Recoil damage... it's more like impact damage, unless there is a general category of damage that other scenarios can fit, and recoil suits that group better, it'd be better to remove 'recoil' altogether and just refer to players damaging themselves thumping the damn things.

Affinity... just strikes me as wrong, but whilst it is possibly one way to go about describing this property of tools, the ingame tips while loading just avoid it with statements like "Picks harvest more flint, meat..." which would be my inclination as well.

Both of these are instances where your own vocabulary is simply lacking. Affinity and Recoil are commonly used terms in games, and are even both used officially within the context of ARK. They are both used correctly here. Your edit swapped "recoil" for "damage dealt to your own health"... the term you're looking for is "recoil damage". In this instance, you should just add these words to your own repertoire. 3mptylord (talk) 21:31, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Okey dokey! Internal lexis updated! hahaha. Thanks for the explanation.

I already raised an issue to admins that we need a glossary page for listing these sorts of terms to avoid this sort of problem in the future. Could you please provide links to places where Ark staff officially use these sorts of terms so I can familiarise myself with others? Thanks.

And thanks for editing my edits so it all just gets better :-) 𝑪𝒓𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒚 (talk) 05:16, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
