I like how you can see these green little icons when you have ferret tufts equipped. also the word dooked, it's really cute.
I wonder if it appears every time the item gives you an extra dodge.
Regardless of that, I think feedback like this could be useful for a lot of items, but I'm not sure which items need it right now.
My first throught was the ring of tenacity to show how much damage is being blocked. Maybe timekeepers hourglass to see how many turns we have left, maybe an hourglass icon. Something like that
Glad to hear you like the new indicator! It's a bit more complex from a coding standpoint, but I would like to extend this functionality to more accuracy/evasion effects in the next update.
Also glad you got the 'dook' reference, hehe. For those who don't know, it's a cute happy noise they can make: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hXvZD6IY8A
Yeah, it looks really good, it's a nice addition to the game. I'm excited to see what you do next with accuracy and evasion
I also have some questions if you don't mind
Does the green ribbon actually appear when the item helps a player or enemy avoid an attack? I've seen it appear a surprising amount of times, I didn't know extra evasion triggered that often.
I've noticed the green ribbon icon from the Ferret Tufts also appears with the "Blocked" message in the combat log. Could you explain what the "Blocked" message means in the context of combat mechanics?
Are there plans to expand this kind of visual feedback (like the Ferret Tufts icon) to other item categories or mechanics beyond accuracy/evasion effects in the future?"
'blocked' and 'dodged' mean the exact same things (and so does 'dooked'), they're just different forms of flavor text on top of "the attack missed".
Assuming there are no coding errors, the ribbon appears in any case where the defense roll is beating the accuracy roll by a small enough proportion that if the tuft buff were reversed the attack would be a hit instead. i.e. the ribbon appears when the tuft is the reason the attack is dodged. Atm the tuft is balanced to, on average, reduce DPS by about 33% at +3, although this can vary a lot.
At the moment the only thing planned is accuracy/evasion. more Icons in general is possible where appropriate though, the ones for damage types worked very well.
I see, I'm looking forward to that. Ferret tufts "dooked" has gotta be my favorite indicator so far.
Thank you so much for the answers, it was very informative.
