Still one of my favourite looks to names of all my alts, so thanks again! You and Merc are kind and generous souls.

DH longbow skill 'Hunter's Ward'.

If you've ever been hit by Hunter's Ward, Dragon's Maw, and the Chronomancer gravity well at the same time, you know what hell is.

Hell is being bounced around like a goddamn pinball until you die, because you literally can't escape it.

I should really just

Dragon hunter not talking much seems like it could be good. I honestly can't stand my guardian. I have one of those change kits, but I would have to pick up a name change one as well. I'll get dragon hunter and try it out before I jump the gun though.

Then thank you as well! I am free and easy with my crediting, and my memory, as I'd almost forgot that convo entirely. Good times.



Incidentally I also updated my warrior for berzerker, namely his condi set.

I added a crucial element, mistward leggings, and managed to get them to match the rest of it despite its terrible glossiness! A legit use for Shadow Green!

It's actually a lot of fun putting things on a lot of fire!

Almost wish I'd saved my third teq hoard for torch instead of gs, after sword and longbow, but viridian ascended torch basically looks exactly the same as the teq one anyway.

I also completely accidentally matched the preorder glider skin perfectly, just look at that poo poo

Please ignore the green lit cave, it also looks good in regular lighting too

Right now I have the leyline shoulders as my "pop" since the blue wavies are pretty close to birdstaff. The problem is when I'm actually playing the game ie using my good weapons they just look hideous.

hahaha who am i kidding nobody actually plays thieves

Good lord, who the gently caress programmed that algorithm and who the gently caress code-reviewed it and went "yep, looks like that'll work fine."

I'd ask what the gently caress ANet's QA is doing except I know someone who used to be a QA Lead there and he left a while back for actual good pay (they don't pay QA enough to be able to afford experienced/effective QA people).

It's not a bug. You get penalized if a person you queue with leaves/disconnects.

I read the reddit thread, I know exactly what it is.

It's absolutely a bug, and ANet acknowledged it as such in the reddit thread. It's an incredibly stupid oversight while creating the algorithm that determines the pip gain/losses on a match ending, they forgot to take into account the possibility of someone on the winning team getting disconnected and getting the dishonored debuff.

and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
The dev response in the thread stated that it was a countermeasure towards teams that would have a player DC on their team to prevent an actual loss and try to game the system...except that should only apply if they actually LOSE, not WIN as a result...

Still bullshit to be honest, it's pretty common to have players disconnect for reasons totally outside of their control, network issues, etc, and no one should be punished as a result.
