What is the thought behind this question?

Is like Trainers doing Tailor things now.. there is an Icon for it.
Same as setting the badge title.. just look it up on the 'Collect > Badge' window.

I don't know the OP's thought but it would only be slightly less complicated than using the Collect > Badge window. So it would simply be a qol improvement for those that would want to use it.

Is /titlechange an alias? I always use /settittle. Or is /titlechange for the one provided by trainers?

Indeed it could be a QoL, but without given a solid reason as to why someone wants to change it i doubt the Devs would spent their resources to this.

A tip, if you want something to change, come up with a solid reason 1st.
Example: Make all zones available in any base.
Looking at that, and your suggestion OP, it seems regular QoL. But give a reason:
My SG has several Vigilantes including myself, and are active also in Praetoria. If we can access each zone in our base, it would make our travel time shorter. We don't have to go to Pocket D then to Studio 55, Imperial City, look for an Underground access just to get to the Praetorian Underground. Even worse if We want to go to Nova Praetorian Underground, making PD, Studio 55, Imp City, Nova to Nova Underground a minimum of 5 load screens. Same as going to Sharkhead Isle or even Nerva to do a Tree-Spec. PD to Port Oaks, to Nerva. It would be a serious QoL if these zones could be added to any base when a member of that SG/VG has collected all the zone's exploration badges, which in turn would unlock a beacon for that zone.

Same as your badge title setting.
People looking for a cool name, or specific badge don't have to scan the different badge tabs to find it. Instead they can open Personal Info and find the badge faster, and QoL would be selectable badges from there.
I know a lot of people have a Exploration badge as Badge Title, and knowing there are over 500 of these, a scrollable list can take some time to find what people are looking for. The Personal Info window can be scaled to accommodate more than just a hand full of badges, making it easier to just mouse over a badge to find it.



Just a thought for future ideas of asking for a change, even when the reason is pretty obvious, not everyone looks at it the same way.

I think the reason behind it is pretty self-evident. It's simply easier to pick a badge title from your info screen than it is to filter and scroll through your badge list. I'm really not sure why this needed to be explained.

/signed


your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.

Exactly. I thought it was pretty obvious that mousing over a badge and clicking on the one you want for a title on the personal info window is easier than tabbing and scrolling thru the dozen badge tabs under the Collect window.

Is it really necessary to give a step by step description to prove it's easier?

1. Sit down . . . in front of a computer . . . that has internet access.

2. Turn the computer on . . . If necessary turn on the Monitor as well.

3. Using the mouse click on the NCSoft Launcher.

4. Once the NCSoft launcher is running select City of Heroes.

5. Click on Play.

6. Type in your Login Name and Password.

7. Press the <Enter> button

8. Select a Server . . . preferably one that you have a character on.


Oh trust me it's easier. Otherwise this will take forever.

/settitle changes your BADGE title

/titlechange brings up the window to change your "level 15, origin, etc" title(s)

I don't think I'd like this..... Mainly because 1) I have WAAAAAAAAAYYY to many badges.. Expecially exploration ones. And 2) the personal info tends to cut off the end ones to the point where you can't see them.. And if it's one you wanted you won't be able to see it well.


And a ps: they still don't have a SG "closest to completion" thing :/

I've been playing this game since I4/5 (mostly continuously) and I never knew this was an available command. Learn something new every day!

Oh cool. Like Dark I didn't know those commands. Do you have to know what you want to change the badge title to if you use that slash command?

It (/changetitle) was instituted only about 3 issues ago without any patchnotes. It was found in the list of commands you get with /cmdlist.

Regarding /titlechange, see bold.

Regarding /settitle, you need to know the number that the badge corresponds to. This number frequently changes when they add/remove/rearrange badges.

This has been a source of constant annoyance for years.

Effectively EVERY time they add new badges to the game they (for some reason) wedge them somewhere in the middle of the overall badge list. For example if they add a new badge "XYZ" they might decide to make it badge number 500. The problem is that every current badge above 500 gets its /settitle number shifted up by one. This means if there was a badge that used to be set with "/settitle 800" you now have to use "/settitle 801" to set it. This basically screws up any keybinds using the /settitle command.

I just wish they could add badges to the game without shifting any preexisting /settitle numbers.

Thanks for confirming that Agge. I had a feeling that if it didn't just open up a window to read like the other command, then it might be something along those lines.

Hmm So are you all telling me that if I wanted to change my badge title from Kitties Got Claws to Tough there is something |I can type to change this?

/settitle #

where # is (drumroll) a number from this list. In your example it would be /settitle 1559 (although keep in mind that these numbers can and do change from issue to issue since new badges get added).
