Guild Wars 2

Empower Allies still showing a bonus of 70 instead of 150 when the buff is active.

Hi Lukhas,

This is seems to be an oversight on updating the text for the buffs information dialog. it is the same for the guardians “strength in numbers” and the rangers “spotter” traits aswell.

They do work correctly, however it seems like the text for the buff was forgotten when changing the values from 70 to 150 in all three cases.

I think in the thread where people talked about incorrect Sigil descriptions, a dev/designer said that the texts for skills, traits, sigils, etc. are independent from the actual values, i.e. they don’t read the values from the database and then show the number but are seperate in the code, so they need to be updated manually and in all languages (which is rarely done, hence so many incorrect descriptions).

It’s supposed to be changed in the (near) future, to read the values directly and avoid this in the future, but who knows how long this’ll remain.
