There are a few issues I have with the tooltips for the various kinds of Empowerment Catalysts:
All Empowerment Catalysts
Empowerment Catalysts claim in their description to be catalyzing
agents, but there is a slight problem with that. Considering Secret World Legends favors British English spelling and/or uses a style guide employing similar spelling choices, then this should almost certainly be catalysing
. For example, Secret World Legends uses analyse
, not analyze
, and paralyse
, not paralyze
.
Or, perhaps a more relevant example to the Balance Pass: Secret World Legends uses Cauterise
.
All Empowerment Catalyst items should likely instead use catalysing
to follow consistency with the rest of the game.
…and it’d be awesome for confirmation of a SWL style guide~ Which I now really want… for Reasons.
Synergizing Empowerment Catalysts
In addition to suffering from the wayward catalysis, the Synergizing Empowerment Catalysts all say anima energy
when all other Empowerment Catalyst types - as well as all of the new Distillates - say anima-energy
.
One might want to consider Synergising
as well as Energising
for the Empowerment Catalysts and Energised
for the Distillates, on that note.
Less of an issue, but still something I will note while I’m at it is that since Synergizing Empowerment Catalysts all have the same template text, they say “When used to empower a . . …” regardless of whether or not what it empowers starts with a consonant or vowel. It can get awkward when the subject does require the use of an
, since it will just keep using a
. Presumably this is just due to how the tooltip is formed, so I can’t get too mad at it.
TL;DR: I have a mighty need for consistency.
