Official Blood Wars Board | Print: New 'the's that dont make sense

Posted by DemonDude on 08-09-2008 at23:33:

New 'the's that dont make sense

And any other new changes that arnt proper!!!

Well i dont think these work

of the Guile
of the Suicide
of the horseshoe
of the betrayal
of the Fire Rate
of the Long Range

And i think these work with 'the', but sound better without it!!

of Night
of Shadow Hunter
of Ruse

And Smuggeler kind of works better without it too!!!

Anyone agree or dissagree?? Anything to add??

Posted by PureDoom01 on 08-10-2008 at00:06:

you fogot of the long range it sounds awful and doesn't work Tongue

Posted by DemonDude on 08-10-2008 at00:08:

Edit it now =D

Posted by fool on 08-10-2008 at19:41:

i think all of them realy don't work

Posted by Hespera on 08-10-2008 at19:47:

I don't like any of the newly added "the" to items.

Posted by bobalob57 on 08-10-2008 at19:48:

well tbh im used to them being without the 'thes' and that is the way i had become to no them as, but i think after a while we will get used to the changes, but i agree to the changes of the ones that shoudnt have them, as that is what i started my other thread with

Posted by DemonDude on 08-10-2008 at22:33:

Yea, but do sound really kewl!!!
I mean

Bloody Helmet of the Centurion

Sounds pretty Kewl!!!

Well, i guess all the better names will sound kewler and the not so kewl ones like addict and shiz will sound crap!!!

they didnt sound very awasome before either!!

Im happy with the the!! Im used to it now, and i only like a few of the the's, but il adjust!!!

Just want this list fixed as they dont add up!!!

Make it happen Mr. Sjezej

Posted by fool on 08-10-2008 at22:57:

the leader
the speed
the fox
the youth
etc it doesn't make sence for all

Posted by DemonDude on 08-10-2008 at23:02:

Well gramatically, 'of leader' dosnt work either, and of the leader works better than it!!
Same with fox!!

There is no

the youth
the speed

there still normal =D

Posted by Raxis on 08-11-2008 at00:12:

the leader
the speed
the fox
the youth

The Leader is grammatically correct unless you are deeminng Leader to be adresssing someone. Fox also works.

The Youth would sound like the song I am currently using as my tag, Youth Gone Wild by Hammerfall (Skid Row cover)

The youth would be adressing something

Posted by DemonDude on 08-11-2008 at00:16:

There is no the youth or the speed!!!

Check the auction drop down boxes for the full lists!!!

Not EVERY item has been changed, only the ones that at first glance to the team worked with it!!

This list is pointing out the ones that dont work and need to be changed back

Smile

I never said there was. My comment was purely speculative

Posted by necrol on 08-11-2008 at00:47:

suggestion: of the leader should become of leadership makes much more sense

Yes but u also mentioned speed which u never commented on!!! So i came to the conclusion that you were complaining about it, not speculating!!!

And i was only saying that they dont exist, not shouting!!! But i can look at it as a speculation so its ok!!!

Sori!!!

=D

Posted by Raxis on 08-11-2008 at01:04:

the word "Would" suggests speculation.

vest of the speed could work, if it was an 18+ game lol

Posted by Vercingetorix on 06-03-2009 at08:01:

Horseshoe, Long Range, Shadow Hunter and Smuggler all definitely make more sense with the article.

Vercingetorix that's your second Necropost, warning for you I'm afraid.

Posted by God_Like_Friend on 09-01-2009 at08:13:

Now these "the" have been added to item names in Necropolis, I thought they were removed because none of them made sense..?

Posted by Nemazis on 09-01-2009 at13:46:

Why have you brung the 'The' back again? It looks flaming stupid and makes no sense. Could you like... put it back, and AT LEAST NOTIFY US if your gonna change it, so we can argue and start being you with a salami?

