Proofreading the 1.22 Patch Notes

[REDace0]

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but I thought I might as well go ahead and point out any typos, strange things, etc. that I notice as I read through the patch notes today. Whoever's in charge of writing them (localization team?) probably was working many extra frantic hours to get them out this week, but I think they'd also want them error-free!

[Dev1361] "Chief Storm Sergean" -> "Chief Storm Sergeant"

[Dev1357] (Options when Targeting Bed) "heck the bed" -> "Check the bed"

"The entrance to the Hourglass inn in Ul’dah has been moved to the Merchant Strip (6,5)."

This one is present in the list twice: "An issue wherein the client would crash when attempting to mount a chocobo after cancelling spellcasting."

Post #7

The descriptions for the "Vortex Headdress" and "Vortex Totem" are mismatched.
The descriptions for the "Decoy" items use the word "Manikin" where "Mannequin" may be intended.
The description for the "Spiked Rations" is awesome and hilarious.
There's no high-difficulty BRD weapon listed here. Has it been postponed to 1.22a?

Post #12

Bold Endeavor has Brand of Earth's description.

Post #13

There is no section for Fishing, which may be intentional.
The section for Spearfishing has no items in red, which are used elsewhere to indicate changes.

I'll update as I find more. Please move this to an appropriate forum if this is the wrong place for this thread.

Also the Serpent Sergeant's Bracelets Picture they show when describing set bonuses say "Flame Gear (3 or more)"..... shouldnt it be Serpent gear?

Nitpicking a little too much you think??

Nitpicking a little too much you think??

I'm not trying to be. I just knew I was probably going to notice them if I read them and figured they would want to know.

Hello all,

Feel free to nitpick away
It's been quite a hectic week, and between work on patch notes, 1.22a, 2.0, and all the other secret things we can't tell you about, some things are bound to fall through the cracks. We'll get on these fixes right away and apologize for any confusion they may have caused.

Pinurabi will have an update later on what has been adjusted.

Thanks again for everyone's help (especially you, REDace0 for starting the thread!)

Keeping secrets is bad.

Keeping secrets is bad.

Telling a voidsent to not do bad things? HAH
But seriously, enlighten us with your mysterious arcane secrets!

/equip main [weapon name]

it's /equip Main Hand [Weapon Name]. (Why not just change Main Hand and Other Hand to Main and Other?)

Who dares summon me!? I shall grind his bones to make my bread!

...What? Mistakes in the patch notes? R-Right!

I've just now sent word to the Lodestone people, and the necessary revisions will soon be made. As you have mentioned, REDace0, certain things are indeed intentional, but the majority of what you and your adventurer friends have reported thus far will be fixed. Thank you, one and all, and keep the posts coming!

Now then, it's back to the grinding of bones for me!

For future reference, is the localization section the best place to post about Lodestone typos, or would it be better to file it away under "Website Bugs"?
