Talk:Sun-on-a-Stick

Misc crafting Q's.

What time will we be able to start crafting it? I know it's after the Rift pre-purchase, but will there be an exact time?

How will we find out how to craft it? Will TF2 wiki just know automagically? or will everyone have to guess by randomly crafting weapons together to find out?

Lastly, What do you guys think we will have to use to craft it? my best guess is a boston basher and some metal..... (like two reclaimed, or maybe even a refined!)

Genuine quality

You get genuine quality when you get Son-On-A-Stick as a promo, so genuine is the new vintage!! Turtlebolt 06:31, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

• Except the new vintage is useless in trading since Genuine to taken away when given to someone else. DennoCoil 20:04, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

It should remain genuine quality after traded Turtlebolt 07:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Considering the front page says so. GeminiViRiS Talk Contribs 07:42, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Quote

Is the description really a quote from somewhere? Can anyone provide a link? Squidfeeder 00:57, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

its from the article From Hell at www.teamfortress.com 20:20 9 February 2011

Usage

It does bonus damage to burning enemies but less to non burning. Its basically an Axetinguisher but the scout is forced to rely on a nearby pyro or follow a pyro around to make this weapon useful. Turtlebolt 06:04, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

You are worng, it does less damage to BURNING enemies.

No, you are wrong, it does 35% more damage, and 45% LESS damage to NON-BURNING players. PredatorDuck 15:26, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Oops, sorry, how confusing. Jag Gentleman 15:28, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

They improved this weapons effects to deal mini-crits to burning target, but deal 15% damage. Still feels like a downgrade over the regular bat despite the extra effort of go after burning targets or following a pyro. Turtlebolt 07:46, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the itembox

Should we change the item quality in the itembox on this weapon and the Sharpened Volcano Fragment to Genuine? It seems kind of obvious, seeing as how the weapons are currently only obtainable in Genuine quality. That is the case until the pre-order period ends, of course. 404 User Not Found 16:27, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

So I've went ahead and changed the quality in the itemboxes of both RIFT weapons to "Genuine", seeing as that's the only quality they come in (at the moment). However, I've noticed the names on the itemboxes now say "Genuine The", at the beginning. That's not the case though. Take a look at my backpack on TF2Items.com, page 18. I have both of the RIFT weapons, and the prefix is just "Genuine", not "Genuine The". Is there any way to correct this and remove the "The"? 404 User Not Found 18:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, add an attribute prefix = no, or something like that, to the infobox. I can't check at the moment so check the template documentation if that's wrong. —Moussekateer·talk 18:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Ahh, alrighty. I shall do just that. I hit the "Edit" button on the Backpack item template and took a quick look at the coding of it....wow. I didn't want to edit it because I was afraid I'd break something. But thanks for the tip, Moussekateer! 404 User Not Found 18:37, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Weird. I tried setting 'prefix' to "none", "no", and "false". Nothing worked. I guess the backpack item template just needs to be updated. 404 User Not Found 18:41, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

First person view picture

Uhh guys, have you noticed that in that picture showing the viewmodel, the SOAS is in the middle? It should be more to the right. Mentlegen 23:26, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

It is on the middle since it just shows the hand picture only, not the position. Shock394 23:44, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Sun of whata?

To me the Item Box's name is colored black, against the background you cant read it, could someone fix that? Gamecrazy009 03:04, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Ctrl-f5 the page a few times and all shall be revealed. —Moussekateer·talk 03:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

well it seems someone fixed it, nice job :D Gamecrazy009 21:55, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect name

The official name for this item, via tf_english and the API is "Sun-on-a-Stick" note the lower case "on" and "a". I feel this should be moved to correct this mistake. – Smashman _(talk) 17:16, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Sun-on-a-Stick already exists as a redirect so it would just be a case of swapping the contents around. ^Scatman _John (Talk | Contrib) 17:18, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

 Yes You already mangled Medigun and almost did the same to Flamethrower, so I don't see why this poor item should not be subjected to the same.--Focusknock 22:55, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

 Support Request for deletion of Sun-on-a-Stick so that this page can be moved. BLUH 08:50, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
