[Suggestion] NA/EU Classes names - same for all regions

[Ende]

Could you please consider keep the same name for all classes like in other regions like Kr/Jp/Ru? or at least change the ones that sounds awkward?

Every time I see scrapper I have goosebumps ... what it's a Scrapper? taking scrap pieces from the floor? punch their enemies until they are scraps? What's the problem with infighter?

Swarmer or in-fighter is a kind of boxer that specialize in short range and have good moving so can short distance fast with the rival. Western people is familiar with boxing, so what's the problem with the name infighter for NA/EU?

Something to consider is that if some content creators create guides in other region, they will create the guide using their name of the class in their region.

You are forcing the community to know the name of the classes in their region and other regions if they want to keep updated about what is happening in Kr before it arrive to NA/EU.

I think there is already a lot of confusion in forums, youtube/twitch videos, discord channels etc about the class names from people who already play in Kr/Jp/Kr and people who is looking for information with the "brand new names in NA/EU"

I suggest to address this topic or at least have some thoughts before final release.


@Windsward Thanks for your time and support

Definition of scrapper
: FIGHTER, QUARRELER
also : a fierce competitor

I don't mind either name, but "Scrapper" isn't confusing =P

Agree, if we consider all the renaming of classes, the scrapper is the most controversial.
But on the other hand, I want to say that I liked some of the new names more than the old ones. For example Paladin, Gunlancer, Deadeye.

nothing controversial about it .it is a fantasy game .if you are going to mix real life with your video game journey then you have a problem.

I agree with OP, no need to change class names, they are good.
And the new ones are wierd.

[namepeeky]

I would like the same @OP, but not enough people are complaining about it, so it isn't going to happen unfortunately. Sigh, oh well...

[TraXim]

Yes i agree too. Keep the same names! Because all the guides that are already published, its very confusing for new members.

Soiler info: most EU countries don't have English as their native language. So class names and everything else ll be translated accordingly.

That is other of the topic that worry me.

As an example, Hawkeye have been translated to sharpshooter, but in Spanish (I'm Spanish native speaker) is "Francotirador", that translated back to English means Sniper. For me a sniper is a person who use long distance rifle, not an archer class

Blaster have been translated to "Artillerist" but in Spanish instead of "Artillero" they translate to "Artificiero" that is the person who is specialist in explosive like defuse explosive or mines that is not exactly the same that the class intent to do.

And going back to Scrapper, in Spanish was translated to "Matona" that is more like a "Thug" or a "Bully" is that the meaning you want to give to the class?

Other problem is for example Dominic translated as Shadowhunter, but the reaper is more a shadowhunter character than the demonic, what name are you going to give to the Reaper that is more accurate when is out?

From my point of view, for the translation they are taking a dumb file into amazon translator in AWS and take an output and paste it. That is a huge mistake. Or at least, things like, Class names, character names, city names, even skill name should be done in a manual way.

More localization will be done for you.


Language, voice, name, skin, NPC, payment process, balance, content update schedule and difficulty, etc.

There are tests and forums to hear your opinions, and answers to them.


What you said is only a lack of localization, there is nothing wrong with localization.
Amazon will be working hard to increase localization and IP block exclusions.

Your experience with servers in other regions may be different, but it won't be bad.
Believe it.


Of course, for countries other than EU/NA, this localization is far away.

i really wonder who translated these names..,
some of them. really doesn't make any sense. and i know for sure the dev or w/e did this never played the game. really sound some old geezer did this... its unbelievable bad. the KOR/RU are 100% better.

Ive also noticed that whom even did the translation seems to have done some of them just too literal and it make skill descriptions a bit hard to understand. damn but that Buddha Palm getting changed to Heavenly Squash hahah

Yeah. That isn't the only thing they changed that sounded really bad, but I'm not sure if I can talk about it. Oh well... just trust me, it was awful.

Oh jesus, i think we vets have a big disadvantage now :P
That's what i really hate about these big corps. they never ask the community or people, for advise/opinion or any contribution. like Sywo or any other gamers that have been playing since KOR. i know for fact if they did that, all these crazy things wouldn't have happened.
