Hate to say it, but prescriptivism died with the Victorians. When enough people say it, it's right.

With respect, I don't post here to solicit the opinion of other forumites.

 

I'll leave it up to the devs to decide whether actual grammatical errors or individuals' musings on style are more appropriate to address.

Background chatter in the Vanguard base in the RWZ:

 

[NPC] Vanguard Wizard: I don't care WHAT your opinions. If they do not help this operation, they do not leave your lips. Got me?

 

I think there should be 'are' after 'opinions'.

I'm on the first mission of the Virgil Tarikoss strike force ("Beast Under The Mountain"). Just got this great clue from the Legacy Chain. :wink:

Understood. When your reports appear to be in error, I will comment to that effect for the attention of anyone fixing them, but won't engage you in further discussion.

"[NPC] Martial Gloom: I know it's kinda lame, but lets be heroes in the next mission" - missing apostrophe on "let's", missing full stop.

In the next mission ("Find Key of Destruction"), "[NPC] Dr. Phorrester: You may destroy this body, but know that the Circle of Thorns already posses the last keystones!" - "posses" is misspelled, and this raises another question (albeit a bit out of scope for typos); the mission entry popup says "The shadows of Oranbega press in all around you."

I'm even more sure this is an error now I get to Find Key of Madness, which has the same entry popup but is in Oranbega where it actually makes sense.

 

These key missions all had 4 simultaneous glowies on live. The SCORE-era elimination of simultaneous glowies has an unfortunate side effect where you get the clue when you click the first glowie. I submit the clue should be got when you click the last one.

 

After you defeat Baphomet, Faathim tells you the whole verse in a debrief. He says "The tale you found is true, and in it's full form reads as thus:" - "it's" is wrong (and "as thus" is clumsy, but maybe it's what he said). The first verse begins immediately after "thus:", with no carriage return. "This great undertaking nears it's conclusion" - "its". "is all of your strenght spent" - "strength".

 

"Use key on Monument of Madness" is not subtitled "The Storm Palace", as one would expect for an out-of-zone mission. Nor is "Use key on Monument of Anger". (I suspect neither are the others, but it stopped being practical to nip back to the Chantry between them).

 

And that's it. All SSTFs soloed back to back and a rich vein of typos mined.

The "Whisperer on Witchburn Hill" badge has a grammar mistake, the "was" in "... the voices of the faithful supplicants was heard by the dreaming ..." should be "were".

"Defeat 100 Legacy Chain minions to earn this badge!" If you hover over it, you actually need to defeat 200. Not sure if the description is wrong or the number required is wrong.

The Drone Protector badge says "You managed to protect all the police drones during the Praetorian's invasion of Kings Row." Apostrophe; there are Praetorians, plural.

Serpent Drummer's third mission, a clue ("Hro'Dtohz: Invincible!") tells us "the raid leader passed out after he'd said his peace, and you're left wondering" - "piece", and should be "you were left wondering" so the clue isn't in confused tenses.

The PTS is covered in signs about "TRESSPASSING". (More difficult to fix since it needs the art changed.)

 

Serpent Drummer Part Five: "I will run this by Mr Decker, we should know the contents soon" - semicolon.

Gaussian's first mission: "One of the Sword teams I suspect was in the vicinity, lead by Captain Flint". "Led". We get a clue in this mission: "If you weren't a member of Vanguard, this Cipher would take serious effort to decode. But with your training, it only takes a few moments to read the names of the negotiators and diplomats this squad has been assigned to murder." Spurious capital on "cipher", suggest "But with" should be "However, with".

 

Gaussian's second mission, a clue: "He was definitely killed by Vanguard weapons, from behind at close range". The commma is spurious.

 

The ongoing clue that becomes the souvenir can't decide if it's "diplomat" or "Diplomat". The capital is spurious.

 

Fourth mission, "Racer's remains" clue - "opting to die rather than reveal his secrets to Longbow... Or you." Spurious capital O.

 

Gaussian's final mission briefing: "This is the Renegade's last push" ... "defeat the Renegade's leader". "Renegades" plural, so the apostrophe should be after the 's'.

 

In-mission: "You have destroyed the disrupter before it could be used."" Spurious double quote.