Seriously, it looks really stupid with all the 'the's in almost every word

Posted by Paranoia on 09-01-2009 at13:49:

i thought they were back.... *sigh*

just leave them out ffs they fail

Posted by Vanargand on 09-01-2009 at13:53:

lol here we go again

Posted by KratosGod_Of_War on 09-01-2009 at13:53:

name

Yeah I just noticed that
Good Cape of the Death Sower (+2)
--------

Sounds strange

Posted by Lysandra on 09-01-2009 at19:20:

Some of them make sense though. 'the scout' or 'the death sower' make more sense to me then 'of scout' or 'of death sower' then again, those two suffixes could work either way depending on what your implying with the name.

Some are stupid I have to agree...and if we didn't like them so much (the 'the's), why were they brought back? :S

Posted by Paranoia on 09-01-2009 at19:35:

i dont have a clue but they were alot better gone in my opinion.....

why bring them all back secretly.... we as players actually do notive things like this you know dev's......

Posted by Szeszej on 09-03-2009 at00:19:

Better get used to them because they are here to stay and feel free to any non-sense ones so I can deal with it

Posted by Paranoia on 09-03-2009 at00:59:

Oh ok so just thrust something upon up after we all complained and got them removed . . .
at least next time let up know when your gonna change something so we can bitch before hand . . . .

Posted by Szeszej on 09-03-2009 at01:02:

Bitching? Not on this forum!

Anyways it's a change that just had to be done similar to suit/tuxedo

what being changed backwards and forwards without pre-warning?
yeah... smoothe manouvre...

Posted by Cthulhu on 09-03-2009 at08:50:

I didn't like them last time they were added, I was pleased when they were removed, and I like it even less now they are back without warning or chance for appeal.

They add unnecessary text and make the game less intuitively comprehensible. It's like adding "a shiny new" in front of every item, or "my good vampire, aren't you lucky?" at the end - unnecessary! Out with The Thes!

EDIT - sorry, this is Kalessin, C's signed in on my computer Tongue

Posted by Nemazis on 09-10-2009 at18:44:

Well that sucks monkey bawlz then, first you implement it, we bitch about it because it sucks, then you take it away.

Now you RE-IMPLEMENT it under our noses, and as soon as we mention it, you basically say "STFU N00B" and give us the finger?

You sir, can feel the wrath of my spartan scream!

SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

EDIT: Just for the sake of having a joke.

I'd be certainly more helpful if you pointed out any of the combinations that don't make sense until then I assume they are all sensible

Posted by OTNC on 09-11-2009 at01:28:

One thing that doesnt make sense [really], is why XXX of XXX is seperated by trade from XXX of the XXX

e.g., it would be much easier if it was laid out:
[shirt or XXX]
Shirt of the Cobra
Shirt of Dodges
...
...

Instead of:

Shirt of XXX
[a-z]
Shirt of the XXX
[a-z]

Posted by God_Like_Friend on 09-11-2009 at15:51:

Ones I don't think make sense:

of the Addict
of the Gladiator
of the Wanderer
of the Genius
of the Pilgrim
of the Apprentice
of the Fencer
of the Guard
of the Guardsman
of the Looter
of the Orchid
of the Smuggler
of the Shepherd
of the Strongman
of the Arms Dealer
of the Ancestors
of the Plague
of the Dryad

I think if you want to keep these "the" in the name then you should have of the Addicts or of the Strongmen etc. and that doesn't sound too good for all of them either.

Posted by Paranoia on 09-11-2009 at17:19:

in my opinion on this topic the dev's have adopted an "if it aint broke fix it till it is" attitude......

i wantthem all gone and i know alot of other people do too.....

so why not for once just give us what we want

Posted by Nemazis on 09-11-2009 at18:54:

Let's see... i think ALL OF THEM sounds stupid and crappy. Last time we though about all but two we're dumb. I don't know why you re-implemented it, and expect us to re-list the dumb ones when we already told you before.

lets have them all gone.

shorts of strongman makes sense and sounds right.

shorts of the strongman sounds too long winded, and has lost its 'oomph'

and the same for all 'of the's actually.

Posted by Mortis on 09-11-2009 at20:36:

Yep, remove them all. It was good before. No need to enforce grammar everywhere moreover where it's not needed.
