I'm sorry Q - I know this is not the right place but there is a text bug that bothers me. Its the misspelling of the word encumberance in the description of composite armor (at least its composite if I remember correctly) It is sorrectly and incorrectly spelled in the same description.

Cheers

I cant't edit here? Perhaps I should watch MY spelling.

LMAO...you can cut the sarcasm with a knife on this thread.

BTW..is the holocron that little box that popped up when I took my first step in this existence. I chucked that in the trash compactor a long time ago.

I suggest contacting Megadodo Publications for help in constructing a more consice and relevant guide to exploring the galaxy. Of course they'll probably just tell you to ditch the free melon and give everyone a towel, but hey..what do THEY know.

Back when the in-game text errors thread was still active, I got ambitious and wrote down these ones from the Holocron, but never got around to posting them:

Welcome->Tutorial Recap->Cloning -- Graf 4: Incorrect text. Players now clone with all their items. Graf 5: Is the /activateclone command still in use? I thought it was a temporary bug workaround and had been removed shortly after launch.

Welcome->Tutorial Recap->Insuring -- Refers incorrectly throughout to spawning without your uninsured items.

Welcome->Tutorial Recap->Advancing -- Graf 3: "...you can view the skills trees for the professions your characters has...". Should be "skill trees" (no "s") to match with same phrase later in the paragraph. Graf 4: Incorrectly says Scout trainers are found in Commerce Guilds. They are found in Combat Guilds.

Welcome->Where to begin->Exploring->Cloning Facility -- Graf 2: Refers incorrectly throughout to items being left on your corpse.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Artisan->Resources-- Grafs 6&7: Refers to "exhausting the sampleable resources" in an area. I was under the impression this had been removed from the game during Beta.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Artisan->Artisan Disciplines -- Graf 5: Incorrectly refers to survey skill affecting how well you use harvesters. All harvester modifiers in the survey tree were removed in Beta.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Artisan->Where from here -- Graf 3: "Armorsmiths offer the galaxies best protection..." Should be "offer the galaxy's best protection" (possessive, not plural). Graf 9: Run-on sentence. Just split it in two at the comma.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Entertainer -- Graf 3: "...things would get down right hostile in the Cantina..." Should be "downright" as a single word.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Entertainer->Entertainer Disciplines -- Graf 4: "This discipline is the Entertainers ability to dance." Should be "Entertainer's" (possessive, not plural).

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Entertainer->Where from here -- Graf 4: Incorrectly refers to Master Medic being a requirement for Image Designers. This was removed in Beta.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Medic->Stimpacks->Healing Exercise->Healing Complete -- Graf 1: Misplaced text referring to the scout mission, not the medic mission.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Medic->Where from here -- Graf 3: Incorrectly mentions the scout exploration line is a requirement for Bio-engineer. This was changed in Beta. Bio-engineers only need Org.Chem from Medic and Hunting from Scout. Graf 4: Needs to be removed entirely. Medic is no longer a requirement for Image Designer. Graf 5: Incorrectly says Master Marksman is required for Combat Medic. Only the Ranged Support line from Marksman is currently required, along with Master Medic.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Brawler->About weapons -- Graf 2: "This class weapons covers most one-handed weapons" Needs the word "of" inserted to read "This class of weapons..."

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Brawler->Where from here -- Graf 1: "There are several of advanced professions available..." Needs the word "of" removed to read "There are several advanced..."Graf 6: Incorrectly says Master Brawler is required for Commando. Only the unarmed line is required, in addition to Master Marksman.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Marksman->Where from here -- Graf 7: Reference to Commandos needing Master Brawler should be removed. They only need the unarmed brawling line.

Welcome->Where to begin->Starting Professions->Scout->How to earn xp -- Graf 4: Incorrectly says Wilderness xp can be earned by foraging. Scout foraging currently grants no xp of any kind. Successfully catching a fish, though, does earn Wilderness xp. Perhaps that can be substituted in the sentence.

Under "The Galaxies Inhabitants" and for the planet Rori, it mentions Kaadu as one of the creatures you will find there. There are no Kaadu on Rori (except for maybe a pet or two).

Q:

can you re-open the old threads about text and loading screen errors?

they were fun to add to, and I have been really happy when I notice things have changed because of what we've written there.

Carbineer profession name's spelling has changed. "You stop following the corpse of x" now reads "you stop following x" (it was funny before but it makes more sense now). The opening screen no longer says "Planetside is a registered trademark of Sony Online Entertainment." Some less awkward grammar here and there. Various other changes I've noticed and have appreciated.

I notice more things but have no place to write them downon the forums, andI'm too much of a mess to keep lists of stuff likethat around on scraps of paper.

You could keep those threads open and pop in every once in a while, like every few weeks, just to say something like, "I've read and taken note of all the stuff up to this point and wont get to the rest for a while, but please keep adding to the list if you want."

Thanks again for listening to us and making the changes you have madeas fast as you have.

Small stuff like this is really speaking volumes about how good the level of communication between the devs and the players is becoming.

In the "General Mount Information" section is lists the 6 current mounts so rememberto update it when Publish 7 goes live
