A changeable clan tag would be ideal. Leave it independent of your name/code. I shouldn't have to buy a new account if I want to affiliate myself with some group or another. This would obviously be included in name changes if allowed since you could just tack it on to the front of your name. But I'm willing to concede to Blizzard if they want us having a consistent identity, if they will throw us the bone of being able to easily identify a group/clan/team.
You'll never get better being an angry nerd sitting alone in your room.

The reason blizzard isn't implementing these new features is pretty simple. In order to not destroy the SC2 metagame they can't release much actual content in the two expansions, so instead they hold back on out of game features that they will add to the expansions to encourage people to buy them.

It is worth noting that several things on that list were not in B.net when it launched. I imagine they will add stuff as they go just like with SC1.


It's also worth noting, starcraft 2 is a sequel to that previous product, so that stuff should be standard. Yes they are adding stuff.. but it's been a year and all we've had is a half assed chat system integration They've got 2 more sequels to go.. if they want people to buy them they should listen to their customer base, not ignore them, especially when stuff like name changes is an afternoons work at best for one of the interns and increases the value of the product for everyone playing, not to mention at this point a good will gesture to the player base.



Well its not like they could just take that stuff and plug it in to SC2. I imagine they wanted to get the game out as fast as possible so they released it at 'good enough and we will patch the rest'. And I am fine with that. They wanted my money and I wanted their game. Now as far as how long its taking them to patch stuff in? I agree it is getting silly.

I'm not really sure where I stand on the idea of a paid name change, but I definitely support the ability to be able to change your name or add clan tags in general. Personally I think it should be an option for everyone regardless of their stats or standing within the actual game. I mean really, it's just a name change. Stuff like score keeping and stats and stuff can easily be applied to the actual account, and not the specific name.

It would be nice to be able to represent a clan you've created even if you're not a huge, big time professional player.

I think the fact that the paid name change service was promised as "coming soon" has made the community not to vocal about it. I believe it was just expected sooner or later (though i guess sooner is not really an option anymore).

I want this service ASAP!!!!

Was it an actual name change service that was listed as coming soon or was it just the ability to change your name a second time? I never really checked.

I can't believe we as a community is so desperate that we're willing to pay for namechanges when it should be a feature available for free.

If they added a clan tag feature that lets you put on a tag for free, I would be seriously interested in that. As for the name change, I don't know really. It would be cool, but if there was a separate clan tag system, I don't think it would be necessary for me.
I hate when people compare SC2 and rochambeu. One race isn't fucking supposed to counter another one. | Protoss isn't OP. Their units on the other hand....

This is so freaking stupid on Blizzards behalf words fail me. It never occured to them that the reason why people have not used there one free name is because they only have one free name change?

Its this kinda "I only look at excel spreadsheets" design methodology that is really leading me to believe that blizzard is falling completely out of touch with there playerbase.

Agreed, it should be free. We have to pay for name change? Face palm.

Exactly. The concept of paying for it is ridiculous. The ability to add a clan tag should definitely be included as well, in my opinion, and if you had to pay for that I would just shake my head sadly.

Honestly the problem with Blizzard is they have so many little things that just show how much they want all your money.

personally, I'm leaning more and more against free name changes....I noticed that, after the one free change was allowed, literally HALF of my friendslist changed

and since I have quite a lot of people on the list with whom I just play the occasional game once a week, it was really beyond annoying to figure out who is who again. I even had to make a frickin list for that.

Nevertheless I'm completely in favour of a clan-tag-system. Once again, this is something warcraft 3 already had, but I guess it's too much to ask to "update" bnet 2.0 so it contains all the features of bnet 1....

haven't several good reasons to "not have free name-change" been presented already?

the main one being: "it would make it very much more difficult to track people, cheaters, smurfs, etc. if they can switch names whenever they want."

I'm saving my name change in case I get picked up by OGS or liquid.

Track people? Stalking is none of your business. Track cheaters? Reports are tied to accounts, not names (which admit to duplicates), and that's handled by Blizzard. Track smurfs? Changing your name doesn't give you a clean slate on the ladder, what's the difference?

You weren't close to the people anyway, it sounds more like your friends list was just too crowded to begin with. You wouldn't have noticed if the free name change had been in the game since the beginning and they hadn't changed names all in one wave. That is, the problem for you wasn't the existence of the feature (which is the status quo in any real game), but its delayed introduction.

Yeah agreed, I like the concept of "known" players and recognizable names that don't change frequently. A clan tag system is needed though for players who switch teams.

Wanting a clan support in the game, and wanting to change your name are two different things. For that reason I think the poll is badly constructed. If I vote "yes" it's gonna look like I want name change system in the game.
Sometimes the best defense is an insane offense.

The thing is, if they add clan tag support now, we'll have names like "EG.Liquid'Huk". lol

"A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position." -Source Wikipedia

How would this be worse than the theoretical paid name change with a timer? Couldn't someone pay and do the exact same thing? The issue then is the nature of the timer, and not, free/paid as many other people have already said.
