Hi there,

This edit is not trivia, it's how the weapon works. It's not trivia if it's the functionality of a weapon. Additionally also XofY.

This edit essentially says "another weapon doesn't have this bug", which is irrelevant.

This edit is not trivia, it's how the weapon works.

This edit is a bug about the Backscratcher, which is irrelevant to the Escape Plan. Additionally also XofY.

This edit is a feature of the Crusader's Crossbow and has nothing to do with critical hits. Additionally also XofY.

This edit summary is not acceptable. These edits were all removed with valid reasons, be friendly to other users.

Hello swood

Apologies if I'm doing this incorrectly, uve never used user talk before.

Firstly, the trivia facts were my bad, i didn't realize that for it be trivia, it couldn't be specific things like unique ways the weapon works.

However, what i believe was valid was how every single change i made was undo-ed, even the valid parts! Like, my tomislav change literally just wrote out what was in a tooltip, yet he still undo-ed it without even asking by asling me for :"evidence" of something that was already on the wiki! And for the equalizer, he undo-ed the entire thing, even the part I added that was separate from the trivia.

Regardless of how much you think your edits are valid, getting aggressive like this is not acceptable.
GrampaSwood (talk) 22:14, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Fair, I apologize. Still, I have no idea why the equalizer text was removed, if it wasn't you. Well, you did undo it in the most recent change, which has me really, really confused. If you didn't remove it the first time, why did you just :::undo the page?

I changed the intro to mention that the damage scales with the health, as opposed to the damage increasing with health. This merges both sentences into one, with more detailed info being available down the page.
GrampaSwood (talk) 22:33, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

But...that explaination doesn't mention the "base" damage of the equalizer is lower than stock. Your explanation makes it sound like it starts at 65, then scales up, which it doesn't do (it starts lower, then eventually becomes higher). ::::To be perfectly honest, I didn't even notice your edit, as the two words (scales vs increasing) are often used interchangeably.

Purplemana (talk) 22:38, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

It's fine as-is, there's a section dedicated to the damage that makes it obvious already.
GrampaSwood (talk) 22:39, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

I've had this happen when trying to edit this wiki before. I just don't understand why people are so opposed to making useful information obvious in the first paragraphs of the weapon's intro. Like, do you think that "the equializer can 2 shot most buildings at low health" is more important than "the equalizer has a massive, unlisted downside"? Why even have an intro if the weapon chart already explains almost everything about the weapon?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Purplemana (talk) • (contribs) 23:43, 5 November 2022

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘Remember to sign your comments. The information that's currently on the page mentions that the damage scales, that's obvious enough rather than having to spell out exactly what "scaling" means. The intro covers the basic information and the damage and function times section goes into more detail.
