Besides the descriptions, I would need help in the following departments.
- Itemization Crew. (You make gear with certain stats, it requires a decent amount of math and I can explain it in depth further)
- Trigger Crew. (1-2 members should be efficient. I can do a little but I'm no expert at it).
- Testing Crew. (2-4 members should be the least. This is very important for valuable data)
- Modelers.
- Mapper.
