I can!




That's like buying something from temu instead from amazon.
A random name generator would be good. It's better than finding out that 'Wtinalbsqqpailhcwciwecj', 'Rvdaqbrsiiigmibakydlmce' and 'Scfoscqzkpcwvcorwnirgec' were already taken and then having to settle for 'Vdlyawrtpipluujoqplcuzk'.

My partner found a player named 'Suckmyballs' hanging around The Clearfell Encampment just minutes into starting the game. While it is distasteful, at least it roles off the tongue better.
For the love of God, fix this naming bullshit. I just want to play a game using a decent name without spending hours dicking around finding some crap ASCI coding.
Just adding the pile here, this is a really annoying and negative experience that any new player is going to hit instantly. That so many names are already taken should demonstrate the need for discriminators that are account linked so you can just use whatever name you please without having to actually resort to profanity just to get a name through.

The worst part is this is only early access, this problem with finding a name will even be worse in 2-3 years from now :|
New to POE, spending 20-30 minutes trying to find a name I’m happy with is not fun. Please change this.
Upvoting, it's kind of ridiculous to think poe 2 is millions of characters (many, many more after EA) on "one" server which means you can't even have names be the same between servers like you can in most mmo's. Definitely need an account delimiter or added ability to add numbers, spaces, etc.
The day before EA launched I wrote down a list of 10 names I wanted. Logged in the moment EA launched and was stuck in a ~6,000 person queue. By the time I got in all 10 names were already taken. Most of them were obscure as hell. Random words from other languages.

This was 5 minutes after creation was active. Imagine 6 months from now.

It’s dumb GGG. Just change it. Let us name our characters whatever the hell we want.
Is there a reason why they wont add this feature that is present in most games that exist?

I'm curious if they've mentioned it. Since its a new game, which isnt linked to the code of PoE1, they could have set up an ACCOUNTNAME.CHARACTER name set.

Knowing how big this game would be, it would seem a feature you want to give the community.

At this stage I dont know if they can easily add this code in to parse the string correctly.

Same actually and almost my entire list was bricked. I can't believe the obscure character names from random '90s RPGs were taken.
