Suggestion: Hide own name.

Yeah it's a shame they still aren't adding this. One of mine and many other peoples suggestions is being added though, repair and merchant npcs at camps, so happy to see that. They do listen to us. Perhaps this feature is more complicated to add then we realise.

The only thing that I like about my name being above my head is that it shows what linkshell I'm currently in, but perhaps we can have the linkshell icon that we're currently in to display on your screen as well?

I like seeing my hp bar because that is useful to me while fighting monsters. However, seeing my own name displayed directly above my head isn't really necessary most of the time.

I also agree that being able to see which linkshell I am currently in is helpful, and if I have a repair/bazaar listed. My name is the only thing I often don't need to see.

A toggle on/off would be a good option for hiding the name.

Actually I would like the LS icon to show up on the armor like on the shoulder or chest or middle back like a badge. they can have a designated location on armors and it appears there.

Also on the topic. I would like a personal name toggle as well.

I bump again because I'm still sad that this wasn't added in patch 1.19a Honestly is this really hard to implement? I just want to know I'm not criticizing, if it's really difficult to implement then I'll simply be quite and continue hoping.

But just incase the devs look at this I want to explain in detail what we want.

----For the Devs----
This would only be client side so it will only effect what we see not what everyone else sees.

So right now we can toggle to display all player names off or on.
We don't want to toggle every one else's name plates just our own.

So instead of hide all player names (which includes our own)
we would like our name which hovers above our own character's head to be available for toggling off and on. But client side so we are the only ones who don't see it. Unless the other players have all player names toggled to hide then they'll still see our name plates.

For an example, when you first added "/display main off" which hides our main weapon and it only worked on our side which we were the only ones who saw it the rest of the players still saw our weapons on there sides.

-------I hope this was easy to understand---------

It may not be difficult, but when you have a gazillion "not so hard" features to implement you still need to prioritize.

I am so glad that I saw this post because I was just about to post my own suggestion about this. I have no need of seeing my characters name above my head 24/7. In fact, as far as the linkshell shield goes, I guess (simply so that someone knows which they're active in at that moment) it could be moved elsewhere, maybe smaller, on the screen - perhaps next to the mini map or next to whatever class you are at the moment (exp bar area).

Regardless, I'm glad someone posted about it and also glad to see that someone important had responded on the very first page. Awesome!

Going on from what you said about relocating the linkshell crest, it could quite easily be placed down on the micro menu. This could allow players to switch active linkshells from there instead of having to go through the main menu.

I'd love to see toggles for a lot of the useless things that show on screen, own name, XP/chain indicators, quest markers

and the idea for the linkshell crest in the micro menu is a great idea

That's a wonderful idea! I never thought about that but that is a really awesome idea. It would make switching Linkshells like 100 times easier than it is right now. I hate having to always scroll through that huge menu. That would make it much more accessible.
