Talk:Rods
From PSU Cyril Wiki
Rods or Long Staffs?
- It's just hit me - the board for Howrods describes them as a "Long Staff", and other boards in particular also seem to describe this weapon as "Long Staff". For the same reasons that bows are really "Longbows", should this article be renamed? - Miraglyth 19:21, 21 January 2007 (CST)
- Actually, on further inspection, all rods have "long staff" in their description. But why are bows called "longbows" anyway? I can't see any incidence of "long bow" in the game itself. - Miraglyth 19:28, 21 January 2007 (CST)
- Taken from JP I believe (ロングボウ = Longbow), but on US they're just called 'Bows'. Personally I prefer Longbows, if only because 'Bow' can potentially be confused with Crossbow. Mewn 07:32, 22 January 2007 (CST)
- Ah, but preference has no bearing on anything. If the game makes a point to call them "bow" all the time, then they must be bows. See: Photon Fortune, Universe Transporter, Save Marker et cetera. - Miraglyth 03:46, 23 January 2007 (CST)
- On even further inspection, it turns out that "sabers" are "blades" and all incidences of "twin" are "pair of". - Miraglyth 06:09, 23 January 2007 (CST)

- Yeah, 'Longbows' was just an old manual translation. I should have noticed this one's different too. -_- - Tycho 09:51, 22 January 2007 (CST)

Dallgunrods
- I've tried fixing this but to no avail, the 9* Dallgunrod is showing incorrect stats for the 14* model. Oddly enough it shows the correct stats on the preview but once you set the edit it reverts back to the wrong stats. - Jed sisko 10:49, 31 October 2011 (EDT)
- Weird. I guess that was something to do with the DPL template maybe getting crossed up with the two articles. I fixed it by un-DPLing those two. I'll take care of the rest of the article when I've got more time. (Slowly but steadily getting through them all!) Thanks for pointing that out! - EspioKaos 12:01, 31 October 2011 (EDT)
- No problem. I'll fix anything I can figure out how to fix as I find them. Anything I can't I'll just leave a note like i did here. - Jed sisko 14:26, 31 October 2011 (EDT)
