GM_Whale Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Sobek is an Egyptian god.... The moment I heard it was out I wondered why... so... why is it named that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saenol Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) He's probably a Goa'uld who was one of the founders of the Grineer... What? DE can rip off the Glaive (which is a misnomer if ever their was one) from Krull, but I explain away stuff with Stargate crossovers and people look at me all funny?

GM_Whale Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Well I think they just did it cos of Dark Sector lol... As far as what they were thinking back then ... well who knows haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saenol Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Well I think they just did it cos of Dark Sector lol... As far as what they were thinking back then ... well who knows haha There was a Sobek in Dark Sector? Or do you mean the Glaive? Cause the Glaive is from Krull, which is about 25 years older than Dark Sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause the Glaive is from Krull, which is about 25 years older than Dark Sector. No, no i mean continuing the trend of Dark Sector weapon just to kind of bring up an old memory.... And what is wrong if someone on the design or dev team or w/e really like that? They wanted to bring it to their game because it was something they enjoyed and others might too? It probably wasn't a rip off. You can't just think so negatively haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davoodoo92 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Pls dont start krull glaive. Oversized blade made for throwing isnt a glaive, end of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saenol Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Pls dont start krull glaive. Oversized blade made for throwing isnt a glaive, end of story. We all know that a glaive is a knife on a stick polearm, but the Glaive is a giant magical returning shuriken type thing from the 1983 film Krull.

VScipii26 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 What's wrong with it being named after an Egyptian God?We have Excalibur, a European sword. Gram is a Celtic sword. Paris is a city. Sarin (Saryn) is a deadly neurotoxin. Kestrel is a genus of Falcons. The Manitcore is a legendary creature. Sicarius (Sicarus) is a type of spider or word for assassin.I welcome our new found ethnic diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saenol Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Pretty sure a far future interplanetary culture will not be of any ethnicity we'd recognize, as well as incorporating elements from a multitude of historical ones. I don't think anyone was complaining about the name, just expressing curiosity as to it's origins regarding in-game lore. It probably wasn't a rip off. You can't just think so negatively haha I wasn't implying anything negative, but the Glaive in Dark Sector and Warframe is blatantly copied from Krull.

How ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
