Still no word on Au Ra Naming Conventions?

[Reishi]

Seriously, the fun stopped long ago. Hyping something okay, but in 24 hours we need to have come up with a Name for the Twelves' sake!!

All that's left now is hoping for the full version of the patch notes, but my hopes die like Ahrimans in East meets Worst.

I take quite a long time researching and toying with names, releasing the naming conventions this late (if we get them at all before launch) is questionable. I know the devs have been busy but this would be such a quick thing to reveal that I'm struggling to think of reasons as to why it's been delayed at this point.

Maintenance du forum terminé et toujours rien ... C'EST DEMAIN L’ACCÈS ANTICIPE M*RDE !!!!

Its been like...eight years since I used what little french I know but the frustration is universal at this point. So are caps.

First we were waiting for a green light then we were just...waiting. At this point I'm starting to think someone is furiously shaking a boggle board and praying for results because the name conventions don't even exist. Until proven otherwise I will hold to this theory.

Guess I'll have to operate under the theory that Fantasia just changes the way you perceive yourself and everyone else sees you as your original race for the time being. Even if they do happen to come out today before EA goes live I doubt it'll be enough time to come up with a satisfactory name.

Thankfully my RP group is pretty small and we'll be consumed with leveling for a while. If RP does come up I'll just tell them to keep using my original name (which thankfully doesn't fit traditional Seeker naming patterns anyway) and swap when we finally have some conventions to work with. I'm mostly boggled that we're having to come up with these workarounds at all.

So I probably won't get to change my main at all until these are released. It was my own fault really that I didn't properly read the name change mechanic before buying it x_x but the fact remains I'm stuck with an active name change and nothing to put in there until these come out. Yay?

Human error aside, I can't think of why they would keep these under wraps for so long, there are probably a lot of new customers with early access who will be creating their first Au Ra main, you can't tell me they're going to screw them over by not providing the proper naming conventions, assuming they're the type who care deeply about lore and immersion.

Well, at least people creating a whole new character can use the randomizer. I personally am not buying two name changes, and I would rather use the naming conventions to make my own name, but at least there's that for some people...

If nothing else, the random name generator in the Heavensward client will function, so we'll be able to suss out some details from that.

Though I have to rise to join the chorus asking why this information is so difficult to get out there.

True :/ I could always do the randomizing roulette on a throwaway character to get a feel for the names, but like everyone's saying, it'll be hell staying on the servers when mass connections bring the whole thing crashing down.

You can actually just re-roll your name over and over, noting what the name is each time. That'll give some idea of how their names are structured and you won't even have to complete character creation (which means server interruption shouldn't be an issue).
