Duckstreak Clarification
Perhaps it would be a good idea to clarify that the Duckstreak appears to track duck-related events (generated? collected? both?), especially since it is compared to killstreaks so much in the article.

Discontinued date?

Should we add the fact that ducks do not drop anymore to this? M15513c0mm4nd (talk) 19:10, 8 January 2015 (PST)

Quacks marked for deletion

I noticed a couple days back that the File:Bumper_car_quack#.wav files had been marked for deletion. I had also recently realized that the Duck Journal still worked as a noise maker. So, I figured the noise maker function could be documented like the regular noise makers. I have done a little testing; I know that there are several quack sounds played by the Duck Journal and I know that some of the File:Bumper_car_quack#.wav files sound familiar, but what I can’t say for absolute certain is whether the present set of quack files is complete or if they really are the sounds played by the Duck Journal. I would appreciate help on that because I have no expectation of soon setting up to access game files. If the present list of quacks is either incomplete or incorrect, please consider the present list as a place holder for the complete correct list. Mikado282 (talk) 21:21, 23 April 2015 (PDT)

Obtaining the stats without owning the Duck Journal or those stats are carried over after trading?

Well, after I did an undo on my edit, I had this in mind. I've put this phrase on the article "Those categories stats are increased even if the player does not own the Duck Journal, however, the only way to view them is by owning at least one.", but then I thought, what if those stats are carried over the primary owner of the Duck Journal and the other ones that had before me? I did not buy my Duck Journal direct from the store, I traded it, and there were stats around on it. I suppose those are from the previous owners or those are my OWN stats that I obtained BEFORE getting the Duck Journal? If those are my own stats, that means the duck stats are stored without the Duck Journal?

IMO, Duck Journal is one of those items that are interesting because Value is combining functions developed for other types of items. Was the Level counter zeroed? If I understand correctly, strange leveling is zeroed when a strange item is traded. I could also understand that it might be showing your duck pickups during the event, which might have been recorded for everyone even if they had no D.J.. One could find out by making another careful trade of a leveled Duck Journal, observing the stats and strange leveling before and after.

Or simply, owning two Duck Journals and check if the stats are EXACTLY the same. If they're, then the stats are stored before you own the Duck Journal. User Gabrielwoj Signature 1.pngUser Gabrielwoj Signature 2.png - User Gabrielwoj Signature 3.png 22:29, 23 April 2015 (PDT)
