When I first saw this skill for Kinesis I was super excited to get my hands on it for GMS and the name of the skill was so cool and fitting for the name. I've waited such a long time and when I found out we're finally getting our 3rd V skills I could not wait any longer so I kept looking at new updates for maplestory.

It was a few days ago that I had actually found out the translation version for GMS which is "Psychic Shockwave." This to me felt weird because if you look at the video, Koreans have already translated it to "Psychic Bullet" which in my opinion sounds 10x better already than "Psychic Shockwave." To expand further on why I think the name should be changed to Psychic Bullet is that the skill itself forms into a vortex that looks like a bullet and at the end of the skill animation a black hole begins to form. It looks and sounds nothing like a skill name "Psychic Shockwave" could ever be appropriate for in this context. I hope Nexon actually looks over at this because as small or insignificant it may be this change makes a huge impact on players who main Kinesis and actually look forward to the new skill we're going to acquire soon.

    Already a thread about this with Mech. with a formal reply about the translated names.

    Yeah but I'm certain it won't be for all classes, only for "popular" ones.
