Game just called me a dummy.

Apparently, it is considered dumb to try and loot a quest item while there are enemies fighting you. Most of the time it says something like "It's still dangerous around" when you try to get the quest item. But for the Ixali Beast tribe quest "Tanks for Nothing", trying to loot the chest will call you dummy.

Well...it is dumb, you will just be constantly interrupted if you try to trigger quest locations (or anything that has a timer on it) while enemies are smacking you in the back of the head. it certainly isn't a smart thing to do. so what else would you call it.

Someone posted this a few days back, if I remember correctly. Still amuses me.

@Volcano: Sleep. 'nuff said.

Honestly... it's likely just dummy text, not calling you a dummy.

It likely is, but not everyone's versed in the programming lingo.

Amusing, but likely intended as placeholder text as mentioned above. If you actually want it fixed, post about it in the Localization subforum.

Dummy is not programming lingo (or at least, I've never encountered it as such).

Ah, of course, but what if you aren't a THM or CNJ? how will do you do this magical sleep. sing them a lullaby?

Well, the only times I hear something being "dummied out" is when it's in game code but isn't in the final game. I'm sure it's used elsewhere, but even then someone might not have been exposed to the word.

Honestly, if I could, I'd actually try that. I think the only job that doesn't have some sort of crowd control is Scholar actually - melee have stuns, tanks have longer stuns, and BRD and SMN have decently long binds.

Most containers can be opened in the duration of a root or stun as well. Not all of course.

This is part of one of the Ixtali Daily Quests and like the last round of beast quests you cannot interact with an object until you dispatch the enemies that spawn. What SHOULD pop up is the same thing as when you try to interact with one of the objects during the Kobold quests. Something along the lines of "There are still enemies about!". It looks like the text link wasn't added in and it defaulted to that placeholder. During programming (before the text is finalized) that would have been used to confirm that the text message correctly popped up and to prevent the client from crashing due to lack of text object to display. What I'm surprised about is that it's in English! It's possible that was "dummied" in during Localization simply so they could run their dev client without interaction with that object crashing the game.
