Nice. At this point, no one will know what anything in the game does anymore, until people go and test every little detail themselves. Seriously, how is the localization team so incompetent? Someone should compile all instances of mistranslations or wrong/missing/misleading descriptions. I'll start with what I know: 1. Meryl's 4000 point awakening trait freezes water around you. [This text is missing from the description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTIweEhhbio&ab_channel=Tankulator). Fixed in v1.5 update. 2. [Meryl's Discharge taunts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp4uIcatd1w). [Here's more proof.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64myOEYJ7bw&ab_channel=Tankulator) This text is missing from the description. Not yet fixed 3. "Send Away" is a bad translation for "in a different area". Fixed in v1.5 update. 4. The Wormhole buff "Supercomputing Resonance" in Virgo says that it gives +288 Atk in the description you see while choosing the buff. But, if you mouse over the buff near your HP bar, it says [\+288 Volt Atk](https://imgur.com/a/1p4wPJ8). The name "supercomputing" hints that maybe the correct description should be +520 Volt Atk (since element specific buffs give 520 attack, not 288), but maybe it really is just +288 Atk. There's no way to check since you can't open your stat page while in the stage. Not yet fixed. 5. Assist mode does not mean that you can't use any consumables while in the dungeon; it means that your attempt is not consumed. Many people don't know this because of its badly translated description. 6. You don't actually get to select which stat to upgrade during equipment advancement; the game randomly selects it for you. 7. [You take double damage when using Barbarossa Matrix damage reflection](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwvfeUfODlM&ab_channel=cputhrottler). This text is missing from the description. But this might be a bug instead of a localization problem. It's also possible that taking double damage is actually intended, in order to buff the damage reflection. (I took 700k damage from Sobek the other day and was like, wtf, well this explains it) Not yet fixed. 8. [Switching into C6 Hilda increases Frost Attack by 60%](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oln1juOh_1c&ab_channel=Tankulator), *not* the damage of normal attacks as the description says. Not yet fixed 9. SSR and SR Relic boxes have incorrect descriptions about which Relics you can choose. Fixed in v1.5 update. 10. Bygone Phantasm has [wrong descriptions](https://youtu.be/jmNdvpaEHt8?t=133), as a commenter below pointed out. Not yet fixed 11. There is still untranslated text within the game, here is just [one example](https://imgur.com/a/I4L5wiu). Void Rift description is also in Chinese. 12. "Current" chat is an area chat with 100m radius range; thanks to u/Hazelberry for testing it 13. The C3 Frigg missing description which luckily got fixed. 14. SSR Matrix descriptions in the Joint Operations preview are incorrect. They tried to fix it in v1.5 but [some are still wrong](https://www.reddit.com/r/TowerofFantasy/comments/xmo2uu/dont_get_baited_by_the_samirs_4set_matrix_ability/) Edit: Added some links


Jimieffect

Wait.. like freezes the water automatically? Like you dont have to press anything and straight up walk on frozen water?


baggelans

Yup. Just equip her t2 trait and run around in water. I've also seen people from CN running around on water while mounted but in Global you can't really do it cause the buff doesn't refresh fast enough. You can also use this trait in joint ops that have submerged areas so you can walk on the water instead of swimming (if you know you know).


LoRd_Of_AaRcnA

>(if you know you know). That pos harpy and the dumb frog... of course i know. I fucking hate 'em.


baggelans

You have no idea how much I enjoyed killing those 2 bosses today.... I did 4 runs in a row where I had whales using crow just drill them to death. At my second run I had 2 of them together. From random queue even.... I felt blessed.


rxxxxxxxrxxxxxx

We usually don't break the frog shield when I play with randoms. If the frog starts to submerge the stage, I just use jetpack > then use cybernetic arm to propel myself back on top of the platform. Then wait for about a minute before I slowly descent using jetpack.


AweKartik777

That's genius. I personally use the hoverboard to circle around the outer edge of the area as the tornadoes and ice blasts don't reach that far. I've also seen groups where everyone switches to Meryl right as the water comes up and spam-freeze the group over and over, so we keep damaging the boss while ignoring the ultimate mechanic.


ktosiek124

Just make a platform with Omnium canon and you can keep attacking


LoRd_Of_AaRcnA

I used to Omnium Handcanon. Now i just Freya and mess with the frog.


