invalid Change Augmentations to Augmentorations

[ILiveOnTheChatBox123 936]

Hi folks;

Many players have seen this topic: https://en.tankiforum.com/topic/385914-augments-for-turrets-container-changes-etc/page/30/?tab=comments#comment-6792425, or have noticed the changes in the game, and the overwhelming majority of players have negative feedback on it. I think that the cherry on top is that our beloved alterations now go under a corrupt name of “augments”. Not only does the name have a sinister ring to it, and it seems to scream, “The devs got you!” but it does not fit the definition. The word 'augment' means to increase, and since alterations augments usually do have drawbacks, they are not just an increase, but also rather a change. While ‘alterations’ are the correct, it seems that the devs dislike it, so I am not suggesting that. Rather, the term should be ‘augmentorations’ which is a hybrid between augments and to ration. This term correctly fulfills its definitions since it is an increase that is rationed, a non-complete increase. This is beside for the fact that this word is simply more creative, and Tanki has been willing to name many of its turrets with more creative words, whether they are grammar perfect.

I think this would be a great PR move. It shows that even if large parts of this update somehow remain, Tanki can still say that they are listening to player’s feedback about the update.

This is beside for the fact that our revered leader @Maf has coined this term, and we ought to fulfill his wishes.

Thank you effort in reading this, please leave your thoughts down below.

Valid.

 

I will change the topic title for now, but most likely, it will be changed back to "Ideas for Augmentations!" after a short period of time.

Might as well get your laughs and giggles in now, rather than later

I believe you're referring to his supremeness, RIDDLER_8. Because I have no recollection of another revered leader.

Since it does not have any serious roots. The term "‘augmentorations’  is a hybrid between augments and to ration."

Idk, it just sounds right.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

How about "Alterations"

[Maf 32,326]

Honestly though, I think they should be renamed to "Devices". It's easier to pronounce, and it's actually a more accurate translation of the Russian term "Устройства".

The word "Augment" can't even be used as a noun, and the only noun form it has comes with the description: "a vowel prefixed to past tenses of verbs in Greek and certain other Indo-European languages."

All in al this is a terrible name.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

"augmentorations" is great word, sort of thing you'd expect to hear on AvE's YouTube channel

It is a terrible word, no disagreement there

Enhancements, Supplements, Reinforcements; so many terms to choose from and the developers chose... Augments. --_--

Or just simply remain alterations.

[ILiveOnTheChatBox123 936]

When I say augmentorations I mean if the devs are stuck on the word augments then let it at least have a cool twist. But a lot of the options brought up in this topic would be good alternatives.

I don't know why @Maf didn't respond to that rip on him. I guess the truth sometimes hurts XD.

Hey what do you think of 'Alter-Upgrades' ? This is because the current 'augments' are better versions of their default versions but are altered in their mechanisms. I think this phrase describes the current augments perfectly. It's definition could be like the following-

Alter-Upgrades- These are special upgrades found only in containers and shop bundles which alter your equipment a bit but make it stronger than it was before. 

I guess that works, though "devices" is shorter and simpler.

But does 'devices' describe it's use?

Doesn't have to accurately describe it with the name. I mean, "modules" aren't exactly modular, "drones" don't behave like real drones, "supplies" are more like boosters, etc.
