jojobanutz Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 As a mirror to 'Ravage', how about 'Devastate' ? It has a similar meaning, but without any overt 'evil' connotations. I much prefer single word descriptions for stuff like this, and besides, 'Blade Dance' sounds poncy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pscyon Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 More than whatever the ability is named, it'll be interesting to see if they finally fixed the stupid animation glitch that causes you to always perform a "block" when the ability ends for whatever reason.

Pirana Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Keep it at Master Strike or go with something simple like Blade Strike. The renaming of this ability is unnecessary and idiotic. Edited September 5, 2015 by Pirana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glower Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Maybe just rename all the other "strikes"? Damn what a silly reason to rename something familiar in the game... Edited September 5, 2015 by Glower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eartharioch Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 1) @ ppl advocating "saber" over "blade" -- I agree, but we already have Blade Storm (>> Force Scream), so "Blade" is "correct" -- ofc, I'd have no problem if Blade Storm was renamed to Saber Storm. 2) RE(1) -- Blade/Saber Storm would actually be a good rename for Master Strike, since "storm" connotes multiple swings much better than "Strike". That said, here are some alternatives: o Beatdown (probably too Sith-y) o Master Beats (probably the best technical term, but probably unsuitable due to T rating) o Erosion (the origin of 'ravage' is damage from water over time -- http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/ravage) -- this is probably the "best" term as in meaning the same as the Sith version in Jedi terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glower Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 o Erosion Sorry, but it is more suited to Sage (flying dirt, rocks etc)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjax Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) I think Flurry is a good base word to use. I think Saber should be something righteous sounding instead maybe? Don't mind Saber Dance, but, ths is a really good one because it harkens back to the double (triple later) strike from KOTOR with the same ability name. Saber Flurry?

Glower Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 For me Master strike/Ravage does not looks like a Flurry... or dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafaman Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 So, IMO, shouldn't be changed. It should remain Master Strike. I really don't understand the need to change it. I read the explanation, and, really? Nah, don't change it. If you have to change it consider the following. -Slap in the Face (my personal fave, yeah it makes no sense, but it would be great.) -Shamwow -Truth's Radiance -Aggressive Negotiations -Quest for Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadSkywalkur Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 iv got a few Swift Slash Swift Sabers Swift Flurry Richard Simmons Flurry Twist Twisted Sister Energetic Saber Rush Knight Master Night Slash or my personal favorite Master Knight Knight, because you will go to sleep after being attacked by this. The first three 'swift' ones are probably the best suggestions in this thread. Any one of those would be so much better than blade dance. Some of the others though... Flurry Twist sounds like a cheap energy drink Twisted Sister seems too sinister for a jedi Energetic Saber Rush the result of a jedi drinking too many flurry twists Night Slash a knockoff rock band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladestorm is a terrible name for what the ability is. Who votes that we rename Master Strike to "Bladestorm" and rename Bladestorm to something that actually indicates it's a Force power instead? Concussion, maybe? Twisted Sister seems too sinister for a jedi Energetic Saber Rush the result of a jedi drinking too many flurry twists Night Slash a knockoff rock band Just for the record, Twisted Sister is a rock band But that second line made me laugh way more than it should have after defining "flurry twist" as an energy drink.

Reno_Tarshil Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I really like Saber/Blade Flurry a lot, like others have said it harkens back to the original KOTOR move and fits the naming scheme they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyinSpaghetti Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Master Flurry Master Slice Master Stroke...

AlrikFassbauer Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 LOL Maybe Bioware should make a contest out of that ? "The will of the Force in a blade" or "The Force driving the blade". But that's far too complicated. My intention was to express that the Force was somehow helping to drive / use the blade ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diviciacus Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I like this one. The problem with "Devastate" is that it comes from the Latin verb devasto, devastare, which means "TO TOTALLY *********** RUIN SOMEONE'S ****, AND THEN KILL THEIR DOG." Caps mandatory. It's even less Jedi-like than "Ravage." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
