Talk:Player Hit Messages

The old, boring "You hit for X damage" messages in monster fights have been augmented with more specific messages based on your weapon and the monster you're fighting.

Discuss!!  :)

Based on limited research so far, it looks like the player hit messages change with the weapon you use but not by location/monster (except for some gender terms). I tested with the star boomerang at four locations: the Icy Peak, the Lair of the Ninja Snowmen, the Goatlet, and the Menagerie Level 3 and eventually got the same seven (Australian themed) messages at each location. I briefly tested with the chrome crossbow at the Icy Peak and got a completely different set of messages. Are others experiencing similar results? --Gymnosophist 00:31, 13 September 2006 (CDT)

• I concur. I predict that this will be handled by adding a "Hit Messages" section to each weapon page. --Jonrock 00:35, 13 September 2006 (CDT)
• There are some monsters (such as the 1335 Haxx00r) that can generate monster-specific hit messages (You hit the Haxx00r in the baxx00r).

Crossbow Data

• Collected by Terrabull and moved from now deleted page (don't know which crossbow was tested).

When you attack with a crossbow you will get one of the following messages:

• You shoot him in the gut for X damage. Harvey Keitel wanders by, and says "Along with the kneecap, the gut is a most painful area a guy can get shot in." Your opponent nods in agreement.
• You aim and fire. You miss, but the bolt ricochets off a nearby wall (or tree, if you're outdoors,) and hits him for X damage.
• You let loose a bolt (not to be confused with loosening a nut) and hit him for X damage.
• Oh no, you shot Marvin in the face! Provided that this monster's name is Marvin. In any case, it did X damage.
• You shoot him in the shoulder, dealing X damage. Man, that's gotta hurt.

vorpal blade/balloon sword/bamboo bokuto

• You clobber him/her/it in the forehead with the hilt of your sword.
• You slice him/her/it across the <ankle> for X damage.
• You slap him/her/it on the <ankle> with the flat of your blade, dealing X damage (and producing a satisfying thwap sound.)
• You hamstring him/her/it for X damage. Mmm, ham. And... mmm, string
• You slice, dice, and then re-slice him/her/it for X damage.
• You whirl around and cut him/her/it right across his midsection, doing X damage.

(These messages may be applicable to all swords)--Foggy 00:45, 13 September 2006 (CDT)

gnollish flyswatter

• You pull a Tonya Harding, hiring a random passerby to hit [it] in the knee with your club for X damage.
• You deliver a Pesci-esque blow to the back of [its] head. X points worth of blood ooze out of [its] ears.
• You give your opponent a nasty case of club elbow. By which I mean you club [its] elbow for X damage.
• You viciously bludgeon [it], dealing X damage.
• You club [it] like there's no tomorrow, doing X damage.

Knob goblin elite polearm

• You use your Knob Goblin elite polearm to hit [it] in the armpole. Er, arm. It does X damage.
• You spin your Knob Goblin elite polearm over your head all kung-fu style, then whack [it] with both ends, consecutively, doing X damage.
• Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha! Thrust! You do X damage.
• You grab the end of your Knob Goblin elite polearm, hold it out in front of you, and spin around in a circle, hitting [it] twice for X damage (total). You feel vaguely like a martial-arts-adept turtle.
• You step close to [it] and spin your Knob Goblin elite polearm, whacking [it] six or seven times for X damage.
