So yeah, OOO, here is an another money making method. One year ago, i played a game called dead frontier ( surprisingly, it is less "pay to win" than SK ), the chore in the game is to kill alot of zombies and lvl up and get good guns and so on.... so the point is, the players can name their weapons and gears with unique names, of course, the unique name costs RL money. So yeah, if u guys apply that to SK, we will be able to name our favourite weapons or armor with unique names. Weapons with 3~2 max/ultra UVs will now be named by their users with all sorts of names, this way, u guys(OOO) will get alot more money. And hopefully i can get some new content....

I know, u may argue that the unique name is pointless since not many knights can see it, but plz hear this, OOO will sure come up with way for everyone in the clockworks to know about these weapons with unique names

nope.

imagine LD. I'm taking the names I can imagine:
you were defeated with:
the over power (brandish series-sudaruska/triglav)
you're noob (any weapon)
*any other insult* (any weapon)

practically, the 80% of the times would be trolling or insulting.

@Thunder-The-Bright

People can already name their Knights trolling or insulting names, what's the difference?

the killed by thing.

and the fact that you can ban a player name, and that cannot be chosen again, but weapons could be named all the same, so it's 9000 people to ban, that would require time ect. if you implement a limitation like the players, there will be whines like "y I can't name my weapon like my dog" ect.

There can easily be a blacklist that names get added to every time someone is reported for having an offensive weapon name. Trying to name your weapon that name would return an error.

Don't shoot ideas down just because you think they might be ruined by trolls. Think of ways to make them troll-proof. That is how you keep positive.

mmm

I ususally am positive, but after encountering 4 noobs at RJP, I am rather stressed. ah well. going in calm mode in a couple of hours.
anyway, you made me think : there is a filter for names, right?

Well, you know how there's a system on character creation that blocks you from creating your knight if that knight name already exists? Have the same system check knights attempting to submit a name for their weapon against a blacklist of all reported weapon names.

my 2 cents

Someone has played too much Loadout...

It isn't a bad thing though... but Loadout doesn't have censoring unlike SK...

On a side note: The french censoring is pretty bad... pretty much like any other language that isn't English -_-
