Testing Powers#

To do: extract all interesting QA test debug powers

There are various item powers used by QA that cannot be seen in game.

Self harm yourself with all the available elements and attributes. Likely used for balancing purposes. You can find these in the file enUS\StringList\powers.stl file. They are helpfully all marked with QA (quality assurance).

QA_10ArcaneDOT_name     QA Arcane DOT   
QA_10ArcaneDOT_desc     Inflicts {Script Formula 0} Arcane DOT damage to yourself and all allies, enemies, and wreckables within 20 yards.
Useful for testing overlays, damage type deaths, buffs, etc.
Turn on -god if you do not want to be affected by this spell.       

Interesting Debug Items#

Strangely, the set of debug items are mostly owned by a "professional russian". Found in Items.stl file. These items are popular with cheaters on the console versions of the game.

Strange textures#

Despite the file names having temp in the name, there are plenty left over. Here are some interesting ones.

left|thumb tempDesign circle obviouslyTemp.dds

left|thumb tempDesign hugs.dds

left|128px Hello World

left|thumb The Best Bow Ever is unique as it is the only file in all capital letters, and no naming convention. It's also very primitive so may have been a joke.

Unused item passive#

Lewis_ItemPassive_Test {c_magic}[{VALUE1} * 2]%{/c_magic} chance on hit to summon a Fetish Sycophant. 

Possibly used by Lewis Villamar for testing the Witch Doctor's Passive Skill Fetish Sycophants. "...you have up to a 15% chance to summon a dagger-wielding Fetish to fight by your side for 60 seconds."
