New Project - Armory Sorting

Amazing Emo Glasses
Contradiction
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!

How should daggers be categorized? I've been putting them under one-handed other currently since they're technically not swords.

@Anoniemmus

Subeta briefly had a PvP battling option, and you could throw the potions at them. So thrown potion is the best bet for those.

@kuzi Glaives, halberds, spears, scythes, and other long pointed sticks could probably be put in a 'polearm' category.
Anoniemmus
Just came across
Cream Potion
and that is not a weapon at all. So all the other not weapons in weapon tier 0 are probably also still in the list.
Rengar
@kuzi just my two cents, I'm going by the size, even if it's in one hand in the wearable, if it's gigantic I'm putting it as two handed, a lot of the wearables have the giant swords resting on the ground, so my guess is that it's 2 handed when wielded. They did say try your best D:??? I just don't think that giant sword is one handed plz
kuzi
please consider adding a scythes category (also minion, knives and dagger as suggested below)
frederick
(also, feather and spork might need to be their own categories. This is Subeta, yo)
kuzi
also random — but the interface for this is pretty nice!
Avel
This is hard.

@iciness @BlueRiver
You can think of it aura and magical as an OR, not an AND, operator. You can also use the item description to make the choice. Whatever you decide, though, giving it thought and going with your gut works just fine!

@Luck
Yeah, that was an interesting one for me as well. There is an 'other' category, the last one to the right, as the last option for things you don't feel fit the other categories.

@Pandora
Oh, interesting! Thanks for the report, I'll put it in.
kuzi
does the "one hand" / "two-hands" indicate that it is a wearable? for example, should
Onyx Shard Sword
, NOT a wearable, go in "one hand — sword", or "other — other"?
Luck
Also, I wish that dark mode new subeta's item hovers weren't white with white text. I have to stop and highlight just to read the descriptions.
frederick
No dagger or knife option either?
Phoenix
One handed vs Two handed - is this based on the appearance of the wearable overlay?
Are weapons without wearable overlays also categorized under one handed/two handed?
frederick
Ey, right off the bat I am offered a weapon that has no proper category! It's a polearm/halberd/glaive/spear sort of deal and the closest is staff D:
Woven
Any thoughts on would knives and daggers fall under sword or other?
SAILOR
@iciness

Oops, lemme just desktop this
Galaxia
@Rengar
You can also think of it as magic in general, magic and/or aura, and just generally go with your gut feeling or you can use the item description as a guide if you prefer.

@Shaman
As long as you're putting the good faith effort in, there are pretty much no wrong answers.

@Lanfan
If you check your achievements page, it'll show the number of items sorted as part of the red (before completion) counter under the Battle Item Sorter achievement.
BlueRiver
What constitutes an aura? Is
Water SubetaBall
magical?
iciness
@SAILOR Bomb is an option under the "Thrown" category
BoaConstrictor
Yippeeh, on new subeta... really?...
SAILOR
Could we get bomb as an option?
Luck
Starting me off with a doozy, huh. Asking me to sort
Battle Crow
and glancing at the options and seeing actual types of weapons listed and I'm just like uhh, uhh..

I love the border though so I'll be trying my best :D
Pandora
Maybe there should be a category for "not a weapon"? I just got a Spectrum Potion - unless Spectrum Potion is a weapon of some sort and I just didn't know haha
iciness
Interesting! For the magical question, does the followup of 'Does it have an aura?' mean we're only supposed to check Magical if it has a visible aura? Example of an item I'd consider magical but doesn't have a visible aura is Shinwas Heart Pendant, whose description says "This special pendant has amazing powers, and can only be purchased!" (But I'm not sure what to check since there is no aura)

@Lyonid

So long as you aren't doing something like classifying everything that comes up in your sorting a sword when it's clearly (and we mean CLEARLY) something else just to get through the 250 clicks for the border, we promise you're fine. People are going to have different ideas on what something looks like or what it could be. We're also open to adding categories for fine-tuning because it's about getting peoples' honest impressions. Thank you for giving it a shot!
Shaman
i hope i dont.. accidentslly sort to the wrong place
Rengar
oh goodness somehow this feels really hard, what counts as an Aura? Items like...duct tape and wings leave me clueless
Lanfan
Will there be a place where it will tell us how many items we’ve sorted?
DimDim
thx, give a info If the new feature works. meantime only subeta site
Tucker
Interesting. I'll do my best!
SAILOR
Definitely looks like an interesting project
mayla
This looks really interesting!
Lyonid
I love this! I hope I don't screw it up, haha.
