(Disclaimer: I have no skin in this name game, am not participating in the discussion that Paradox describes, I have no influence one way or the other over how items are named, and I don't feel strongly one way or the other about "blighted".)
Blight is a word used IRL mostly to describe plant disease, and secondarily as a general description for something that has been spoiled or damaged. What about it gives you such a strong "fantasy RPG" feeling? Is it the Undead Warcraft 3 sprawl thing?
It's the normal naming convention in fantasy literature and games, rarely used in sci-fi due to people usually connecting blight to plague, famine and disease. Even though many sci-fi writers (and tv series) drop the "Blight of the mankind" all the time, it's usually connected to loss, failure and death. It's not a bad word, just not really used in sci-fi, more in fantasy and high fantasy. |

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions regarding that. here are some suggestions,  Gimmick Waste of ISK Never going to be used Basically every suicide ganker ever would like to have a word with you, sir.
Turning a 100mil thorax into 100mil + xx mil * 5 (maybe up to 80 mil a pop?) for 8% more DPS is not something you'd do unless you are sleeping with the loot fairy and catch at least 10 plexes per gank. |

Bronson Hughes wrote:Regarding my thoughts on Blighted Weapons and T3 Destroyers: I really have no evidence to back my thoughts that the two were meant to be coupled other than the timing of their release. Mostly, its driven by a desire to believe that CCP isn't so completely far gone that they would introduce something so remarkably underwhelming without some way to actually take advantage of it.
Time will tell.
Guns: Phoebe, T3 dessies: Rhea. |
