Pirits Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 guts is from the anime berserk, who funnily enough was an inspiration for artorias (I knew where guts was from but I've never seen anything other than the reference mentioned on the dark souls wiki) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BETAOPTICS Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Hey, you know what? This name was suggested in the Design Council. PRAISED BE THE FOUNDERS (and the one in particular who suggested Valkyrie/Valkyr/Valkyria first.) EDIT: Brimir was the one to suggest Valkyrie first. The grappling ability is also courtesy of the DC :P Yes, guess what. I am also in DC but you know there are tons of abilities and names to pick from so guess what, I did not scroll trough all of them, sorry :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brimir Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 You did what? I suggested the name change :) To be fair and modest, a lot of people did as well - I was just the quickest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I still say she needs a more animalistic name. Wolverine's scientific name is Gulo, so that's out, however, in the same family of Mustelidae there is the Tayra from Brazil. Tayra would be a lovely name, and it goes with Rhino as the other physical frame named after an animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirits Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I suggested the name change :) To be fair and modest, a lot of people did as well - I was just the quickest! A battle angel that takes your dead self to the long-hall of Valhalla looks similar/somewhat like a dragon, I wish I was a viking back then.

Kaian-a-coel Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 ikr, but you get to vote for a lot of stuff, and see them We didnt vote for her name, people suggested the name "Valkyrie" back when DE posted a WIP of her abilities. DE said nothing about it and we discovered with you today that they decided to name her Valkyr. Same thing for the grappling hook. Her 1 was supposed to be a crappier sonic boom at the time, and there was several pages of people suggesting the grappling hook in one form or another (alongside a crapton of other abilities). There was no vote, and DE said nothing until today. As for seeing things, well, they get leaked to reddit in five seconds anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no vote, and DE said nothing until today. As for seeing things, well, they get leaked to reddit in five seconds anyway. They probably just changed the 'crappier sonic boom' to be the second ability, they only mentioned the ult and grapple in the livestream, that leaves enough space for all of the wip abilities. Anyway it's a better sonic boom, it actually could do decent damage and with damage 2.0 health might not be as weak so the negative repercussions of the ability could be less of an issue.

globdom Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Valkyrie is basically a slightly better excalibur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudPies Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Valkyrie is basically a slightly better excalibur Excal presses 4, things around him die. Berserker presses 4, better hope you managed to kill everything with LOLMELEELOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CausticFibre Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Isn't Valkyr the drug in Max Payne that causes crazy drug fueled violence? If so it's a nice reference to the game and fits the theme accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatantfool Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Excal presses 4, things around him die. Berserker presses 4, better hope you managed to kill everything with LOLMELEELOL!

Archistopheles Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 DE loves melee weapons so much that skills are now dedicated to adding new melee weapons. Everyone thinks it's Scott and Steve that make the decisions... But it's really the sneaky gefu that gets the weapons added... Sneaky gefu....

CloudPies Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 If DC decided on zerk name, i salute to you guys. You are getting better after Nova fiasco. No we didn't. This is most likely a place holder name. Might be just a placeholder, the same way Banshee and Saryn have assets named, Decree, Asp, and Medusa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildJuice Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 S#&$, I don't wanna do anything when I press 4. Pass for me. Also Valkyr sounds more masculine than feminine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brasten Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) I would think Einherjar or some derivation there of would fit better going that route. The fallen warrior taken up Valhalla to fight and prepare for Ragnarok. Other thoughts along that line could be Freyja herself, or the Valfreyja (Lady of the Slain). While Freyja of myth I supposed to be the most glamorous of the goddess we find this 'Valfreya' brutalized by Alad V and his Zanuka project. Valfreyja Valfreya Valfriia This would also leave room for a Val* prime being far less roughed up. Edited November 16, 2013 by Brasten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Master_Race Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 It seems Prime frames come based on which were made first. It's followed the case, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
