Summary0010040: Add ammo cost to ammo spell stats
DescriptionThe stats for the spells are quite nice in allowing us to see how powerful the spells are at a glance. There is no way of telling how much ammo an ammo spell takes though unless you use it.

That is something which has always eluded me as well. No point in having costs if they are not displayed.

Should be done out of politeness, if not necessity - Especially since it's possible for someone to start the game with an ammo capacity of 10 and not know how much is necessary to use high ammo count moves.

Yeah, I have no idea how this is only "strongly considering" since it's such an obvious thing to list there.

@Gezmo, I think since the issue type is a suggestion (as opposed to a bug) "strongly considering" is as good as it gets =)

I dunno, I'd think "assigned" would work for feature submissions - it would make sense, I think. Either way, I'm still confident that this one will make it into the game when they see this issue again.

But you do have your target range and you can practice your spells there with infinite ammo, and it's made very obvious to you when you start the game...

I can see why they're still just considering.

However, and I can't confirm this, just something I noticed and maybe I observed it wrong, but my ammo spell from fire tier 1 cost 15 at start, but I think at some point later it only cost like 8. So showing what the current cost is, when including any changes, if at all, would be nice.

Yeah well you could also test their damage and shot speed too, but that doesn't stop those numbers from appearing in the stats...

Anyway I really shouldn't have ever made that statement about this issue being "only strongly considering" to begin with, it just ended up derailing discussion. The amount of people supporting this issue should have said enough.

I guess this can be marked complete then yes?

Unlike assigned bugs those suggestions are often does not get closed when implemented. I have other examples too. I'm guessing that with assigned bugs Arcen work off them closing as required. Suggestions though are like a drawer where everything "may be later" end up. As such it gets looked into only when it's time to review the drawer, which is certainly not just before major release.

However some things devs fix on their own accord, and it sometimes coincide with some items in the drawer. They don't have a good way to connect the two and apparently they either do not receive notifications on comments to items like this or it piles up in "low-priority" inbox that does not get looked at often. I'm guessing the latter is fair enough otherwise even in 48 hours day that Arcen have that wouldn't be enough time to do what they are already doing.
