We Need Names Locked Immediately

[Eunuchorn]

Every other Gree game makes you pay for a name change. We need this in K&D before guild wars hit. If it doesn't get changed, my guild *will* take advantage of it & change all their names to the same thing to screw w/ scouting reports. I have no control over them, so for the sake of #2-(1)250 guilds, enforce permanames! Maybe even unique per server names, what a concept!

That would be nice.
I manange my friend list in a text file and it's pretty frustrating to suddenly see names pop up that aren't in my list or see names that are disappear... :(
One free name change should be plenty.

[King Mark]

I'm fine either way, but IF they do, they should make an announcement. I don't want to be stuck in my current name "RR King Mark UN", or pay to have it changed, LOL! However, take note that there's a possibility Gree would let the changing of names available in K&D as part of Guild War Tactics. So if your guild or others decide to take this tactic during Guild Wars, there shouldn't be any whining from anyone as it's a legit one ^^

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers!

I see a lot of people with the letters UN after their name, what does it mean?

I agree that random name-changing is annoying, and deliberate name duplication, while an effective tactic in pvp, is even more annoying. And I say this as a member of the guild that had six "Diana" players in the top 10 of epic boss leaderboard for a while this week.

[sk8kidamh]

Maybe I'm stupid, but why is this a big deal? So what if everyone has the same name, as far as I can tell, you don't really get to choose who you fight.

[busteroaf]

If they set it up like many games before... your guild might not have a choice in who to fight, but you, as a participant, CAN chose who in the other guild to fight. That is why scouting other guilds is important, and why if everyone has the same name, it will be much harder to scout.

[Sakino]

Make name changeable for the main at the price of 20 gems, and a little poput that give you the last chanche to set it for free. Simple. Even more revenue from gree.

[Ragmondino]

As much as you might think its a good tactic, it makes no difference in war. Any half decent team can still tell what player to hit when scouting. Wether it's by level, looks, placing on the list. It's been tried in all the games already and everyone reverts back as its a useless tactic.

[WinTr]

New to the forum but not the game.

Ive been looking to find out how to change my name in K&D (Android). Im not sure if they did away with it or what, but I wasn't informed of any change.

Instead of completely locking the name changes you can have two alternatives.

1. Make it so players cannot have identical names.
2. Charge 15 gems per name change and 25 gems per guild name change.

Reasons why people may want to change their name:

Bordem.
Thought of a better name
Represent your guild

I highly disagree having name changes removed permanently.

[Paladineguru]

Why should you be permitted the tactic of scouting , without the counter of camo digital style for the opposition.
Sounds like your just butthurt.

[Paladineguru]

What's next, infiltration for spies lol.

[TealC]

15-25 gems for a name change? What the hell guys, why are you trying to make GREE make you guys pay even more for this game?

Butthurt because he ended first, makes sense.

[Hakurou]

I like the idea,
but doesnt seem plausible to me that Gree will make the effort of determining who has the same name and then force all but the first one with that name to change it.

[Bumpain]

I quite like the idea, or perhaps there's 2 parts to your name: "Guild Tag" + "IGN"

so the IGN is locked, and the guild tag changes specifically depending on what your leader want the tag to be

[BobSaget1]

At the end of the day, it isn't that necessary, leave as is

[Tachycardia]

Meh, I just target the GM, GS and GC anyway, regardless of name.

[Unresolved]

I think the first guild war has proven that changing names doesn't do a thing against a half-decent guild.

Well, its also fun to know what "nameless" person you're actually beating up on. I know that many non-RR "friends" magically disappeared off of my (and many other guild members') friends lists, so its not like we can even battle them off my friends list. Takes the fun out of it when there are 20 of the same name. Its not always about hiding and concealing stuff from the enemies. Some people just want to brag they beat the snot out of someone. Man, I sure did beat the snot out of Joe, but that other Joe, he was impossible to beat.

So, if say, we got paired against a rival guild and I wanted to be able to say "you know what, I whooped your butt the other day Joe, Jim, and Johnny... " Wouldn't you like that better than "Gee, I defeated every GM/HC/GC/GS version of Joe from the Schmoe Guild in that last battle. Whoopty. Which of you was actually the real Joe?"

Actually knowing which opponent you're facing is a little more fun than just "2nd down in the black area past 'Dippy' is the GM. Target them." But yeah, against a half-decent guild, you aren't going to have any problems, but it takes away some of the personal targets.

As long as the war list shows the rank of any member it doesn't really work to have the same name. Only thing it does is to create some sort of nuisance - on a side note Gree needs to fix the war list so when we scroll down there would not be blacked out members. So annoying.

I'm proud of my nick and no way would I agree to have same names in RR - like what buster said, takes the fun out of knowing who you are fighting. Ofc as sentinel even if I have a generic name people would know who I am since I'm always first on the list haha. And if u beat me or any so called good players, good for u. No one is invincible in this rock paper scissors game. Just need proper scouting and right elements setup and u r good to go.

Do I want a name lock? Sure since it annoys me to see Thatzmes running around, but to pay gems to change, well I do not think it's feasible, and besides multiple people with same name, who would win the claim to be the original one. Would be one hell of a nightmare for Gree to implement that.

Exactly, even before guild war I saw over fifty gandalfs, who's to say their game should be impinged on. Especially an RPG guild thY doesn't care about PvP

But in many other games, names are original and can't be changed. Not saying this is the end all be all, but... its annoying to have a bunch of copied names going around.

I used to go by Buster, but joined a friends server in WoW, and guess what was taken? Buster... so I had to come up with something new (add the Oaf) Do most people still call me Buster? Sure, but there's some d!ck somewhere out there with an un-leveled toon that I could be using. But, I can't.

Also, if you are interested in RP, then guess what, you can't have 50 Gandalfs anyway. A little originality is key. Gandalf, Gandolf, Gandolph, Gandulf, Gandolff... Hey, guess what, it all sounds the same but at least you're different.

Same as the forums. You want someone copying your name and your signature and posting things on behalf of you? Oh wait, that wasn't you? How would I know if you're all the same name? Why does the forum make us chose different names and not the game?

[Paladineguru]

It avoids drama :-)
