Lord_DraeGon Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The names of the abilites Project and Telekinetic Throw seem to be swapped. To me, Telekinetic Throw should be an ability that picks up an object and throws it at a target (what Project currently is). And Project should be an ability that channels the force to project objects toward the target (what Telekinetic Throw currently is). Just seems to me that the names are swapped.

Lord_DraeGon Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Really...no one else sees the logic in this... the name should reflect the skill, should it not ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djspyder Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I had this same thought somewhere around lvl 10.... I don't think they're ever actually gunna swap the names tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruzzz Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 project and throw are synonyms, you can make the same argument in reverse because they literally mean the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Serp Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I think Project and Disturbance should be switched, that way Project could be instant like the Sorcerer equivalent Shock, and Disturbance kind of sucks anyway so you'd never really use it. I like the animation for Disturbance but hate the ability, can't stand Project because it's too slow to use most of the time in PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the animation for Disturbance but hate the ability, can't stand Project because it's too slow to use most of the time in PVP. Well said. Many people have asked for this. Giving project an activation timer fixes about half of the problems with that animation. But given all the problems it has, its name is really the least of its worries.

capitalbel Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I used to get confused between the two abilities because it sounded like they should be named the other way round. I don't actually want it to be changed though, that would just confuse me all over again. And probably anyone trying to communicate about the abilities.

steistei Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I totally agree with the OP. I thought of this as well... the names made no sense. Your PROJECTING small debris at a target Like a lamp is projecting light onto a wall or using Telekinesis with Telekinetic Throw to THROW boulders at your target.

That actually makes sense. It feels to me that "project" fits the channeled spell more that "throw" does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
