Incorrect NPC dialog: local leves NPC

[Kilta_Firelotus]

some stuff to point out. NPC run on game time not earth time.
So saying "at a Time" for an npc is correct. A simple /clock check or looking up on the lodestone you woulda found out that info. Also got to understand the npc dialog is translated in various languages and mistakes tend to happen.

But ya i agree with the poster your being a grammar natzi and letting the game bug you too much.

judging by your failed art work, iwhat I said was confirmed

Fail logic is fail. This isn't about grammar, it's about the fact that "at a time" means "in a single instant" or "simultaneously." That is not the same thing as "every 36 hours." It doesn't need to say "every 36 earth hours" and ruin your precious immersion, it just needs to not be wrong. Because "at a time" is misinformation, and it's also a logical fail if you look at the screenshot.

Art is art. This is a forum, which contains forum posts, so if you're trying to burn me, you're going to have to try harder. Come on, I double dog dare ya! ;--) At least one person musta got a chuckle because they thumbs upped it, which makes it all worthwhile.

No, your acting like a typical forum troll. Your causing a ruckus over npc speak. Your also taking what npc says to literally. Not the writers fault. Play any mmo or video game and npc speak in vague terms.

You took what the npc said to literally. That is your issue. The way you want it writed will not make sence for the game. Also the way your reading it is incorrect. They wrote it the short way, so it is easy to understand across all laguages. Like you can only hold 20 apples at a time. Meaning when you go to pick up apples you can only hold 20.

The npc is saying when you do levequests you can only hold 8 guildleve at a time. Guildleve are the stainglass cards you see like the opening intro. Which is also kind og why they do not dissappear when completed.

Also your are and attitude somewhat screams over hyper highschool student. And one who don't know npc speak from video games.
So there is nothing missinforing with what the noc is saying. I understood what it meant. I suggest rereading it.

Also "at a time" don't also mean the way you think your assuming it does.

You are anally retentive. Please kindly ignore the semantics of this, as it is quite obvious that you can only obtain 8 every 36 hours. Oh, and you keep the leves you complete. So it is still technically correct.

As for the "gaol" part, that is a strange and British way of spelling "jail." Like the rest of the game, people in Eorzea are overly British. Your personal past with Oscar Wilde should not affect the entire game.

You don't retain local leves, though. They simply vanish from your log.

As I said, once you know about the 36 hours your brain "auto-corrects" the statement to mean what it intends to mean, but if you don't know about the 36 hours (whoever that may be) it's misleading.

no its not. Play other mmo npc use VAGUE terms. What you guys want will take up too much text and cause too much confusion.
So VAGUE responces are what they do. Not the devs fault you took it to literaly.

Yeah I have no idea why the heck they even vanish.

But the 36 hour part is not related. It doesn't say anything about whether or not you can turn them in or not for more afterwards, that is an assumption. All it says is you can have 8 at a time, which is true for regional leves. And I really do wish they let you keep the Local Leves until you go turn them in after 36 hours.

You guys do not get it because you are overly thinking about it. You are taking what the npc said too literally. Also the way you worded the child birth thing was pretty harsh. The term "at a time" is a vague phrase, with various meanings. It can be consinously or simultaniously, but it also mean per occurance.
I'll take the movie rental again. See you can rent 3 movies right after you finish the last three, or when ever you feel like it. You still can only rent 3 movies out at a time. Vaguely, that is saying whenever you want to rent out a movie, it is only 3.

Npc do not really state stuff based on earth time. They go by vague terms. If they did use eath time, it gets people more confused. Games do not show everything. I can name the countless quests in ffxi that do not stated the japanese 12am wait befor continuing on. Same for the same quest. It don;t tell you to wait 3 hours for the great katana.

Nor does the dark knight quest tell you to kill 100 mobs.
