SE, the puns are getting out of control

[Yarem]

German Names for the quests are boring:

Eine neue Bedrohung: Garuda
Eine neue Bedrohung: Titan
Eine neue Bedrohung: Ifrit

I like the funny english names for the quests more. :/

Oh dear, those are indeed quite bland. :|

Quest names. Dialogue for NPCs. Quest Text. FATE titles.

I'd take a bit of clever humor over a bland sentences any day of the week. There are literal gems in a lot of areas that had me burst out laughing, which I think makes the whole thing worth it. It's a game after all. It's meant to be fun.

And the fact that a lot of it is aimed at adults makes it even more funny. Like the Captain and his two Mi'qote partners. "Whose turn is it to work the lever tonight?"

[Vydos]

I won't lie. "Go kill Titan, again" Would have made me laugh as well. Would have been even funnier it Titan extreme was something like.
"You know the drill..." To simply joke with how many times we're fighting the primal(s)

[Razzle]

Argh... I got nothing to complain about!

I know! Quest names!

[Darkshneider]

SHARKNADO. that is all

[diulalasing]

Out of control?

Perhaps Inner Quiet will help...

Look, I'm not asking you to shun all the puns. I'm just saying it's not fun when you punish us with the constant use of puns. If you have a good one, then use it and be done. If not, I'd rather read none than be overwhelmed with a ton.

It's pretty obvious that you don't like wordplay at all when you have the gall to raise such an insignificant complaint like this on the official forums.

It's actually a pretty valid argument. People just can't seem to grasp that I'm arguing quality over quantity and not against puns in general.

For every clever pun that someone posts in here, there's an equally bad and nauseating one. For example, how about "Mud About You" in Mor Dhona. It grammatically doesn't even make sense. Wtf does killing mud puppies have to do with Paul Reiser anyway? Is it funny? No. Is it clever? No. It's just bad.

You have to realize that even the bad puns can provoke a thought along the lines of "That is just stupid", where as any normal quest name wouldn't even register in most peoples minds.

It's all about creating a lasting impression! In marketing, they always aim for staying away from normal for this exact reason. Whether an advertisement is good or bad doesn't matter as long as it registers the viewer to think about what they just saw. I sure as hell can't think of a single quest name from any previous MMO (Aside from a few that involved sexual innuendo's), but I still recall the stupid pun games all the players would play in chat...(WHY?!?).
