I was considering starting another page on equipment "suffixes", but figured we should decide if that is the term we want to use. (I know Cmal did not necessarily like it).--Boggyb 16:40, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
I don't like it because I feel there's a more appropriate term. I just can't think of what it is (sometimes I've referred to them as "enchantments" on the forums, but that's not necessarily adequate, either). --cmal 18:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
There are two reasons I think the term "suffix" is used. 1) It comes at the end of the name which is, of course, the appropriate location for a suffix on a word. 2) It reminds people of Diablo 2 which either officially or unofficially used that term. An argument could be made that the intertexuality (stealing Mikhail Bakhtin's term. Hey, maybe my $80K liberal arts degree was not a waste of money!) of using the term "suffix" would bring about more comprehension than a more technically correct word.--Boggyb 19:48, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know about this intertextuality thing, but if suffix was good enough for Diablo, its good enough for me. --cmal 01:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- The final question is, do we think that needs its own page, or should we add a description of their effects (I doubt we have the range of them, but thats ok) here.--Boggyb 21:11, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- I think it warrants its own page. What I was thinking was a table with a column for all the suffixes, a column for whether it can occur in weapons and one for armor, and a fourth column for their effects. The Armor section needs to be reworked, too, and more in-depth info about the different weapons and armor needs to be added. --cmal 22:05, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
On another note, can we please get rid of this line: "It has been said by Tenboro that the armors have "Four kinds of cloth, three kinds of light, two kinds of heavy"." I know wiki's need links and documentation, but that information is not particularly useful or obscure.
- That's one of the things that needs to be cut out when the armor section gets redone. That section is back from when we were still trying to figure out what equipment there was, so we need to update it with something more informative than just a long list of every piece of equipment.
