Did GGG Purposely mispell Samnite?

Yes indeed. Good job OP
That was a quick fix!

Samite Helmets have been renamed Samnite Helmets.
Lol first thing I did was look for this thread after seeing that patch note. Very nice.

I was actually surprised how quick that happened. Did not notice until now as I remembered I made a thread about this.

I HAVE DONE MY PEOPLE PROUD!!! lol
I like the neutral language of 'have been renamed' rather than acknowledging it was a typo or general fuck up. Gotta save face in the country where devs traditionally choose death before dishonour, New Zealand.
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.

Considering that patch notes benefit from being concise, I think you're reading too much into it.

You have your real answer -- it's almost certainly a typo, given Samnite is a type of gladiator and that helmet is without doubt that of a gladiator's.

Interesting that it's a typo that still has almost related meaning though, which could be why it's flown under the radar for so long.

On the other hand, MAYBE they originally intended it to be samite but given it's a heavy-type helmet, I doubt it.

Miscommunications within the office aren't exactly rare. Whoever named the item quite possibly didn't design it.

Also, compared to the staunching/stanching confusion, this one's pretty harmless.

Still, RHYS or MARK1, if you're watching, this is one for you.

I only read the first page of this so maybe someone said this but i also find this weird as the whole samnite set isnt even of armor like this one is a slik looking glove but then one is a glad helmet i think

Guessing they just messed up what item it was and never fixed it cause the other set items are all the same looking
