Bobby, Here's the Template!

Thanks so much for offering to accept the text bugs onto this discussion page. I will now paste in the information about the templates that we've been using between double lines. (Including a nice banner box for the top of the page.) You're free to modify the process as you see fit. I would suggest that you might choose to put this template information (and banner) on the User talk page, so that folks can continue to use this helpful (and familiar) means to report text bugs! -- Gaile User gaile 2.png 02:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Below are the current text issues that I have transferred from my Text Bugs page to Bobby's page. He will be handling text issues now.


Thank you for getting on board with this project, Bobby! I will be putting a redirect on my page to head folks over here. :) -- Gaile User gaile 2.png 02:31, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


Yes Skill: Signet of Return

Error: When used against an invalid target, error message is "invalid spell target."
Should be: "Invalid skill target." or "Invalid target."
Additional info: None

Isolated the string in question and found a possible alternative one to use in its place. Forwarded issue to QA. Expect this to be an easy (albeit low priority) fix. Bobby Stein 20:41, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes Quest: Norgu's Nightfall

Error: Quest descriptions doesn't state that Norgu is a required hero.
Should be: Should read: "Required Hero: Norgu"
Additional info: The quest can almost be done without Norgu, but in the end you can't receive the award for the play without having Norgu in the party. Also, I got the impression that having Norgu in the party during watching the play would add more lines to it. More details at the quest page.

Requested text update to add Hero requirement. Should reflect in the next live build. Bobby Stein 23:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes Quest : Scrambled Reinforcements

Error: Commander Hixx says "Mamp developed a super-heated staff capable of doing the job", but the Master Dungeon Guide says "In response to this sticky development, Gadd developed a super-heated staff..."
Should be: Either Mamp or Gadd in both the quest dialogue and the dungeon guide
Additional info: None

Yes Skill : "Finish Him!"

Error: When used against an invalid target, error message is "Invalid spell target."
Should be: "Invalid skill target." or "Invalid target."
Additional info: None
--NieA7 21:46, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

This appears to be a similar bug to the one affecting Signet of Return. Forwarded issue to QA. Bobby Stein 20:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes Skill: Gelatinous Absorption

Error: Description says 0 seconds
Should be: Change the listed duration to the correct time (I think it's 10 or 20 seconds
Additional info: The skill description is also poorly worded with "...all damage dealt to caster heals caster." Partly because of the poor grammar (in my opinion), and second- it's a skill, not a spell.

Opened bug with QA. Will forward to the appropriate coder or designer to fix duration variable. Will likely reword text as well. Bobby Stein 20:56, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes Skill: Siege Devourer Feast

Error: When used without an exploitable corpse within range, the error message is "invalid spell target."
Should be: "Invalid skill target." or "Invalid target."
Additional info: None

Tedium 04:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Have to repro this one on live or dev. If a player can quote the exact text (either in a screenshot or by posting a sentence or two) it'll be a lot easier to track down. In the meantime I've looped in a designer for clarification. Bobby Stein 00:02, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
