Eugh, my usual color choices for frames involve lavenders and cool greys, with brighter purples for the energy.

People are going to think that's what I'm doing, but I'm not. I don't like the show. e.e 

not the only one, i don't like mlp, but players gonna be like "OH you like mlp because of your colors, you are a kid " snif, my beautiful color :'c

Go look it up. They named it after a my little pony.

Octavia is a really old name, and sounds like octaves, the musical notes range [or something like that]. It has nothing to do with that stupid pony.

Octave is one of the basic units of measurement in musical theory. It means a distance of 8 notes (or 12 chromatic notes) and it's also a distance between same notes (becuz there's 7 repeating notes, you know). The name looks quite suitable.

:v

So they named it after a my little pony?  Wow, they should be mighty proud of themselves.

Maybe they named her after the witch Octavia? ;D

My main problem with the Name "Octavia" is how easy it was. Everything that has a music character uses Octavia as a name. It's boring, it's not interesting. We had so many unique choices and without voting, we're stuck with this name. I'm hoping that DE gives design council a chance and makes a top 8 for bardframe's name, and let's people vote there.

I'll just add a little trivia here:

The name Octavia is a Roman name. People in antient Rome were sort of lazy when it comes to naming kids and all daughters had the same family name.

Octavia is a daughter of Octavia family (really, all daughters had the same name).

And definitely DE chose this name bacause of the similarity to word octave... not the cartoon about ponies >_____>

Agreed.

The frame wont even go higher than 1 octave to even justify that name

Octavesia sounds weird.

ba-dum tss

In all seriousness, I'm not a fan either. But I expected the name not to delve meaningfully into her theme. Excaliber? Ash? Trinity? They've gotten more sophisticated since the vanilla frames, but not by much.

Maybe they'll find a way to make it seem less hamhanded in the context of the quest, but we had wonderful suggestions like "Locria" from the community.

The Locrian Mode is a neat concept that would have dovetailed wonderfully with "orokin space-magic warrior who weaponizes music," but oh well.

My father was a gifted musician...and yet my viceral response to "Locria" is being force-fed snot-covered vegetables  as a kid so I could eat a cookie.

 

Subjective is subjective...😊

Hang on now, I remember people from the Design Council specifically saying they weren't given input on Bardframe's name and that DE had decided on their own. Are we seeing some lies here?

Maybe 1 guy just sent in the name as a suggestion?

It says exactly what it's supposed to. People submitted names, DE chose among them. No lies.
