Nicknames and clan tags in QW?


(meewosh47) #1

I have few important questions about nicknames to SD.

#1 In QW you will have to register nickname on account yes? Tell me how it works with ppl who want to play in clans. Do they have to create nick with tag or it is an option to add clan tag and change it after some time?

#2 Is it able to colour nickname and tag?

#3 How many nick we will be able to register on normal version ( not preorder or collection )?

Hello,

You can not change your nick ingame. You can only add/remove/edit a clan tag and/or the colours.

i wonder if my nick is already taken, would colouring it make it unique .d

doubt that…

A few more questions:

  1. Are spaces allowed for the nickname and clantag?
  2. Are chars like _ * # ’ [ ] ^ etc. allowed?
  3. Can the clantag be set behind the nickname?

For example my nickname with clantag:
Berzerkr (GER)|#WolfMap.de

that stinks then, you can’t change your in game name? How about creating another profile? In Wolf ET, sometimes I use one name, or when I feel like playing a certain style, like using luger only, I change my name to L00gErz.

This is tricky… Still I like the idea of it. I must think of a good new nickname no one will ever use… Using GremliN right now, but it’s taken everywhere…

You can create 3 accounts with one CD-Key

This account thing should be alot better than ET’s no-account method, this way banned players stay banned, unlike in ET. Well atleast on our server they keep coming back, dunno if there’s some more powerful methods of banning.

An IP ban solves that problem.

So 3 nicknames per account, that is good to know. Its not like this for easier banning; its important for the global stats they decided to implement. Now, let me guess, this means people are going to camp to get a higher Kill/Death ratio and then brag on public forums about how awsum!!1 they are, right? :roll: :lol:

No.

An IP is easily changed. Hardware ban is a tad harder to get around but still beatable. Account ftw


(SKaREO) #13

Oh I see, ET did not even use an account at all. In CS you can be STEAM banned, and before that is was your UID. Typically, the cheaters can get multiple accounts to cheat with, so the IP ban usually solves that problem. You’re right though, anyone can get into a system if they want to, there is no surefire way to permanently ban a malicious user.

there is no surefire way to permanently ban a malicious user

actually, there is, it’s a somewhat drastic measure, but I’ve successfully done it.
It can through EXTREME methods be beat, but cost is prohibitive

sorry, no I can’t tell you how in open forum, but there are a few server admins who know this method and have also been successful

Hello Forum,

i am also interest to an answer of the question. 3 soldiers per account, ok i already heard that in any Interview. But do have to add you clan-tag to your soldier name like in Americas Army (Soldier is your Account) or will it be added automatically after you join a clan with your soldier like in Battlefield 2142 or Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars. There you have your Soldier Name and the Clan Tag is added automatically by your clan affinity.

I reserved this name.

“BANG mmm whatcha say mmm that you only meant well well of course you did mmm whatcha say mmm that’s all for the best ah of course it is mmm whatcha say mmm whatcha say that it’s just what we need you decided this mmm whatcha say mmm what she say”

I hope ETQW can allow very long names lol.

PS. I didn’t really reserve that name but it would be funny if someone did.

Dang I love SNL digital shorts mocking the OC.

I think 3 names per account is fine. And as Q4 had clan tags outside your name, in different slot, i bet QW will have them too, so no need to make clan tag.


(Dzhezkov) #18

Hahaha. I found this post amusing.

I find u amusing!

there’s one operative word in that phrase that allows a permanent ban by the method myself and others have used
