Two typos I caught today.

Firstly, the description for Ice Slick from the Ice Control powerset for Controllers/Dominators reads

"You can create a large patch of ice at a targeted area, causing all foes that pass through it to tale cplose their footing."

 

Secondly, not exactly a typo, but Quick Strike from Kinetic Melee has the description of Frozen Fists from Ice Melee instead.

Not that it makes much difference, except to the people creating popmenus and then trying to figure out why they don't work, but in the Earth Control powerset, the tier 8 power "Volcanic Gasses", 'Gases' is the proper plural of 'Gas', not 'gasses'; one 's', not two.

Depends if you are using American or British.  I think Gases is the currently more popular version, so maybe back in 2005-2012, Gasses may have been a bit more in use in the US.

In the Cold Domination set for Corruptors, Snow Storm is described as a Targeted AoE power, affecting your target and targets around them. Heat Loss, which has the same icon border as Snow Storm, and also affects your target and targets around them is described as a "Foe AoE" power. The description text should be consistent with the power type.

Mind probe: blaster mental manipulation, dominator psionic assault, and possibly sentinel's psionic mastery... It should read "wreaks havoc" rather than "wrecks". 🙂

And "foes" should be "foe's" as well.

and since i am on this topic as well as the power set... blaster, mental manipulation/ world of confusion. not sure about the others under psionic mastery, or psychic mastery. but the text reads "confusing an enemy is lower than then chance" rather than "lower than the chance". 🙂

 

EDIT: i can confirm that the psionic mastery/WoC for controllers and dominators, and psychic mastery/WoC for defenders and corrupters, has the same typo in the text

this whole power description is a mess... as it reads "grip the minds of your foe", where it should read either "grip the minds of your foes" or "grip the mind of your foe". probably the latter since it is a single target attack.

For clarity's sake...

The whole text should read as... "Grip the mind of your foe with a Mind Probe. You must be in close proximity to pull off this attack that wreaks havoc on your foe's synapses, dealing moderate Psionic Damage while reducing their attack speed." 😅

 

thanks to Rudra for pointing out the other error. 🙂

Sorry, I don't do it intentionally. And for most people, I would just make note, decipher for my own understanding, and move on. In your case, I'm more concerned it may be a copy of the change/fix, hence my expressed "I'm hoping you had a typo explaining the typo". Again, my apologies.

I believe in this case I was hand-typing the changelog while making the changes in the data, so it wasn't a copy-paste from the source, thankfully.

 

Although I will double-check. And I'm not offended, no need to apologize. I was astounded by the Inception-level layering we achieved in here 🙂

 

EDIT: "Thank you, {HeroName}. You have done me a great service in returning the senators."

I didn't see this when I did a search, so here goes. On the tip mission "Exotic Armor Schematics" there is an inconsistency in the punctuation. In the mission briefing, there is a section that reads:

'Shorten length of arms' 'Add shield emitter' 'Increase power output' 'Add anti-missile chaff'' 'More plutonium'.

 

The "Add anti-missile chaff" part either has a quotation mark or a double apostrophe where it should be an apostrophe for consistency.
