Canonical typo list

Vahz dialogue in Faultline, and a mission text goof for 15-19 Mutant.

Seer Marino and Citadel.

Bounce Back inspiration.

Agent Six's camera and the Ghost Ship. I just hope someone actually reads these...

As long as you're /bug'ing them as well, I'm sure someone does.

I suspect text string errors are quite low on the foodchain for bugfixes though, after all, they're not stability threatening or anything.

Saying that, I know they've fixed some silly ones like that, as I've not seen any NPC's called "GenericNPCName" for a good while. Though there are still the wonderful bombs in Terra Volta called "DoesntMatter" ;-)

numerous NPC's (usually in hollows) are named NPC2343 etc.

also in kings row some of the skulls say "oh no its -heroname-" and i mean that they actually say "-heroname-" instead of the hero's name.

also, in a skull's mission (defeat lab leader and crew) i encountered that after the mission the message said "you have defeated all hellions"

Theres a plaque that mispells heroes,it says heros instead!

You'd hope so, but then /bugging Phalanxer in issue 3 - more than a year ago - hasn't got it fixed. Part of the problem with /bugging, therefore, is that I don't know if I've already /bugged the same typo.

Sure, these aren't stability issues, but 90% of these could be fixed in a minute each - plus, I guess, a minute interacting with a source code control system.

Added the Terra Volta bombs.

Brimmy's comments illustrate, I'm afraid, why I gently encourage reporting a typo when spotted with a direct quote rather than from memory. Do those Skulls really say "oh no its -heroname-" - missing the capital, comma, apostrophe, and full stop? Do they actually say "-heroname-" with hyphens? We want to make it easy for some QA guy to grep for the error.

Any idea where that plaque is?

Fresh new issue, fresh new typo from a Skulls Girlfriend.

Guess what, Phalanxer isn't fixed. Someone does read these items... right?

Another typo from Lansdale, and 3D Sound apparently has "Dopler".

Bridger - or anyone - can you confirm that anyone at Cryptic or NCSoft will ever read this list? The state of Phalanxer does not inspire confidence.

If only one enforcer is out, the combat log says "X has defeated enforcers". Only noticed this with the Thugs but never checked the other MMs (might just be the power name).

The amount of typos listed here makes me doubt that any of them can actually read

Added the Thugs.

That's a bit harsh but certainly someone who did a lot of CoV never learned about the apostrophe.

My take on it is that we know (from bridger etc) that there are multiple people working on different aspects of the game. I highly doubt there's a "typo" team though, so I suspect it comes either under general bug squishing (which is probably too busy much of the time, or the mission peeps, who are probably too busy on i8).

Shame really, would be nice for someone to take a pass through the many typo's in the game atm. I bugged "TheGutter" way back on the first day of i7 test and it's still there, and that one is WAY obvious.

A couple of typos from Hellions in Galaxy.

And one for Thugs in the character creator.

Focused Accuracy; description has a redundancy.

Further browsing on the rich typo fields of Mr Bocor.

did a mission earlier today with my level 24 brute in sharkhead. unfortunatly I have no idea which contact it was from now, but I remember the mission was to take out a Longbow EB called Ballista.

when I enganged him in combat, he referred to me as "HeroName" in his speech.

Noted.

Don't know if it counts, or if it's beed reported, but when you click on Tyrant, the name above his head comes up as Tyrant/Tyrant Leader - complete with the slash in the middle.

Got Tyrant, and another apostrophe.

Also, the word "butt" in the text for the Helion badge is written as "but".

Nope - "but good" is a definite American colloquialism being used here.

Back after a hiatus, and what do we have? Two more Lansdale typos.

Did I say two? I meant a veritable untapped fountain of typos. I'm starting to suspect the same person wrote Lansdale and Bocor - the scattergun commas are very familiar.