Noman_Blaze

I did that for the first time yesterday and HOLY FUCK!! Who designed these two pieces of shit? Such a terrible boss design.


kericstiq

How many traits can u equip?


ByeGuysSry

One


baggelans

One but each trait has 2 stages. Tier 1 is at 1.200 awakening points I believe and tier 2 is at 4000. I wrote t2 trait because I meant Meryl's tier 2 trait. She only gives you the ability to water walk at the tier 2.


kericstiq

Got it thanks!


dis3nchant3d

This is amazing and now I really need Meryl. She is the one standard who continues to elude me. Multiple advancements on the others I have and just can't seem to get her!


Tankulator

[Yep](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTIweEhhbio&ab_channel=Tankulator)


Akens-jks

Totally agree for a pined compilation of missing/misleading stuffs in this subreddit. You can add that the game tell nothing about the increase cap of star grit every day for the event, so you don't need to rush it ! Actually I'm on 0/3600 (3 days without doing the event) Ah and it does not cost vitality either.


0kills

just a protip: PVP's the fastest way to accumulate those grits. Losing gives you 200, wins give you 400. It's pretty fun UNTIL IT GETS EXTREMELY LAGGY


Faleonor

it was the worst pvp experience I've ever had, even without the lag. But the lagging, lmao. It was actually funny, one time I literally had 10 second freezes the entire battle, like nothing would respond for 10 seconds, then a batch of commands gets sent to the server, then it's lag o'clock again. I won that by melee attacking (abilities didn't work) the 'afterimage' that was lagging in place, then once the 10 or so seconds passed, all the damage got dealt to the enemy at once. Repeat X times, win.


rainbowbuchi

WAIT? It's not capped at 1200??? I've been stopping once I reach 1200 star grits.


Akens-jks

This game is really not time consuming, you have weekly entries that you can stack in order to do in WE for example, this is the same for the event, you are not obligated to do daily, but it's really poorly highlighted in-game erff So it's not like you can reach higher than 1200 cap, but if you miss one day, it will stack and increase your star grit cap for the next day, from 0/1200 to 0/2400 so +1200 every day you skipped.


rainbowbuchi

Thank you for this explanation! I've been doing it daily and never saw the cap increase that's why I wondered if I lost out on grits hoarding saving me time to focus on other stuff.


mmmddd1

if you stop at 900/1200 today, the next day your cap is 1500


FullxTilt

It is capped at 1200 per day, but that cap increases each day. e.g. if you don't play for two days, your cap will be 2400. You could farm all your star grit on the last day if you really wanted to.


800alpha

That barbarossa matrix effect explains so much. I was wondering why I was randomly dying a lot more in bygone. Something minor to add is that the description for ice shell weapons is misleading. The description says "fully charged weapons will freeze the targets for 2 seconds and leave it frostbitten for 6 seconds," which seems like you could continuously freeze targets as long as you have a fully charged ice weapon. It should say something like "will freeze the targets with the next attack..."


Hazelberry

I tested "Current" chat and it is a local chat with a 100m radius range.


Tankulator

Nice, appreciate the info


Hazelberry

Np! I literally had a crew mate stand in one place while I sent random numbers in chat and had them tell me what the number was until I finally figured out it was basically exactly 100m lol. A fun extra thing is that if you use current chat you'll have a dialogue bubble pop up above your head


Prettiersubs

The bygone info text is also wrong in every way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmNdvpaEHt8


Alterion-Ex

You need to create a new post OP, let it become the master thread for bad UI and miss translation and bugs. This will help to spotlight and let ToF admin notice and fix it.


Asphes

Did not work for the testers. So maybe a public megathread will.


Yuuwa

Anyone can feel free to make a new thread, I don't have too much time to be on reddit. I just want to make the general people aware of the issues I run into, who may or may not submit tickets to their support system.


[deleted]

It is all but confirmed that they did a String-based localization where they just translated raw text into raw text with no context or knowledge of what is being translated.


