    I've seen a few versions of the plural form of Dox.

    Why am I creating this thread? Why not?

    So... what does everyone call it?

    I prefer Doxen myself, But a few people (my friends) think that it sounds stupid and they go with Dox.

    Oh, hell no. What is this, a Christmas carol? On Dasher, on Prancer, on Doxen and Blitzen?!?

    One pair of pants, twelve pairs of pants.
    One gangly moose, three angry moose.
    One dox, a deadly tide of five thousand remorseless, swarming dox. :p

    But doxen just makes grammatical sense.

    One ox, several oxen.
    One dox, several doxen.

    Doces, naturally. Just to keep in line with Uber's treatment of the Latin language. Cough.

    No, but seriously, is this the official developer feedback?

    Because Scathis believes they are doxes.

    I think the plural of dox should be left to personal preference :) I like Doxen, but sometimes Doxi. And other times, just bots. Occasionally I think of them as scampers, because they scamper, even though I never played that patch. Actually I think that makes scamper a nickname for them.
