Battle Stats Menu

[Inafking]

I'd like to see a full menu of battle stats.

Auto Refresh/Regen #
TP per hit
Haste%
Combat Skill%
Magic Attack
Magic Crit
Magic Skill%
Pet Attack
Pet Magic Attack
etc

It would resolve a lot of testing issues and misinformation about caps.

Can even put it in the equipment menu as a small sub box like if you were sorting. Just simply hit the + key on your numpad and it'll bring you to the sub box.

This has been talked about before, i dont recall the specific but they can only show certain things (which they even listed somewhere before) without a bunch of work. Would be cool though. Before your attack and defense stats capped at 999 even if they were higher, and a few months back they made those able to show the true stat, so maybe 1 of the 3 man team of devs is working on it slowly.

This is what was replied to about that.

Greetings!

We definitely understand how many of you would like to see other stat values displayed, besides just attack and defense. Unfortunately, at the current time it is a bit difficult. This information is not kept client side and in order for this information to be displayed it would be necessary to increase the amount of information that is sent from the server to the client.

Increasing this amount of information sent to the client means an increase in the amount of data traffic, so the reason it is difficult is due to the fact that we are considering the risk of lag this could cause.

The same reason holds true for some other requests we have seen, such as displaying party member’s status ailments and other information.

Again, we realize the necessity for these things, but please understand that at the moment it is very difficult to do.

They have been breaking old rules, perhaps this could be next on the chopping block?

Yea that is one reply but there was one that they listed (a pretty big list, but not really all important info) of things they could possibly show and i think they even asked which of those items we would like to see if it was possible to show any of it. [NOTE: I found the list, link below.]

Farther along in the post you quoted:

"I followed up with the development team about the possibility of displaying information that is already available on the client-side and they mentioned that they will be proactively looking into ways to display party/alliance TP, MP, and other information to coincide with the UI revamp timing. "

so maybe not too far off if the UI is anywhere close to being out, wasnt it sposed to be summer?

And even farther along is the list i mentioned:

There is a difference though. As 'certain things' have shown, we already get that data sent to us, the UI just doesn't display it, the new UI will show it though. These stats we are talking about here like Accuracy or Attack are not sent to us right now.

That was just the numbers being truncated to 3 digits because they didnt think anyone would get attack / def that high when the game was made.

Yeah I know of those in the list. This was specific to what the OP was asking about though. Which is all information that is non-client side. I'd personally love to see more info. Especially regarding Accuracy, Evasion and all Pet stats but they said they didn't feel comfortable sending any more continuous information that's not client side. Not to say that's the end of it, more catching the OP up on what has been bounced back from the devs thus far in order to work on ideas from there.

I suggest the devs work on improving their gear and strategies and then try again.
