Display spell effects on items

Senak · 04-10-2007, 08:44 PM

Am I missing something? I thought items with spell effects displayed what the spell effect did. For example, a scepter of errosion does't say anything about what erosio is. Also wands don't describe the spell anymore. I had a wand of blur but it didn't describe what 'blur' is.

This has been very bad changes to the examine window.
Examining an item now means getting solutions to all the intermediate calculations, but you dont get the basics.
Clickie weapons are prime examples. In the case of ex. a rarely played cleric char. He cant remember from time to time - is this efficacy dagger the heal booster ? Where do I get to know if it is ? How much is 'IV'? - what is this club doin' at all. He might be a 'slow cleric' already as it is :-)
Different from the removal of base prices, this renewal of the examine window is not riddle-ly entertaining to deal with, but simply irritating. Examining for prime - prime ! - facts, but they are not there ! ?? !!

The extended calculations of hit effects that we now got instead is, on the other hand, just riddle-solutions to the lazy-minded.

Btw i dont think the monetary pictograms is any progress either. Or - now im on it - the new window frames. Smart graphics are not necessarily good graphics.

(But the new quests ive done are very fine until now).

When I last checked, spells don't state if they use material components or not either, but maybe I looked in the wrong spot.

... is a bad example too - rare properties like 'prowess' the explanations of which may be a bit hard to retrieve.
Srry, yes the price is still there lol thx - really well hidden in the smart graphics hehe does this prove my last point ?
