Assign names to the other players

Postby Binoz » Fri Aug 28, 2009 1:57 pm

When i met someone in the game i always have to say "hello i'm Binoz, who are you?" and it's silly. It would be funny to have the possibility to right click on a player and give him a name (doesn't matter if it is the real name). Names could be invisibile if the character wear an hooded dress or something that hides the face, like a mask.

Another good thing you could do, is implement a kind of diary showing all the past speech-bubble conversations, flushed every time you logout (it could be a client-side feature).

Except it's not *supposed* to be like that.

Tagging people or other means of recognition have been discussed before,
but I can't remember, nor believe, that a conclusion was ever reached.
It has a rather low priority right now, and we won't be seeing it anytime soon.

i think this would be quite a nice feature. i find it quite annoying to always rightclick/chat everybody especially since there are like 3 different types of clothes and everybody looks the same.

or just tag everybody by default and invent some "incognito" skill (maybe based on stealth) that tags you with a random name.

Shouldn't the ability to identify other people be a very high priority in a MMO, especially one like this where the emphasis is on people cooperating in communities, and where there is no character customization so everyone looks exactly the same? More than new beers and cheeses anyway. :P

The ability to even see the names of people in your party would be great, it was hell running the newbie drive without the ability to identify anyone.
