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)
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.
