
Bobbycar

Re: [contra] Invisible player names

Nameless, can you make vote for this? Maybe we could find some players enjoyed current server settings.

Pointless. Because majority of people don't like it.

Hello Bobbycar,

Your point is well taken. Nametags were set off after playing some FinnWars rounds, yesterday. It was to be a test for one round and forgot to change it back. I was playing with some admin commands and these nametags on/off switch do not have immediate effect, only after another map starts.

Does it hurt your feelings? Are you trying to suppress or censor it?

Re: [contra] Invisible player names

No, it doesn't hurt my feelings as long as it stays on this forum without any actions taken.
I am not able to suppress or censor any of it and haven't got a need for it.
Every person has a freedom of speech, so even if you think this way, say it.
I am a person who likes different points of view on a subject, so maybe I will find something usefull for me to evolve.

I mentioned this particullar issue because I think that you were a bit biased towards political threads rather than giving feedback to proposals from players who spend a lot of time on your server and willing to improve it with different ideas. Some may be good, some may be crap, but atleast we will know if there is a sense in posting them.

Acting like a ghost or some eminence grise may be entertaining for you, but we need communication to make this work better Imho.

A good idea would be to make a new topic where will be written all the last changes on a particullar server.
Ex: Fra server news.

Re: [contra] Invisible player names

I try to read all feedback, if I don't answer it, it does not imply I am ignoring it. I cannot reply to all posts for obvious reasons.
