weapon damage 100%

[woodsguide]

I have to say.... weapon damage 100% is rather vague. i mean a shotgun and a pike both display 100% for their damage rating.Obiously the shotgun does more but it would be alot more convenient to show us the actual damage output of our weapons.

[TheNightglow]

the percentage is because of the quality
weapons without any quality like spear and rocket launcher dont display the weapon damage at all

the only point of the percentage is to compare it with better ones of the same kind (as in you can find acendant quality pikes with 200+% weapon damage)

if you want to see how much damage your weapon deals, you can build a training dummy and hit it :) (it displays the damage)

The thing is, there are a lot of modifiers that changes with each weapons. How do you set what 1 damage is?
The % is to compare the same weapons but different quality.

IIRC there was a site that broke down stats for players/dinos at their baseline. So you could actually track how much dmg they do, etc.

Here you go.

This will get you base dmg, calculating overall melee dmg will use this as a baseline

[woodsguide]

im thinking something along the lines of...

raw weapon damage + player base damage + bonuses + ammo equiped + etc = total damage with said weapon

give us a raw number to work with at least

[CMDR Erik Alan]

If you scroll down on the site i linked, you'll see actual values listed

[woodsguide]

cool cool very handy thank you ... but why not have this info or somethign similar in the mouseover on our gear in game ;o/

[Scheneighnay]

I completely agree that raw numbers need to be in-game.

[CMDR Erik Alan]

Maybe there is a mod for that?

[woodsguide]

it just seems like nessassary basic info to have ;o)

[CMDR Erik Alan]

Totally agreed
