RoninJed Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I see no real reason why we shouldn't be able to change our kubrows names. I would think this would be simple for DE to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaytanic93 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) How often do you change the name of your pets IRL? How often do you pay to change your own name IRL?

Morec0 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 How often do you pay to change your own name IRL? Depends on how many laws you've broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liminal Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Or at the very least, tell us the type of kubrow before we have to pick a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure.M Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 How often do you change the name of your pets IRL? IRL I don't breed loads of pets trying to get the perfect combination of traits and throw the ones that aren't pretty enough into space leaving the one I end up keeping stuck with a number for a name forever.

Don_T_Shoot Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) How often do you change the name of your pets IRL? Anyone who has owned a cat knows that the answer ranges from eventually to often. They start off with names and eventually become kitty, or get a new nickname every year or so depending. At any rate, you get to name your pets after you've gotten to know them. Rarely does the humane society force you to select a name before entering the building.

Rakosta_Kai Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Who changes their cat's name? It happens.... If they are given/sold to you by previous owners and the names don't fit your expectations. We were gifted strays named Han and Chewie... Those names got changed. One of those strays was pregnant ( we didn't know) and the resulting kittens were named First, Second, and Third in order to avoid attachments until we could find them homes.

Tsukinoki Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I assume the idea makes one of the DBAs at DE very, very grumpy. Honestly it shouldn't make them grumpy in any way: The names of the kubrow are not forced to be unique (I've seen 3 'reginold' kubrows in the same mission, and have a friend where all of his Kubrow have the same name), meaning that the name isn't a key in the table, therefore it should be able to be just as changeable as a color scheme or mod-loadout. Its not like we're asking to change to the guid that identifies them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewell Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 How often do you change the name of your pets IRL? Actually I changed all my pet's names once. My two dogs are rescues. The shelter gave them names, but we changed them after we adopted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Educated_Beast Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 All my Kubrows have the same exact name and stay in the same ice chest. The latest boosts to Kubrows was not enough for me to use. Remove all maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoninJed Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 How often do you change the name of your pets IRL? What does that have to do with me naming a pet in a video game? If this DE's reason why we can't change our kubrows names then that's just stupid. Oh and I really don't think it should cost any platinum to change our kubrows names either. Just make it credits or something because everything dealing with kubrows cost enough already in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)B0XMAN517 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 At the bare minimum we should be able to name our pets after they have matured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Bowjangelz Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 How often do you change the name of your pets IRL? How often do you have to name your pet before you know what it is? Or at the very least, tell us the type of kubrow before we have to pick a name. Please! What breed, height, and build. IRL I don't breed loads of pets trying to get the perfect combination of traits and throw the ones that aren't pretty enough into space leaving the one I end up keeping stuck with a number for a name forever.

muzashi1963 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) My Cat's Name History: 7 week Kitten: Kitty, Hope. 4 month kitten: Hope, damn cat 1 yr old cat: Hope, damn cat, %^^&ing cat 2 yr old cat: Your damn cat 4 yr old cat: Your @&*^ing cat 6 yr old cat: Tree fertilizer (no i have not buried it, it's what i call it) So yeah, you should be able to change your Virtual Pet's name. why not?

SlyKon Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I agree, there is no real decent reason why this cant be done. For a picky sod like me, changing my kubrows name would be great! x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxswatelitexx Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I see no real reason why we shouldn't be able to change our kubrows names. I would think this would be simple for DE to add. Because of all the inbreeding which occurs inside a Kuroburow den ( The same reason why eggs or so rare, and the reason why they such a bad genetic makeup ) they unfortunately have a horrific memory. If you name them anything else, they will totally lose their _ _ _ _. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yechnagoth Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Still nothing on this? You could just throw in a limit like, say, you can only change the name 2 times or something if you don't want people changing all the time. Or perhaps a time limit after the kubrow matures to rename it, like a week or so. Would at least be much better than nothing.

Faustus Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Or moving the naming point to where they are adults an you know they deserve a real cool name... or be "send to Lotus" (this world version of "sending a pet to a farm") Edited February 27, 2016 by Faustus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In many cases, you're completely right, but I know in my experience that I've currently got three dogs, only 1 of which obeys and comes to you when you say his name, while the other two seem to only notice you're talking about them...sometimes. It's gotten to the point that they'll respond to dog, you, pup and various versions thereof, I think it's all to do with how they're raised, but that's just my feelings. On the matter of Kubrow though, I personally feel it could be changed constantly for 2 reasons: 1) As several have stated, the name doesn't serve any real purpose. It's not run through a huge database so we have to have names like Dogmeat22kkx3 or the like, they're seemingly done entirely so the players have some aspect of attachment to them. And 2) They hardly listen to us as it is, no matter what we call them (my chesa will happily play keep away with me and instead deliver items to enemies...dunno why) so they could hypothetically do away with the naming system altogether and be fine.
