#40902, "Shifters and names."


          

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but would it be possible to make shapeshifters targetable by their player names, even while in form? It very frustrating trying to keep track of four or more names for one person when trying to fight them. Would help with talking to them too.

This has been discussed and it's by design.

It's bad design as is, in my opinion.

in our opinion, it is the way it is on purpose because that is one thing that makes the shapeshifter class different, whether playing them, fighting them, or being on their side.
