Miner52289 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Just today I finally found out why there was no "Dragon Dagger (p++)" in the GE. The reason? Instead of logically following the pattern of: Dragon Dagger Dragon Dagger (p) Dragon Dagger (p+) and making the dagger with the super poison++ called "Dragon Dagger (p++)" Jagex decides to call it "Drag Dagger (p++)". I mean honestly, wtf??? I've had the stupid (p+) for the longest time because I thought it was the best dragon dagger but no, Jagex just has to use their terrible naming system...and I could've been dealing more poison damage to Iron/Steel Dragons and KBD all this time...UGH that pisses me off. Other item's I've noticed this with are some trimmed dragonhide items (both the blue and green D'hide (t) bodies are named the EXACT same thing, same with the chaps) Anyone else hate this as much as I do?

Skully Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Not really, I have the intelligence to search for Dagger if Dragon doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenrir321 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I find that shortening the name is superficially extraneous to the name or conservation of memory to store said name. They really should just name it dragon dagger (p++). Not for the reason you stated, (use the knowledge base or fansites for looking up poisons...) but just because it would make sense.

Zierro Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 My guess is that they don't have room to put Dragon but they have room to put Drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Which really makes sense. It's been the drag dagger (P++) for a very long time now, if I remember correctly... I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Herblore Guide: Weapon poison (p) Weapon poison+ (p+) Karambwan paste: Can only be applied to spears (kp) Weapon poison++ (p++) It's not Jagex's fault you can't pay attention to the game.

Xx_Flare_xX Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 They used to be called DDS but Jagex thought it meant 'Dragon Dagger Saradomin' so they changed it to 'pee plus plus' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yomyth105 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 im not a member but some of these idiotic names come across in f2p as well. i think that the ge database should pick up "nick names" for example. instead of writing scimitar u just need scim or scimmy.

That would be hell. First off, you can do "scim" because its part of scimitar. And as for scimmy, its not always called that. Iv seen cimmy, simmy, sim, etc. WAY too many and no one would be able to find anything. They just need to fix the certain things. 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 For a while I just thought they couldn't be bought on the GE, but I knew they existed so I just bought a normal dragon dagger and super poison. Addy stuff really annoy's me though... there's addy, adam, adamant, and adamantite. I think that's a bit much.

SomeWelshGuy Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I agree, especially with the Addy, Adamant and Adam point. That's a lot of names. Of course, you could blame him for not searching "dagger", but it still should not be like that. Perhaps a system where searching "dragon" for example brings up results for all the official names used, for example "dragon dagger (p+)" and "drag dagger (p++)". Retired Tip.It Crew Mapper.

Yea, why should Jagex make players strain themselves to type in all 2 of those extra letters to get a proper word. What country does Jagex work from? Pretty sure we're sending our money to aid in the new Soviet Regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seogege Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Well, I don't much have a problem with the metals, cause really, I don't much use adamant anymore. Plus, I knew that DDS's still exist and do exist cause I had one before and after the update! The major problem I see with this is in Construction. Construction flatpacks have really really messed up names. One even had 3 apostrophes in it. "Oak Ar'm'r C'se" or something like that. JAGeX might be able to do something like add tags, but so far their search system is still based on the names of the items (that they make up!). Click Here for my RSOF 99 Construction G&A thread!

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Well, how would one go about making those items easier to understand? Poisoned Dragon Spear Super Poisoned Dragon Spear Karambwan Poisoned Dragon Spear Ultra Super Poisoned Dragon Spear ... Personally I like the shorthand better. Just flip through the KB and you'll get it sooner or later. Adamant is worse, it has adam, addy and adamant. Adamantine. I thought it was Adamantite. What is Adamantine?

Adamantine is the attempt to try to name the adamant set of items. Adamant is the metal. Adamatantite is the made-up ore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdakilla Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Adamant, but, hmm no spell check for the word "adamantite" might just be me though but i don't think the word "adamantite" is a true solid word. but thats just me and possibly off topic. dragon dagger(P++) is a bit long so they probably tried shortening it and putting it in a different category. so searching for (P++) in the grand exchange shows all of the dragon daggers in a list. weird, eh? its a big stupid as well because if a beginning player tries to search for a (P++) d d they possibly wont find it. such thing with tz shield, (obby shield). dragon dagger, dragon dagger(P?), dragon dagger(P+), "drag"dagger(p++). but yeah its a bit odd that they would miss categorize dragon dagger. i'm sorry if i'm typing a bit to much. Adamant: sword, shield, plate, plate legs, helm, etc Adamantite: The ore? and, or; the bar? Adamantine: ? thanks to axeraider70 for creating the beautiful signature!
