Mobs' name appearing from very far

[AnonymeDiscret]

<p>This is an issue that came with the launch of AoD.</p><p>I see the name of aggressive mobs appearing from very far away, as if they had a huge aggro range (they don't).</p><p>This only happens with aggressive mobs, non aggro mobs work normally, I see their name appearing when I'm quite close.</p><p>This is very annoying, especially if you're a low level crafter, looking for ressources : you can't tell when you're about to aggro that mob near the nod you're using.</p><p>Please help.</p>

<p>There have been a number of threads that talked about this in the general gameplay forum, although they didn't all have terribly intuitive thread titles.</p><p>Short version of the discussion.  Some folks see a change.  Some folks don't.  Some folks like the change.  Some folks don't. Many folks never mentally connected aggro range with name visibility range in the first place.  Some dispute it was ever connected, and was more a coincidence.  No response from a red name.</p>

<p>Sorry if the title was unclear, English is not my mother language.</p><p>Could you please point me towards threads talking about this issue ?</p><p>It is very unsettling to me.</p>
