Talk:Jade (species)

I hate the name "Jade" and "The Jade do this" and "The Jades are all..." this is bad English. Can we find a better way of saying this info? I know people in the came call them jades for short, but we can do better.

I much prefer we either move this info into Mursaat, or into the pages of the Jade Armor and Jade Bow. I also certainly hope there will be no category:Jade.

Also, the part about the Jade needing a Mursaat to Operate is incorrect, so I am taking that out. --Karlos 16:40, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * I agree, they should either be in with the Mursaat, or in with Golems. I think we can keep Jade as their species, but really at best they should be a sub-category of one of those two.  --Rainith 16:46, 8 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * Can someone check if they're golems with EoE? There's Jades and Siege Ice Golems in Iron Mines, although I'm not sure if they're close enough to be lured. -- Gordon Ecker 08:43, 28 February 2006 (CST)

Ping! If I do not hear any arguments today, I am shifting this to Mursaat and deleting this article. --Karlos 08:35, 17 October 2005 (EST)


 * I just stumbled across this. I'm glad the article hasn't been moved or deleted yet, because to me the Jade are a species separate from the Mursaat. They behave very different, e.g. they don't bleed and don't leave corpses, while the Mursaat do. I think they are golems animated by the mursaat as servants and guards, just like the Enchanted are the golems of the Forgotten. -- 18:50, 28 February 2006 (CST)


 * I haven't tested this with EoE myself, but I do believe that they're entirely different species for game purposes. Likewise, just in terms of the story and stuff, the Mursaat are ancient and powerful spellcasters and the Jade Armors and Bows are their artificial minions. If Forgotten and Enchanted get separate articles, so should Jade and Mursaat. --130.58 20:11, 28 February 2006 (CST)

Turning Jade Armors "on" :)
Ok, I reverted that "off" remark (again) because I think it goes AGAINST everything else in the game. I have not personally seen those "off" Jade armors/bows anywhere in the game. But I am sure ths user has. The conclusion I would draw is that it's a bug. Not that Jade Armors/Bows require Mursaat to "turn them on" (hmm, this sentence has very dangerous implications on the Mursaat). :) Look, the proof is easy, in that same mission, if you head to Leah Stone to get the bonus, you will have some Mursaat here and there. Take them out. You will be left with a group of Jade bows down the stairs, and two groups of Jade Bows on the top above the seal, then two Jade armors with the Seal, finally behind the sealed door will be a last group of Jade bows and then the seal where Leah is. ALL those are "turned on" by seeing your party and none of them need to see no stinking Mursaat to get turned on. :) Overall, you'll have to provide a lot more proof for this phenomenon that only you experienced before this information is credible. --Karlos 19:51, 7 November 2005 (EST)

Jade scarabs
should we put a note on here to avoid confusion? 18:58, 28 February 2006 (CST)


 * Good point. -- 20:15, 28 February 2006 (CST)
