I am super picky, too – but you just have to keep looking.
I have even re-rolled a few alts a few times because I ended up not liking their names. What are your goals for a name ? Do you care about fitting into the lore of the game ?
I will say – the naming “restrictions” forced me to think outside the box and get creative and I’m really happy with the results. I know based on a lot of the first names I tried to pick that my first choices were pretty awful. All the really obvious names being taken was really a good thing – it made me actually think about what I was going to name them instead of being the 689th Brunhilde or whatever.
If you want any links to websites or help, let us know.
I think we should be able to use our Account name in things like Guild chat – I have too many alts and don’t expect people to keep track of them all. :P
Great response. I would actually love help + websites, but I also don’t think I should expect someone to suddenly come up with what I’d like. You know?
Also, I don’t really care for following Lore when naming my characters.
I was just looking for a Warrior name I’d like, but then out of boredom I made a Thief Charr and I was having fun just slicing at the beginning area. Although I don’t think I will play a Charr, as in my fantasy world I wanna be a person. x)
But yeah, I am currently looking to name a Warrior and a Thief. I have used the site that was mentioned earlier here, and I think it has a lot of cool names, but nothing really clicked in my mind.
Wow that Alt+click, thanks for the information! I kinda wanted to reach where i need to go by exploring and I had such a hard time trying to do this. Thanks.
To the other guy, name-wise I’ll just play it dull and call (say my Necromancer) Tomer Necromancer and do the same for all classes I choose to play. I’m fine with that.
It’s not that I don’t think of good ones, it’s really only that I can’t suddenly like names just because they sound cool at that moment. So Diablo 3 was just an example that I could just name all my charactes after my own name and solve it like that. In that free MMO I play sometimes, I could be not playing for a whole week just because I didn’t find a name I wanna stick with.
Also I didn’t know you can convert Gold to Gems, so this makes the game and the company look even better. I hope by the end of tonight I’m hooked on GW 2.
But yeah maybe I didn’t read everything you said aswell so it’s on both of us…
Sorry.
I’ll just go ahead and play the game because this is evidently the way to find out for myself… As for In-Game naming… I’ll just do something like… Tomer(my name) ’Class’s name’ . That way I don’t need to re-think unique stuff if I wanna play something else.
Thanks for the comment. I guess this is better then chewing on the subject. I’ll go ahead and pull an all-nighter today playing a Warrior.
Last thing:
I chose a server which has Medium popularity becasue I assume this means no lag for me.
Will it it be better to make my characters in one that are more populated?
I really just want the best experience.
So I would like to first note that this is absolutely Not a rant. It is more like venting my on silliness, I guess..
Just so you understand where I’m coming from, I played a free to play MMO that requires moving with the arrow keys and binding skills on keyboard, totally mouse free.
But as you know, free-2-play is usually pay-2-win which between the lines is actually pay-2-not win but self found is impossible if you want to get anything great.
Suddenly I remembered Diablo 2, and started playing it again. Took me about a week to beat the game and it was just great, totally forgot about that MMO.
But as you know, sh** gets old, so I got Diablo 3. For those of you who haven’t actually experienced D3, this is my own comparison:
Diablo 2 is like the first Iron Man movie from 2008
Diablo 3 is like the first Thor movie from 2011
The first is just great, the second is good but stays solid to a fifth of what you’d expect to see/experience.
So, la dida dida… I am kinda bored out of my mind and I see these reviews about Guild Wars 2 and I even go ahead and google “diablo 3 vs guild wars 2” and 80% of all feedback points at Guild Wars 2 as a great game.
So far so good, right? Well, I am used to either playing only with my keyboard, or mainly with the mouse.
Anyhow, less then 24 hours ago I go ahead and purchase Guild Wars 2 from here instead of like that other site which is legit and has 20% off. Now I kind of regret it.
You see, when I got Diablo 3, sure at the end we are all like ’ :/ ’ but you are hooked from the get-go for atleast a good week.
Usually if I actually purchase a game (alot of you know what I’m saying) I expect myself to not wanna stop playing it. But now what? The free MMO is open beside this window and I am really unhappy about that.
Let me just tell you exactly what prevents me from playing and exploring the game, ok?
1. I understand most people would think that a silly silly thing but for me the (maybe) more important feature of customization is being able to choose what ever In-Game-Name I desire. In Diablo 2 I play 100% legit, I’d only use a third-party software if I wanted to change my Single-Player characters’ name. In Diablo 3 I didn’t think about that but happily I could even name everything after myself which is great. I like that.
But here, I feel forced to choose something that I do not like. As much as " The Lord Of Fury/Wrath / Paqadin / Warriorq " looks ok for a second, I ended up re-making most of my characters like a dumb-@$$ without passing LV.2
Maybe I have a problem, but this is very important to me. I can’t see how I’m gonna solve this one.
2. The way the game is played.
I feel like I gotta walk with W,S,A,D , use the mouse for camera (usually right click to be able to move somewhat normally for me) and then try bashing 1-2-3 etc and it doesn’t feel at all fluid. Now I know you’ll tell me I just gotta get into it. I believe you.
What about the map? At LV.2 on my first character, I was told to go somewhere which was like 2 lands away ,and I couldn’t even mark it on the map to follow. You can imagine how annoying this gets that I try to force exploring just to find a path I can take. And Where ever I go, the map tells me to go else where (missions nearby).
So guys, I am nothing if not open minded. I honestly wanna spend 1000+ hours on this game. Why I am typing everything is because sometimes stuff gets worse if you don’t say anything, and I certainly do not want to let my digital copy of GW2 collect dust right after I buy it.
