Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Are the devs planning on standardizing the language used in descriptions?

It sometimes feels like perk and addon descriptions are written by entirely different companies peice by piece. I was just using the search bar looking for perks for a shoulder carrying build. I looked up the word "carry" to try and find related perks. Neither agitation or iron grasp showed up. I searched for them individually and found that Iron Grasp doesn't even mention carrying survivors while Agitation refers to the action as "transporting bodies." The search bar is great, but in order for it to function properly, things need to be worded properly. Are these inconsistencies being looked at?

    This is something they really need to look at. It’s been a problem for years and is only getting worse as more content is added.

    I remember when I first started playing the Hatch was referred to as the “Hatch”, “Black Lock”, and “Dark Lock” in different places and it took me way too long to work out that they all referred to the same thing. Lack of consistency in names and descriptions is incredibly confusing for new players and also a nuisance for experienced ones trying to make use of the search bar.

    I forgot about the black lock thing, but yeah I agree. It seems like a pretty small issue but I think it's really important that things are codified correctly. It also wouldn't be that hard to fix I wouldn't imagine.
