When you bank tip someone from far away they receive an email saying the species, not the player name, that tipped them.

My biggest text peeve is the POI description for the ROUGE corsec base on corellia. I couldn't login earlier, but the text basically describes the island as if it were a normal corsec base.

It is taken by a splinter faction of corsec. It is not normal. Please change the description to reflect this.

I'm starting to go through the bug database to fix up misc. text bugs. Other than Loading Screen bugs (separate thread for that), what text bugs annoy you most? I'm talking about grammatical, spelling, boxes in place of punctuation, etc. Please give as much detail as you can to help me locate these guys in the text tool.


(Please note, I have no programming skills to speak of, so this "low level" task is not taking away from any designer fixing the top issues).


Thanks for the second set of eyes.







uuuuu, change the the terminlogy from "Nabooian" to the correct "Nubian".


It's been bugging me for ages. It's all over the place.


That's the only one I can think of right now.

swoop bikes should not be called 'speederbike swoop' they should be called 'swoop bike'

When I was dabbling with Ranger, I noticed when I hovered my mouse over "Wayfaring II: Rough Terrain Mastery" The popup reads; "Rough terrain mastery represents the Rcout's ability to..." What's a Rcout??? Is this a secret leet profession that only devs can use?! The TRUE end-game is Rcout!!! omg! !!!!111ONEoneo.

I'm sorry if this has been already said: when you try to loot a corpse immediately before it's going to disappear a message says "You can't loot %...", or something like that.

1. Any female animal in the wild that you do ANY emote on that returns the pronoun says "You (insert emote here) him"


2. I see a Naboo Holy Man. But it's a female. LOL


3. I can't recall the actual text, but when using leg shot or another shot on snakes or other creatures without legs... I'm not sure if this is exact text, but still it's very silly.


"You shoot a snake in the leg for 333 damage!"


This one reminds me of Everquest, when you used the "root" line of spells on them.


"A snake's legs adhere to the ground."


Or when they use kick! LOL


"A snake kicks you for 11 damage!"


4.Wookiee mispellings missing thesecond E at the end. It's spelled Wookie in a few places, but I can't recall them all now.


5. Wookiee NPC's speak in basic. Thier vocal cords make this feat impossible.


6. of course, the bank transfer text bugs that everyone else is mentioning


That's all I have right now.

Ah, yes. The one main thing that gets to me is on the CorSec spawns. On some of the bases they are called "SorSec Base" and not CorSec base. Just needs a quick fix I would imagine. Thanks.

Act 3: after destroying the base (from the veers mission)... a few typo's there that need correcting.

  1. I took a mission out of Anchorhead. It spelled "Landspeeder" as "Lanspeeder"

  2. I don't know if this still exists but I remember a grammar error on the flag outside of Bestine. It's there to commemorate something or another and it's description is flawed.

Sorry if it already has been posted here, but this one catches my attention:


It's not always, but in combat I sometimes see:


You shoot <mob-name> with your <weapon> for <number> damage, but him evades.


I'd like to see he there.
