Name clipping range? - Phoenix Freeshard

Is it just me, or do the names of realm-mates/Enemy race tags load in much later on this server than on live? You have to be right up on someone to see if they are realm or group mates or enemies that must be killed

Is there any way to increase this distance client side or is this a server setting ? If it is a server setting, can we possibly increase it a tick or two?

Thanks!

Many have mentioned it but staff says it is the same as it has always been

what might be a difference, is that it depends on camera position, not character position. (if you can't see someone, then scrolling the camera nearer to your char or into FPV you will see names plopping up accordingly)

I am not completely sure if i just remember it wrong (wouldn't be the first time) but imo it would make sense to have information sent to you based on your characters position, not your cameras position. Even if it is a customchange i believe many would appreciate it

I thought it was just me. Glad someone else noticed this.

Many people have noticed it. On live and in 1.65 name clapping range was from your character position. Here it's from your camera position.

Ha, interesting.. I always thought it was me having clouded memories.

Some day i realized through how many characteres I am clicking to find out if its an enemy or not and that I cant remember ever clicking through groups of players like a madman back in the day.

The staff has said that clipping range is set to max on this server in a few previous posts...

I think the staff was talking about the range where you can 1st see characters and the original posters were talking about the range at which you can 1st see the name tags. I meant to post about this so that maybe we could have gotten some clarity before but I got busy... I am glad someone else brought it up... forced me to post.

The range on the banner is ridiculously too short. I am not sure why. They need to increase that right now! This affects tab-targeting the most but has other affects as well. Some custom UIs don't even show what the con to you color wise. The worst is playing a scout and having to run up on the little worm guys in DF to target them... and then run back to shoot them :/

GMs... please inform me if I am wrong... but can you all increase the range of the nameplates before I go nutz!!!

Any GM/Dev want to comment on the ability to increase the range where we can see banners?

Ability to select range would be preferred...
