If you do add them, can you make them be able to be disabled if people dont want them?

(Does anyone have an idea what I could replace Attack Accuracy and Critical with?

Crosshairs. Derf.

Crit: 20 on the dice.

Well, this is nice as a replacement for the icons we already have.
However, as far as help bridging the language barrier I'll remain skeptical.

Same, there are people who still barely recognize ponies in the maze, even with the chart right up there

I doubt they could even bother to recognize what info these icons associate to

Crit: 20 on the dice.

I'm a little apprehensive about using a d20 for anything else at moment, as all crystals are shaped like d20s. I will return to this subject after I am done with new pony.

By the way, some questions.
What should experience look like? The level up icon is that @ metal.
Most mob and suffix/binding icons are monster waifus and tans. Did I make the wrong did choice with this? I mean, Issac was an apple, and I decided that it should be a big tittied naked lady.

There was going to be a fair amount of context provided when I planned to make a YouTube presentation, but as I said,

Here's the fly by graphic I made for testing. Until making a video made me pull my hair out.

Attack Accuracy could be a "Crosshair" and Attack Critical a "Red Cross" (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i don't think replacing everything with icons the way to go. IMO, using icons just for status procs, items type, block/parry/critical would be the best way to go.

on the same note, i second using crosshair for accuracy =)

I'm not replacing the text, just putting icons next to said text.

A lot of those seem quite usable in some contexts, but I would need a copy with transparent backgrounds. A list of what the different icons are supposed to represent would help as well.

Somehow I complete missed that second sentence entirely.

My only suggestion would be to add an icon to gem drops in battle. It would be nice to know that a health gem just dropped so I don't have to use mana on Cure or Cure II only to realize it too late, for example.

As I said, ICONS WILL BE EVERYWHERE. Including in the battle log.

Cool! it would make the game more enjoyable..
I just hope it doesn't make the gameplay slower than usual..
because here, it's pretty slow already.

If that Rapier wasn't Ethereal, it would not have that orange teal cube under its name. And it wouldn't use the Void damage icon. It would also have the icons for piercing damage, burden and interference. Which would be a lance, a ball and chain and a cracked crystal ball respectively.


For those of you have noticed the inordinate amount of helmets, it's because helmets are used to denote specialized damaged mitigation such as crushing and fire. With body armors to denote the generalized mitigations, physical and magical. All other redundancies can be explained by the fact that I plan for each tab in the shops to have their own icons. As the 2 similar potion groups, its because I need to make the greater, superior and godly potion groups.

Also, I know that there is no SP Bonus to speak of, but does anyone know of any arguable rectangular or cube shaped fruit that comes in red?

Well, I don't want to sound rude, but

A blue ugly face means that this weapon drains mana.
Two crossed swords means that it can parry.
A hammer means that it makes you stronger.
A guitar means that it improves dexterity.
A cracked crystal ball means that it lowers magical crit chance and makes your spells cost more.

There are simply too many effects to remember what icon matches what. Furthermore, I don't see how it helps non-english people to understand what's going on. One can put "siphon" in the translator, but I don't think that you can tell that guitar helps you with accuracy, crits, parry and damage.

Still, it could be a nice addition in the sense that you can glance at the screen and quickly tell what is what without reading. But then again, to remember all those...

Also, for crit chance: "headshot" icon.

Please note that the crossed swords may not be the final icon for parry. But I am hoping that icons I come up with eliminate the need for a translator. Or if one is used, it only needs to be used once.

I still need a suggestion for what experience looks like though.

OOOooo. Icons, I like. Also, I think itwould be interesting to think that, in addition to the icons for the monster types, players can upload an image for one of their custom monsters if they desire.

d help as well.

Though what I really need is some larger (say 48x48) icons to use as default for the different monster classes. I was thinking about making it a contest of sorts, but if you're up for it, you could get a head start. :3

This...interests me.

Yes. Of course. But there are still a lot of abstract things in the game. As for using it only once — same is true without icons.

As for experience, a gold five-pointed star maybe?

Put a kind of bang around the crossed swords (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) like in the comics

Just a small update.
(IMG:[i480.photobucket.com] http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr163/anomtai/new1213_zpsafb535cf.png)
I redid the icon for hallowed because I wasn't happy with it, I also made icons for cold and dark damage. I latter I may touch up later.

I'll get to work on those attribute icons I've been asking for creative advise on next.
