Item Ideas template changes

#1

so I got a couple edits I think the item idea template could use, mostly because I’m seeing a lot of people make the same mistakes over and over again. here’s what the current one looks like:

- Stat 1 (ie, att)
- Stat 2
- Stat 3
- etc
(this is confusing to me and frequently gets ignored. it’s made redundant by the stat bonus line and the special properties line, this section can be removed)

####Drops From:
- Drop location 1
- Drop location 2
- etc
This section should be removed as well, there is nothing of importance to be discussed by picking a drop location in-game. it frequently distracts others from the idea itself and doesn’t mean anything at all.

Give us a little idea of what inspired you to create this item. Got a story or some lore to go along with it? Great! if it’s a little too complicated to explain in one line, you can go more in-depth here, sometimes ideas can be on the more complicated side and need a little extra explanation.

anyway i think those changes would help out, maybe you can think of a couple more, or some reason not to change those things that i haven’t thought of yet.

i had no idea what that meant

one thing i noticed with the template, its directed towards abilities, so some people dont delete for weapons/armor or what not. Or they dont add things b/c they assume the template has everything.

i also found that [quote=“Xaklor, post:1, topic:4016”]
Effect: list, of, status, effects
[/quote]

they basically mean the same thing? shot passing through enemies is a status effect?

#3

Nice Xak! There should be one for guilds as well so scorxhy doesn’t need to comment on all of those posts.

#4

Like this?

#5

;-; but like a template when you create a new topic. Or a link to docs post

#6

Even though I am guilty of giving too much importance to drop locations before, I don’t think this should be removed. Sure, it might be the least important thing (that and the lore, I don’t care about the lore), but including drop location makes the idea more flashed out, it’s something that should be thought of, as developers themselves need to think about this. I say we keep it.

The rest is fine and dandy.

#7

i dont?..

Shatter usually comments the random stuff about missing crap…

i just try to find flaws within their system…

#8

I like it. We’ll add in those changes. The template was slapped together in 5 minutes so it’s far from perfect.

What about templates for the other Ideas categories?

#9

I actually haven’t seen them. I may take a look at them at some point, but I’ve been directing my attention elsewhere for the past couple of days. (some of you may have noticed that I haven’t been quite as active as I used to be)
