Checking with Andrew on these skills. Not sure if the decision to leave the descriptions blank was a design decision or not. Bobby Stein 22:52, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm assuming the additional info on this is meant for Giant Stomp, as nibble does not have an impact site. However, I'm only seeing one Giant Stomp skill, which has a 4 second cast and 32 second recharge. There's only one nibble that I see, which has a 2 second cast, and 0 recharge. Could you give me more info on what you're meaning with this(what monsters are using the different skills)?Andrew McLeod 20:26, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Additional info: The summoned creature is called Jack Frost rather than Spirit of Jack Frost, uses Snowball, which is a spell rather than an attack skill, and does not seem to be a spirit, as it is vulnerable hexes and conditions.

Should be: It seems that another spirit stands before me seeking answers. There is little in this world that I cannot see, and for the cost of one Lunar Token I will divulge many secrets. What do you wish to know about?
Additional info: NPC takes Tokens not Tickets so should be updated to avoid confusion. It may also be that the NPC should be taking Festival Tickets rather than Lunar Tokens.

Wouldn't you know it that this very bug landed in my inbox as the live build was running, so it was too late to fix it before the event. I went ahead and corrected the text after the fact, so this will be good for next year's celebration. Bobby Stein 19:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

This is NOT only a text bug. In some (can't confirm all) areas, killing elementals while under Elemental Hunt does not give points. Tested in one zone so far... The Sulfurous Wastes I did not get credit for any elementals while under this blessing. Scratch that, was looking at Sunspear title, not Lightbringer =( — Rappy 06:26, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Additional info: It probably should say /report, since /repurt isn't working.

Bork! Bork! Bork! This would take too much effort to fix. Considering the whole Chef-a-tron speak is a joke, I'm going to chalk this one up as "by design." Bobby Stein 22:35, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes Localization: Spanish translation of "Miniature Celestial Rat".

Error: It sais "Cerdo Celestial en Miniatura", which means "Miniature Celestial Pig".
Should be: "Rata Celestial en Miniatura".
Additional info: I don't have a Miniature Celestial Pig, so I can't test if the Miniature Celestial Pig translation is also bad. Perhaps it's only a mather of translate one for another.

This has been reported on Spanish Localization Bugs.

Yes Localization: Spanish translation of "Eldritch Ettin".

Error: In the Quest Log, the "La Jungla de Cristal" Quest (Crystal Method Quest) sais "Derrota al ettin sobrenatural", but the boss is named "ettin espeluznante".
Should be: "Derrota al ettin espeluznante".
Additional info: I think the boss name is the correct translation for Eldritch Ettin, so you only have to change the Quest Log entry.

Additional info: This is in the new Concise skill description option.
Hope this helps. -- Tarun 03:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the "a" is optional in that sentence actually. — Galil Talk page 03:58, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
No, it is not an optional part of the sentence. Try saying it aloud to yourself. Which sounds more natural and correct? The sentence with "You have a 75% chance..." -- Tarun 21:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes Skill: Glyph of Restoration

Error: In the concise Description it says "Your next 2 spells heal you for 30, and you are"
Should be: Your next 2 spells heal you for 30 health, and you are
Additional info: The Word Health is missing after the first number!
SilentStorm User SilentStorm MySig.png 00:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

This is normal for concise descriptions; they all omit the word health -- after all, you can't be healed for anything other than health. -- bcstingg (talkcontribs) 17:35, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Correct, this is by design, and is in fact one of the main points of Concise descriptions in that it removes what is expected or redundant. Hope this helps! --Chelsea Kibler 22:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes Skill: Drunken Master

Error: Current text :

(60...90 seconds) You move 10...15% faster if you are not drunk. You move move and attack 25...33% if you are drunk.

Shouldn't that be "You move and..." with only one move? ;) -- Tarun 17:27, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

User Klumpeet Klumpeetsignature.jpg Klumpeet.talk.cont. 12:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

It merely implies that the next skill may be cast instantly. Not that it may or may not be. IE - "You may walk down the hall now." and not "You may be able to walk down the hall now." UserDrago-sig.gif Drago 19:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

- anja talk 13:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Similar is also seen on other AoE hexes. Shared Burden, Deep Freeze, Rust, Frozen Burst and Ice Spikes also list the hex duration after/in the statement that it applies to foes in an area. --Aspectacle 21:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
And Dulled Weapon. --Aspectacle 02:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes Skill: Infuse Health

Error: The concise description lists "lose half current health in grey text.
Should be: Maybe not an error, just pointin out
Additional info: None

I think that is intentional, as it is the limitation or negative side effect of the skills use and these have been shown as grey across all skills. Unfortunately it makes the negative part of the skill very easy to skip over! --Aspectacle 20:25, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
This is by design, but it is unfortunate that it makes it easier to ignore. Chelsea Kibler 19:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Bug opened by QA. Will be assigned to a writer/editor for further analysis. Bobby Stein 20:03, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Improper grammer, should be (...anyone struck by its attacks are...) or (...its attack is...) Rappy 00:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Izzy taking a look at this. Bobby Stein 23:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
No, the grammar was correct. The noun for "is" is "anyone," which is a singular pronoun. The word "attacks" is part of a prepositional phrase modifying the participle "struck" and therefore its plurality is irrelevant. Zerin 22:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
There is still a bug case open on this. --Andrew Patrick 19:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Additional info: None
MiraLantis 00:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I spoke with the writers about this, and apparently this was a design decision based on the fact that it takes a while for the delayed effect to get to the target before it takes effect. Thus it was decided that these skills would be called "slow projectiles", which differ from projectiles in that they cannot miss. --Chelsea Kibler 19:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Then the Deathly Swarm concise description needs to be updated to use "slow projectile" - currently it uses the traditional method of describing the skill behaviour. --Aspectacle 00:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Error: Concise description describes the binding ritual to summon the spirit instead of the attack the spirit uses
