svinoi 1 Posted December 26, 2013 Any chance of giving us the option to change our characters names in game? At the minute, it is taken from our steam account, which leads to folk deciding to add us just because we ran into each other maybe once or twice in game. I`ve had three adds sent in the two times I`ve run the game.Had similar in M:Wizard Wars, until they gave us the option. Thanks in advance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Steam identity isn't displayed anywhere, except the player menu and chat box, that is. If you have a mic, it really wouldn't be that difficult to give the people you bump into a false name. (Generally what I happen to do, when I don't just shoot them first :P) Might be a little more tricky if you have to type, I suppose. But still, nobody is -forcing- you to accept these friend requests, you could always politely decline them? It's probably something that will be addressed at some point, but I can't see it happening while there are much bigger issues with the Alpha that the Dev's have to deal with. Like putting in some decent rifles *hint hint* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Snapcase 30 Posted December 26, 2013 I'm with the OP on this one but I agree it's probably not too high on their list of priorities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svinoi 1 Posted December 26, 2013 Yeah I know there are other things that need dealing with first, but they can see you name when you type or talk & get your steam account via this.As luck would have it I bought the original ARMA games plus DayZ mod without any chance of stalkish type folk, even if they`re the friendly sort ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King of kong 1117 Posted December 26, 2013 I'm fine with it 'cause I met some fun people to play with. But you should have choice I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
