Race Naming Conventions for Viera and Hrothgar

[Elexander]

We know it's not the news you wanted to hear, but we appreciate your understanding.

Well, at least that's some news. Either way, I wasn't really expecting to change my name anytime before or during the launch, so it's alright.

Greetings, everyone.

Thanks for your patience while we checked into this for you.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to release the naming conventions ahead of early access and launch of Shadowbringers. Once things have calmed down post-launch, the team will be able to better dedicate time to creating them. We know it's not the news you wanted to hear, but we appreciate your understanding.

Thank you for letting us know, and for checking this for us! Things must be ridiculously busy before launch so it means a lot that you took the time to investigate.

Really, deeply disappointing. :-/

Wait, so you won't even be releasing them during maint? Or even before official launch? This is kind of a big deal to much of your player base. This feels like a pretty big oversight.

Still smarting from the lack of male Viera, and now from this. Knowing that the parts of the expansion I was most excited about were given such low priority is disheartening.

Sad to hear, but thank you for taking the time to let us know.

Thank you for update! It's a little bit a disappointment from my site, but it's understandable. Is there ANYTHING you can tell us abount the names? Some direction for the ancestry? Nordic? celtic? Only a little help for us roleplayers would be very helpful for tomorrow!

I don't know why but I am really saddened by this I want to name my Hrothgar appropriately.

You expected people to commit to new races. People are buying fantasias, and name changing tokens, but you won't even let us in on the naming conventions ahead of time?

This is a waste of money. What if I name my character and then the naming conventions come out later after I've purchased my token. I'm not made of money SE. As a roleplayer this will affect me should I choose to go with a lore friendly name. I have my token for my Hrothgar waiting for my next log in during early access, and now I'm at a loss for what I'm going to do.

You'll still have the name generator in character create if it's that critical that you change races immediately. The only details you won't have are what the names actually mean, or if there's significance to the last names. If that's what you're worried about, and I totally get why that's a worry, then I'd suggest sitting tight on the change/creation for the first week or so until the launch frenzy has subsided. It's disappointing no question, but there's no need to spend more money than you already have.

I think you have to change names once you purchase it to be able to log in. I don't think you can "sit on it".
