    Default Item Descriptions

    As title says.

    The aqua staff item description doesn't show the bonus stats that the proc gives.

    Like how the kraken staff shows it, the aqua staff doesn't show it.

    Like I've said many times, transparency is important in games.
    You need to be open to your players and stay connected with them.

    How are new/beginner players supposed to know if this staff is good/better to use than any other staffs?

    Show only the specific/needed item stats/item descriptions that players need.
    We don't need useless wording that says nothing.

    I've added screenshots for better understanding.

    I'm expected this to be fixed.
    Many other items have this same problem and I will highlight the important ones that need changing.

    Thank you,

    Wizzaq



    This is the kraken staff which shows the actual bonus stats.

    This is the aqua staff, it says it increases stats but not by how much.
    This is just useless wording written down. Just tell us by how much, like why be so secret about it? :/

    Yeah, if an item has a proc, all buffs should be mentioned in the description. Few days ago i made the mistake of purchasing Elemental Amulet for a lot of gold. Later, I searched the forums and found out that it gives +200% speed and +40 Elemental damage, in short buffs I wasn’t looking for. Eventually, I had to sell amulet at a huge gold loss.

    STS, please provide all buffs for mythic/ arcane items with procs. Thanks.

    We don't have a system that will automatically translate the data into a human-readable description, so these are all generated by hand. There are thousands of items and we probably borked the description on some. I'll address items mentioned in this thread, but if you know of any more, just let us know.

    I just think that the items that are mainly used now by players should have the correct item description.

    So you're saying they're hand made? So you guys actually let someone type that?

    You guys need to improve on writing item descriptions then from now on.

    Excluding the stats block, the item/pet/set descriptions are usually implemented by hand. One of the main reasons they are incorrect occasionally is the item undergoes many changes during design/development.

    In my opinion it's really simple,

    You design/develop an item.
    Then when the item is going to release into the game, you write the stats/item description.
    During release, if the item gets updates/changes, you change the stats/item description.

    I've got a feeling that you guys use a lot of poor/automated systems to save costs/money.
    That lowers the quality of the game.

    I see no modernization/future for this game.
    You guys have no future plans for this game.
    No quality of life updates (literally simple things), make events more fun and better quality, new events, modernize the game (better engine, faster loading times, better network/ping).

    You guys are only trying to save money.
    You guys earn enough money with this game.
    It's time to actually put that into the game.

    You guys are to slow with updates, we've been asking for the most simple things which an employee of your studio can easy do in minutes of time.
    It's been 3 years without expansion (which I don't mind personally), but you guys have done nothing good for the game in these 3 years.

    It's time you guys step up and start delivering work for the game.
    We need more updates/changes for the game regularly.
    Quality of life updates, features, event changes, but also look at older expansions and make changes for newer players to progress through them easier (like banished item set, anti gnome set) make these easier to obtain.

    Default Elemental set description

    Please make the description shown in game for each piece of the elements gears. I know there's description in this forum about bio, but not every player that play Arcane legends have forum. Why just not simply put the description on the gears to make everything easier? Just write what it do, the duration of the dot & its' cooldown.
    @asommers @Cinco please look into this. It really does matter.
