New Project - Armory Sorting

Amazing Emo Glasses

Cuirass of the Literati
Hello, Subetans! We have a battle-related community project, with a shiny new icon cosmetic as a prize for your help. Subeta has a lot of fun items, and we'd like to catch up on the organization of them with your thoughts and feedback to inform new features. Please read the instructions and give the armory sorting a try here!

FYI, Survival will not be starting tomorrow. Please don't post Survival questions to this news post, let's stay on (sword) point for the sorting. Thank you!

This should be fun and interesting. I'm with @Kevin, I wonder what this will assist in.

Makes me wonder what this will result in

What's the timeline on this project?

Can there be an announced end time? I'd like to get to 250, but might not be able to do that tonight.

just did a bunch of these. a couple big question marks I had every time: besides running into a lot of daggers that I wasn't sure whether to sort as swords or not, there were also a ton of whips and tridents that might merit their own category.

also, I feel like there's going to be a different approach by person whether to sort the brass knuckles by "worn" or not. same for the various claws, tails, etc. that are seemingly used as weapons but were...worn?...by the original animal it came from? and are also wearables on the avatar.

stars and shurikens aren't "thrown" in battle the same way you throw bombs & potions as part of the battle mechanics on subeta, but that also was a confusing element to decide on while I was sorting.

just some thoughts. I made my decisions based on what I thought the spirit of what y'all are asking for is but those were the big "wait...I'm confused" moments for me.

Why do the item descriptions show up with such weird rarities?
I've been wondering about Free Gifts. Now I have Stasis, which I KNOW is not. Would be nice to get a technically 120 mio item as a free gift though, rofl.

Me: "Wtf is that?"

@jhyllah, ask @Evil he owns her. 🤣🤣🤣

@BoaConstrictor
I just used Other > other for worn weapons, also stuff like dragons/monsters on your shoulder type stuff. Definitely a weird case.
foxfaeble
some of the stuff I was given to sort was really tough... and I had no idea there were so many quills and feathers! lmao
thanks for the pretty new border tho!
Haswari
A knife/dagger category would cover a lot!
BoaConstrictor
One handed bows? Even using a crossbow would need two - or?
AngerAndAgony
I hope? I'm doing this right? This is tough.
BoaConstrictor
Worn has only armor but no attackers.
So I'm putting all of these in Two Handed (mostly) other weapon.
This is tough
Arrows into bows?
Sorcerer
Lots of stuff is falling in one-handed > other for me (whips, daggers).
Got the 250 achievement already, hardly ran into any two-handed weapons.

@Laurey @Klassikal @Stocking
Thank you so much :) I really appreciate your help <3

ok this is kind of relaxing ~

If you ever do this in the future for other things, I think it would be cool to be able to go through and sort a handful of items at once or be able to overlap categories (1 handed + wearable, for example).
Rogue
Am I the only one who thinks there should be a 'whip' subcategory?
Laurey
Oops, 5 boxes not 4, but you get the idea ^^
Klassikal
@EmilyMae One handed / Two handed / Worn / Thrown / Other is the category. The smaller choices (axe / wand / orb...) are subcategories. So you only technically mark one choice, and mark the box at the bottom if there is an aura.

@EmilyMae The category is the title in bold, like One-Handed or Two-Handed. The sub category is what's under that. So you pick the main category, and the refine it down. :-)
Melody
I'm having some trouble with one handed vs two handed for some items, and it would be helpful if there was a "not a weapon" option (I used "other" when I got an Arid Potion even though it is a potion, I don't think that is really a weapon?). Trying my best to help out though, neat project! <3
Laurey
@EmilyMae
I think the categories are supposed to be the 4 main boxes, so
One Handed
Two Handed
Worn
Thrown
Other

And then the sub-category is the more specific choice that you make within the box.
EmilyMae
This is so confusing 0_0 it has been a very long day and I am just not understanding this. I don't want to mess it up :(
It says "Please choose one (1) category and sub-category" So would that be making 2 selections? It will only let me click on one option.
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am just trying to get it right.
Stocking
@jhyllah That item takes me out laughing every time I'm reminded it exists but this....Clearly the strongest in the armory.
Avel
@Galaxia Apparently there's no description for this item? Is this intentional?
Bracer of Flame
boy
@Galaxia
So sorry for pinging you, but I wonder if short blades should go into swords?
Kyocera
I took "worn" as items of clothing rather than wearables.
Kyocera
@jhyllah it is actually a weapon 😂
Kinky
There's no 'held' option for wearing? Also, dark matter; is that an aura? Are reborn weapons considered having an aura? Or no, because it's just part of the actual color? Are war hammers considered 'other' or 'maces' in this instance? I'm trying my hardest, but there's not enough options for what needs to be done, and not enough explanation ,I guess. Also, it seems to be only giving me the option to select ONE option for some of them. Like, some of the shields. They are shields, and worn, but I could only pick one option. I don't want to be docked for not being able to sort to the best of my abilities.
Rogue
This is kinda hard, but fun
Lypsyl
@Laurey ah...thank you. That box is invisible, but if I run the mouse over the spot you indicated it does turn into an input cursor.
jhyllah
So the item
Nicole Richie
popped up for me and....?

Hilarious as it could be as a weapon, I'm not sure it should be there 😂
Xezvi
I second Cauld's question: the Dimensional Hammer is held in one hand in the overlay, because it's pretty hard to draw a two-handed weapon with how the HAs stand, but the length of the handle is definately for a two-handed grip. And I'll call it a mace, because a battle hammer is used for bashing?

Further explanation would be appreciated.
beinagrind
Also:
Aquamarine Encrusted Gunblade (Right Hand)
gun or sword??? Gord?
beinagrind
Wish we could edit our choices bc i fucked up a few times oops
Laurey
@Lypsyl
There should be a check box next to the sparkle emoji where it says Magical
Lypsyl
I decided my item was indeed magical...but there is nothing to click to indicate its magical? Is it my browser, or is there really nothing to click?
StarShadow
Interesting. Thanks for the input option.
Kyocera
Thanks for the new border! There are definitely items in there that aren't weapons!
Puncture
This is tricky ;_;
Laurey
Under Worn > Armor could there maybe be an option for "Back"? There have been some things like wings and such that would fit better in a section like that instead of instead of just chest or shoulder I guess
Rumi
Dancing Mad Maracas Plushie
...this item came up for me, but is it even a weapon? Looks like just a plushie to me ^^
Stocking
Maybe a silly suggestion, but could the categories be organized alphabetically? I'm sure I'll have the order memorized eventually but it'd make it a little easier.
Luck
Dragon Soul
Not sure where to put this, the item image is a dragon but the wearable is a... I'm not actually sure what that is. Scythe?
BoaConstrictor
oh, so it shall remain "other"...
Jovi
I think it might be nice to add a checkbox for "this really shouldnt be a weapon" if we're concerned about weapon bloat
BoaConstrictor
Good, because we have a ton of daggers and knives. Was just going to ask.
Cranberry
Daggers/knives can go under Other or Sword, whatever... we'll take a look at the results and do any further sorting needed! As long as you're doing your best, it's all good.
Galaxia
I've put in a note that categories for polearms and knives would be useful!
