The Word "wraith" In Wraith Twin Viper (Word Order)

[leonvision]

first off, this thread isnt really gonna be focused on wraith twin viper, it's more to do with the naming convention.

 

as we know, we've gotten a dozen of prime, vandal and wraith weapons. the naming convention has always been to add the word "prime/wraith/vandal" as a SUFFIX, meaning a word at the end of the name. but now we have the wraith twin viper, which has the word "wraith" at the START of the name, a prefix. why the inconsistency?

 

i know this is abit nit-picky, but it's an easy enough "fix" to know, since we've seen DE change a weapon name before, at a whim(dakka prime->dakra prime). so it would be great if DE can hotfix the name.

 

if you agree there should be consistency with the naming convention, give this post a upvote. if you dont agree, feel free to give your opinion why, but try not to say "it's fine the way it is", again i know this is nitpicky..

Twin Vipers Wraith just sounds bad.

[nintega]

Consistency is just stupid when it produces bad results. Twin Viper Wraith, Twin Vipers Wraith, Twin Viper Wraiths, all of those sound pretty stupid. It sounds best this way.

I don't think I could ever call it "wraith twin viper". For me it'll always be "twin wraith vipers" or "twin vipers wraith" :V

[Doforcash]

it's awesome on my opinion

 

NOW CAN I HAD 1000 DISLIKE PLEASE [:< ?

What about twin wraith vipers?

[EganMC]

I always thought Twin Wraith Vipers would be much better.

Both of the guns are Wraith Vipers in their own right, only when together are they twins.

not pointing specifically at you, but why are they "wraith vipers" and not "viper wraith". we have strun wraith and machete wraith which both have the word "wraith" at the end of the name.

Because Grammar.

"Twin Viper Wraith's" would be the preferred term when twining a single Viper Wraith, just as you would have two Strun Wraiths not two Strun's Wraith.

 

It is possible to have Twin Viper Wraith the "Twin" identifier makes the added pluralization unnecessary just as they could have "twin gremlin"

 

Think about it this way no one ever said look at those "Sherman's firefly" and few ever said look at those "firefly Sherman's" but saying look at those "Sherman firefly's" is common.

Lets just name the single version Wraight, then we have a wraight version of that, and lets call the akimbo version twin wraight wraights, and add a prime to that somewhere too...or we can call them -those ketchup covered vipers sold to lotus by darvo after his night out munchies.

True, actually.

The augmentation is typically put at the end.

Twin Viper Wraiths does make more sense.

[Volume]

Just call them Twin Wipers.