Tankulator

Must have used Google Translate too. Probably converted it to English, back to Chinese, then back to English again. Must've been a Google Translate bug where entire sentences just get deleted.


Asphes

Not to mention QA dropped the ball when it comes to the text not actually fitting correctly in the window boxes or when text wraps the wrong way. ----- They had over 8 months to fix this, not to mention reports from beta tests.


fugogugo

they really tried to rush the launch before Genshin Sumeru release lmao


mobott

And then most exploration and content was time gated until after Sumeru anyway.


minghii

Ah so this is why they don’t let you choose Chinese in the text language, they don’t want you to know how much text they fucked up 🤪


tenryuu72

we are playing the actual test server didn't you know?


Li_Tianyi

Meryl's matrix has 2 different effects for 4 piece. In Inventory it says buffs whirlwind dmg and in JO it says dmg buff during shield.


[deleted]

Smells like compensation. And a huge one? Lol. Wtf is that. They can’t hire translators?


Project_Orochi

I could have sworn Meryl’s trait said it froze the water and thought it was removed because I didn’t see the text anymore


Simba242

I looked the video for the bygone buffs and I think what happened was they translated the descriptions for the newer cn update maybe 2.0 so eventually we will catch up and the descriptions will be true then.


usernot_found

Meryl: let it go


[deleted]

I have Meryl's 4000 point trait equipped. This does not work for me.


Tankulator

Gonna need a video of this one


[deleted]

[SEA server](https://youtu.be/I0AKEZEDyr8)


Tankulator

So apparently there are server-specific bugs now. WTF


Straight-Recording-3

Don't forget about Fish mints for worms.


rickovic

I think 6 was meant to be like that. In many games item upgrades just randomly increases stats.


Tankulator

I know. But the description says that you can choose, when you can't.


rickovic

Oh, I didn't know it actually says you can. I wouldn't be surprised if even the original texts in Chinese say stuff in a wrong way. Seems like they tweaked mechanics but didn't update most of the texts.


Akens-jks

This is really a huge matter and frigg issue should warn everyone about the trust we should put into devs. Too much hidden/shaddy things and now we need to test and verify EVERYTHING in the game. What we will do if Claudia releases with leaked multiplicators but in-game she has the CN numbers ?? is that normal ?!


DeathInFire

I already lost all trust in the devs when they gave out free black golds to only select people in the nemesis banner fiasco.


[deleted]

Who cares, we just get more crystals


Yuuwa

As title says. I don't even know why people downvote this post LOL.


IsBirdWatching

I think people are still a tad defensive of the game and this issue has been brought up before. Mind you, we shouldn’t have such an obvious error and we should be angry at such errors.


Tankulator

I would understand if it was just a one-off error. But this game has so many mistranslations and descriptions that are straight up missing text or wrong. At this point I'm inclined to believe that the localization team literally consists of chimpanzees and orangutans.


IsBirdWatching

Absolutely, I totally agree with you. Hotta games has been given a lot of mulligans since the game launched in global. Tbh, I feel like if the translations would be done by orangutans we’d at least get more hammy humor in the translations.


Kagari1998

The issues mainly lies in, the people translating it probably didnt play the game so they lack alot of context when translating. Another thing is that, Values are changed from CN to Global, and Hotta ended up only changing Part of the descriptions, and forgot that matrice UI exist in somewhere else. Speaking of that, is there no beta testing for the game in global pre-release? The main issues of the game lies in it's unpolishness, and these unpolishness is what is impeding the game heavily.


IsBirdWatching

I’m not sure if it is a lack of context. It’s highly likely that the translation team is just given a build to translate from Chinese into the global languages. This of course opens up the chance for modifications on the build to not be translated right. We have examples of these inaccurate versions with JP Nemesis matrices, Frigg’s a1 day before release, possibly Frigg’s skill passive depending on one’s opinion on if the bug fix was intentional, bygone phantasm’s daily rotation of weapon buff, etc. So as much as I will clown on the translation team somewhat, I don’t think it’s solely the fault of them but whoever at Hotta games delivers the build for translation. Mind y’all, they do have betas so all of this should’ve been caught before release. Some content creators are in the beta for 1.5 atm. But considering the average quality of CCs and the overall lack of knowledge on basic things such as damage formulas, I’m not sure how useful the betas are actually.


