Uhoh the call out

For real it's on the list, don't worry.

The reason its labour intensive is due to how the HP bonus is 'applied' to gear in that currently it's manually on any config you want HP boosts on. (There's no spaghet, its literally just not had a system made to handle it)

We have two options essentially - go through every tank armor config and apply the HP bonus specific to that piece (plz no - i still have nightmares about shogun making me test mining and smithing originally)

Or we make a new system that just 'handles' it that takes into account special cases (like torva / if we want a tank set thats more hp etc)

The list is long and ever growing for us combat folk but we've spoken about it and everyones okay us 'just' doing it / chipping away at it.

When you say "go through every tank armor config" I'm assuming that means every variant of every piece of tank armor (+1,+2,+3, dyed, augmented, trimmed, lucky, ect.) is it's own individual item with its own config that would have to be manually edited?

When this adjustment happens, will unique items such as the Rogue gloves from Deathmatch 'keep' what made them unique before Necromancy?
They were the only set of gloves before the update that provided an LP bonus while also having some offensive bonuses.

Would this update take into account that they were the only gloves that gave an LP boost before Necromancy and give them a greater boost?

Coding question:

Is armor not in the code as a class extension of ‘item’?

Parameters just being

“Tier, armor value, hp bonus, image reference…etc)?

It would be a lot of work but why not just add the parameter now (sorry to the intern who has to do the entry) and then all future armors will have the field by default and be added on creation?

Ahh ok makes sense!

Other question, any thoughts on making ‘tier’ in tooltips (also has relevance to programmatic assignments of new gear attributes), more accurate? Unless monday changed it, primal is listed as T99 armor when it is actually T90 mathematically.

Its pretty misleading to noobs, and potentially interferes with your dev stuff if you did a auto-pass of a values table where say, ‘T90 helm = X HP bonus’
