    Text change in game for paralyze/slow

    So anyone else notice that it now says...

    Sidanoir gains the effect of slowed.
    Sidanoir gains the effect of paralyzed.

    Sidanoir succesfully removes Sidanoir's paralyzed.
    Sidanoir's slowed effect wears off

    Why/how the hell did they change that o.O
    This is gonna be an important version update note just like the change of gils to gil!

    Yeah, this was mentioned the other day in randomness in the Taj thread. Some random mistake, I'm sure, who knows, or some lame attempt to make all messages consistent somehow. /shrug

    "Kirsteena successfully removes Kirsteena's poisoned"

    The grammar nazi in me is banging their head on the table...

    I could see it as being intentional if slowed and paralyzed were in quotes. i.e. "Slow effect" sounds like an effect that is slow, "'Slowed' effect" is less ambiguous.


    Next update, SE will nerf the Oxford comma.

    They must have some new localization guy over there in Japantown. Last update "gil" was changed to "gils." Apparently the person is submitting fixes without anyone doing a review, or if they are being reviewed it's by someone who can't speak gewd English.

    I was confused the second I saw "effect of weighed down" (Gravity).

    The localization guy making these un-needed and wrong changes should be fired. C'mon, {English} {Do you speak it} motherfucker?

    I thought what they did with gil was change the AH fee message from saying "gils" to "gil" because "gils" was an error. I haven't seen the term "gils" in game since.

    They didn't change it intentionally. Just like Warrior's Mufflers requirement to equip changing to 75 and 'gil' changing to 'gils', nobody actually changed it directly (even by mistake). Something else they did just had side effect of changing it.

    I don't think SE even knows what an Oxford comma is. They'd sooner spam your chatlog with ten lines to say what could have been condensed into one.

    Not to hang my sash over your head or anything, but I'm actually considering on working on something that changes:

    Code:
    Equipment changed.
    Equipment changed.
    Equipment changed.
    Equipment changed.
    Equipment changed.
    Equipment changed.
    Into:

    Code:
    Equipment changed. [6]
    Annnnnnd:

    Code:
    Taj casts Protectra IV.
    Taj gains the effect of Protect.
    Priran gains the effect of Protect.
    Khamsin gains the effect of protect.
    Into:

    Code:
    Taj casts Protectra IV.
    Taj, Priran, and Khamsin gain the effect of protect.

    At this point, the auto-translator is better at English than the localization guy is. Pardon my attempts at humor and I'll laugh at yours.

    I just want a damn filter for equipment swaps. I don't need to see that crap ever. I know it's changing, STOP TELLING ME.

    I just wish that when the equipment swaps failed, it would say why. (Almost always lag it seems... -_-)

    At least your sash isn't nearly so bad as Map's. His turned him into an arrogant jackass. I was afraid yours might, too, but maybe Map just got a broken sash.

    I would love that for RDM. What's the point of changing out 10 pieces of gear for each enfeeble when it means you miss the "xxx is no longer paralyzed." message from all the text scrolling.
