Doc Buzzsaw, The Freakish Lab of Dr. Vahzilok Loot the Unsuspecting Council, Savaged Vandal Left in the Dark (clue): 'You kept the trend of embarassing him alive and well.' should be 'You kept the trend of embarrassing him alive and well.' Steal from Crey, Changes to the Revenant Formula (clue): 'There has been substantial conditioning changes to their reflexology and more immune-bolstering tweaks to the code to combat aggressive infections.' should be 'There have been substantial conditioning changes to their reflexology and more immune-bolstering tweaks to the code to combat aggressive infections.'

I just had this happen to me, but I never even got near Thornbird to aggro him. He was still standing in his original spot doing the fist-smack emote as I fought some other mobs who were not near enough for him to see. Although he never moved from his spot, the mission immediately failed.

It's been a while since I played a Stalker, but I have experienced each of the anomalies described in this thread.

Ashley McKnight, Midnight's Hand, Nymphus Visage clue: 'Ancient columns push up into the darkness and as you breath in you smell the sea air.' should be 'Ancient columns push up into the darkness and as you breathe in you smell the sea air.'

Operative Rutger, dialogue when he opens his store: 'You've proven that I can trust you a little farther, Character.' should be 'You've proven that I can trust you a little further, Character.' In American English, farther is for physical distance, whereas further indicates conceptual distance. (In British English, further is used in either case.)

Lt. Demitrovich, Plant manifest on cargo ship, Debriefing: 'Even if Wyvern denies smuggling illegal goods it'll drive a wedge between themselves and Longbow.' should be 'Even if Wyvern denies smuggling illegal goods it'll drive a wedge between them and Longbow.' Incorrect usage of reflexive pronoun, because the 'it' in 'it'll' is the denial, not Wyvern.

I don't see anything wrong with that sentence. It's ok to put the prepositional phrase in front of the direct object like that.

Nerva Wreck Tour Guide mission: 'Despite a plethora of confirmed villains operating in the area, none of them have approached the wreck.' should be 'Despite a plethora of confirmed villains operating in the area, none of them has approached the wreck.' (Prepositional phrase 'of them' does not modify the singular pronoun 'none') also 'You have always wanted to lay on a bed of pirate gold.' should be 'You have always wanted to lie on a bed of pirate gold.' Assuming we mean to recline and not... uh... to get romantic...

Lt. Demitrovich, Distract Longbow in Nerva, Briefing: 'That should keep them busy well the Arachnos team gets their work done.' should be 'That should keep them busy while the Arachnos team gets their work done.'

Jumped the Shark 'Forged by Hellfire' Tour Guide tip: '...there are no shortage of accounts that detail the immense profits they make...' should be '...there is no shortage of accounts that detail the immense profits they make...' Shortage is singular. The prepositional phrase 'of accounts' doesn't affect the form of the verb.

Willy Wheeler, There's a Sucker Born Every Minute, Capture McKnight: Gender pronoun error. Although I'm playing a female widow, a random Arachnos mob said, 'Keep an eye out for <character name> as well. He's the one who helped McKnight escape in the first place.'

Wow, not only the start of the winter event, but so many fixes! Xmas has indeed come early! Thanks yet again for the above.

If I can press my luck with the requests, would it be possible to look also at the behaviour of combat NPCs (especially the flying ones like Imperious and Daedalus) where you're sitting quietly, preparing to take on the next group of enemies, and they suddenly rush about 20 yards in a random direction, pause, and come back to the group? This is separate from the perception issue, as they're not being aggroed by enemies, but just do a sudden random rush that sometimes results in their being within enemy aggro range and sometimes just kinda makes the rest of the group stare at them with a sort of 'What was that all about?' look. Edit: Just to note this has always been an issue since the olden days.

Heather Townshend, Finale: Moment of Judgement, mission entrance pop-up: 'The sewers of Dark Astoria have been warped by the Mot.' should be 'The sewers of Dark Astoria have been warped by Mot.'

I can't sell to any of the SSA contacts, blue- or redside. I always assumed it was WAI -- possibly something to do with the TF mechanic used for the SSAs.

Thank you! You get a zillion cookies for this. 🙂 On a related subject, has something changed with combat NPC perception? In the DA arcs like the final Cimeroran one and the final final Mot one, they seem to aggro on bunches of distant enemies that they used to ignore till they were closer, making them even more suicidal than before.

But it's completely out of line with the difficulty level of the rest of the non-trial Incarnate content. The more I think about it, the more fascinating I find that assertion, given that the Heather Townshend arc provides the same reward table.

Can we get an option (maybe w Null the Gull) to put the cyclopes and minotaurs in Sister Solaris' Incarnate arc back to their original versions please? Having tried it now, as I expected the final mission of this arc with the suicidal NPC companions has become deeply unpleasant to attempt to solo.

SSA Pandora's Box, Heldenjaeger, Save City Hall: If you try to enter City Hall you get a pop-up saying 'You must defeat the Circle of Thorns before entering City Hall.' I expect this is from a different mission that uses this map, but in this case there are no CoT involved.

If you created the existing excellent tour guide tips, I'm happy to wait till you have the time. I still admire the way you matched the tip text with the style of the badges to which they lead.

Since Dream Doctor told us that dreamspace can be used for time travel, does that mean if we keep dreaming of being able to teleport to these zones, we'll eventually be able to? 😁

I suppose I can understand why this was done, but that arc was already a PITA to solo. Now it will be even worse. It's quite out of line with the difficulty level of the rest of the Incarnate arcs.

Are there Tour Guide tips for these badges? I've been murdering random Cimerorans for several minutes but haven't received any tips.

Also, what does 'Sister Solaris' story arc now uses Incarnate versions of Minotaur, Cyclops and Romulus' mean? Are these even tougher versions of these enemies?

Are the innertube emotes on the emote menu (if so I can't find them) or are these manual-entry emotes only?
