[edit] Current text issues

[edit] Skill:Signet of Deadly Corruption

Error: Description states: "This attack deals 5...29...35 damage for each Condition on target foe (maximum 130 damage)."
Should be: "Target foe takes 5...29...35 damage for each Condition on that foe (maximum 130 damage)."
Additional info: PvP versions also says "This attack".

Thanks for the report! I've entered this into the database. Leah Rivera 00:53, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

This should be addressed in a future build. David Wilson 23:07, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

The future build is here! This should be fixed as of October 22nd. Leah Rivera 23:51, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quest: Random Arena (Zaishen quest)

Error: "Luck be with you; Balthazar's gaze is upon the Random Arena. Prove your prowess and return to Zehnchu with at least 5 victories to show that there's more than just luck on your side."
Should be: "Luck be with you; Balthazar's gaze is upon the Random Arena. Prove your prowess and return to Zehnchu with at least 3 victories to show that there's more than just luck on your side."
Additional info: Also, the Random Arena Zaishen quest objectives in English and Bork! Bork! Bork! text languages were updated to display the correct number of wins required (3, 5 consecutive, and 9); however, the quest in all other text languages still display the old objectives
(5, 5 consecutive, and 15).

This should be handled soon in English; it may take some time to get it taken care of in the other languages, though. Thanks for bringing it up! David Wilson 17:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I checked the quest text and it has been updated in all languages, but there are errors in Korean and Traditional Chinese.

• Korean: "*BONUS* Win 15 battles in Random Arena" should be 9.
• Traditional Chinese: "Win 5 battles in Random Arena" should be 3; "*BONUS* Win 15 battles in Random Arena" should be 9. --Silver Edge 00:48, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

For future reference, bugs in languages other than English should be directed to the Localization page for whichever language they are in. That way these issues can be addressed more efficiently. I've notified the proper people, and this should hopefully be addressed sometime soon. Thanks for letting us know! David Wilson 18:42, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Cinematic: Hidden City Of Ahdashim (cinematic)

Error: According to the subtitles text Varesh says "we must do this for the good of all Kourna.", when in actual fact she says "we must do this not only for the good of Kourna, but for the good of all Elona".
Should be: Varesh's subtitle should read "No. It all comes down to this. We must do this not only for the good of Kourna, but for the good of all Elona."
Additional info: None

This is being addressed. Thanks for reporting it! David Wilson 17:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Skill: Vow of Piety

Error: +24 armor and +# Health regneration.
Should be: +24 armor and +# Health regeneration.
Additional info: Concise description only.
Tedium 22:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

This is being addressed. Thanks! David Wilson 16:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quest: Polymock: Defeat Fonk

Error: The initial dialogue says "I hope you're wearing comfortable shoes, .". It seems between the comma and dot, there should be the name of the player instead of ", .", unless the sentence wasn't meant to be written that way.
Should be: "I hope you're wearing comfortable shoes, <player's name>."
Additional info: None

I've entered this into the database. Thanks for the report! Leah Rivera 00:36, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quest: Securing Champion's Dawn

Error: This is similar to the Polymock: Defeat Fonk issue above. Your character name in the initial dialogue when getting the quest from Castellan Puuba appears fine, but when you view it in your quest log your character's name is missing, ("Little did they expect we would be able to call upon such great heroes as you, .") Link to the image I took of the quest log.
Should be: Should be "Little did they expect we would be able to call upon such great heroes as you, [character name]."
Additional info: None
--Silver Edge 21:36, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I've entered this into the database as well, thanks for the report! Leah Rivera 00:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Cinematic: Gates of Kryta (cinematics)

Error: In the second cinematic, Justiciar Hablion says "You and your fellow Ascalons are welcome here.", but the subtitles read "You and your fellow Ascalonians are welcome here."
Should be: Correct the subtitles to match the voice acting.
Additional info: I've seen errors like these in other Prophecies cinematics (Factions, Nightfall and EotN cinematics don't have these issues).

I'm not seeing this; the text that plays for me in this scene says, "You and your fellow Ascalons are welcome here." Can you still get this? If so, please let us know how. Thanks! David Wilson 19:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

You are right. it was fixed and I had not noticed. So sorry for the false report. However, when trying to verify the cinematic, I noticed this: [1]. What is the "Temple of Mercy"? Could he be refering to the "Temple of Tolerance"? Or is this a piece of unknown lore? -- Large 14:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

The White Mantle were involved in many battles; this guard could be confused about the name of the temple, or it could be a battle at a different location. There are many mysteries in the world of Guild Wars. :) David Wilson 23:54, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dialogue: Vabbian Noble

Error: One of the Vabbian Noble's Dialog Bubbles displays "Did you know that I knew Kormir before he was a god? He came to one of my parties, once."
Should be: I am pretty certain that the last time I saw Kormir she was female so it should read: "Did you know that I knew Kormir before she was a god? She came to one of my parties, once."
Additional info: Screenshot

My initial impression of this was that it was a joke; the Vabbian noble hadn't really ever met Kormir, so he didn't know Kormir was female. But, after further discussion, and since this has come up before, we felt this should be addressed. Hopefully it will be taken care of in the near future. Thanks for posting!

[edit] Cinematic: Fort Aspenwood (Kurzick quest cinematic)

Error: The third time the player character says something, the text reads "Just point us in the right direction, and we'll do the rest.", however, the voice says "Just point us in the right direction, and I'll do the rest."
Should be: The text should be "Just point me in the right direction, and I'll do the rest."
Additional info: None

This should be addressed sometime soon. Thanks for reporting it! David Wilson 20:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Cinematic: Lion's Gate (cinematic)

Error: The first sentence reads: "Kryta. The City of Lion's Arch. 1582 CC." This is ok when coming from Cantha, but when emigrating from Elona it is still showing that text.
Should be: When traveling from Elona to Tyria, it should show the appropriate number in the Elonian calendar, including the DR (Dinasty Reckoning) notation.
Additional info: None

I've added this to the database. I'm not sure how soon it will get looked at, though. David Wilson 00:32, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quest: Borrguus Blisterbark (Zaishen quest)

Error: "*BONUS* Kill Borrguus Blisterbarkin Hard Mode."
Should be: "*BONUS* Kill Borrguus Blisterbark in Hard Mode."
Additional info: It's missing a space between "Blisterbark" and "in". Screenshot
