Rename equips

[U. Dye]

I ran this idea by Kija(well, the whole server, really) and Kija said to put it here, so I will:

We should be able to rename our equipment whenever we want after we buy it.

Think about it: this game takes place in the Middle Ages, and in all those stories with magical weapons and stuff, weapons were usually named, right? Just think: did King Arthur(or whoever it was) wield the mighty "Bastard Sword" or whatever the hell kind of sword it was? No, he did not! He wielded the mighty "Excaliber"!

And that's all I've got to say about that.

[Hiroshima]

he was also a king, you, are not ;D but i like the idea

[U. Dye]

I may not be King, but I AM Master... Level Master!

[Taterz]

um i though the sword was already named as the lady of the lake was the one who lent it to him to use (he gave it back cause he couldnt pay late fees)

i'd name my sword WTFPWNED just cause its cool

[Takahashi]

I'd rather not give people the ability to name their weaponry and armor after various bodily functions or other crude terminology... which would happen in at least one case.

[Hiroshima]

and knowing the THG society....many cases, as well, don't be TO arrogant now Dye >.> (cause that's how ya sound )

[U. Dye]

Shouldn't be too hard to apply the word filter to the new names...

Besides, who the hell would know who named their equips what? Not like we can hack each other to see each other's inventories. Only way anyone would know who named what to what would be if they said something (this would be the part where, if the name is inappropriate, something could get done about it).

And Hiro, are you saying I haven't earned it? I've got a Knight about to hit L.60, and a WM who's gonna hit L.62 before that! (Besides that, Kija and Reap didn't say anything about it when I coined the term Level Master...)

[Caoineag]

Can't say as I see the point of it, since the bearer is the only one who would see the name change. Couldn't they just think of, and refer to, their weapon by whatever name?

No matter what you call it, it's still the same thing; is it problematic to see it inventoried only by its "type" as opposed to the "name" you decide upon?

Eh, whatever. I can sort of understand the desire for more unique weapons, but in the end I doubt that'd be the result. Wonder how many Excaliburs, Masamunes, Muramasas, Soul Edges, Master Swords, Stormbringers, Caladbolgs, etc. there'd be.

and, if no one sees it..whats the point...

Well, unless we put something in to show off weapon names, there's really no way for other people to see what you named it.

And I think we should allow players to name their weapons whatever they want, as long as it's not offensive and dosen't contain major swear words.

I wouldn't mind having a sword named "U Dye's mom" or "Wtf pwn".... or "Internets."

[Jumin]

if we were able to name our equips, would the name stick, or will we be able to change it? Or will we need to ask a BH to help change it? also, if this were to be implemented, would we be forced to pick a name?

[Kyou]

Mett, you know you'd name any weapon of yours "O RLY" dont lie.

And what is a Blackbelt supposed to do? Name his knuckles? I'm sorry but whenever guys give their hands a name or two ... its usually ... uh ... for private uses.

[Jumin]

lol.. mett's scabbard is gonna be named O RLY?!
then SHING! out comes YA RLY! lol

[Taterz]

Name his knuckles?

do what moe did:

GUY: Are you here with your kids?
MOE: Yea, his name is Screw, and he's You. (kisses fists)

Rename his armor... What little he has...

[Sarm]

Or let people rename skills/spells too.

Seriously though...unless you change battlle messages to say "U Dye attacks (Monster) with (Weapon) (number of times) for (number) damage", there would be little point. Even then that's pretty wordy and would probably cause text clutter in the chat box.

You could just make it similar to how some skills are done. Like:

Kain -- Pointy Stick
Kain >> Lawn Gnome(N) --- Q hits XYZ damage

Or:

Kain -- Pointy Stick >> Geriatric(N) --- Q hits XYZ damage

[U. Dye]

I think Kain may be onto something.

Just a thought, but perhaps something could someday be implemented where you can click on someone to see some of their stats(Level, Class, HP, MP, equips, etc.), and it could come into play.

[Ambush Magnet]

Like an adavanced version of the Who command?

[areon]

He's referring to something SoE used to have, but the problem was that you could have a message pop up when they did it. And well people spammed in that but it was quite fun while it lasted, though I don't know why they took it away.

[U. Dye]

...I didn't know SoE had that...

Maybe you could do something like a window popping up that shows the info about that person.
