Hide names option

[bellliam]

First feature request post but been reading the shirt out of these forums and loving the game.

Only I wish that I had the option to hide the names of my toons, totally shameful if it's something I have missed in the options but I would really like to have the option to not see the names of my toons when I rush them at the police I've been attacking for armor...I mean bandits, attacking bandits, police are good?

...when I rush them at the police I've been attacking for armor...I mean bandits, attacking bandits, police are good?

Do not worry, that is nt evil compared to what some minds of this forum plan to do in the future or have done, that makes you almost a saint.

I gotta agre tho, a hiding tool for names, and may some other toolds of the gui might be god, even to take pics without it, for the style , to show badass squads properly.

Right now we're still in the Alpha phase, beautification isn't a priority at the moment, and as such these more aesthetically pleasing options are not available for the time being. Once we've got multiple squads and the ability to hire laborers, our screen would be too cluttered with every name of every character displayed at all times. I imagine that at that point we'll either see selected characters names displayed, or the currently selected squads names displayed, and perhaps an option not to display them.

There are several other features likely to be added in first, getting walls back in, AI factions attacking our outposts with more concerted efforts, enemies potentially destroying our buildings, the armor revamp and crafting system... All of that might have a higher priority than additional squad members, and if so needs to be in the game with bugs squashed. Now, what are Chris' priorities? Only the man himself knows for sure, right now he could be implementing giant pirate statues for our lowly mortals to construct and worship, to pray for the favor of the great bearded marauder in the sky.

yeh also to take pics I actually lined up my first four guys and took a picture after my first pilgrimage to catan.. I think that's when I knew I was addicted.

also, and this one is I guess much harder..but maybe even a health bar? I know I know, there are all the different bars.. maybe an average or the lowest one shown with an icon denoting which limb etc it is?

oh I understand it's low priority, I just figured I would start actioning some threads with ideas I had before they were forgotten. I imagine everyone has them every now and then and dreams about them being in the next update but that isn't likely. I just figured this was basically the area where we post our wishlist, for which christmas, I don't know

btw, I have to say, I know it was a joke but that statue thing is pretty cool lol if it would be a statue of maybe your first char or something it'd be pretty awesome or even those that died in battle lol
