Jesus, people are so mad about words. How about allowing the devs to use their free speech?

Looking forward to trying Palentonga again now. I’d also suggest not changing marksman to marksperson. You might mean well, but the -man idenitifiers in words like these aren’t being used to denote anything other than human and are holdovers from Germanic/old English. It comes across as just strange and fake to make the change.

All people complaining about marksperson, why haven’t you complained about stuff like markshill orc, marksant and 20+ other cases?

What TAS said, plus I still want Vampires to be non-binary, and that’s a non-sequitor :)

I can’t see why this is important at all really, but since people seem to care and are both upset and misinformed…
1. Markswoman is an established term used since over a century ago and even more in recent years. Marksperson seems like an easy way to not have to say “marksman/markswoman” every time.
2. If it was up to me I would not care what the devs decide on, you could use any of these three terms (or archer) all the time, I wouldn’t mind either way.
3. Arcane is the biggest insult! I do NOT want to be playing a character in any way characterized as arcane.
4. Thanks for all the hard work and the lovely game.

Never understood stuff like “Marksperson” its not Marks Man its Marksman like hu-MAN.

We are all MANkind. Its not malekind.

Naming some persons “arcane” one deliberately insults a bunch of not arcane persons)

Great work by the way, I am waiting for the final 0.29 release impatiently.

If you want to avoid gendered language in the class selection something like “Arcane Archer” sounds a lot more natural than “Marksperson”.
