I was comparing a couple of weapons today and this reminded me that there’s a bug I haven’t reported yet but ought to be one that’s brought to your attention in case you’re unaware of it:
If you hover over any stat in your hero panel to bring up the details tooltip and then swap weapons (while the tooltip is still visible) the tooltip does not correctly update. In some cases where there are multiple stats reported, one or more of them will update but others will not (they’ll continue to show the other weapon set’s stats) and in other cases the tooltip will not update at all on swap, but if you then swap back to the set it will update to the stats of the weapon you just swapped back into your inventory (so they become reversed!); however moving the mouse pointer away and back again (to collapse and then redisplay the tooltip) will cause it to correctly update.
It’s a minor bug since it will only apply to weapon swapping comparisons (you have to move your mouse to make any other equipment change) but it can result in some misleading information for a player who isn’t aware of it.
I’ve combined the details from some screenshots in the attachment below.
- #1 is showing the (correct) attack stat tooltip when I have my staff equipped.
- #2 is showing the (correct) attack stat tooltip when I have my greatsword equipped
- #3 is showing the (incorrect) tooltip if I initially display the tooltip with the greatsword equipped and then continue to hover the mouse there while I swap back to the staff via hotkey…the tooltip is still showing the greatsword data but you’ll notice that the power, precision, toughness, etc in the “background” have all correctly updated to reflect the swap
- #4 is showing the (incorrect) tooltip if I then swap back to the greatsword again while still keeping the tooltip open, so now it’s actually updating its data but it’s a step behind…it’s showing the power, weapon damage and condition damage for the staff, not the greatsword.
If I keep swapping back and forth while keeping the tooltip displayed, it will then continue to update its data but always be one step behind. Occasionally (but not consistently) when I do multiple swaps, the power stat may update to be correct for the weapon that’s actually equipped, but the weapon damage and condition damage stats won’t be. I can’t determine if there’s a pattern or any sort of predictability when this “mixed” partial update happens, other than it doesn’t seem to happen on the first swap…just on the 2nd or subsequent ones.
If at any time I move my mouse away (to close the tooltip) and then back again, the new tooltip will then display the correct values for the weapon I have equipped.
Yeah, in the grand scheme of things it’s a tiny, insignificant bug but I thought you should know about it.
