Are ego/artefact weapon art the same now?


Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

It sure looks like they are. I don't like it. I keep getting excited about what looks like an artefact weapon on D:1 only to realize it's just a runed orcish short sword and therefore probably cursed, unbranded, and negatively enchanted.

Hahahahahaaa.

No.

(the coloration of items is a setting, and has no fixed meaning. Perhaps the default coloring settings changed?)

Nah, ego weaponry has blue text, artifact weapons have white text. (Apologies about the white-on-grey there; I don't know if it's possible to highlight something).

I think he is talking about the tiles.

afaik, the only regularly-appearing weapons with the same ego/artefact tiles are whips and hammers; there may be a few others. Greatswords too, I think.

It's a bug that should be fixed now, yes. I learnt my lesson of meddling with such terrifying things that I don't understand and have left the matter of deciding which pictures are better than the other pictures to the experts instead!
