That seems correct. I can't find any damage modifiers in any of the timeline files, but there's a 2.000 unused value in the abilitydata file that would fit this hypothesis

What, is it supposed to do 2000% weapon damage or something?

Not at all. I just think someone is watching us

I trust all the hard work you put into finding and figuring this out. You're probably right.... But I don't want to accept that the sword is our wonder weapon. Too depressing to accept ;-)

The weapon is good, but certainly isn't worth the grind for me.

 

If you pair it with Isatunoll (the 10% WF shield) you'll not only be nearly invincible because of the WF proccing via barrage, but you'll also output big numbers, even with Hakkon in mind. (The worst Hakkon is 224 dmg and the best Crescent is 243. That's almost 10% better. A significant difference when you put things in perspective!)

 

How many bolts from chilled to frozen?

 

Or even better, bolts with cool beats dots.

 

It doesn't chill/freeze

I think it's clear that this is the weapon.

The question is, now that it's been discovered, will it be changed?

Will merely observing the weapon cause it to change?

Perhaps they can rename it Schrödinger's Blade.

I haven't tested the weapon with OP stats yet, but if the cold bolts can crit (for flow of battle) and can proc WF from Isatunoll, then I'd say it's the best weapon a highly promoted lego/templar could possibly have

 

I did notice that the bolts like to fly over dead bodies, just like Bacon Barrage's upgrade, and tend to get lost when they do so.

 

The design isn't bad at all when you think about it. I rather like it. But then there are players who think the 2x bolts should proc on every hit, and that's a bit over the top for me

Yeah,2000% weapon damage on dying

But,when I come to think about it,fire explosion on death was one of the main culprits for my deaths in Diablo 2.

Yeah true,but until ME:A doesn't land,I'll play only TW3 dlc and maybe Fallout4,so I guess have enough time to put my grubby mitts on this weapon.

I'm not sure if there's any damage modifier at all. I think it's just the way elemental damage works (think about how your staff has a much lower base damage than a sword, yet can hit for similar numbers)

Luke just liked Wavebend's post about all the timeline details.  I think this is all the confirmation you need that this is it.

[Wavebend]

Nevermind. It is 200% weapon damage, confirmed.

Is this where the rainbows and unicorns come in?

[Shiratori]

...when loaded in SP

This is exactly what I meant in my last post...  So there's still an element of surprise left to be played after all... and probably some unknown server override that features what it can really do.

Still too early to discount the Crescent Blade in its final MP form.  There is very little (no) chance that I'll ever have it in my inventory, but I suspect I'll be seeing it in action soon (i'm looking at you, rock). 

 

I'd suspect that the server overrides can only affect the ability (in this case, Crescent Blade) cooldown and damage modifier values.

 

The reason is because changing the appearance for a weapon supposedly requires a patch, which requires a string replacement in the data files. A proc replacement would require the same thing as well.

 

I'll stop here now

[BiggyDX]

I'm also anticipating that this weapon will have a high crit damage bonus

I find the "history" of the weapon an interesting read.

 

I remember the Von Haden surname, once part of the DAIMP team long ago...

Wish I may a Gray Warden will be given to us so that there is another character who can use this not so secret anymore special weapon. Nice work Wavebend.

2001: A Space Odessey is my favorite movie. For years I was mystified by the brilliant, interpretive ending that made little sense without context; the monolith, the room, the star child.

Then I read the novel, released at the same time through a collaboration between Kubrick and Sagan. It explains, in Sagan's classic clinical prose, the reason behind every muddled point that the film stylized so ethereally. It was revealing; it was a bit of a let-down. I liked discussing the minutiae of symbolism that Kubrick portrayed, listening to others' thoughts was fascinating. After the Sagan reveal, I was awash in the cold glare of The Truth. Again, a bit of a let down.

This data mining saga reminds me of that. As jaded and cynical as we all are of Bioware and PromotionLords and [insert grievance here], an actual surprise would have been nice.

As an actual Real Life Scientist (I'm an oceanographer), I'll never discount the expansion of new beneficial knowledge. But this whole revelation, like learning that Dave got hyperadvanced by aliens to colonize the planets (except for one of Saturns moons), is a bit disappointing. So a sincere thanks for both the information and the let-down.

(That was a bit dramatic but I'm on my like 15th miller lite so I'm a little weepy)
