This thought occurred to me while on a search for Hyuuga women, but anyways!

I was thinking that for a certain amount of DP, one could change the names of the KG they posses. It wouldn't effect gameplay in the slightest, but would be fun for those who would rather say they are of another clan, yet posses a different KG in-game. Color coding would also be a cool thing for this.

Ex. Normal: Born as Grand Master of the Uchiha Ichizoku
Editing: Born as [blank1] of the [blank2] (Blank 1 = Clan Elder, blank 2 = Uzumaki Ichizoku)
Result: Born as Clan Elder of the Uzumaki Ichizoku

And for a little extra DP, one could cosmetically change their KG title thing into another default KG title thing. Though, I'm not sure if that would fly with some people. What do you guys think?

I kind of like it, however, it can give lenience to something, like:

An Initiate naming themselves a Grand Master; it can clash with account selling or role-playing.

[Kage]

You have a point there. But how about some hover-over text appearing showing the user's actual reborns when the mouse is over the text. Like how in the login screen, when you hover your mouse over a mod's name it would say what they're a mod of.

[Raifudo Oppa]

It's an unneeded boon, in my opinion, to go out of the way to make a hover text for a kekkei genkai text. Likewise, it'd look kinda funky.

By the way:

InB4: "Lulz, just RP you have the kg and move on" or some other unhelpful shenanigan of the sort.

Couldn't the renaming be reviewed by a mod or someone and approved or denied based on their resets to prevent that from happening, kinda like how they do for the bio pics?

[Raifudo Oppa]

Yeah, but what reason would they have to say 'no' to giving yourself a higher rank? Likewise, what if you change your KG-name once to something random and then to something else -- how can they tell?

[Asadi]

Coding, coding, coding.

[Shun]

Well, to your first arguement, Raifudo, the reason could be "your new title doesn't match the amount of resets you have for that KG" and for the second, couldn't there be a log or something that tells the mods what's going on?

[Asadi]

Whether or not it's approved, they have set code for the KG and it's the same for everyone that has it.

They would need to code it like name changes and the last time I spoke to Neji, he hasn't had time to code anything.

[Shun]

Well, it's not like we're asking for an immediate change. Change takes time and requires patience. If it were to be approved then it's a small step to the grand event ya know? Neji is doing a great job as an administrator and doesn't deserve being rushed as he has a lot on his plate already.

[Neji]

Those titles serve the same purpose as OK titles, and I believe they should stay like this.
Else the system with naming conventions as you "level up" the KG would be difficult to explain.

We could introduce role-playing titles, but that would be in the same way as the additional Bio Info ...

If you have a solution for this, I am all ears

[Kage]

Alright, so the main complication would be the discerning between fake and real reborn titles/count. How about this: Those who dish out the DP for the cosmetic change would require a hide/show button for your actual KG reset listing right under your cosmetic ones? I photoshopped two visual examples to help know what I'm talking about.

Example 1

Example 2

Also, the number of custom reborn titles would depend on the number of different KG you have reset into. Ex. 1 custom for 1 reborn, 2 for 2, etc.

[Raijinthelightning]

I would like to make the suggestion that they simply offer a feature for people to remove the reborns that they do not want. They will then have to get 80 more oro-kills before they can replace it, perhaps choosing to reborn into Mokuton instead of Hyouton this time around. That way it does not take the effort out of gaining them, but still allows picky roleplayers the chance to edit their backgrounds.

( Much like a similar topic introduced by UettoSenju here: http://forum.shinobilegends.com/index.php/topic,6917.0.html )

[Angra Mainyu]

We've already shot down the 'Reset Removal/Exchange System'-idea.

Anyway, I admit that the introduction of role-playing titles (done in the same way as additional Bio Info (ref. to Neji's response)) is always an alternative.

[Neji]

I have not dismissed the idea yet.

I believe one should be able to drop one KG. However, the "price" is hard to measure, because a reset costs a lot and "slows" down the char at first.
80 Kills are not equal from 1-81 and 200-280. The last ones are faster.

Question is: make it dp-exchangeable, or should at least one reset be lost.  Or make it cheap and lose all KG resets of one KG. Hmm.
