Troubling Titans stage 5 of 5, should be "didn't think this ...".

[GreyWolf5]

Not sure if this is a typo or needs to be sent somewhere else.  Never seen a sword that need stripes to put together and not a polishing stone.

Refined Iron Sword level 42.

Cerulian Rhinotaur under the Spellbook says "Ride your Aurelian Rhinotaur" 

[Spirit]

NPC: Soldier Carthern

Issue: Dialogue (before he gives you the quest "Lay of the Land".

 

 

It should be "I'm wondering if you would do me a favor?".

 

NPC: Captain Drake

Issue: Dialogue (before he gives "A Disarming Plan" quest).

 

 

Their should be There.

Is this also for the forum itself?

 

On the page "My Content" under "Profile" there is a typo "Toplcs and posts" instead of "Topics and posts" in the menu:

Thanks for all the reports guys. I've zapped most of those and have passed a few on to the relevant folks to get them sorted. Keep them coming.

Quest: Stage 3/6 - Always Remember Your First as well as the quest Old Ideas, New Applications - stage 5/10.

 

Issue:  instructions on the sign.

 

 

I believe the word "and" should be "then".

 

"Follow the road north then west". 

 

Edit: Drittan's Sir is resolved.

 

Quest: Calm Water Runs Deep - stage 6/6

Issue: Dialogue with Archmage Rufan

 

 

Shouldn't it just be task not tasks? 

 

Quest: Crimson Headquarters

Issue: Dialogue with Shadow Jackel

 

 

I think that there should be a period after Shadows and then capitalize We. 

 

And grup should be group. 

 

Quest: Crippling the Macabre

Issue: dialogue with Shadow Mcdonald

 

 

I think W should be lowercase w for windmill unless I'm mistaken. 

 

"Hey this is my windmill, what are you doing here."

NPC: Drittan

Issue: Drittan refers female players to Sir. lol

 

 

Should be either Madam or Ma'am - or however they say it in Eldevin

 

Oh and while talking to Drittan in his room in the Eldevin Barracks - he also keeps referring me to "sir" here too.

Interesting question here.  I suspect the protocols differ by military/country.  This post is from an American point of view.

 

The question is, should HCS go reality or Hollywood?

 

You are correct that in the (US) military you address female officers as Ma'am (or ladies for a group).  (Aside, Madam is never used due to the alternate definition of running a brothel.)  But the trend in fiction is to use Sir as gender neutral.  And using Sir for everyone does make more sense (avoid issues such as the correct address for a transgender officer).  So, as a game rather then real world, Eldevin can get away with Sir, right or wrong.

Ah interesting. Never knew this. I was only taught that the term "sir" was used to address males in a formal manner. And never knew that about madam - but that makes sense. 

 

Well like they always say learning something new everyday.

There's actually a conversation somewhere with Captain Carter where the player refers to her as Ma'am and she specifically tells you she prefers to be addressed as "Sir". The idea, as I understand it, is that the Eldevin Army doesn't differentiate between its officers based on gender. Or isn't supposed to, though some of them probably do. It's not offensive to address a female officer as Ma'am, but it does seem to be unusual, given how often the dialogue defaults to Sir. It's absolutely not a technical issue, we address the player in different ways based on gender elsewhere in the game.

Quest: Show Them What We Think!

Issue: Dialogue with Shadow Frodan

 

 

The 'now' isn't needed as it's already repeated again towards the end of the sentence anyways. Unless if that is how he talks... then that's understandable. 

 

 

NPC: Daishin Tilvani

Issue: Dialogue (before she gives quest A Suitable Fragrance)

 

Is it meant to say "do you"? Wasn't sure because at first I was thinking maybe that's how she talks.

 

 

 

So if it's not a typo/mistake, well ignore this then

 

Also same quest and NPC... for the next two typos.

 

 

No need for the word must in that sentence.

 

 

Think it's meant to be "breathe".

this belt seems to have an extra 't' attachment 

 

this one too

Edited by ZeusIV, 09 March 2015 - 17:34.

[Falbal]

 

I believe it should say "the most powerful" and not "the post powerful".

[Falbal]

Not so much a typo, but more of a mislabeling.

 

The chests we collect on Trapper's Atoll are called "Chest Token". Shouldn't that be "Token Chest" instead?

 

[Anakiro]

Thanks for those guys. I've corrected them all, though unfortunately I think they'll miss today's update.

 

Keep 'em coming.

[Falbal]

[Anakiro]

Thanks Falbal. That should make it into the next update.

Quest: Fragile Alliance / Stage 3

NPC: Quaestorian Lucius

 

 

Not sure if is a typo or lack of space, but it should be "Crab"

Edited by Blitzmare, 01 April 2015 - 10:50.

There are several quests where the space is not big enough for all the text. It probably should read something like "Bring # of # Crab Legs ...".

 

Typical examples of this are the daily quests. Compare the text to the left with what is written in purple in the dialog window. You can even see that the "e" has been cut off. It needs two lines to fit the text.

I won't find out which is correct for 7 more kills, but one of these has to be wrong.