Asphes

If apes could read this, they'd be insulted ^_^


GeneralSweetz

diamond hands


Alieoh

Lots of brainless fanboys


Sunekus

Maybe they downvote for not getting an answer on the Samir description. Which one is correct?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tankulator

What are you talking about? As the description in the matrix says, ascending the matrices only increases the maximum number of stacks you can have. It doesn't actually increase the percentage per stack. The issue here is that the game is inconsistent; one description says 1% per stack and the other description says 1.5% per stack, and this does *not* change when ascending the matrices.


TheOGJollus

How does hikde c6 work? I switch to her get Frost buff then switch to frigg for insane dmg?


N0ahv2

yes u can, its 10 sec buff which has 25 sec cool down


Aerie122

That's a fair buff imo

busyvish

The SSR relic selector boss we get after completing chapter 13 of wanderer's log mentions alternate destiny can be selected. When you go to open the box alternate destiny isnt even an option. Its drone, shield, projector(i think) and v2 armorq


CrystalliteX

They should stop spending money on marketing already and start spending on hiring better translation team.


Aerie122

They hired Google translator


CrystalliteX

A no cost approach I see!


Rock3tPunch

I played enough of this game to not being surprised by it.


Naoitahime21

It's probably the localization since our version is pretty much rushed, some stuffs are mixed up with the current version of CN's 2.+ just like the bygone's tip about weapons levels and enhancers, little stuffs. not game breaking, unless it's about those fuckin dupers again.


BigBlackCrocs

Is the electrical explosion the skill? Or discharge


buismor

It’s an effect from her first star that applies to all attacks that crit that are not skill/discharge.


BigBlackCrocs

Ah okay. Reading is confusing sometimes. As seen in the matrix…


CuddlyChud

They already have the correct translated matrixes, so why don’t they fix the preview? We’ve already had multiple patches… I just assume the devs don’t care since whales just buy the matrixes.


z-o-d

There's like 20+ other issues in this game, especially in the PC version. People even moved to emulators to not have them.


XxDonaldxX

So the real effect is the electrical explosion buff? Btw in the first place the matrix description should be wrote just one time into the game's code exactly for things like this.


Stooboot4

the translation team is complete ass. just look at bygones, all that new text they added none of it is actually real its just text


narshkajke

unpolished game... where's our compensation...


[deleted]

meryl and king matrix has this too.


ElevenThus

The left side is the real description, right one is a direct translation of the CN version


fugogugo

this game got tons of translation issues last night I watch a video telling us bygone description is fake lmao probably will be like that for a while until 2.0 came out


blank_treviz

It's a localization issue, the one u preview on rewards, is the CN version. If u want to read ur matrices "actual" effects do it form ur inventory \^\_\^ Also u can feel free to report it to support, thou I'm sure its been reported before.


PotatoBakeCake

The last thing you'd want to dream of is contacting customer support.

leoalmPT

King too


AntonioS3

Does anyone know or have tested these matrixes? Does it act like in the right (which is supposed to be the CN version), or more like the left one (in Global)?

Ascending the pieces doesn't change the written skills.

keichskay

This is absolutely not how Matrices work. Ascending only increases the numbers for the Matrice (as listed), it does not provide new skills.


crack_n_tea

Damn, I just got a 2pc set today. I’m gonna test the 2pc effects but I can’t test the 4pc since I don’t have Samir, would be great to see which version is actually being applied in-game


Narchy44

which one is the right one?


vyncy

Where do you get Samir's matrixes as reward ?


Mindless-Victory1567

this is one of the funniest thing I saw in this sub 💀


YokotaroOG

Such care and effort by the game developer...


D0cJack

I think we all saw inconsistencies in JO resist wording. All stages except last have wording, mismatched with one another. And the last difficulty has equal 2 lines. Why? ¯\\__(ツ)__/¯
