Koree -> RE: AQ Pedia Suggestion / Feedback Thread (7/5/2013 11:44:50)

mythicswords: If you're referring to the Guest Index by Element, there are plans to make it a bit easier to find guests there. Not exactly what you suggested, but something close to that. Unfortunately, the update might not be happening very soon.
Here's something that we have been planning for 100%-proc weapons (bows, guns, wands and so on):
As 100%-proc weapons ignore your armor attacks by having special(s) with a (combined) rate of 100%, we have listed them as Special Attacks in our entries. However, they aren't typical weapon specials, as they are treated as normal Player attacks and receive stat bonuses to damage and BTH. Furthermore there are weapons with both bow attacks and real weapon Specials, and all this can affect weapon performance depending on the player's build, and make it confusing for viewers. To address this, we came up with a slightly different format that differentiates bow attacks from real specials.
Here's what the entry for Volleyball would look like currently:
quote:
Volleyball

Power Level: 2
Price: 31
Sellback: 15
Location: Limited Time Shop
Type: Ranged
Element: Water
Damage: 5-7

Element: Water

SPECIAL #2

BTH: +2

DESCRIPTION

And here's what it would look like with this plan:
quote:

DESCRIPTION

Here's a list of other minor changes this would bring that you may have noticed from the above:- The Normal Attack uses the same format as Armor attacks, not weapon Specials: gameplay wise, the role of Bow attacks is to mimic (mid-defensive) armor attacks.
- There is no longer a separate note that says "This is treated as a normal Player attack". NORMAL ATTACK written in all caps should be clear enough.
- Rate has been removed from the Normal Attack. If you see a weapon with Normal Attack, it will use Normal Attack whenever it doesn't use Special. Similarly normal weapons don't list the rate of turns where the special doesn't occur. If the weapon has multiple Normal Attacks, then naturally the rates are listed for each Attack.
The lack of a real Special will be indicated just like we do with normal weapons:
quote:
NORMAL ATTACK
Hits: 2
Type: Ranged
Element: Light
Damage: 247.48% Base, 247.48% Random, and 478.50% Stats each
BTH: +8 plus stats each
SPECIAL
None
Any of the above may be changed, new things can be added, or the whole idea can be scrapped, depending on the feedback we receive.
