Report Typos Here!

[Aurethious]

The Katie Hannon TF listing in LFG has the merit count wrong. It lists it as 9 instead of 26.

No, 'another thing' is not the original usage, as you'd find with even a casual search — for example, Merriam-Webster.

Dialogue is not a typo if it is a thing that people say, even if it is not "correct" from a prescriptivist point of view. We had this already with "could care less". There's no reason to think that Metal Swiper routinely consults usage guides.

But you have fixated on only the first part of my post, utterly ignoring my acknowledgement that the error, despite being wrong, is still common usage (much like the people who would say "I literally died laughing" despite obviously still being alive to recount their reaction), particularly being spoken by a Freakshow, who as a group are not known for grammatical rigor.

I was proceeding on the assumption that you thought it was a typo, since you reported it in the "Report Typos here" thread; scrolling back I see that's not the case.

 

If you don't think it's a typo, fine - but why then mention it? If it could be "dialect or a typo", and the dialect seems sensible for the speaker, it's not a typo.

 

Prescriptivist arguments over what's "right" are pointless.

_I_ think it's a typo. Lacking insight into the reasoning behind the dialectical peculiar to the Freakshow, I reported it with the acknowledgement that it is a common error in usage, leaving it to the HC staff to make a final decision; I have seen both excruciatingly precise and grossly loose grammar from different Freakshow, so I don't have a basis to determine whether this particular instance was intended that way.

From mission description of Catch Archon Turley and Lt. Wester mission

It turns out that Archon...

[srmalloy]

Doubling of titles for Council mission bosses has been around since Live, either 'Archon Archon X' or 'Adjutant Archon X'.

[Wavicle]

Not exactly a typo:

When you begin the "Wheel of Destruction" story arc (think it's lvl 25 blueside), the first mission is referred to as Part 2 and the second mission is referred to as Part 1.

Was creating a new character and saw on one of the Mental Manipulation Powers - Scare, I noticed this text issues.

This guy in Brickstown should probably not be trying to point the player (set as Vig) to the broker in Nerva.

Check your character's alignment. Outleveled contacts will tell you "you should be talking to [other contact]", and if your character is a Rogue, that would be a contact redside. Odd that he'd be referring you back; blueside contacts should say something loosely like the "Perhaps if you were more like me" spiel redside contacts give to Vigilantes.

Yup.

[twozerofoxtrot]

During the in-mission dialog of part 4.1.3.1 of Investigator Whitworth's arc (Imperial City - Loyalist - Responsibility) there's a weird quirk I noticed where the caption refers to me as "Resistance Recruit" rather than my character's name (was in fact playing a Resistance-aligned character). Only occurred once as seen in the example below.

Hero Corps is really branching out!

Not really a typo, but I don't think it merits its own bug report. 

 

On the help window, the levels that powers unlock is out of date. T9 powers haven't unlocked at level 35 in a looooong time.

Talking to Ashley McKnight in Cap Au Diable the first time I get "Howdy, PlayerName."

Jessica Flores, Imperial city.  Despite doing a number of quests from her she tells me, "Hi there!  I haven't seen your face around before."

Reg Sewer network, shows wrong zone for Cap Au Diable as given in first pic, (yes, i'm set as rogue alignment btw)

That is unfortunately the way the system works.  The dots call for instance "City_04_01", and villains append a "V_" to the front of that, then the game looks up "V_City_04_01" and says OH that's "XYZ"...  Would require rewriting how the entire map and alignment system for maps works.

The same thing happens in... Founders Falls? I think, and elsewhere.

Fury Brute ability, Detailed Info.  At the bottom it looks like both "Specialrage on self" texts do not have a space between Special and rage.

[srmalloy]

'In turn' us grammatical there, although it's an uncommon usage.

Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but a small one I noticed last night: During the Zig Breakout Sakai Tamaki gives the same bit of flavor text twice in the same window. I think it's the first "Lord Recluse" speech
