GDchiaScrub.3241 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I have pushed for reinstating Demon Summoning Runes, and now I have found a new crusade that needs to be fought. This one change has been affecting many role players in World Versus World. Lances are not thrown, and yet we have been forceed to witness the inconceivable! A throw-able. Dismounting. Lance. Please rename it to something that is more immersive for the function it serves. The two notable suggestions--spear or javelin--can be thrown because I have evidence on my side to prove this.

Dawdler.8521 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 From wikipedia:The name is derived from the word lancea - the Roman auxiliaries' javelin or throwing knife; although according to the OED, the word may be of Iberian origin. Also compare λόγχη (lónkhē), a Greek term for "spear" or "lance".A lance in the original sense is a light throwing spear, or javelin. The English verb to launch "fling, hurl, throw" is derived from the term (via Old French lancier), as well as the rarer or poetic to lance. The term from the 17th century came to refer specifically to spears not thrown, used for thrusting by heavy cavalry, and especially in jousting. The longer types of thrusting spear used by infantry are usually referred to as pikes.Anet just chose the rarer and more poetic version :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time for change, and they need to come back to 2019. This game is diverse, and isn't solely Old French, Roman, nor Iberian. This will represent a step towards modernity. We have golems after all.D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
