Default Changing my heroes names!
A post like this was probably posted yesterday. lol

I would like to change my heroes names just like you can do with ranger pets. IT would give a little more uniqueness in the game.

I say why not ? Great idea. Are we supposed to believe that everyones pet has the same name, so why not heroes. Not everyones warrior has to be named "Koss".

Yes, and then every time you re-name a Hero, the voice actors can go through and re-do all the cutscenes.

/notsigned for obvious reasons.

And if you can't figure out why, I'm sure that Jora can explain to you better than I why she wouldn't want to be renamed "honey-buns" or some such non-sense.

sure why not, but they arent going to do a small thing like this, not now anyway although like MStarfire said they would most certainly not do this due to having to spend more money on actors and how will they know what your gonna name, and kook i would love to have my jora named honey-buns, she'll be awsome

/not signed. This would screw up the campaigns too much IMO. A lot of cinematics have the names of some heroes in them, and everything would have to be changed. it'd be nice to have, but too much work.

/notsigned only because it would screw up the cutscenes.

It would be nice to name:

Koss -> Bucky
Anton -> Homer
Pyre Fierceshot -> Lenny
Jora -> Tamatha
Talhkora -> Victoria

Hm... I'm not against changing the name of the heroes when you go though certain parts of the plot:

- Tahlkora: Princess Tahlkora (After beating Tihark ORchard)
- Master of Whispers: Jura (After beating Daznogur Bastion)
- Magrid the Sly: Magrid Godslayer (After beating Gate of Desolation with her).

But manually change them? NO!

That might have worked. Too late for it now though.

Changing hero names freely just isn't workable. Imagine being the Anet employee who would have to moderate all that crap.

from my programming knowledge, I'd assume that those names are hard-coded. Along with the other problems already brought up, it just wouldn't be feasible.

Nice Idea. Although the cutscene is a problem. So here's my solution to this suggestion:

Solution 1: Follow what MithranArkanere said. After missions you can have the name changed to certain (spoiler related) names.

Solution 2: Can only change "side" hero names. (i.e. Jin, Anton, Razah, etc)

Solution 3: Names only change for Explorable Areas and Missions, NOT cutscenes and quests (this one is iffy, but allows every hero to be changed)

/signed only because I want to rename gwen as Queen of Darkness, or some other old nickname for gwen created by the beta end

^ This. Additionally, it'd be cool to have the option to turn our own characters into heroes that can fight alongside our other characters, but that's another idea that I wouldn't discuss here.

/signed for name change through plot, /notsigned to manual changes.
