Process Notes

I'm going to use a check mark when I've passed along the issue to the Writing Team. Generally, when I pass something along, it's included in the next live build, so you can usually see the corrections in place within a week. --Gaile User gaile 2.png 06:17, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I've now created an archive for resolved issues. Once somone can confirm that an issue has been corrected in the game the issue can be moved to the currently active archive. Once the first archive gets large enough we can start a second one. -- Gem (gem / talk) 11:47, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
That's a great idea, Gem, and thank you for doing that! --Gaile User gaile 2.png 06:34, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

I added a resolved parameter to your template that should make the Yes check show up in the title correctly, you can add |resolved=true in to the template call and it should work automagically. --Tankity Tank 12:07, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes Manual: Minor Error (Krait)

moved from User talk:Gaile Gray

We have discovered that one paragraph in the Guild Wars: Eye of the North manual has a print error. Back in the early days of design, the team held discussions about where the krait would "live." At first, the designers considered having the krait based in in the Charr homeland. However, later on, the team decided to move the kraits' spawn sites to the Tarnished Coast. Somehow, the print manual contains an accurate first phrase about the krait residing along the Tarnished Coast, but then contains older text that conflicts with that text.

We have updated the PDF on the website -- it is now accurate. However, we cannot amend the print copy, and are providing the corrected text for your convenience:

Krait
Found along the Tarnished Coast, the Krait rival even the Charr for viciousness and cruel ingenuity. These semi-intelligent creatures are vicious and xenophobic, attacking all other species on sight. Little is known about the elusive krait, but a few witnesses describe an army of slithering, serpentine warriors that seem able to transform in the middle of battle into numerous—and much more dangerous—forms. The reports are incomplete at best, as survivors of these encounters are often too hysterical to recall any salient details. --Gaile User gaile 2.png 03:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I noticed this and pointed it out at Talk:Krait. I'm glad to see its been fixed. --- Raptors

Yes Nika Typo

moved from User talk:Gaile Gray

Sorry to clutter your talk page even more Gaile, but just fyi, it appears Nika has a typo in the Norn fighting tourny when she uses the word "heroe". Idk if thats intentional, but I thought I'd point that out. -elviondale (tahlk) 05:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

She could just be using a sort of "Old English"... any insight, Gaile? -- Jioruji Derako.> 07:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
I've passed that to the writing team. I wonder if there should be a GWW page for text errors. We don't have a lot of them, but a place for everything, and everything in its place? *ponder* --Gaile User gaile 2.png 23:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it's time to set up such a page, and I hope this works. (Please, wiki angels, feel free to amend if I've done this incorrectly!) --Gaile User gaile 2.png 05:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
This hasn't been fixed as of 15th September. -- Gem (gem / talk) 15:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Found the offending string and submitted the correction for integration. Will reflect on the live server in a future build. Bobby Stein 01:58, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Localisation Issues

Is there a somewhere a page to collect localisation issues, typos and other language specific errors? I stumbled over a few in the German version. --Fledermaus 15:04, 7 September 2007 (MEST)

There's the German translation task force specifically for German, but I do not recall pages for any other languages. — User Kyrasantae Fin sig.gif kyrasantae 13:26, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, we do not currently have pages for languages other than English, but I know that the Support Teams welcome input about any localization issues via the support interface. Some languages cannot be selected, such as Polish and Russian. Please feel free to send localization comments, input, and suggestions in those languages to the English-language address. Thank you. --Gaile User gaile 2.png 19:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there. Bobby Stein, one of the members of our writing team, has offered to be point of contact for text issues. I would like to ask that you please post directly on our new text bug page and we'll get those changes made and into the game. I've ported over all the existing but non-marked reports, and Bobby will likely be using the "check mark" system that I've been using on the new page.

Thanks to everyone for sending over those bugs, large and small, new and old! :) -- Gaile User gaile 2.png 02:34, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
