Translations (JP to English)

[Matsume]

Reinheart my friend, I have a task for you!

There was some thread that recently popped up with loose translations of 3 or 4 recent interviews.

That lead to a copy pasta thread focusing on this one particularly loose translation:

Raid boss Drop question on translation
- Raid bosses will always drop some type of reward - somewhere around 2~3 rare drops per party, random lotted. Even if one didn't get the rare drop, the players will be rewarded with tokens which you can then exchange for rare drops. In exchange, the chances to participate in the random lottery will be limited to 3 times per week. (Stanislaw's notes: The text in the interview here isn't really clear. What I'm assuming this means is that the chance to get that 2~3 rare drops is limited to 3 times per week, but one can still get tokens by trying the content over and over again. On the other hand, this can easily mean the return of horrid re-entry times.)

I haven't yet found the original interview but the main problem is the interpretation of a "Lottery System 3 times per week." We haven't yet deciphered what this is referring to but have postulated at lockout timers, how often you get all 3 rare items to one person, integrated ui /random feature etc.

Do you know which interview this came from and what exactly this means? If not i'll keep looking for the original interveiw.

Thanks again!

Can't find the article... looking for it now, but I remember translating the 2-3 token drops per run but don't remember saying anything about 3 times per week thing. I thought it was from recent interview or post from YoshiP

It's from Famitsu magazine October issue article.
I only translated the part that was given on 2ch but I didn't say nothing about 3 times per week

With current version at first wanted to put in token system in contents.
For example when you clear 2-3 tokens will fall under party members and they can distribute them.
For those that couldn't get anything they can get the tokens and by participating they can get the item similar to the actual drop item but with little bit lower stats.

Rein, I think you accidentally wrote that 2-3 tokens will drop with each clear.

If anybody's confused by that, it actually says 2-3 items will drop, and anyone who doesn't get an item will get a token.

That works, thanks.

The quote I posted wasn't translated by you fyi. Which is why I came to get your spin on it. I don't know how they came up with a 3 times per week lottery system or what that references.

Thanks again for clearing that up.

You are right it does say 2-3 rewards (item) and for those that didn't get will get a token and can collect those.

- Wanted to put in token system into current version contents.
- For example with 1 clear have 2-3 rewards (報酬 Houshuu, doesn't say トークンhere like above...orz sorry） which can be distributed with everyone
- Idea was for those that didn't get anything have a token and once you participate enough you get an item with lower stats than the original.

Still question remains on where that person got "3 times per week came from" unless that's in that article. Don't have any original copy of the magazine or scans so I just went off by the 2ch summary info.

Just read the other thread post if its translation from Stanislaw it's most likely correct, that info maybe what he read in the magazine since he's in Japan (I think lol) pretty sure he has the original article to translate from.

Maybe talking about the greed system YoshiP talked about previously?? like you can only do greed x times per week?? not sure, just guessing w

Eww so token is lower ended gear :/

[Godsleftsock]

Eww so token is lower ended gear :/

They said you can get gear that is a few points lower than say darklight gear that is actually dropped from boss.

which if true would only make tokens completely useless.

It's still better than getting nothing at all imo.
