Happy Tuesday, everyone!
I chose the project this week, and Zadraes provided assistance with implementation and QC'ing.
These changes are live in all instances.
When you appraise a sling, bow, or crossbow, you will now see the base load time (before any stat, skill, or other modifications).
Load times are given in a range of X-Y seconds. The line about whether or not the weapon has a weighting preference refers to the load time. It can be unweighted, weighted toward the lower number (X), or weighted toward the higher number (Y).
If you have any questions or problems, please let us know.
Sample messaging:
A Nisha shortbow is a short bow type weapon.
A Nisha shortbow trains the bow skill.
The Nisha shortbow is decently (6/17) designed for improving the force of your attacks.
You are certain that the shortbow is superbly (13/17) balanced and is soundly (8/17) suited for adding attack power from its draw strength.
The shortbow appears set for a draw strength that is very low (2/8) for a bow of this type.
The shortbow does not appear to have an adjustable draw strength.
For an unskilled commoner, this shortbow typically takes 2-3 seconds to load, weighted towards the shorter loading time.
You are certain that the Nisha shortbow is highly protected against damage (13/18) and is in pristine condition (100%).
It appears that the Nisha shortbow can be slung over one shoulder.
You are certain that the Nisha shortbow weighs exactly 20 stones.
A battle arbalest is a heavy crossbow type weapon.
A battle arbalest trains the crossbow skill.
The battle arbalest is superbly (13/17) designed for improving the force of your attacks.
You are certain that the arbalest is poorly (3/17) balanced and is amazingly (15/17) suited for adding attack power from its draw strength.
For an unskilled commoner, this arbalest typically takes 9-10 seconds to load, weighted towards the longer loading time.
You are certain that the battle arbalest is practically invulnerable to damage (18/18) and is in pristine condition (100%).
The battle arbalest is made with metal.
You are certain that the battle arbalest weighs exactly 205 stones.
