Why is this not called "The Krangler"

Seriously, its a fantasy game. blood crucible? cmon, get creative. there's already a cult of us that call vaaled items 'krangled'. you dont need everything to be edgey, toss us a bone here!



Krangler or bust.

I would leave modern meme subculture out of a fantasy game context.

If you need memes, there are hundreds of sites out there offering them in every possible shape and form, do not need to introduce them here where they definitely do not belong.

Naming stuff after memes and word choices of kids on the internet, yeah that sounds like a perfect way to ruin a game.

Didnt World of Warcraft do that for like, 10 years, and still become the most successful MMORPG ever?

If they had called it "Krangler" someone would have made up a different cute replacement for it. You use the term because it allows you to identify with a sub-culture of players. If it was official, it wouldn't work.

actually it's crambler, and the meme started here.

we created it to describe the crafting process which is "crafting + gambling" = crambling.

eventually, fat reddit hobbits stole our creation and changed it to "krangling", so nobody would notice their thievery and malcontent.

but we know.

I can imagine people looking at the "Krangler" (had GGG named it that) and going:
"That thing is implanted into my body and looks like some weird alchemical instrument, it uses blood. Hey, why not call it the Blood Crucible. What a silly name Krangler is."
