Well believe it or not my friend has his game on Spanish and when he read the legend incursion challenge it didn't say anything about having it done only in “solo mode”. So he went ahead with another friend and both got to level 25 and guess what ? they didn't got the legend token. He even sent me pics of what his challenge says and its true there is nothing that indicates that it has to be done on “Solo”. Kabam clearly has to check their translator cuz this simple mistake costed my friend a lot of items and his time. Please kabam double check the simple text that you put on your game… Look at the pics below for evidence on everything.

    Last time I checked kabaam doesn't own Google.

    You dont say…. I am well aware of that, just wanted a tittle that would call everyone’s attention. If you think about it for a second for kabam to make this type of mistake you could easily think they use some crappy app translator than having someone translate and double check their text.

    I mean. It SHOULD say solo. But there was no reason to believe they would allow you to get a legends title in coop lol (especially after what happened last time)

    So in addition to playing the game now we also gotta make assumptions & add imaginary text to things?
    I didnt say that but go off king. I'm just saying it wasnt hard to check the incursions thread to confirm it. I even admitted Kabam was ultimately at fault here for the mistranslation lol

    Pretty sure all companies keep language experts who translate stuff for the most part
    Google isn't to blame here

    It's a translation issue, for sure. These things can happen with language differences. The problem is I don't see them awarding a Token. They've decided to go with Solos only. I could be wrong but I don't see it happening.
    For the record, everyone and their dog has a Title now because of the piggy-back system last time.

    Is the incursions thread in Spanish? This person obviously doesn't understand English (hence they have their game in Spanish) so they can't read the thread either if it's not in Spanish.

    Is it google? Don't they have their translation team?

    1. Google translate is not always accurate. The algorithm is based on statistical models that can make errors due to missing context. If you ever try to learn a second language using Google translate, you'll understand.
    2. Are you seriously suggesting people with a language barrier now have to go into the forums, copy and paste a whole thread on a translator (that actually works) because the game team can't translate text in their own game properly?

    It was kind of a joke as the basis for the thread is that Google translate does not work accurately
