Blizzard pushed a Midnight beta update on November 19 that adjusts stacking nameplate visibility, adds new Midnight enchants and consumables to beta vendors, and applies a handful of dungeon fixes and visual corrections.
The update is live on beta clients, so players should see the stacking nameplate visibility change after updating. The patch also places Midnight enchants and consumables with Veeno the Second in Orgrimmar and Stormwind so testers can try them without farming or crafting first.
Stacking nameplates has caused readability problems in dense encounters. The visibility tweak should make it easier to track overlapping units during dungeons and group fights. Testers rebuilding their UIs after the Midnight beta blocked some combat reading addons may find this tweak helpful when retuning layouts and nameplate settings. We previously covered players rebuilding UIs in reaction to the beta changes and that piece may help if readers need a starting point for adjustments.
