Could be all Catch 22, like Major Major!

Provost Marchand, New Praetorians, Arc 2 - text to click to accept mission:

 

'We're on it.  Tell me where one of the hotspots are.'

 

should be

 

'We're on it.  Tell me where one of the hotspots is.'

 

It's just one hotspot the player character is requesting.  Verb should agree with the subject of the sentence, not the object of the preposition.

In titles. Indestructible not ‘able’.

Provost Marchand, New Praetorians, Arc 2 Finale Debriefing:

 

'You pulled us through the brink of defeat and even destroyed a War Walker facility.'

Provost Marchand, New Praetorians, Arc 3, Defeat Maestro - if you don't complete objectives before Pendragon is defeated he says:

 

'My apologies, but Nosferatu has bested me.'

 

but he was fighting Maestro, so it should be

 

'My apologies, but Maestro has bested me.'

[ZekeStenzland]

I think this is one of those lines nearby NPCs say when you've completed a mission/arc recently. I assume it's related to the Fat Cat City arc from Basse Croupier in St. Martial. I was running that for Ouroboros badges. I was standing in the Golden Giza near Hard Luck when I spotted the NPC chat.

 

[NPC] Pasquale: I saw this guy partying with the Carnival who looked like that troublemaker politician from the mainland. Maybe he's got an evi

 

Looks like the text is truncated.

Angus McQueen, Division: Line arc, end of arc debriefing:

 

'She worried that if the Restructurists could restore contact with the Rikti home Earth, they would likely be given free reign to continue on Earth until they achieve victory.'

 

should be

 

'She worried that if the Restructurists could restore contact with the Rikti home Earth, they would likely be given free rein to continue on Earth until they achieve victory.'

 

The expression doesn't have to do with royal rule; it's from horse-riding.

[Cinnder]

Angus McQueen, Catch a hostile infiltrator in the Rikti before he can return to the Council, mish briefing:

 

'However, I was never able to act against him without loosing my own cover.'

 

should be

 

'However, I was never able to act against him without losing my own cover.'

Got this from another user:

"Raid the Banished Pantheon lair!", a villain alignment mission, says in its description that the Banished Pantheon has a cave with the artifacts in Sharkhead Isle. Yet once accepting the mission, you are directed to Cap au Diable to find the cave. This makes no sense. The simple fix is to change the mission description so that the cave is described as being in Cap. The complex fix would be to ensure that the door for the mission spawns in Sharkhead to match the description.

Tl;DR, mission text gives the wrong location.

What about typos that aren't actually typos, just completely wrong? The Broken Mind exploration badge in Underground Imperial has the following text:

"Deep beneath the Mother of Mercy Hospital, the moans of misbegotten Seers echo through these forgotten corridors. Their sorrow seeps into the minds of those who hear them, disrupting thought and disturbing the emotions. Tarry too long and your mind shall be broken as theirs"

Except the Mother of Mercy Hospital is in First Ward and nowhere near where this badge is.  Okay, obviously it was initially meant to be I'd say, because it's under the BAF and the BAF probably wasn't the original intention, rather the Asylum was.  Except the badge text got overlooked.  So I'd suggest a change in text for that to echo that it is the BAF that is above it.

Running thru the Hollows just now:

[NPC] Outcast Initiate Slicer: I'm going to be the snot out of the next guy I see.

 

Maybe if the next guy is a Hydra?

Truncated wording.

[tsargrad]

Not sure if this counts as a typo, but the description of the Wisegal badge (redside reach level 30) displays an alias instead of the badge's name.

Sunstorm, Rescue Lillian Issan from whatever trouble she's found, mission acceptance:

Sunstorm, Investigate the Cargo Ship, mission map entry pop-up:

Also, mission debriefing:

 

'With all the destraction and destruction caused by their attempted coup of the Council, no one saw it coming.'

 

should be

 

'With all the distraction and destruction caused by their attempted coup of the Council, no one saw it coming.'

Maria Jenkins - 'A Hero's Epic' - Her final speech.

 

"...Positron sent his early prototype armor to you. He believes that you were insturmental in stopping a Praetorian invasion, something he and the Freedom Phalanx couldn't have done without your lead...."

 

Should be 'instrumental'

[thunderforce]

So, ah, I'm not calling out anyone in particular here - we've all done it - but it's usually worth searching the thread for your typo before reporting. There's more than one occurrence of "insturmental", but this is about the fifth time it's come up (and presumably if anyone fixes these they'll just grep every string in the game for known misspellings...)

Zone: Dark Astoria, Incarnate content
Arc: "Burdens of the Past"

Mission Contact: Heather Townshend

Mission: 4.1.5 Finale: Moment of Judgement (wiki ref: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Heather_Townshend )

Error: At the final room, when given a choice to save either, both, or none of the heroes, if the "let them both die" option is selected, the Banished Pantheon start their dialogue and end up shouting multiple times: "The weight of sin cannot be beared!" This is a grammatical error. The correct phrase should be: "The burden of sin cannot be borne!"

One wonders if this was intentional torture on the part of the Paragon Studios writing team....

Unai Kemen, Save the carnies from the Praetorians, mish briefing:

 

'They are the Praetorian version of our very own Carnival of Shadows, and they are major players to the Resistance against Marcus Cole'

[Take One]

This here entire clue: 

 

It's very weirdly written, not just the "This is email message is from" but then the bulk of the clue kind of repeats itself. It would probably be best if the sentence that starts with "I have stumbled upon" is simply removed, along with the sentence following it that ends with "a computer at a Crey office".
