Tribe quest "Manusyan for a Day" has a gameplay effecting grammer error.

[DarkonFullPower]

The text the game require you to type in chat during the quest is:

"Your god is come"

"IS come" is not the correct verb to use. It should be "You god has come."

[RicaRuin]

Isn't 'is come' just an older, less common version? I think some Christmas carols use it. They probably chose the 'old' grammar because we pose as a god or sth.

[DrWho2010]

not an error. working as intended.

[Shibi]

Just archaic speech. Using the carol 'Joy to the world' as a well known example:

Joy to the World, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

It's the 18th century way of using some past or present perfect verbs. At the time it was also customary for people to say things like “Why are you come?” and “I am come.”. The form goes back to the old germanic 'be-' form of verbs.

Another example along the same line from Hamlet (1603)

H: My lord, I have news to tell you. When Roscius was an actor in Rome—
P: The actors are come hither, my lord.
H: Buzz, buzz.
P: Upon my honour—
H: Then came each actor on his ass—

How is this "gameplay effecting grammer [sic]" anyway? Even if it was incorrect, it wouldn't affect gameplay at all, it would simply be some erroneous text to fix.

[DrWho2010]

because for some people, perceived grammar errors irk them.

Sure. I understand OCD; I suffer from OCD. And not the television version or what people throw around when they hyper-focus on something. I mean true, clinically-diagnosed, taking-prescribed-medication OCD. I totally understand.

Still wouldn't label a grammar error as 'game-breaking', because it isn't. One could be honest and say, "brain-breaking," but that's not what was said.

If joking (because it's virtually impossible to tell these days): heheheh.
