The world feels so different when you turn off display names!

But like mentioned above, i love waving to people I know as well so for me it is rarely used.

If you play with no names displayed long enough, you'll pick up the ability to recognize other players by their customized faces, hairstyles, hair and eye colors etc. provided they aren't heavily armored.

It would certainly have helped me recognize the melee we had swapped into our party in CT yesterday. Without a name tag (don't know why it wasn't showing), she was basically invisible to me, even when just standing alone beside Atomos.

Even when heavily armored, I can still recognize my tank friend just because of the colors he uses!

But yeah having names off, I can recognize people fairly better because I learned to check for that first. It's actually a lot more fun I think. Having names off is really nice though. The screen isn't cluttered at all and it feels more immersive. The only time I have names on is for people in my Party/Alliance but that's because that's for function. I always highly recommend it to my FC mates but everyone thinks I'm weird, haha.
