And then you could counter it by swapping in your Shiro and Varesh mini-pets. "No! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again, SIR!"

I was playing with ACTION FIGURES, not dolls!

Gosh!

Personally I think you need to look at this thing objectively which is what everyone else here is doing. You get people who take it seriously and you get the I'm wielding a Fiery LEETZOR HAXZORIOXZOR of Fortitude people.

IMO customization should make a Furious Gladius of Fortitude into Pan Gammon's Gladius etc.........

I could name my reefclaw's refuge michelle! (me shell?) haha aha ha...

EDIT: yea its a shield, i know.

It'd be nice to be able to customize them too

Sophitia Leafblade · Nov 16, 2006, 12:20 PM // 12:20

I would love to be able to Rename my bow: "The Bow of Justice" or my axe "Heidi's ThunderAxe of Hate"

i do agree it would be an ace idea, but i also agree you will get those annoying spammers, perhaps they could add an anti spam thing for weopons, like u can only say its equiped 1 every 30 seconds or so, they would reduce it quite a bit but it wouldnt stop the problem, banning some preset names or parts of names would but i dont know its thats something Anet could do.

MDeshame · Nov 16, 2006, 04:30 PM // 16:30

No thanks.

Lets not give the jack @sses in the game something else to spam the crap out of while in game.

It's bad enough that everyone spams their weapon set in game, can you imagine the heathens naming their weapons "Up in Ya", "I put my Schwartz", "You Suxxors", "My 1337 Longsword of Pwnage" and then having the children draw genitilia on the minimap while spaming their weapon sets and getting something like You suxxors, my l337 londsword or pwnage, while I put my schwartz up in ya!

Sophitia Leafblade · Nov 16, 2006, 04:38 PM // 16:38

what if they got rid of the call my weopon ability since now taht u can call builds its of no real use cause u can tell a persons weopon type generally by there build the only thing the call my weopon feature does is allow people to show off there green weopons, speaking highly generalised there ofc. But that would allow this interesting feature to work nicly wouldnt it?

Thom Bangalter · Nov 16, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

All my weapons are getting named "your mom". Because as someone else noted, then I'd be wielding your mom.

Xenolord · Nov 18, 2006, 05:46 AM // 05:46

This has been stated above:

But, as a kind of trade off for naming your weapon, the game disables Weapon Calling. That way you can't spam "I'm wielding <Insert Weapon Name Here>" Fifty million times, or:

Or you could put a heavy limit on how many times you can call it. (Like once every two hours.) That way you can still call out your weapon if someone wanted to know what you had. Or:

Or, you could always do what they did with names. Have a list of words which cannot be included. Just make it ring an alarm whenever certain key words (I E "Mom", "1337", Pwnzorzingness") And it tells you "Hey, stupid. Can't do that." Or:

You could always do a combination of options Three and Two.

That's overkill. I say they should reinstate the old spam limit and apply it to calling as well. Two birds with one stone: Call spam reduced and idiot trade spam reduced

t3hmeperson · Nov 18, 2006, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Why not instead of allowing people to completely name their weapons themselves, allow them to choose from a list of words and prefixes and stuff. So someone could name their sword like "Corrupted Spatha of Justice." Maybe also allow people to put their name in front of the weapon, giving something like "X Sparticus X's Corrupted Spatha of Justice."

The Pointless · Nov 18, 2006, 07:32 PM // 19:32

I was thinking the same, but my idea was more complicated. I think yours might be too limiting. If the wordset is small then people could still have weapons with the same name...

Lexar · Nov 18, 2006, 09:14 PM // 21:14

I'm wielding a toothbrush and a spoon!

yeah it takes away even more from the rpg immersion in guildwars.. /unsigned

shardfenix · Nov 18, 2006, 11:11 PM // 23:11

I think Anet's gonna stick with the strrefs for now. They can't have items use strrefs, then switch to a local variable when you customize it. It's a programming headache.

Sorry, the only reason I can see someone wanting this implemented is so they can ctrl click the damn stupid name they came up with all the time...pointless.

FelixCarter · Nov 19, 2006, 10:36 AM // 10:36

Lol. I suggested a "Personalization Shop" ealier sometime ago. Same idea. Yet somehow different.

I always wanted a sword named "Deepercut" or a healing staff named "The Inner Light"

Smokindan · Nov 19, 2006, 10:48 AM // 10:48

I think personal names are a bad idea myself. But a better trade off for customization would be different mods such as energy gains, health or some such.

Feme Assassin · Nov 19, 2006, 11:05 AM // 11:05

hmm i would name my fire staff cheese sandwich or meatball

kang · Nov 20, 2006, 06:29 AM // 06:29

Simple way of getting rid of the calling problem.

I'm wielding a customised fellblade.

only show the name in the inventory and in the trade menu

People spam their current weapons anyway. If you try to idiot-proof everything you'll drive yourself mad.
