| Summary | 0017922: Change pickup's names | ||||
| Description | I posted a longer version of this suggestion on the forum (https://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,18213.0.html), but here is the short version: pickups should have a mouseover that hint their gameplay usage, and the console should display a more flavorful description when the item is picked up. Health Pack: mouseover = "healing" console = "welding nanobots box: 1 healing" Credits: mouseover = "wealth" console = "strange particles: 1 wealth" (or 3 for the blue version) Keycard: mouseover = "unlocker" console = "disposable hacking circuit: 1 unlocker" | ||||

That forum link doesn't appear to go to the discussion thread. I completely agree that we should get conveyed more information when we get items. A lot of the time I'm confused about what's permanent and what's consumable. The names are usually pretty terrible, too, although I'm presuming that most are placeholder. If an item is a mystery item, though, of course, it should stay mysterious. I don't think that you can have a mouseover, though, because it wouldn't be accessible via controller, I don't think. More info on the log certainly would be, though. Edit: some of this stuff might come when the UI gets upgraded. Permanent upgrades will appear in slots presumably. The descriptions will be better, etc, so I'm not that worried yet, but I do agree overall. |

Thanks for bring up the forum link problem. It has been fixed, now. The mouseover with a control pad is indeed a problem. However I was there is already a new text box that appears when the player gets near an item. I had this in mind when I said "mouseover". Also for the upcoming upgrades, I'm sure they'll come, but being a redshirt is bringing that sort of "issues" that will lead to these upgrades you're talking about. I'm not worried neither; Arcen is doing a great job. |

We've been in general honing this in a fashion that we're happy with at this point. Thanks though! |
