Dear Runic: Please update Fish Tool Tips

[adoomgod]

I Took this from another thread.

At about 13:48 in this vid he mouses over a webfish, seems now they tell you what unique abilities the fish will give your pet at least: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbgaSSiOJ-E

Yes but it unfortunately just states what the pet will transfer into and the abilities it will have. I'm going to try to attach a picture of what I mean. Keep in mind this same company made Fate! so hopefully they can easily add the function into both Torchlight and Torchlight 2.



Please let me know if you can see the picture, I'm new at using Skydrive and made it open to the public.

Is that what you were trying to show?

Please show how our pets stats will change when opting to use a fish. Not just the fish's innate bonuses i.e. +36 str +40 dex.

For example say you used a dragon fish on our basic pet which has 0 stats. The dragon fish would show say +40 str + 15 dex.
Then you want to switch to a spider pet which has +10 str + 30 dex.
When the dragon fish is active on your pet the spider fish would show -30 str + 15 dex.

Dynamic stat changes based on your pet's current state PLEASE.

I'd really love to see this. :] Hopefully they have time to throw it in.

If it's all under the hood, it makes what fish you use more based on what you want your pet to look like, and less about the stats. For all we know, all fish do the exact same thing stat wise.

I think the fish is more about abilities. Levels and stats i think are based on character and difficulty level. This makes the most sense to me, anyways.

[feyith]

Maybe make it so you have to discover the effect first, like identifying items?

I'm also all for some really rad looking models/abilities that don't have other bonuses, just for fun.

I hope with all this excitement about the Beta that this little request won't get buried...

[DarkTails]

How can it get buried when there's only one active topic about beta play?

[edit: and i stand corrected by the page now full of beta topics ]

[adoomgod]

By buried I think he means... Overlooked.

Also hawkn I don't think that's true. I think I recall my pet's stats changing when it transformed. Going to check tomorrow.

If so; again, please let fish show the dynamic changes to your pet's current stats.

A post by DOOM? Buried?! You don't know DOOM!!!

In TL, pet stats definitely changed when they transformed.

I have verified in the TL2 beta that pet resistances, damage, health, and mana all change when using different fish. This thread's idea is a necessity IMO.

Do they change stats with owner's gear (like resists etc.) ? I'm wondering how pets will scale to the late game

[Seer]

In the same vein as stat tooltips, I heard Hawkn say that when you mouse over your stats in the screen, you only get the total amount, not your base amount + item/other modifiers.

It would be nice to see a more detailed breakdown of stats through the UI, in terms of fish and actual character stat page.

Gee ... what a great idea! Wish I thought of it...

[henryke]

+1 , great idea!
