Hide or Shorten Teammate Name

Hello,

I play on the Asia servers and I notice a lot of my teammate names use a long string of Chinese/Japanese characters, which blocks my vision sometimes when I am trying to spot enemies.

Is there any chance of seeing an update on having the option to hide teammate names and replace it with color dot/arrow on top of them or anonymous mode where it simply just says "Wraith" with the corresponding colors.

Just a suggestion thanks!

    I have been suggesting this from day one. The amount of information you want to see on the HUD should at least be customizable. And just like you say; spelling out the usernames is UTTERLY useless and makes me question the intelligence of the devs. Just  naming them "1" and "2" would be good enough. But respawn are hellbent on making this game worse by these choices. Its mind boggeling that they dont realize that its BAD GAME DESIGN when all you see at the horizon is "[UwU]BestWraithMainintheENTIREWORLD" and"[面条]我的功夫比你的好" in front of you, covering the entire screen....Its the same with the weapon icons. How many times have you not ADS:ed over a ledge and all you see is a darn symbol of a Mozambique or an ammo stack? Or the "ROUND 1" sign that pops up and literally covers 20% of your entire screen. 

  • @WonkyBonky-EN I rather see a legend icon, (like how they're displayed in mixtape), over the player's name. I'm constantly seeing players with very long names blocking part of the screen and its distracting.

    What's even worse is that they'll get an extra 6 characters if they're in a club, and I've seen names longer than 32 characters, (yes I've counted). One player's name was so long it actually went off the screen.

    Why is this even a problem?
