I'll try to address the issues one-by-one.
Weapon/Magic/Armor/Ward
Even in english there's a lot of confusion. so I'd better explain what we'd like to do.
There are actually three different groups at play here: Rune name, Charm effect, Battle log.
The basic rule of thumb is, rune should be related to role-playing, battle log should be easy
to understand, Charm should be somewhere in the middle.
English texts currently don't follow that rule, but they should and we haven't done it yet
due to lack of time. Anyway, based on your suggestions, I think we should go with :
Armor (Rune) : 护甲
Ward (Rune) : 魔抗
Weapon (Charm FX) : 物理伤害 / 物理攻击 / 物击
Magic (Charm FX) : 魔法伤害 / 魔法攻击 / 魔击
Armor (Charm FX) : 物理防护 / 物理防卫 / 物防 / 护甲
Ward (Charm FX) : 魔法防护 / 魔法防卫 / 魔防/ 魔抗
Weapon (Battle log) : 物理伤害 / 物理攻击
Magic (Battle log) : 魔法伤害 / 魔法攻击
Armor (Battle log) : 物理防护 / 物理防卫
Ward (Battle log) : 魔法防护 / 魔法防卫
They are all fine actually, we only need to be consistent with whatever we choose.
Bane
No one knows how to translate this. Battle-wise, banes are over-time effects that
are attached to enemies, and harm them when they act. It's some sort of counter/restraining
move.
厄咒 / 厄运 / 灾厄 are all fine to me, I tried to stay away from 咒 because it leads to Curse
which was another category in e1.
Cursed Bane/Aura/...
Since it's so hard to come up with a good translation so I went with its effect explanation.
"Cursed xxxx" are effects that cannot be cleansed, unless someone comes up with a good one,
we'll stick to 不可净化的xxxx
Specializations (class)
I've already come up with their official names, some of them may not be grammatically correct,
I just liked how they sound. Please let me know if any of them bothers you, otherwise I don't think
we need to change them.
Berserker 狂暴士
Destroyer 毁灭者
Nightslayer 斩夜客
Soulreaper 夺魂魔
Vindicator 御前守
Runewarden 封符师
About lower tiers, Zhern's translations are good beside one : Crusader 理论家. In western culture,
crusaders actually left a bloody trail wherever they went, they are hardly someone who argue (理论)
They fought in the name of their god, WoW used 远征, so I think it's good for us too. I'd suggest
something like 远征士 or 远征者
City
Night Tear : 夜泣 was the one I first come up, then went with 夜嚎 because the latter sounded better to me.
Since you all like 夜泣 better, we'll use it instead.
Draka : 龙渊 is great! Much better than 龙窟.
Eversweep : not easy, it should have some melancholy attached, so I'd suggest 旭浪 or 暮波 if you don't like 永浪.
Eclis : the original name is derived from Eclipse, so 地蚀 is somewhat fitting. Also it's an underground city that
"eats away" / "rots" the earth, I kinda like it. I doubt I'll change it unless you come up with something much better
Main Characters
Much freedom here, we can basically call them whatever we like. So unless some of them
sound completely ridiculous to you and you come up with some really good ones, I don't
think I'll accept new entries
Thily 焇月
Duvecan 岩钢
Eolystre 破枫
Tyreph (pending)
Urdine (pending)
Cyardale (pending)
Secondary Characters
Do whatever you like ^o^
