Changed 'attack speed' to 'attack interval' to avoid confusion

[Taloth]

Tweaked names on 'attack speed' to 'attack interval' to deal with the confusing reversed terminology.
Coz "Attack speed decreased" sounds like a nerf, but it's a buff coz the time between attacks is decreased, so interval is decreased, speed increased. Every single patch note review somebody stumbles over it.

There's also a fix for a buff that was accidentally called a nerf. And Bonus damage now with appropriate + prefix.

Perhaps even rename 'ATTACK SPEED' to 'ATTACK INTERVAL' on the main explorer as well. But that's optional.

At mentioned before, there is confusing terminology about this throughout. Like "Attack speed bonus +20%", is also a buff, it increases the speed by 20%, thus reduces the interval in seconds. So for bonuses it's the reverse.
(I also don't know if it's New attack interval = Old attack interval * 0.8 or New attack rate = Old attack rate * 1.2, where attack rate = 1 / attack interval. It's probably the later, but who knows how it's actually coded.)

Even the 'reload time' implementation isn't consistent, see Reload Drills vs Crossbow Stirrups.

Thanks for these. I'm wondering if long term 'Attack Duration' would make sense, or if that also would set false expectations (i.e. the initial charge maybe be earlier in the attack, then there's cooldown).

There's actually some more to it yeah, reload time != attack interval because it is only a part of the full animation cycle.

Attack Duration could be confused with attacks that do damage over time for example multiple nest of bee projectiles, things like that. So Interval = Attack Chargeup + Attack Duration + Attack Cooldown.
It doesn't matter much, it'd be better than Attack Speed.

Ah, yes, that explains it. I suspected something like that. Tnx for the confirmation.
It does make it harder for harder for players to figure out what certain upgrades actually mean, but that's always been the case in games like this.
