Talk:Backburner

Firstly I'd like like to make it clear that the Backburner was in fact affected by the (now) 10% damage nerf to the flamethrower. The BB does 15% more than the current damage of flamethrower, not the pre-update damage; if it did that, it would be doing closer to 25% more than the current FT damage, which it isn't according to the numbers here. So compared to the old Backburner, it's actually doing only about 3.5% more (115% of 90%), not 15%.

Secondly, is there a way we can express this on the page? Right now it's kind of misleading by not mentioning the nerf, implying that the Backburner actually got a straight 15% damage buff. Jimbo Jambo 06:37, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

HIDDEN

Yes? No? Should HIDDEN stats be added to the weapon info boxes? --Firestorm 18:20, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I'd say yes, especially when they're not obvious like this — Wind 18:30, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I'd say no, because the box should mirror what is shown in game, however, it should be noted somewhere. -- Nineaxis 18:31, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Well that's fair, but it's still a weapon attribute, so maybe it should be written below the box? — Wind 18:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps a deep-red font to distinguish it --Firestorm 18:36, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Isn't there the hidden-attributes property for that? Makes it appear as black. Definitely very discreet. -- Vi3trice _(talk) 18:42, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
