Hey all, just wondering what the clan naming restrictions are. I try to name a clan and I get an error that I’ve used a sensitive character. I’ve used only Roman letters and a few spaces. Mine is shorter than many others I’ve seen. There is no tip modal or anything to suggest what naming restrictions there are, imo dev to devs, poor design there if you’re going to give restrictions, state them clearly and if you catch an error, be more specific.
So, any tips would be helpful on what clan naming restrictions are.
If that’s what I wanted, that’s what I would have asked for. I would appreciate blizzard or someone who has had contact with them over this issue laying out a distinct list of requirements. Not here to play a game of guess who over clan names and restrictions.
I think your understanding of what a Karen is may be flawed. I was making myself clear, sorry if I hurt your feelings even though I wasn’t addressing you, speaking of a Karen. To be clear again, I asked a very specific question, answer it or don’t. Second, I never specifically asked Blizzard to respond, I simply stated it would be nice. Thanks for jumping in on this and straying the conversation farther off topic.
You did not. You were asked to give an example and went all get me your manager on Meteorblade.
You want a list of what is allowed. A simple I was looking for “xyz” would have been more than enough for many of us here to tell you what is wrong. Seems more like you want to skirt the CoC and the game won’t let you. You could prove me wrong, but I’m guessing you cannot put it here either without it being considered inappropriate.
This is where you assume and assume makes you look not so helpful or bright. It was “Light of Angiris”. Nothing nefarious about it.
From a developer standpoint, if I’ve had this issue I can guarantee others have too. Instead of a large list of people saying “same issue” eventually, I wanted to see if anybody could create productive input that would solve the issue of the many instead of the issue of the few. It’s called, “thinking ahead”. I also suggested that anytime you have an input with restrictive capabilities it’s typical UI/UX standard to have a modal or some other window to suggest said constraints, especially if you catch an error. I never asked for a manager but made suggestions and requests based on what I like to see from users of my products.
You insert yourself so much into these forums with little or no context added, devs are driven nuts on forums by people like you. Take a break my friend. If you have an issue, you don’t have to respond. Quit with the assuming as well, you do it all over these forums. Assuming makes a what out of you and me?
You think or you know? Why would other clans be able to use character names, locations, and organizations from the game in their clan names? I ended up making another using what I would believe would be a protective word and it worked just fine. I’m suspect that they have a protected word dictionary in game based on game relevant words considering the overwhelming evidence against it in other clans.
Sure, that could be it, but if you examine this game and try to use a word that violates something in their dictionary you don’t have to click create, it creates a tooltip that says “invalid name”. Again, I would be surprised if they have two lists that throw an exception two different ways for essentially the same logic.
Blizzard’s naming conventions tend to prohibit the use of existing game characters within the player’s hero names / clan names. What happens if you try “Light of Tyrael”, for example? Does it give you the same error?
Angiris is part of Angiris Council. As it has appearances in multiple Diablo games’ lore, it’s considered a significant name and thus protected. Nobody will argue Blizzard is entirely consistent with their naming restrictions, but in general titles (Lord, King, President, etc.), personal names of significant characters or names of significant organizations are restricted for Blizzard’s use only.
The bottom line is if you get the error you can’t make the name. Ranting and raving won’t help your cause any either, especially if it’s an actual object of significance within the game’s world or lore. Blizzard isn’t entirely averse to feedback however, and their naming restrictions aren’t infallable either (see: “Jewel” being unusable in a name in D2R because of a poorly designed filter that’s likely looking at the first three letters of the name, whereas I could name a character TiaJewelStore and it works).
Fair assessments but as mentioned protected words come up as a tooltip as invalid, the error I received was “sensitive character” while using only Roman lettering. Everybody is correct that Angiris itself is not a valid name.
I’ve decided to play (playing in this game to test is either financially or time expensive) and it doesn’t seem to be using a fuzzy filter for the error I’m getting. For instance, Inarius was not ok as invalid name, “Followers of Inarius” was not ok as sensitive character, but “Followers_of_Inarius” went through just fine. If it was using a fuzzy filter to find Inarius the last two should have both received the same error. It seems to only restrict the exact name but not the name in a phrase.
As I said, their filters are…problematic. You can’t even say Bastard Sword in chat in D2R even though that [/i]exact[/i] item name appears in-game. Even linking it is restricted. All because their filters are, well, garbage. It’s fairly well known among most players that have run into name and word restrictions that the absolute minimum effort went into putting the filters together. Did you know that on the previous forum software prior to Blizzard switching to Discourse that the word “grape” was censored based solely on the last four letters of the word? That was even worse - a filter with no logic to it at all.
