More information on map effects.

#1 Post by Aquillion »

Right now, when I mouseover or look at a wormhole, it tells me there's a wormhole there (thanks awfully!), but it doesn't tell me its duration. Displaying that would be great -- if it could display the direction and general distance of the other end (like an escort describing their portal), that would be even cooler.

Similarly, field damage effects should tell you their duration, how much damage they do and of what type, and so on.

Possibly, all field effects should also tell you who created them.

This would be very useful especially when you are trying to differentiate between a bathe in light and a slow field.

+1, I've often looked at a tile thinking it would describe the effect.
Sorry about all the parentheses (sometimes I like to clarify things).

This would be good for projectiles too! Or item/monster/spell names in the combat log.
