Fire and Glory Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 So, I think we should revert to the old-code regarding the name generator, because Bay's random alien names are just really lazy and look utterly terrible next to the names of those who actually thought one out. Unathi are Hiss-hiss with something hard in a middle, Skrell are Quooo-Xquioo, IPC's don't actually make sense, Tajara are....something, it's ugly anyways, I haven't seen a Diona do it yet but it's probably something equally terrible.
Guest Menown Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I actually really like Mrrazuraghran Halmrrdynh. I've defined his given name as meaning 'dwells close to the sea' with his surname just being his clan name. I feel it fits really well with Tajara born on Ahdomai that haven't been given a name that matches anything easily said in TCB, but commonplace in Siik'Maas.

I have to say I do like this, it does sound like a traditional Tajaran name to me.
Jboy2000000 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I actually like the random alien names. It's a lot better than hitting random on your Tajaran to get a good idea for a name, and end up getting the name "Thomas Derringer." And, I mean, they're NOT human names, they're really not supposed to be make sense to us, and it's pretty cool they don't. Also, random Diona names are pretty cool, I rando'ed a few names myself just to try it out. I even managed to pluck out a name of one of the Diona someone applied as a while back ago.
SierraKomodo Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Now on the subject of randomized names that suck... IPC names. That really needs to be replaced. Fghtsreagargh gHSDThsrtedhsr the IPC botanist is just ridiculous.
Guest Menown Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I am going to have to demand the random chance of a diona getting the name 'The sound of a supernova bringing forth the end to an age of sentient life and thrusting the memory of its song across the universe', but only if their ckey matches mine. Y/y?
Jboy2000000 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I thought Robotnameofathousand Lettersandsyllables, Gardner was pretty funny. But, yeah, if anything, they should be capped so they can't break the name character limit anymore. And if the provided example is ACTUALLY something that was suggested by the game, yeah, they either need to be fixed, or removed.
Fire and Glory Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 If they're decided to be names in a native language then that's fine, I 'spose, mostly I've had my gears grinded by how the Skrell names look next to normal ones. I'd still prefer them removed but eh, I'm not the Head Dev. We DO need to do something about the IPC's though, since as it has been pointed, it breaks the word limit and it's gibberish that doesn't begin to make sense.

That's because only IPCs can understand each other. You're just a human. But, yeah. I agree with you there. It's incomprehensible.
