Thread: So, I can't name my droids now?
I've not heard of this happening....I need more details.

Respectfully,
There are no special characters in Chewbaccanor Han,yet it rejects that flatout. Whatever kind of filter they've got now, it's odd.
Hopefully though, it means they've partially live-ed the code to in the future make it possible to name droids with numbers, assuming we're seeing a new naming filter.
Or we're just being beaten on as they try and make regular names more Star Warsy....
I had the same problem with only 4 named commands - but when i added a FIFTH named command - suddenly it worked. Don't know why it changed after Pub 7, but I believe it did. Try using 5 commands instead of 4 - hope this helps ![]()

I haven't had any trouble naming droids.
Note:
- Numbers don't work in names.
- Hyphens do, but you can only use one.

- There is a maximum number of characters that you are allowed to use in a name & command. The longer the name, the shorter the command must be. Luckily, it allows a pretty long name (I haven't counted though).

So what is the exact process of naming a driod.
I tried with my MSE
The driod was my focus. I chose the command Follow and then used /say micky follow
is this the correct format?
I believe they follow the character name filter...
