Add the ability to change your friend code username (Wolcen Tag)?

First of all, I bought this game despite the negative reviews and knowing full well many of the bugs, and I've been enjoying it nonetheless. I’m glad to see that the developers are also working hard at fixing a lot of the known issues in game. This is strictly a quality of life suggestion that doesn’t affect gameplay, so it’s understandable that this wouldn’t be a priority fix.

To the point, I did not realize when I first launched the game that it would automatically generate a username for me, and was using a goofy Steam name as a meme at the time, not something I wanted to have permanently associated with my in-game account. On my profile on the forums, it seems to indicate that you’re able to change your Wolcen Tag by linking your Steam account and running the game while on the page, but that hasn’t been successful for me yet.

I’ve dug quite a bit at the forums here and on Steam, and aside from one post where someone had their personal information as their username and the devs manually adjusted it, I haven’t seen a lot of response to questions about changing your friend tag. Since the naming system to allow for multiple users of the same name (i.e. “name . 1234”) in already in place, it would be nice to be able to change your friend code that points to your account.

I’m not a developer, so I don’t know what all that entails, but I would love to see that implemented so people weren’t forced into a name. If this is a bug fix related to server communication or something that hasn’t been implemented at all, it would be great to be able to update your name, especially for people who have a “brand” associated with their usernames online.

Love the game so far, keep up the good work!

Yea, I never really used my Steam friend list and when Wolcen assigned me a friend list user name it automatically used my Steam default which is my email.
I then changed my user tag name in Steam and assumed Wolcen would do a check again when I authenticated with Steam but it didn't. Guess that's what I get for assuming. LOL

It would be nice if they would add the option in "Game Settings" to manually change that. Or at the very least they should have the game coded to sniff for any changes itself when we authenticate during login.

Currently I don't know if the different names will allow me to add someone.
Mainly because there has been so many issues surrounding grouping that I've been avoiding it until things get fixed on that end.

since there's an ability to change the forum user name once, it would be nice to change the friend list search name for people to find you atleast once. best would be to have maybe a permanent "friend list name" for finding you and then for the game to grab your ingame name off of your current steam name. or just FULLY integrate steam into the game to sync with your steam friendlist with all the freinds and names. or atleast do like the old counterstrike where you could change your ingame name in the options :D (sry for my broken english)
