D3 guide bugs

[cabby]

Posting this here until we get a section for it in the Bugs section of the forum.

1. The male model viewer for the Demon Hunter is not animated like all the others. This is on the Choosing Your Class and Demon Hunter class pages.

2. On all class pages except for Barbarian there is a page formatting error at the bottom causing the Skills word to be in the in the middle of the Choose Your Level instead of below that box.

3. On the Jewelcrafter page all of the pop up windows for the gems are for the Rubies regarless of which color gem you select.

4. On the Achievements page, at the bottom you have a beta only achievement for maxing out the Barbarian.

D3Guide Typos

History of Diablo
Paragraph one: no apostrophe in "its" addictive gameplay
Paragraph four: Blizzard Entertainment's needs an apostrophe

Diablo 2 Storyline Recap

Act III:
Tal Rasha's needs an apostrophe
Kurst should be Kurast

Epilogue: Soulstone not capitalizes, should be for consistency

Choosing Your Class:

Barbarian "Blunt of damage" should be "Brunt of damage"
powerhouse should be one word
comma needed after "jump large distances,"
recking ball should be "wrecking ball"

Choose your level strategy:
Level 4: no comma after Hammer of the Ancients
Level 5-9: no comma after (Bleed AoE)
etc. Far too many commas before the word "if"

Demon Hunter:

Abilities: Either capitalize Discipline, or don't capitalize Hatred
Duel wield should be "dual-wield"
comma needed after "throw grenades"
brining should be "bringing"
comma needed after "fleets of arrows"

Monk:

Role in Groups: DPS should be all caps
"different to other Diablo games" should be "different from..."
"like energy and..." should be "like using energy and..."
"most classes cannot, healing" should be "most classes cannot: healing"
"ally's" should be "allies"
"Monk's" in the next sentence should be "Monks"
and in the same sentence "on it's own" should be "on their own" (Monks are a they, not an it)

Witch Doctor:

Abilities:
comma needed after "Spiritual attackers"
"enemies hit points" should be "enemies' hit points"
no semi-colon after "spells like ;"
also comma needed after demon dogs
comma needed after "more of a support role"
"You constant swarms" should be "your constant swarms"
"stop eating at the damage" is an unfinished thought, reword
consider revising the sentence "Learning how... is fun to learn..."
"slightly more in depth" should be "slightly more in-depth"
also a comma is needed in that sentence after "other classes, but"

Wizard:
Abilities: comma needed after "Arcane Damage"
Fun Factor "intelligent" ? (intelligent is not a rating of fun-ness)
comma needed after damage in second sentence
In the next sentence "their" needs to be changed to "enemies" or similar. ("they" haven't been mentioned yet)
"The Wizard is could be" should lose the "is", and in the same sentence "groups" should be "group's"
"expells" is misspelled and also the wrong word. You want "expends".
revise last sentence. I recommend: "It will take a lot of multi-tasking to round up enemies, freeze them where you want them, and send explosive arcane bombs at them, all while managing your mana and minimizing your own damage."

Follow-up email:

Walkthrough Typos:


Directions (north, east, etc) need to be capitalized when they are
locations, but not when they are directions you are travelling. For
example, "follow the road east" is correct, but the blacksmith is in the
"Northwest" section of town. There are many places where caps are needed.


Act I:


The Fallen Star:


"above one their heads" needs to be "above one of their heads"

"tremouring" has no "u" in US English

Bonus: kill 3 Wretched Mothers -- here you suggest we "Clear the entire
area to complete our bonus quest." The bonus quest completes long before
that, and clearing the entire area may be a good idea, but is not
necesary to complete this quest.

Lore Alert: Old Keepsake Boxes: unneeded ' after "where'"


Adventurer's Corpse: "there is a chance to find an Adventurer Corpse"
should be "Adventurer's Corpse"

Also, the "p" seems cut off at the bottom, please re-align


Throughout this quest, you advise us to "keep on the lookout" for random
dungeons, but don't offer any advice about them. Do we go in? What can
we find?


The section "Use the Waypoint to return to New Tristram" and the next
section "Talk to Captain Rumford inside New Tristram" should have
"return" and "inside" capitalized (no, small caps font doesn't cut it)


When you mention "Adria's Hut" for the first time, you should probably
mention who Adria is for readers. Also mention the mushrooms you can
acquire from the cellar, as long-time Diablo fans will certainly recall
Adria and her mushrooms from the first Diablo. You did find the
mushrooms, right?


Quest: A Shattered Crown


Hanging Tree event:


At the end you say "the Hanging Tree" will drop. The tree doesn't move,
but a scroll with the lore on the Tree drops. Also, some letters are cut
off (g's and p's) and need to be re-aligned.


Defiled Crypts:


Since this is a comprehensive guide, it might be worth mentioning to
readers that the 'wrong' crypts will have teleporters that take them
back to the entrance of the crypt, and that it's safe to take them and
move on to another crypt. In other words, finding such a teleporter does
mean it's not the 'right' one.


