Naria la prophétesse

Post by diamant »

Bonjour,
Je viens de corriger la traduction française du texte de cette carte, afin de restaurer le texte imprimé sur cette carte dans l'édition française de Seasons. En effet, ce texte ne pourrait être modifié que par errata ou FAQ officiels, ou par une nouvelle édition de cette carte ; ce n'est pas le cas à ma connaissance.
De plus, le texte imprimé sur la carte :
Piochez autant de cartes pouvoir que de joueurs. Placez-en une dans votre main et donnez-en une à chaque adversaire.

décrit ses effets dans un ordre logique :
1) un effet principal qui est d'ajouter une carte pouvoir à sa main
2) un effet secondaire qui est de donner une carte pouvoir de son choix à chacun de ses adversaires

Le texte de substitution que j'ai remplacé inversait la description de ses effets, ce qui la rendait peu intelligible. Il ne pouvait donc se justifier par une éventuelle inversion de ces 2 effets dans l'implémentation des effets de la carte, aboutissant au même résultat. Si l'implémentation pose un problème d'ergonomie, il appartient au développeur de fournir l'aide nécessaire à l'utilisateur en respectant le texte imprimé sur la carte, car changer ce texte ne fait qu'apporter davantage de confusion.

Je crois que le texte avait été changé afin expliquer l'ordre de distribution.
Il pouvait y avoir une ambiguïté sur quelle carte le joueur doit garder pour lui (la dernière).
De mémoire, l'interface demande de donner les cartes aux adversaires avant de garder la dernière carte pour sa propre main.

C'est ce que je crois avoir compris. Cependant, je pense qu'un joueur commence par choisir mentalement la carte qu'il va placer dans sa main avant de désigner les cartes données à chaque adversaire.
Si j'ai vérifié le texte de cette carte dans la règle (que je ne connais pas par coeur) c'est bien parce que je l'avais trouvé bizarre et illogique dès la première lecture. À mon avis, il est plus important de comprendre les effets de cette carte au moment du draft, que lorsqu'ils sont appliqués au milieu d'une partie.

If you give a card you wanted to an opponent (when you are properly informed of the destination of the card), you just deserve to lose the game.

Can you please explain how this makes it "an uninteresting card during the draft"?

This change, while it deviates from the original card text, correctly describes how the card functions as it is currently implemented on BGA. The original text, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of how it distributes the cards. And as you have seen on the bug report, this misleading text has caused a significant number or misplays.

When you play Naria, you rarely have complete information about an opponent’s cards. Therefore, you cannot be sure, when you give him a card of your choice, that his hand will be spoiled: giving cards to opponents cannot appear as an attractive goal. So, the change alters the perception of the effects of the card by announcing the unwanted effect before the desired one.

I think it’s a good reason not to do this fake.

When you implement a card, you use the matching text (the text of the author or official translator): I do not understand how such a thing can be debatable. If you want another text, create yourself a new card with new title and illustration at your convenience.

That is the problem, the card's implemented effect does not match the card's original text.

You are penalized by 5 points per card in hand at the end of the game.

It is risky to wait until the last moment to play your cards, if all the Boots have not been played. You could be stuck with Naria in hand at the end of the game.

It is equally risky to play Naria and give your opponent a winning card.
No, that is even worse.
