[Hell Raiser]

Not sure if this has ever been noted, but while in UW with my guild the other day I noticed something... odd.



As you can see, The name of the Reaper is 'Reaper of the Chaos Planes' When you have the quest "Restore The Monuments of Grenth" The name of the area is displayed as 'Summon the Reaper of the Chaos Planes' but when you talk to another reaper, it says 'Take us to the Chaos Plains'

I am pretty sure this is a typo.

EDIT: Thanks to whoever moved my post, I'm tired and didn't look first

[Zildjhan Muhammad]

I didn't know that there were airplanes in GW. :O

A typo that was mentioned in a bug thread that was locked, even though not a bug, is a typo worth nothing.

Health Degeneration implies a decrease in your HP over time. Therefore "5 Health Degeneration" would mean you lose 5 HP every second. However, as it is right now in GW, every Degeneration description says "-5 Health Degeneration"; a double negative, implying that you lose minus 5 Health Degeneration every second. X - - 5 = X+5.

In my opinion, this is no different than saying something like "This skill is not not easily interruptible", and needs to be fixed.

[KlutzySpy]

Not so much a typo, but its text that should be fixed:

DP.. When you hit lets say 50% DP, your life and energy should be ½ of normal - this is not the case... either they should fix it so it follows the percentence, or they should remove the misleading "%" and call it Death Penalty points.
same goes for the +10%

[Milennin]

Koss saying 'sholulder', should be 'shoulder'. It's his iddle quote while having Primary Quest Special Delivery open I think.

It's my thread that got locked, but I second it's a typo worth noting. However, a mod posted this wasn't a bug, but merely my opinion. It still seems funny this skill will heal you when you are hexed by it, according to the skill description.



Glancing at my Vampiric mod on my bow, I noticed this particular discription about degeneration differs from the skill descriptions. This is the way it should be displayed in the skill, like Zildjhan Muhammad and I mentioned.



It's really something that need fixing. Just make the skill discription 'foe suffers -5 Health regeneration' or 'foe suffers 5 Health degeneration'


[EDIT] Just found a skill, displaying degeneration as 'x health degeneration', an example of how it should be, as:

-5 health regeneration = 5 health degeneration

[skill]life transfer[/skill]

These are not typos.

"Target foe experiences -5 health degeneration"

This is stating that the foe will suffer a health degeneration of -5.

"Health regeneration -1"

This also is stated correctly. If it said "Health Degenation -1" this would mean it is healing you, not hurting you.

These are typos, your rapport just contradicted itself. A health degeneration of -5 is supposed to result in the ally gaining a regeneration of +5. It's the use of double negatives. If you don't know what that means, its a language term when you use two negative statements to resolve a negative. The result is positive. The focus of the life lost/gained is supposed to be determined by the words regeneration/degeneration, not by the number's negative inclusion.

At the end of the new quest to gain Olias, "All for One and One for Justice", i saw this:



Surely it should say "Krytan" instead of "Kryta".

you could be wrong or right, i think right because in kaineng it says canthan peasent instead of cantha peasent, but maybe there infering that there people from kryta

[BustroQuick]

Other ash spells say "You drop an Ashes of Mighty Vorizun." Inconsistency.

[Arduin]

When talking to Cynn (henchman) in the Consulate Docks lobby:



There's a R missing in Charr...

[TheLordOfBlah]

This should have been fixed LONG ago...



deldrimor dwarves much?

Don't forget Survivor Insignia, Vigor runes and Hale/Fortitude mods... it's the base 480hp on a level 20 character, that gets diminished.

[KlutzySpy]

Still its misleading :P

[Bankai]

No, it's been that forever, and it's quite normal.

However, it does get me into trouble onmy lvl 16 earth ele, which uses 2 superior runes.

10 hp at 60 dp ftw.

[Evilsod]

In the quest 'Familiy Soul' from Sanrah (?) in the Crystal Overlook.

The second stage of the quest tells you to go kill the Scarab Queen, Khephket Marrowfeast. The bosses name is Kephket Marrowfeast. Minor typo.

[Red_Dragon56]

Drakes on a plain.

The last thing Koss says (I can't remember it exactly, didn't take a screenie) It was like, "you want scythe?" Which would be fine if Koss was a stupid warrior but he isn't. Just need to add "the" or "that" or somthing and it would be fine.

Intermediate Dialogue 6

Lord Yama the Vengeful: You didn't suspect that drakes are naturally attracted to the smell of bananas did you? If not for these Sunspears you'd be dead!
Koss: Do you just expect us to give you (the) scythe?
Lord Yama the Vengeful: No, Sunspear. I expect you to die!



You are right, something is missing here

I was going to pass this off as Pigin English, but this might be the only instance where Koss talks as if he missed a word, and not because he sounds like a caveman :P.