Manglemaw: "is easily departed" should probably be "is easily
dispatched". (departed can mean 'dead' but only as a noun, not a verb.
no one can 'depart' you.)


Chancellor's Altar: "defeat him and the click" should be "defeat him and
then click"


Mira's Letter to Haedrig: The 'g' is cut off again.


Reign of the Black King:


Cathedral Level 3: "Warrior" doesn't need to be capitalized


Royal Crypts: at the 4 large pillars, it's perfectly safe to trigger the
Skeleton King's appearance and run straight through, ignoring the
pillars, the king, and the skeletons. Much quicker clear of the area,
although you will be passing up on some loot and xp. (You may not have
seen the 17 minute speed run of the beta posted on the internet, where
this trick was discovered by many)


Follower: Templar


no comma needed after "acts as a healer,"

"yoru runes" should be "your runes"


Intervene: the skill doesn't "taunt enemies attacking you", it taunts
enemies, forcing them to begin attacking you. "it" should be capitalized
at the beginning of a sentence. Well-geared should be hyphenated.


Charge: Do you know for a fact that it 'works well paired with
intimidate' ? I would venture to say most players would do better to
choose either Charge OR intimidate, but not both, since they essentially
do the same thing.


Guardian: "to the aid of wounded ally" should be "to the aid of a
wounded ally"


Scoundrel: "dealing our ranged physical damage" probably was supposed to
be "dealing out..." but I'd just say "dealing ranged..."


Poison Bolts: "damage as Poison" doesn't need to be capitalized


Dirty Fighting: "over all" should be "overall".

Powered Shot: "damage as Arcane" doesn't need to be capitalized

"as well as adds" should probably be either "as well as adding" or ". It
also adds"

Anatomy: "damage output for your group" should be "of your group" (it
doesn't do damage for you, it increases the damage you do)


Enchantres:


The Levels seem all screwy, please double-check your data.


Charm: "This ability..." should probably read something like "This
ability works by both increasing your damage output as well as reducing
the damage you are taking, by temporarily turning a foe into an ally."

Forceful Push: "damage as Arcane" doesn't need to be capitalized. Also
change "companions weapon" to "companion's weapon"


"Level 10"


This would be a good place to discuss the advantage of taking one or the
other skill. For example, Powered Armor works best against melee
attackers, and Reflect works best against ranged attackers. Eventually I
expect this guide to offer more advice, rather than just stating what
abilities do (which is after all available in-game by default)


"Level 25" Disorient: "flash of Confusion" doesn't need to be capitalized

Erosion: "damage as Arcane" doesn't need to be capitalized

hyphenate "up-to-date".


Crafting: Overview


3. "and if they have the recipe" should just be "and the recipe" (part
of a list of what you must provide)

"Give these to your artisan to make for you" is incorrect. You cannot
give them a recipe in order to have them make additional copies of the
recipe as is suggested.

4. Do we know that only the blacksmith will salvage?


How to get...

1.a. "ingriedients" should be "ingredients"

2.b. "to create your item" should just be "to create". Also, none of
this bullet point belongs in "how to craft weapons".

3 no comma after "make your items"

"Each time you train your Artisan, they will learn new spells" ? I think
you mean "you will unlock more items to choose from." My blacksmith will
not be learning 'fireball'.

"salveged" should be "salvaged"


Blacksmith

a. "This will cost gold to repair" should be "Gear will cost gold to
repair", or "Repairing gear will cost gold"


Achievements:


Jar of Souls: "The longer the even lasts" should be "The longer the
event lasts"

Deep Pockets: Are we sure selling items counts towards the 10,000 gold
you have to 'pick up'. I believed it was solely from looting.

Maxed Out: I assume the other classes besides barbarian will have an
achievment associated with reaching max level. Also, probably one for
achieving max level with all classes (similar to "betamaxed")

Royal Crypts: at the 4 large pillars, it's perfectly safe to trigger the
Skeleton King's appearance and run straight through, ignoring the
pillars, the king, and the skeletons. Much quicker clear of the area,
although you will be passing up on some loot and xp. (You may not have
seen the 17 minute speed run of the beta posted on the internet, where
this trick was discovered by many)

I'm kinda questionable about this. I don't think it's intended so they may have fixed this in the live version. May just need to make a notation that this is possible to do but it could also be fixed where this isn't possible.

From an email:

in the D3 guide -> Classes -> Demon hunter

it says in the stats part :

"Dexterity is the #1 stat for Demon Hunters. This increases all damage done, including your special moves, by 1% for each strength added to your character. This also increases your dodge by 1 for each dexterity added. "

->by 1% for each strength added to your character. That should be For each dexterity added

[machinegunzz]

What happened to ACT III in your guide? I can't see or link to the Act III of the guide. Did you take if off line? I just get the can't find page error.

[cabby]

It's not up yet. The guides are still being created and Act 3 & 4 are not finished. We will get them done and online as quickly as we can.
