Erin West - 'Cutting Back Old Growth'

• Renamed the Alpha Team members.

In case people are curious about the renamed Alpha Team.

Is there a particular reason why? In addition to the old set having a theme, the names were kind of just better overall the way they were. Small things like Blazing and Binding both having "Blade" in their name and how confusingthat is on a superteam also are gone.

Nintendo's lawyers called.

• Thermal Radiation > Power of the Phoenix: Fixed a bug where the Defender version of this power was only usable on foes.

This was hilarious in practice though

"

Name Tags

• When using a name tag such as Helper, Help Me, or Roleplayer, your name color is no longer changed."

 

Any reason for this specifically ? That was kind of the point...

My understanding for this is that using this feature to change a player's name color was not the intended purpose, just a convenient side effect. Players were complaining it was too hard to tell the difference between who was on their team and who was using a Help Me tag, was one reason I was aware of.

I see ! I don't agree with the logic but I can see it, I guess.

Maybe they weren't generic enough.

Skorry hit the nail on the head. Some if not all the names were direct references to Nintendo games. Blazing Blade and Binding Blade inparticular were English titles of two different Fire Emblem games.

All five of them were Fire Emblem games.

But those are also just words, i unno.

This issue is not fully fixed even with July 8th update. Defender version still states Enemies as the Target Type in Detailed Info. It does auto target downed allies, however, it then says Invalid Target.  Of note is that it CANNOT target enemies now to 'resurrect' them.

Having a gold title makes it so that I am not visibly flagged as a roleplayer any more. This is very inconvenient. At least on Everlasting, plenty of players used pink names to show when they are in character and looking for RP.

Now there's no way to show that, for those of us fortunate enough to have earned a special title.
