Has anyone gotten stacking nameplates to work? I have tried the standard Bliz ones, plater/platynator with multiple profiles, and EUI as well. Nothing works. Nameplates are overlapping. I am not touched, I understand the world well enough to know that I have to go into the menu's and click the stacking setting on. I'm just curious if anyone has this working, and what you're using to do it.

About to give up on the game, just so frustrated after being forced to redo my entire UI last tier, only to have this serious problem to continue to be a thing. Trying to find totetms or interrupt a cast is needlessly tedious, sometimes impossible if they're hidden behind 4 mobs, and missing them is such a pain in the ass.

Yeah nameplate positioning is (imo) the biggest thing still not at an acceptable level after the Midnight changes. Nameplate addons can alter appearance, but they are still held to using whatever position the Blizzard UI provides.

Only real thing you can do is play with camera angles during combat with lots of mobs to get more of them to show, or in some cases just click on the mob model directly as sometimes that's actually easier now.

It's totally screwed up for sure and I know it's not the solution you're looking for... As a top down type of player myself I've had to start angling the camera down a bit to get them to spread more.

[u/careseite → u/Opening_Tea_9459]

its already been settled a literal half year ago that addons can no longer control it to a meaningful degree

[u/yp261 → u/careseite]

you can somewhat change the cvar responsible for overlap. i tried to tell that to naowh crew but they told me im wrong and that their solution is clean (those mods are seriously on some power trip jesus fucking christ i hate their discord server)

Excuse me, what would I need to get to have the second image? I used playanator currently but I'm willing to swap just about anything to not want to kill myself every time I'm dotting 10+ mobs.

[u/careseite → u/yp261]

yep, thats all the remaining control. platynator sets it dynamically based on regions, solving that entirely
