Subeta - New Project - Armory Sorting

New Project - Armory Sorting

February 13, 2022 6:14 pm

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.

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

Glaives, halberds, spears, scythes, and other long pointed sticks could probably be put in a 'polearm' category.

Just came across 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.

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

please consider adding a scythes category (also minion, knives and dagger as suggested below)

February 13, 2022, 6:40 pm by

(also, feather and spork might need to be their own categories. This is Subeta, yo)

February 13, 2022, 6:38 pm by

also random — but the interface for this is pretty nice!

February 13, 2022, 6:38 pm by

This is hard.

February 13, 2022, 6:35 pm by

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!

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.

Oh, interesting! Thanks for the report, I'll put it in.

does the "one hand" / "two-hands" indicate that it is a wearable? for example, should , NOT a wearable, go in "one hand — sword", or "other — other"?

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.

February 13, 2022, 6:29 pm by

No dagger or knife option either?

February 13, 2022, 6:29 pm by

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?

February 13, 2022, 6:28 pm by

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:

February 13, 2022, 6:28 pm by

Any thoughts on would knives and daggers fall under sword or other?

February 13, 2022, 6:28 pm by

Oops, lemme just desktop this

February 13, 2022, 6:27 pm by

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.

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

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.

What constitutes an aura? Is magical?

February 13, 2022, 6:26 pm by

Bomb is an option under the "Thrown" category

February 13, 2022, 6:26 pm by

Yippeeh, on new subeta... really?...

February 13, 2022, 6:25 pm by

Could we get bomb as an option?

February 13, 2022, 6:24 pm by

Starting me off with a doozy, huh. Asking me to sort 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

February 13, 2022, 6:23 pm by

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

February 13, 2022, 6:23 pm by

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)

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!
