Talk:Assassin Gauntlet

To Merge or not to Merge?

Personally, I don't think this should be merged. The reasoning is that this is the same reason as the Hookblade, which is basically a Hidden Blade with a secondary hook attachment. This is a Hidden Blade with a secondary grappling hook and tertiary dart launcher attachment. In summary, if we are to merge this one, we should merge Hookblade as well, and since I doubt we're merging that, then I doubt we should merge this.GZilla311 (talk) 14:44, May 13, 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. This article's information should probably be on Hidden Blade as well, but the separate article might as well remain. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 15:42, May 13, 2015 (UTC)

Thing is though, the Hookblade page is bland and doesn't add anything really that new as what's elaborated on with the Hidden Blade subsection. Just trivia pieces. In all fairness, anything relevant on Hookblade could easily be transferred to Hidden Blade and the page deleted.

It seems a little silly for every new iteration of the Hidden Blade to have its own page when they're all just re-inventions of the one basic tool that all Assassins utilise with some new quirk. Slate Vesper (talk) 16:11, May 13, 2015 (UTC)

Well, that's fair. All I'm interested in is consistency. If we just combine all the articles into one, I'm fine with that. But let's see what other people think. --Crimson Knight _Intercom 16:28, May 13, 2015 (UTC)

I'd go for merging, but that's just my personal preference. Nesty ^{Contact me!} 16:47, May 13, 2015 (UTC)

I am also for merging. From what I've gathered, from various websites, the "Assassin Gauntlet" is nothing new, just the name of the bracer which most Assassins have already possessed. The new feature is the rope launcher, hallucinogenic darts already being a thing. Stormbeast ♉ ^{The Helpful Place} 20:53, May 13, 2015 (UTC)

Merge, as long as we're consistent about it. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 21:01, May 14, 2015 (UTC)

I am for keeping the articles separate. We have separate hookblade and Phantom Blade article after all. Perhaps the article should be renamed rope gun, since this is the newest feature to be included on a hidden blade. --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 22:29, May 17, 2015 (UTC)

To have that be the reasoning for keeping them seperate, when all are being proposed to be merged, is a little pointless. They're seperate for the sake of seperatism, and perhaps linkage. Given they're modifications to a base template, it'd be more understandable to merge to Hidden Blade and have their own subsection detailing them if they're truly that noteworthy.

Can we make a decision please? --Crimson Knight _Intercom 13:06, August 8, 2015 (UTC)

I say we merge them, but it'd mean that many of the Hidden Blade modifications that got their own pages might also have to be merged with the Hidden Blade page. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 13:14, August 8, 2015 (UTC)

Merging is clearly the most favored option, so that's the one we'll be going for. Amnestyyy (Contact me!) <helper /> 13:47, August 8, 2015 (UTC)

I concur. Will we be merging articles like Hookblade and Poison Blade as well? --Crimson Knight _Intercom 16:56, August 8, 2015 (UTC)

I think we should. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 16:58, August 8, 2015 (UTC)

Honestly, let's not merge this page and the other pages with the main Hidden Blade page. The reason behind it is like all the other variations of the Hidden Blade, all of them have their unique mechanics during combat or at least similar to it. Take the Hookblade for example. The Hookblade have the "Hook and run" mechanic which is unique to it. The same thing can apply to the Assassin Gauntlet with it's rope launcher and the integrated brass knuckles. We could still put some details about the Assassin Gauntlet in the Hidden Blade page. But put the combat and unique gameplay mechanics of the guantlet in it's own page. TheGhostSpectrum (talk) 06:54, August 16, 2015 (UTC)
