Old Daka can revive herself (but shouldn't)

Eris_Discordant

The ability text is unambiguous: "When another ally is defeated, Daka has a 10% chance to revive it."

I have witnessed her revive herself.

Either correct the text or correct the ability.

Eris_Discordant

First, this is definitely a bug or an error in the text of her ability.

Second, this bug should only appear 10% of the time she dies.
So even if it is working as intended (but the text is wrong--which still needs a correction) please check the percentages to ensure it is only 10%. And fix her ability text.

It says she can self revive, re read it (my daka has that potential ability anyway)

BentWookiee

Yes she can.. It gives you a warm feeling inside when she does.

No amount of reading will change the meaning of the word "another."

"When another ally is defeated, Daka has a 10% chance to revive it."

If Daka can revive herself, the phrasing would say:
"When any ally is defeated..."

For clarity it would be nice if they threw in "including herself" but that's not strictly necessary.
The word "another" is 100% absolutely exclusive of herself, however, and needs no additional clarification.

I'm not here to QQ or cry OP/imba, I'm just here to report a bug. Either EA changes the incorrect text or fixes an incorrect ability.

It doesn't much matter to me which they change, but if it's the text, that should be take about 5 minutes of work...more if it's also wrong in other languages.

Yes I think it is a bug, she shouldnt revive herself. The text and the % should be fixed aswell.

It's not a bug, any ability that references allies or a character type applies to themselves as well. This is true with GeoS passive, and among others.

So you think that Geonosian Soldier's special ability allows him to assist himself?

We've been over this...the word "another" means an other. Other means not self.

Do abilities that give bonuses to living allies, count for the toon itself?
Yes. Abilities that exclude the user will use the phrasing “other allies”.

Either they remove the word "another" [change it to "any ally"] or they fix the bug. Again, I don't really care which.

You obviously care, so feel free to argue that they should leave her as-is and remove the word "another."
Just please don't argue that the word "another" means "myself."

Who ever argues 'another' actually means the toon itself too is as ignorant as they could be, but obviously what they really care is their toon's bugged ability and advantage. Please do refrain from twisting the meaning of an English word this is absurd.

and they always have a full time bar when revive
