CaptainChaotica Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Until we can, a workaround is to make a sign saying "Home of (Name) the (Pet Type)". Not perfect, but hey, anyone who reads the sign knows what your pet's name is! ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanFridge Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Mine tends to be called either Crafty or Scrappy the Vargling. His real name I have yet to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtollerOfTrolls Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think certain words should be banned, though. I mean, I don't really want to come to a server and find a vargling named "V****na" greeting me. People will find a way around that, but banning it directly is better than nothing.

I don't mind a kittycoon called "Arm", either. Even if it is a naked arm. On the other "hand", there is total freedom for players names, I have 200+ people in my friends list and I can count with the fingers of one hand the times I've seen annoying or uneducated nicknames on my 10+ years using Steam. Maybe you have not been as lucky as me, but I can't remember the last time I saw someone with some genitalia reference on his nickname. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the system would work better than Steam. You can report offensive nicks as often as you want and nothing changes. Oet names would be fun. No idea if Klei has time for this, but whenever they can... Now, beefalos would be more pressing so that you can state which is getting domesticated into which variant. Pets despawn with the player, beefalos look pretty identical. BUT! My priority is naming tentacles. So that I don't get to mourn my Wilfred as Jane Doe.

ExtollerOfTrolls Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Gee, and I can't wait to name all those Treeguards who follow me back to base. Leif, and Leif, and Leif, and the other Leif, and their brother, Douglas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is gonna be such a serious problem. People were always to name themselves whatever they want or write on signs or in chat whatever they want but I never really saw any trouble happening with that.

PillsStealer Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 They should add pet collar. Once we get a collar, we can use a feather pen to create the name and then attach it to the pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainChaotica Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Nah, the tradition around my server is that the treeguards have really common boring names. Steve, Bob, Dave etc. So when you see a neutral one wandering around, you're like, "Hey Steve. 'Sup." : P (You can blame our own Kittydub for that one...I think she's the one who started it. Hee.) As for pets with offensive names...sure, it can happen, but so far I've hardly run into any users with bad names, so I'm thinking it might turn out to be about the same rarity for pets...? We'll see if/when we get there. Also totally up for a mod that lets you name them. ...Notorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minespatch Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 If they can implement a system similar to how Bunnymen and Pigmen have names, it could be possible for this to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's already a "named" component perfectly suitable for this, and with "OnLoadPostPass" it should be possible to save and load names just fine. The biggest problem imo is making the collar write- and givable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you could name your pet Rock Lobster that. But Rock Lobsters don't follow you above ground in DST... I mean, I think a collar is a good idea. I guess I shouldn't be so quick to judge. My comment was a bit uncalled for, and I apologize. The DST crowd is pretty friendly, but I used to play TF2 and it gets kinda exhausting with them. Maybe they could have a list of prearranged names suggested by users? You get a while to submit names, and the staff sorts through them, and one gets randomly picked for the pet, similar to the pigmen having random names?

AlbertDelRiver Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Am I the only one here who noticed two kitchen related categories clashing together in a forum? I doubt the developers will add name tags, I mean it's just a pet. I don't even know why pets were added in first place, they contribute absolutely nothing to the gameplay, other than eating your food and the items required to summon them.

Oh right, the only cool thing in DS world is being Wolfgang and looking for items that make you stronker every day. You can also play the game on 16 colours so it works better and you don't have to deal with the fancy aesthetic changes from different seassons and times of the day. Or even better, just play it on black & white and delete all NPC (and playable characters) skins so the only thing you see is boxes of different sizes with their numeric info and no other unuseful data coming into your eyes. Ok, now for the serious reader: pets have had names forever in all kind of games and it was always a really cool feature for these players who want to use it. Why would you even bother about a feature you don't use? There is people who enjoy their cute noisy unuseful pets! hard to believe, huh? And no one of these players will force you to use them too. And yeah, many pets in the world have a name even when these are "just a pet". So it's a fair suggestion and a more than possible feature to be added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
