I have been playing this game for almost 6+ years now and I really need to know how to say the name of some of these MOBs. I mean seriously, how do you pronounce them?
Like:
Caudatergus

(kaw-dat-er-gus) or (kaw-dat-er-jus)

or

Eomon

(oh-men) or (ee-oh-men) or (ee-oh-mon)

I was just thinking about this while hunt Cornundacudas (Korn-nun-da-ku-dus)???

:)
 
Geek:))

If you start to think even more you would realize that info is useles ( how do you say a mob name)

You don't have any RL fiend next to you when you global in order to say, hey I've just killed a Corn
You just read the name on screnn
Others just read the name on screen

And overall the most important part is next to the mob name, the global/HOF size:)

BTW, there are armors also with strange name - Chelydra

Personally I just call em Caud (pronounced like cod, like the fish irl), Eee!!! Oh Man! (since they are so freaking big), and Corn - Zeus is one of the biggest corn fields in game.
 
kaw-dat-er-gus, ee-oh-mon, kor-nun-dah-kaw-dah (CornundacAuda)

What really annoys me is when people call Amethera "Amathera" and Ithaca "Ithica" :D
 
Syer and I refer to corn as... cornahnajndfliauhbdf:eyecrazy::laugh::laugh:

no clue, so just corn
 
I say

cod-ater-gus

Eee-oh-mon

Corn-un-da-cow-da

:scratch2:


I really dislike when people say RockTopia.... :confused:
 
Caudatergus.
Kawd-at-er-gus.


Eomon.
ee-oh-mon.

Cornundacauda
Korn-un-dah-kaw-dah.


That's how I say those mobs' names. :silly:

Just give them all your own alternative names. Wallah problem solved :)

For example:
Caud = Little idiot
Eomon = Big idiot
Longtooth = Lunatic
Chelydra = Crazy fool

Could be funny talk in soc chat. I killed 500 little idiots, 1 big ijiot, 5 lunatic and 1 crazy fool :D
 
Caudatergus:

kaw-da-ter-gus


Eomon:

Eamonn Holmes (because they're both big and fat).
 
I say them like this:
Cow-da-tergus
E-omon
Core-nunda-cuda
 
When i am not sure how to say english and non english (in this case swedish) words, i often go to Google translate function to hear the word.
Caudatergus sounds almost exactly the same except the C (and much better than in english) in swedish and in my native language polish.

Hear it here.
 
I put a post on the Arkadia forums about this very subject. I suggested that it would be a good idea for the mob developement team to put a sticky thread in the beastiary section containing the proper pronounciation of the diffent mob names. They made the mobs, they named them, they must have an intended proper pronounciation for that name. As an additional aid, they could even make a short slideshow-type video with a picture of the mob with the appropriate audio giving the name of said mob.

If all you do, as a player, is deal with the chat box, then this whole issue is a moot point. You can abbreviate the names whatever way you want and the reader will understand. However, some of us use voice chat programs and it would be nice to have a standard pronounciation to use.

Corn-on-the-cobs. Easy enough for my kids to pronounce "Daddy are you hunting corncobs again?"

Sure it's not properly pronounced, but it makes me grin :)

Always love these threads :laugh:

Cow da for short, never say the full name I'm lazy :silly2:

guessing full version I'd say Cow day ter gus as it's less of a tongue twister for me than Cow da ter gus
 
Well... it’s supposed to be a latin terminus, obviously. According to general agreement, \ˈkau̇d-ə-ˈtər-gəs\ should be about right. :dunno:
 
I actually tend to say the names of the MOBs out loud, I have no idea why. My mom was an English teacher, so I guess it's habit.

But I also make up my own names for the ones I can't pronounce,
Cauds are Cau-dij-er-is
Faucervix- False Cervix
Berys- Are Barely Clad
etc

what he said :yup:
check entropedia for some explanation of the naming and pronounce accordingly. most of ´em are inspired by or are actual latin and thus in almost the same manner spoken as written.

the caudatergus for me is just a two-legged cow :laugh:
