Name your Relic weapon!

[Kacho_Nacho]

I would make sure to go use my boyfriend's computer and name his SCH relic "Fairy Princess" if I had the chance....just to make him rage xD

/laugh That's priceless.

I shall call mine Bob."

"But, it's female, and a seraphic entity demanding of glory and respect!"

"Yep, definitely calling my relic Bob."

I thought that too! Bob should be the default name for every relic.

But, if that ends up not being the case, I have a few other names I'd like to use.

1. Wigglesworth. "I got my Wigglesworth. Have you?"
2. Pretty Stick. "Look at my Pretty Stick! I have other sticks but this one is Pretty!"
3. Special Thing. "Hey everyone. Have you seen my Special Thing? Well, it's shiny and Special and about yay long and yay wide. If you see my Special Thing, please let me know."

Don't get too attached to your weapon. In ARR we created our own, personal, sentient weapon, a partner to go with us through fire, in HW it was discarded to skip the first grindy step towards a new personal, sentient weapon to go with us through everything...til SB where I assume it will be discarded again to skip a step in a grindy quest to forge a new personal, sentient weapon to go with us...wait...?

I think the naming from a list of pre-approved words would be best. Sure it restricts creativity a little but as other people have said.. I don't need to see someone brandishing the "Floppy Wang". I'm sure people will come up with just as creative combinations from the preselected words, but there'll be some control at least. I support this idea =]

so like with the chocobos?
"This is my stinky feet"
"My glorious Kweh Kweh shall aid me in battle!"

We already get to name our chocobos and those are not all running around called "myhugecock", plus there is already the rules in place for not being allowed to include inappropriate speech in names.

I shall call him... Bob. -edit- it appears some other people had the same idea. Well, the more bobs the merrier I say!

...maybe on YOUR server you haven't seen those names. I'll tell you I've seen enough variations to rethink giving players free reign on names.

And then one day you will log in and your ast globe will be named "the single lady"

You don't mess with a man's video games lol

Sure, he might as a joke, but considering I made my retainer look like his character and put it on the house lawn in girly and/or sexy equipment in the past already if he hasn't left me in 7 years he won't leave me over a SCH relic in a game :P

On one hand this would really personalise weapons and it would be fun to see what other people would name their weapons.

On the other hand, I can see people running around with their legendary "Assgravy" and "Cockbutter" relics, which would probably be undesirable unless they put a bunch of restrictions in play, which I am sure they will.

No different than some horsebirds I've seen.
If something is overtly offensive, it's easy enough to report.

If I was a sentient weapon, I'd take issue with this.

I don't think the ARR relic was exactly sentient.
Though the Heavensward Animus weapon certainly was. However we get around discarding the weapon body by having the soul exist in the minion.