The Dark Watcher, first mission: "[NPC] Fake Nemesis: The Sentence is death! To be carried out immediately!" - spurious capital S.

 

Third mission, compass hint: "2 Collect automaton remains". Better as "2 automaton remains to collect".

 

Clue says "From the drawings, you can see it all laid out: plans for dimensional exploration that lead Nemesis to find the Rikti homeworld, the first schematics of the Freedom Phalanx automatons, and force deployments for using the imposters to attack the Rikti homeworld in a wave of terror. Even his projections for the points the Rikti would-be counter-attack, and Nemesis Army rallying points." The plans "led" Nemesis to find the Rikti homeworld, past tense. "Even his projections for the points the Rikti would counter-attack, and for Nemesis Army rallying points."

 

Dark Watcher's final mission: "Disrupt the Homeworld portal itself, that will make a massive transit ..." - semicolon.

Heather Townshend, "Investigate the Tsoo": there's an NPC named "Hua Tov" at the entrance who you can talk to to avoid a fight. If you do, you get a clue saying "You were able to end things peacefully with Huab Tais". His name has changed.

 

NPC dlalogue box in "Save Kadabra Kill and Sigil", a reply offered is "Just take Kadabra's Life". Spurious capital L.

Max (DA contact) in the initial contact dialogue says "As I'm sure you know, Malta is fully equipped to deal with most super human situations" - "superhuman". "Our intel shows that the Knives of Vengeance transform former members of the Knives of Artemis within their training grounds, located in a discrete location in Tibet" - "discreet". "It would be incredibly difficult for someone, even an Incarnate class super like yourself to get in there. Which is why I have this proposal." - "It would be incredibly difficult for someone, even an Incarnate class super like yourself, to get in there; which is why I have this proposal." "Three important members of Malta, Gyrfalcon, Director 11, and Slinger, all have detailed information on the training grounds." - suggest hyphens before "Gyrfalcon" and after "Slinger".

NPC bark missing the gender macro (Peaceful Embrace is a woman):

Pretty impressed they knew about that in Praetoria, since I did the cape mission (tradition!) in the Rogue Isles. 😉

I've noticed the NPC dialogue tends to follow you around, so NPCs in Paragon will praise you beating down Longbow or poisoning, er, Paragon.

 

Arbiter Rein says of Ghost Widow: "she was once a night widow assassin, but after her death she became something much more" - "Night Widow" does take capitals, being a proper noun.

Character creation screen, on choosing your character's Origin.  Third bullet point under "Choose the origin of your powers" reads "This determines what types of Enhancements your character can to use as they level up."  Remove the word "to" from that sentence.

Well done, Monsoon. And also, comma after "In general".

 

Desslock, "Steal files from Kalinda", entry popup:  "This is Kalinda's base of operations, her computer must be around here somewhere." Semicolon.

Sentinel's Psionic Mastery epic power pool appears to be misspelled in some areas of the game as "Psionic Masterty" - this is noticeable when you right click the powers for info, for instance, or link them in chat (typing [Psionic Mastery.Mind Probe] won't work).

Global: @Reiska, both here and back on live.

I was Erika Shimomura and Nagare Yuki on Virtue during the Live era.

Now I play on Everlasting. 🙂

Slot Machine's mission to raid a Council base: "Far from being the Super Weapons the Slot Machine mentioned, these prototypes are next to useless. The tornado gun barely generates a light breeze, and the laser-canon couldn't even sunburn an albino." This wants to be "superweapons" (no caps, one word) or (with quotes) "SUPERWEAPONS" (direct quotation of the briefing). Also, "laser cannon".

 

When you collect these glowies, you are told "You finish examining the so-called super weapons." "You found something... Useless." Capital U on "useless", "superweapons".

 

In the debrief, "Before you're even in front of the machine, it's screen changes to say:" - apostrophe.

 

In the next mission, when rescued, High Roller gives a clue where he says: "He's with Arachnos, if anyone knows how to get me knew powers, he could be it" - "new powers".

 

Ghost Widow's Patron arc, "Secure the spell components" briefing: "But Scirocco's research has uncovered an interesting spell that might be able to effect her." This should be "affect".
