Jawbreaker Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I've had a character called Blowhole pretty much since HC went wide, didn't play him much though. I decided to re-roll him for the new Marine powerset and it won't let me use the name after changing the name of the original. Was some updated list of unacceptable names added to the game later on?

Bionic_Flea Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Keep trying and click all the way through, even if it says unavailable. Sometimes it's blocking the use of name because it knows someone had that name (you) and it may be cached somewhere. But I have done the same, had the same error, and then clicked through and got the desired name. GO NOW! Hopefully it hasn't been stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to go there, then I would think that the name is unacceptable. 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know where the line is. It certainly is a thing. I realize it is part of a marine mammal. I'm assuming other parts of bodies are not acceptable, but I'm not a GM.

Game Master GM Crumpet Posted July 26 Game Master Share Posted July 26 blowhole!! <snigger> It's like many words, it's only dirty in the mind of a 12 year old boy. I used to giggle whenever my teacher said Uranus. And cummingtonite. And wait till you see some of the more out there village and street names in the UK 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Master GM Crumpet Posted July 26 Game Master Share Posted July 26 (edited) Bell End. Shitterton. Fingeringhoe. Cockermouth. Wetwang. Sandyballs. All absolutely delightful British villages you'd definitely want to live in Apparently the residents were so sick of people pinching their village sign they had one made in stone Edited July 26 by GM Crumpet 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still unable to play with Blowhole? (get your mind out of the gutter!) I named one Biowhole (capitol I) and one Biowhoie while trying 2 different power combos to decide which one I'd like better, but I can't change any of them to the original now Ask me about my City Of Heroes patch problem https://levelzeroems.com/search?q=City of Heroes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
