Description
PvPTogether
PvPTogether is a focused quality-of-life addon for Blizzard nameplates in player-heavy content.
It lets you keep Blizzard's native nameplate system, but apply style and border visual overrides separately for key player unit types.
What It Does
- Adds per-unit-type Blizzard nameplate style overrides for:
- Party Members
- Friendly Players (non-group)
- Enemy Players
- Adds an
Inherit (Global)option to each style dropdown so you can disable a specific override and fall back to Blizzard's global nameplate style. - Keeps NPC nameplates on Blizzard global behavior (no NPC style override).
- Adds optional per-unit-type border visual overrides for the same three player categories.
Why Use It
- Keep Blizzard nameplates while still getting clearer PvP-oriented visual separation.
- Make group, friendly, and enemy player plates easier to distinguish at a glance.
- Tune visuals per category without replacing your whole nameplate system.
