Please let us spend Platinum to rename Lotus

[trivialCipher]

I understand why others are opposed to the possibility. No need to comment 'they said in The New War that it's permanent.'

I believe Warframe excels most in it's modularity and customization. Potentially the best on the entire video game market. The fact that you can choose to rework nearly every facet of your account whenever you please is a large part of what I love most about this incredible game. Warframes can be rebuilt, colored, and accessorized in an infinite amount of ways. Permanently deleting a Warframe through Helminth still leaves you with a choice to build a new, identical Frame to replace it. You can even swap your Operator's Voice and Gender on a whim. (Thank you for that, btw. It took many radical changes before I found my favorite Operator design.)

This customizability is even extended to the appearance of Lotus herself. Swapping her skins and colors as easily as any other portion of the game. This is why I find it a strange and uncharacteristic of Digital Extremes to suddenly draw a hard line in the sand on something as important to daily gameplay as Lotus's name. If the selected name is going to appear in nearly every mission we perform for the rest of our lifetime on the account, I personally feel like it would greatly increase quality of life for many players if they were able to more surgically edit this feature to fit their liking, just like every other piece of Warframe already allows.

I'd happily pay 1,000 plat for this. I'd pay any amount DE deems sufficient. It's just strange to me that the option to customize is completely lacking. I fully understand that the devs' intention was probably to give this decision great finality and lore ramifications. However, lore-heavy quests are a one-day event that takes place once, perhaps twice a year. As an avid player, all this choice has done is negatively impact my game. I made an impulsive decision, I regretted my actions immediately after, and nearly every day I'm playing I'm regretting not going with a different name. (My mistake is always right there, on the left side of my screen, in every mission) There's a lot of personal stuff behind the curtain of my life that's bolstering the terrible feelings surrounding Lotus's name, but I won't go into detail on that here. I'm just saying with full sincerity that I wouldn't be making a thread like this on the feedback forum if this negativity wasn't so severe that I'm considering quitting Warframe.

Thanks for your time~

you just can switch on spoiler mode in options. The name appearing will be lotus. maybe that helps.

Darn. That would've been perfect had it not been the name I'd selected. Glad to hear that solution is out there for some people, but I wish I could rename her to 'Natah.'

Thanks a bunch for the info though~

Ah dang. worth a try. maybe open a ticket to support and explain your situation. Maybe they are willing to help if u tell them you have personal reasons. Give it a shot at least :) 

Wishing you best of luck with the request!

Considering that it's literally just one piece of text that only we see personally (unlike weapon names), it shouldn't even be necessary to pay to change it. Very weird to make it permanent.

I'm absolutely terrified of what people will come up with......

But agreed people should be able to.

Heck, I'd be fine with simply being allowed to swap between the 3 pre-existing titles.

Honestly, I don't see the point of making that a permanent choice. It's not like it has any real consequence beyond a cosmetic element and we can already change her appearance at will anyway.

I believe it had minor dialogue changes for the Zariman quest that followed it. But, if anything, letting people change their choice for Lotus could add some replay value for people who'd like to see what these differences in dialogue are.

Just wanted to reply and second this. I actually stopped playing because of regretting my decision lol. Does anyone know if creator mode also changes it so the minor changes in the zariman quest and elsewhere use the lotus "persona" for lack of a better word? I might start playing again if that was the case.
