So we just got a patch and no where in the notes is there documentation on skill name changes:
War Dancer is my main class and I have noticed that Sleeping Ascent Celebration is now
called Sweeping Hidden Dragon the same appears true for Striker.
My concern is not so much the name change as it is a good move but the lack of communication around these changes.
Could a list of all the skill name changes in this most recent patch please be shared?
Furthermore, things like the word âDebuffâ was changed to âStatus Ailmentâ, which irks me to no end. Out of all the things to change including improper use of pronouns and typos, changing a very common word used in games to describe negative effects to âstatus ailmentâ? Really? Iâm quite disappointed by the localization âfixesâ from this patch.
did it change all debuffs to be called status ailments or did they only change the debuffs that count as cc and are affected by expertise (electrocute, stun, earthquake, freeze)?
because i think itâd be a good change if they finally had a different terminology for those ingame so people donât get confused about things like the bard guardian tune tripod not blocking a bleed or slow.
Hey everyone, I have confirmed with the localization team that the only class skill name changes were on the Martial Artist class to better theme them. I am working to get a full list to cut down on any confusion.
Strikerâs âViolent Tigerâ was turned to âVicious Tiger Danceâ which imo is a worser title considering Strikerâs identity revolves around being an explosive Tiger which the original was very fitting as the skill was very swift and clean and the original was probably the best fitting for that skill. Same with Storm Dragon Awakening > Storm Dragon Kick.
Glaiviers got a change in the skill name from Vault (which is precisely what they were doing) to THORN JAB. What thorn? And what Jab?? The localization team is doing some disappointing work ngl. Itâs actually quite shocking that someone okeyed these skill name changes since the sounds so cringe
Really, RoxxâŚwhat on Earth is happening? Iâve noticed soo many inconsistencies and grammar issues in terms of translations, and localization and itâs justâŚbecoming a meme at this point.
Guys just stop messing around with words! JustâŚthe first level is to make sure the text is grammatically correct and addresses the correct gender. Then we can talk about evolved stuff like skill name changes which I donât know why theyâre happening since there are other pressing issues to attend to.
Haha I noticed that also, Vault was ok still, but Thorn Jab is just blasphemy.
E.g. the awakening skills for Glavier is also a bit weird, itâs ok but for example on RU the bubble explosion was called Milky Way which is very fitting.
See how I remember that name of the awakening skill but not the Western version that Iâm playing daily.
Itâs because debuff also applies to stuff like bleed, and lots of things used to incorrectly say they would make you immune to debuffs when they would only make you immune to âstatus ailmentsâ, which is anything that stuns you basically.
I donât understand why they couldnât just have specified movement debuffs like they do in reference to how the effects are lessened for PvP but whatever.
