I have a idea to propose for people who wish to make a fresh character and for people who don’t have time to collect everything their first original character has.
The game Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance has introduced to it’s players an new Ng plus feature where it allows them to keep everything or almost start fresh on the next game cycle. That system is called Newborn & Rebirth.
What if that mechanic was implemented for our game’s character creation?
Rebirth: create a new character on a specific mode with all knowledge, recipes and emote which your first character had unlocked (pve for example), but the player with the New character must reach certain levels and/or max 60 lv to use them. Option to name the new character available.
Newborn: Player starts with a fresh character which has the option to start over on everything that regards their new character.
My friend, if this mechanic was implemented on Conan exiles and you have choose rebirth, you would still be able to name your new character.
Also in one of my previous posts, a member of our community said that suport told him to recreate his character in order to solve his issues with Lui Fei 's quest. With Newborn & Rebirth mechanic implemented into Conan exiles character creation and along with his friends help, that player can fix his issue and not loosing anything.
The feature You talking about is the “copy character” which you do via playthrough and not through the character creation screen when you firstly start on a map.
The feature I’m suggesting is for the online mostly. And there is no rebirth feature for neither online nor signle player.
The “newborn & rebirth” feature I’m suggesting for the online will benefit the players who don’t have the skill to make a new character fully maxed in 3 hours within one day just like those who have the skill, and it’ll be less time consuming leaving a player to deal with material collecting, base building, gear searching and thrall hunting, or they can choose newborn to start all over again.
Also the single player due to the bugs of the resent update and of the past, is no longer playable.
Well I want to ask, what purpose would the rebirth have then? The player will not have to do anything, but having to do all the things you mentioned is what this game is about.
Maybe I just don’t see what purpose this function should have. You delete previous character, then go through “rebirth”, you change your name if you want to, and you end up with everything you had and achieved before the rebirth. So why to rebirth at all?
Just to reach lvl 60 and then having everything like before, you could as well stay in your old character, not having to go through any rebirth.
Could be, but where is any guarantee that this rebirth/recreating will actually fix this problem?Sounds like something I personally wouldn’t risk just for “maybe”.
And it seems to me like a lot of work for a player, who is going to lose their own progress just because of some restart method which might or might not solve it.
When I took a break from the game 3 years ago and transferred my char to a pve server, I made a new char when I returned and used a different name, because there was some quarrel on the server.
Now that this died down, I would love to go back to my original char name, but don’t because I don’t want to learn all recipes again, do all dungeons again and miss some stuff from events and older ages.
That is why I would love a rename option
This I personally get and would appreciate as well, but it could be this option only (changing the charname), without all the other thing’s OP mentioned. And for precausions, so people won’t mess up with changing their charname all the time, it could be for example limited to one charname change only per server, with some one year cooldown time before it could be changed again.
I once got option to rename my character.
One of my account character name was riddick.
After 2 years of using that character.
One day when I logged in. I got message. This character name is not allowed. Had to change it
Yeah, probably because of the Richard name shortcut inlcuded in it. I was also trying to name one thrall with name Jesus (+ surname), because as far as I know it is still legit name, but didn’t succeed - probably too controversial for use in the game.
Rebirth could possibly be exploited on Online to temporarily escape being reported (changing name / gender). It’s fine for single player, would cut down a bit of time compared to character copy overwrite.
Some people love to do different things in this game.
Some people don’t fancy character recreation, but they would love to play on different servers without starting all over again.
I know it’s not a mountain for me, not even a straight road, it’s a downhill.
But for some it remains a mountain, not because they are less skilled, but because this part is irritating for them . For me it’s absolute fun, but this is me.
There for, i support the idea!
I doubt that griefers can escape from getting their Psn, steam and Xbox id from not being reported by simply changing their character 's name in the via the the feature that I am suggesting.
Since the character transfer is disabled permanently by the devs due to from malfunction in the game and from exploitation by non friendly users.
This idea is the replacement for original character transfer. In the age of the original character transfer, griefers were abusing the original feature to grief their victims and escape to an other PvP or pve-c or pve server where the victim player can not follow.
With my idea Newborn & Rebirth, the griefers won’t have the chance to cause the usual issues they know to cause. And after player who wish to have clean/legit fun such as RP, enjoy the lore, organise exploration with friends and other clans , organise purges and organise pvp battles/sieges on any server with out to encounter the mountain of time they need on their new character 's creation progress on recipes, emotes and leveling up. And also all players can choose to start fresh via the newborn option.
Also if a non friendly player who abused cheats, glitches and exploits who be attempting to escape report by changing their character 's name they can’t because if they are caught in act, you can report their Psn, Steam and Xbox id to zendesk.
I was also trying to name one thrall with name Jesus (+ surname), because as far as I know it is still legit name, but didn’t succeed - probably too controversial for use in the game.
