| − | Imagine someone looking in-game. They see a "Croc-o-style Set" weapon on a friend and go to TF2Wiki to find out about it. Will they find a page for it, or a bunch of search options including vague suggestions like "item sets" and "polycount pack?"

| − | | |
| − | I suggest [[The Tank Buster]], [[The Special Delivery]], [[The Gas Jockey's Gear]], [[The Croco-o-style Kit]] and [[The Saharan Spy]] become articles. This page can then be reduced down, kinda like the generic hat or weapon pages. :)

| − | == Bugs == | |
| − | | |
| − | Ever since I added the Bugs section, I've been wanting to test out what could potentially be a bug with the Tank Buster set but do not have the resources to test it myself. The set grants a sentry resistance, what I wanted to test was if the rockets from the Level 3 sentry are affected by said resistance. The reasoning why I believe this may be a bug is because Wrangling a Level 3 sentry and killing someone with the rockets will give a non-wrangler kill icon so it may carry over. Hell, the Wrangler itself might be bugged with the set bonus, so those are a few things that I think are worth testing out. [[User:Psychopath|Psychopath]] 20:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :I think one of your bugs isn't really a bug. The demoman's set might purposely give 55% instead of 60% because of how the game calculates the resistances. If it works the way it did in Kingdom Hearts 2, then it'd calculate the largest bonus first, which would be the Targe's 50% fire resistance. Then, it would calculate the set bonus' 10% from the remaining 50%, resulting in 5% being added to the total resistances. The result is a correct, if unexpected, 55% resistance. If there's other stacking resistances, could somebody please check this? If there's no other stacking ones then I feel it should be removed until we can prove it's a bug. [[User:Terrankazuma|Terrankazuma]] 09:10, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | :: You can check this by using the Rocket/Sticky Jumper with the Pain Train. Using the calculation system above, you should take 220% from bullet damage (making -120% bullet resistance). I can't test it myself because I don't have the items. [[User:Enigma314|Enigma314]] 02:32, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

| − | == Croc-O-Style Kit Headshot 'Bug' ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm not exactly sure that this is considered a bug, but more Trivia:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Snipers who have the entire Croc-O-Style Kit equipped can still die to headshots if they have around 1 health point. This is either a bug, or a misconception caused by the set bonus description.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's kind of a herp derp because you're technically saying that you should be invincible to headshots. Theres a reason that you can survive one headshot, but you can't survive two. Any player could pick up on the fact that they LOSE HEALTH when headshotted. <small>— ''The preceding unsigned comment was added by'' '''[[User:Bigboomar|Bigboomar]]''' ([[User talk:Bigboomar|talk]]) • ([[Special:Contributions/Bigboomar|contribs]]) 23:04, 5 February 2001 (EST)</small>
| |
| − | | |
| − | :The description says "The wearer cannot be killed by headshots." This implies that "no matter how much damage is taken in any number of hits, if it's a headshot, the user will not die". Because this is apparently not true in 100% of cases like the description implies, it's either a bug (with the coding) or an error (with the description).
| |
| − | :Personally, I think it's a bug. HP is tracked as real numbers (things like the Degreaser's afterburn prove this), so if you have less than 1HP, you can't have your health reduced to 1HP (because you're already below that), so it's reduced to 0.

| − | ::I'm sure anyone with a tinge of common sense will muster that you aren't invincible to damage so long as it is a headshot. It's no ubercharge. That's why I am saying It is not so much a bug, but more trivia that Valve incorrectly described it.

| − | | |
| − | == Because I foresee the whole Targe + Item Set thing coming up again... ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Don't question why, especially since it says so on the loadout screen, but a few of us went off and got mathematical proof of the 55% fire damage reduction. Tournament rulesets were on, which meant damage spread was off.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because of the way afterburn deals damage, testing with it gets some funky numbers (from 102 to 55 to 34-ish damage) when going from Vanilla -> Targe only -> Targe + Set. Good thing the Flare Gun's projectile counts as fire damage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Flare Gun's projectile deals a set 30 damage. It also deals 90 damage on a long-range crit. So...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Vanilla Demoman -> 90 damage (100%).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Chargin' Targe -> 45 damage (50%).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Chargin' Targe + Item Set -> 41 damage. (~55%, and certainly not 60%). There.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Fine, fine, question me why. There was a fun hour of dispute over it, so that's why we went off and did this.

| − | == Item Sets Vs. Themed Sets ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Considering that these may be completely different, here is my proposal:
| |
| − | *We split the article into two sections: "Sets with bonuses" and "Themed sets" With the former providing the set bonuses, and the latter simply being items that are tied to a certain theme, such as the new Mobster items.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please discuss this here, as well as providing better names for the two sections than I have come up with --{{User:Firestorm/sig}} 15:13, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
| |
| − | : A major problem I see with that, is that the term "themed sets" is so broad, certain things like collections of promo items, could, in theory, qualify for that. I'm thinking like the Witcher stuff for Scout. You probably know how I feel on this issue, but to re-iterate on the talk page, I feel that in TF2, the term "set" has a very specific meaning, referring to only groups of items with stats for wearing them together. Showing other groups of items on this page has the potential to mislead readers into thinking certain groups of items have set bonuses, when they do not.

On the Polycount update page, the Scout held both the Milk and Fish, with the Shortstop at his waist and the hat on his head. This allowed us to see all four items in the set at once. I think that every picture on this page should be remade in that style. They should also be full body, head to toe, if only for the sake of the set with the Mantreads.

| − | #''(By M-NINJA)'' Instead of an article for every set, there would be 9 articles - one for each class - [[User:M-NINJA/Projects/Scout item sets|like this]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | :{{c|1}} I think that pages sorted into classes will become too big when more are added in the future.

It's not consistent and probably will be the only set that can be fully depicted by a clip from a "Meet the Team" video (unless something from "Meet the Pyro" comes out).

| − | This is how articles for sets are currently like:
| |
| − | {| class="wikitable collapsible" cellpadding=2 style="text-align:left;" width=600px
| |
| − | |The '''Murky Lurker''' is an [[item set]] for the [[Pyro]]. It was added to the game in [[Scream Fortress 2013]].

| − | {{Halloween restricted|set}}
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | We don't need a list of the set's items if we have a box that already shows them (specially not one ''right after'' the other).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Another piece of information that is repeated is the release date; just like in the articles for the individual items, there is no need to mention release dates since that is already covered in the infobox.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I believe a better format would be this:

| |
| − | |}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I don't think there is need to add descriptions of the sets, as the articles for each item already cover this; just put them together or, more easily, look at the picture in the infobox.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I am not certain, however, about effects like exclusive voice lines and taunts, as the boxes already mention these, but lack links for things other than exclusive taunts (for instance, the box for the [[Tin Soldier]] has a link to the Robot Dance taunt, but not for the additional voice responses). We could go into more detail than what's written in the boxes, but I don't think there is much more to be said about "Enables additional voice responses" or "Allows the Heavy to perform the FrankenHeavy taunt". We could (and I believe we should) edit the boxes to include some more links. We should definitely keep the descriptions of the effects of the Alien: Isolation sets, though, as they go into more detail than just "More damage against/taken from".
