DR_Mechano Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I'm fine with the new name BUT I will throw my hat into the Ring for Surge Protector or Voltaic Recovery. Both abbreviate down to SP or VR, none of which are currently used. EA is already used for Electric Armor AND Energy Aura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And could be used for Earth, Electricity, and Energy Assault, which is why people usually refer to them as earth, elec, and energy; there's also ElA (Electricity Assault or Electric Armor) and a variety of other abbreviations that are taken from context - I doubt people are going to think that an EA/DP Defender is using Energy Aura.

DMW45 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 At this point I think they're just keeping this thread around for fun. I think we'll even keep it after the powerset goes live, and they're having threads up for Page 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugzug Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I agree that the new name is sort of at odds with how most support sets are named. Galvanism is definitely my favorite take of the suggestions here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_NOPE_ Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well, let's look at the sets that have come before, and see if there's any sort of pattern: Cold Domination Dark Miasma Empathy Force Field Kinetics Nature Affinity Radiation Emission Sonic Resonance Storm Summoning Thermal Radiation Time Manipulation Traps Trick Arrow Errr... umm.... nope. So, I think whatever the devs want, with some advice from the playerbase - perhaps a poll, and the Devs pick from the top three vote-getters? 1 I'm out.

I've been trying to find combinations, Galvanic Affinity etc. But Galvanism is my number one, maybe in part because I've got an Elec controller named Galvanic Gal I did as a 30s-40s throwback.

It's a naming convention for power sets which is, simplistic and alludes to the function of the set. It's not specific to support sets, It's why most things have their literal description in the name, with support they deviated a little because Bubble Support or Healing Support might be a little too simplistic and not very heroic sounding so they went with Force Field and Empathy both of these are still simplistic and give a general idea on what the set might be through the name. Electric Affinity works out nicely because it's simplistic and alludes to it being a support set, which was my issue with shock therapy and 95% of the names suggested so far, they meet neither of those two qualifiers for the overall naming convention of power sets and fit in more with actual individual powers, like surge protector or galvanic (see the ability in the set named Galvanic Sentinel).

Tugzug Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well, I won't lose any sleep if it remains Electrical Affinity, I just think I'd prefer a less ambiguous name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
