Nov 2: The weapon popups now display the class of weapon

[Muhandes]

Darn, I worked two days to find that information, now it's given.

Does it have any other effect but the messages? Is anything planned?

[Ryme]

Sorry, Muh. Just an oversight.

As for your questions: nothing else, nothing planned.

[TheK3vin]

Aw, that's too bad.

Still like it though. Adds a certain element of polish to the game as a whole.

[Ryme]

I don't even know what sort of "something else" might happen that you two are disappointed isn't happening. Care to give me an example?

[Satan]

What I think they mean is, different types of weapons in the subcategories being more/less effective against certain enemies. It's easily workable, but I don't know if you want to do all the work for that, and for most enemies/weapons it'd just be arbitrary.

[Muhandes]

I was thinking something like AD&D skeletons being weak to blunt weapons and resistant to pointy ones. It could add flavor to some specific foes.
I can't think of something it would apply to in the city right now, but maybe some future boss could have weakness to whips.

Also: I just saw the tweeter note, I hope you are feeling better

This probably wouldn't be impossible. Certainly not a universal thing, but I could see some monsters having weapon-specific resists or weaknesses. Especially more esoteric critters.

Of course, it would probably end up meaning that there's a lot of monsters resistant to certain melee weapons. Maybe if we kept it minor (say, 10% either way) it wouldn't be too bad. If nothing else, it's half done because we've got the weapons (mostly) down.
