Typos and other text issues

Post by Constance »

Hi there ^^

So I thought we may need a thread to report typos, since those are neither bugs nor suggestions.

Here are a few that I noticed so far:

- the crafting element "sapphire" is currently misspelled "shapphire"
- the monsters known in D1C as "Lava Maw" currently have their name misspelled "Lava Mav"
- when talking to Pepin about the Lost Treasure quest, the word "looking" is misspelled "lokking"
- when talking to Cain about this same quest, "changed" is misspelled "changer"
- the ['] is missing from the name of the "Hunter's bow"
- sometimes the character ":" is preceded by a blank, sometimes not ; I guess it should be made more consistent
- as previously reported in another thread, there is a " ," right after the "Immune" text in monsters detailed description, where it should either be a ":", maybe " :", or nothing at all

There is also an incomplete speech transcription when talking to some villager, but unfortunately I didn't write down which. Perhaps I have a screenshot of it on another computer though, I'll have to check that later.

I reviewed spells descriptions.

Fireball & Lightning bolt:
"powerfull" -> "powerful"

Guardian:
"shots" -> "shoots"

Telekinesis:
"interracts" -> "interacts"

Blood star:
This desc is weird: "Creates a vile star using it's blood". but whos blood? The vile star's? More like spellcaster's.

And overall in several spells of names i forgot:
"it's way" -> "its way"

I would also be for change in Stone curse's effect description:
"Reduced damage taken: 75%" -> "Reduces damage taken by 75%"

Just saw that the description of the effect of the Experience cauldrons (when mouse is over the icon up there) says "Addonational experience gained".
It should be "Additional experience gained", or probably better something along the lines of "Experience gains are increased"

Also, the word "ability" is misspelled "abbility", at least in the rogue's skill descriptions.

That's not a bug.

Barnar is just son of Baranar.

In Cain's gossip text about Tremain, it is written :
&#171; It is strange how at times anyone that tries to leave Tristram [&#8230;]&#187;
but you can hear:
&#171; It is strange how at times anyone who tries to leave Tristram [&#8230;]&#187;

The unique amulet "Maiden's Broach" is mispelled; it should be "Maiden's Brooch".

MEAL STORM!

Post by Nomic »

Both the unique composite staff and the lightning-based demons in the late cave/early hell levels are called "Mealstorm"
I believe this is supposed to be "Maelstrom"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maelstrom

Though mealstorm sounds really intense it also sounds very delicious and out of place for a diablo game

"BREAKING NEWS

Out of nowhere in Africa a good Sorceror appeared with a Bountiful staff of Mealstorm. Suddenly third world's countries famine is over."
