Spark Renamed Shock

  I'll still be calling it Spark most likely. Shock just does not fit at all.
  
  Yes, they are putting effort into unnecessary places. I wonder how long they agonized over the choice of "Spark or Shock" while they could've been fixing already-existing spelling and grammar errors elsewhere (anyone else remember Esras being called a HE?).

  Why are people saying that they won't use Shock because they're used to the skill being called Spark? Remember when we got Assault, but Nexon changed it to Charge, and people complained about the name (don't blame them, Assault is cooler sounding than Charge)? And now the majority of people call it Charge, so it's the same thing here. As for Life Drain, sure, the skill window calls it HP Drain, but you use Life Drain crystals, and Life Drain sounds more natural than HP Drain.

  
  
  This. It's just the texts, get over it. The skills won't be changed, only the name will be. :T Sure, I don't like some of the names Nexon did, such as Life Drain into HP Drain, but I deal with it.

  They should really work on not getting owned in their videos...
  
  That being said, I don't really care about the name. I'll still be calling it Spark because that's what I'm used to...I suspect they never even knew we called it that.

  I would've thought that they could've easily redid videos so that they don't look like they get ownt in them xD
  
  (so I thought they did that on purpose) or rather they didn't really get ownt at all, but I wasn't sure what happened near the end

  What did charge used to be called before it was renamed?

  Shock: a sudden and violent blow or impact; collision.
  
  Spark: to send forth gleams or flashes.
  
  Spark fits more.

  I don't like the name ._.
  
  The life drain -> HP drain wasn't too bad but spark -> shock is just ICK.
  
  And nexon should seriously hire better people to do their demo videos. I mean, it could seriously be more polished, and the person should definitely not get their arse handed to them in the end :l

  
  
  HP Drain is a typo.
  
  Nexon calls it Life Drain in their strategy guides on the website. :P

  I'm rather amazed at myself that i read this entire thread...
  
  I seriously couldn't care less what the hell they call it. Considering i STILL don't have arrow revolver, fireball, or ice spear on a single character i doubt I will ever get shock/spark unless I spend an eff ton of money on it only to be used twice or something. Meh.

  I'll always stick with MATER PARK.
  
  Because we all know that is the right way of typing it.
  
  
  
  
  Anyway, shock ain' that bad...
  
  I was expecting Electocution

  I'd rather stick with the original name since they usually sound better than the NA version in my thoughts but my friend persuaded me in thinking Shock sounds a bit more cooler than Spark. As long as "Shock" manages to stun the monster the whole time it's active then I think it suits the skill well. Then again, their trailer for the skill on Youtube shows the player get slapped by a bear at the end as it fades away.

  Spark.Shock. Spock.Whatever.
  
  Ephy just doesn't like that these pages will all be timed...they'll be like the AR/FB pages now.... >_< Say goodbye to Basic Wizard runs people. :P
