Update wiki damage values for the standard guns.
Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Update the wiki with the actual damage values of the standard marine weapons.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Accurate numbers, as opposed to the possibly out-dated numbers.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Look at the source code, pull damage numbers, update wiki.
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Wiki editing/source code digging

Re: Update wiki damage values for the standard guns.
I would do that but you know, closed source and all.
It depends on whether the developers want damage numbers and similar to be public knowledge, right now its a sort of grey area issue where you may know by talking to dev's but otherwise its hearsay.

I don't think that's necessary...

Re: Update wiki damage values for the standard guns.
Why it lets us know what weapons are good in what situations easier than trial and error. And what is good against which xeno's and tiers. It helps alot of us try new things we might like better.apophis775 wrote:I don't think that's necessary...

Re: Update wiki damage values for the standard guns.
They don't magically know the code values, holmes.
I am, however, against. Seems like it'd lead to some weird pseudo-metagamy planning of "alright I just need to put three shots into this guy for a total of 110 damage to down blah blah"

That's just video games, knowing that kind of thing allows for higher level play.Gamerofthegame wrote:They don't magically know the code values, holmes.

Man that's really nit picky. Like expecting Xenia to attack the sm because it's hot.Gamerofthegame wrote:They don't magically know the code values, holmes.

Re: Update wiki damage values for the standard guns.
I see what you mean there. Some people may think like Final Fantasy. Then, they'll try to use the one with most damage.
For me, it doesn't bothers me. I just prefer learning at my own pace.

Denied. I'm thinking of removing all the damage stats from the wiki.
