Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 39	Posted - 2014.09.26 18:04:00 - [1] - Quote I would like to ask for something that has been brought up a few times so far, again. Let us see the names of our squad mates on screen, without having to point our guns at the green chevrons. When I am flying my standard dropship, and someone in my squad asks to be picked up, I simply cannot find them in a full squad. They can describe where they are to me, but it takes forever for me to figure out which green dot is the one talking on mic. When I am backing someone up, especially strangers that I am squadded with, I cannot tell them to turn around by name. "Hey green dot, tank closing in behind you !!" This is really frustrating, I feel stupid saying it and more often then not the person I am trying to call out too does not know I am talking to them. Please consider bringing back squad-mate name info. It's not clutter, it's VITAL.

Please consider bringing back squad-mate name info. It's not clutter, it's VITAL. I have this issue often when sniping. I can see the shotgun scout flanking my mate, and by the time I can say "Greendot at blaster by Charlie, shotgunner behind you", if I miss that scout, my squaddie's already dead. Jaceon Pale-eye. And you shall know me by the sound of Charge SR bullets whizzing by your head as I miss repeatedly.
Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 49	Posted - 2014.09.29 14:58:00 - [3] - Quote I would really like to see a blue tag say "we can consider this" "it can't be done because X" "we don't think it's a good idea because Y" Don't let this issue fade away one more time guys, please.
Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 53	Posted - 2014.09.30 19:37:00 - [4] - Quote Please consider giving this to us in the very near future !
Mobius Kaethis molon labe. General Tso's Alliance 1916	Posted - 2014.10.01 06:22:00 - [5] - Quote This is a good idea that won't cause too much screen clutter and would help with team play, especially with squads that don't play together all the time. Now with more evil.
CommanderBolt KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 1841	Posted - 2014.10.01 06:31:00 - [6] - Quote I have always felt that this was needed. There are many roles and many times where this would be a huge benefit. "Also I think knives are a good idea, big f**k-off shiny ones" "Guns for show, Knives for a pro" MY LIFE FOR AIUR!

This^ I would like an onscreen mic bubble too, so i can tell who is talking as well but, showing the names on the screen is the bare minimum. Can't like this post enough! 8-Time New Eden Mass Driver Champion Min Commando Combat Rifle and Mass Driver = FUN and Tears OMG the Tears!! :)
Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 62	Posted - 2014.10.02 03:16:00 - [8] - Quote Couldn't agree more ! Having the entire team's names show up was too much, but please bring back just the squad names ! Voice your opinions as much as possible on this guys, it would really make squading much more fun and pleasant. Another note: It's often hard for squad leader to decide where to stick the defend order when his squad member's names are not available. This happens to me often and I often end up putting it somewhere random until I can visually confirm it's the right person. Unfortunately, by then, the moment is often gone.
Cross Atu OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 3020	Posted - 2014.10.02 04:10:00 - [9] - Quote /Cross forwards idea See a cool idea thread? Mail me the title and I'll take a look =)
Foehammerr OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 63	Posted - 2014.10.02 05:31:00 - [10] - Quote I think the best idea that won't crowd up the screen is instead of displaying full names, go with the speech bubble as stated before, or put a number be side each name on the list 1-6 and put the corresponding number over the chevron of the player. *Rangers Lead The Way!* Beta Vet since 2/5/2013

I would love to see this, too !! But it falls in the realm of resources not already inside the client, therefore would probably require a client patch. It is my understanding we are trying to avoid that as much as possible. However showing up the squad member names was already part of the game at one time so the resources are already there. It might be a very simple implementation to bring it back, hopefully.
Derpty Derp Dead Man's Game RUST415 484	Posted - 2014.10.02 15:38:00 - [12] - Quote If only we could 'ping' a player to tell them they are in danger or that they want a lift in a vehicle... (would be abused by idiots, but it's easy enough to lock a squad and kick out the retards.) Sadly no chance of this along with ever fixing the no squad commands from inside vehicles, thanks to "no more patches... ever."
Haerr 1537	Posted - 2014.10.02 18:16:00 - [13] - Quote Oh yes! +1
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 9625	Posted - 2014.10.02 19:29:00 - [14] - Quote I never even knew we had this feature before and I've been around since the stone age. On Twitter: @HilmarVeigar #greenlightlegion #dust514 players are waiting.
Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 71	Posted - 2014.10.03 17:06:00 - [15] - Quote Perhaps I am mistaken? I seem to remember getting all the blueberry info without pointing directly at them, correct me if I am wrong, though. It was indeed too much, there was a devblog about removing clutter from the HUD, too. But bringing it back just for squad mates would be so wonderful. It was before they moved the efficiency information to the bottom right of the screen.
Mad Syringe ReDust Inc. 302	Posted - 2014.10.03 20:27:00 - [16] - Quote Squad NAMES are needed... +1 It's pathetic, that you can't adress squad members in the distance even if you scan them with your weapon. Bring sqad names back... Dedicated Minmando Masshole with love for Swarmholing...
Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 77	Posted - 2014.10.06 22:49:00 - [17] - Quote I agree 100%, can we get this in Echo when the time comes?
Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 86	Posted - 2014.10.10 16:12:00 - [18] - Quote Let's get this for Echo, please !
Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 91	Posted - 2014.10.17 18:38:00 - [19] - Quote Can this happen in 1.9 ?
Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 3706	Posted - 2014.10.17 19:21:00 - [20] - Quote consider me interested in having this info return to the fold.

Jade Tech Murphys-Law 120	Posted - 2014.10.19 16:33:00 - [21] - Quote Yes. Yes. Yes. Squadmates names should be seen both onscreen and on the map in general (When in the neocom in the middle of battle.) The rest of the team needs to be programmed to where you look directly at the blue ensignia and see their name, no matter where they are. Currently, you can only see their names at the effictive range of the rifle you're using. How it should work is that if you look at a specific blue dot on the map, his name should pop up, no matter how far away or obstructed he may be. Please? PC battles would be so much more easily coordinated with this functions return. Aw boo hoo... Let me play a sad song for you on the world's smallest violin...
KA24DERT TeamPlayers Negative-Feedback 669	Posted - 2014.10.20 00:46:00 - [22] - Quote This was probably the most ridiculous feature removal in the history of the game. "Hey blue dot south of the supply depot with the amarr logi suit, turn around beforeFRAGGED" Add this back asap.
Kaeru Nayiri Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 117	Posted - 2014.10.28 19:23:00 - [23] - Quote Is this really too much to ask for 1.9 guys? I'm begg'n here.
The-Errorist Sver true blood 830	Posted - 2014.10.28 19:45:00 - [24] - Quote I remember reading that 1.9 is feature locked, so if this will happen, it'll probably be in after 1.9. MAG + Dust cb vet, an alt of Velvet Overkill & Agent Overkill. http://vimeo.com/93181621
