Guild Wars 2

Throwing in about 30 lvl80 exotics, at one point I ended up with only <= lvl78 exotics, which if you think about it, is so sad, its hilarious.

At first that only happened when I used mystic forge stones (you know, a few months after release), since Ive been back after a long break, that happens with and without mystic forge stones.

Thanks Veron for posting the patch notes. It also explains the rather ridiculous prices on precursors then. If you dont even get a guaranteed lvl80 exotic back, thats like increasing lotto to 100 numbers and saying “but hey, you get to choose from a bigger pool of numbers”.

American euphemisms at work.

Im not really angry about that achievement being difficult or grindy. Im angry about it going totally against gameplay and resulting in people camping spot or whole groups destroying games to get that achievement.

Why couldnt it have been 1k assisted kills (or even more)? Its STILL grindy and will take a while, but without it going against gameplay (as you are supposed to kill stuff, right? as in opposed to just interrupt stuff and camping one spawn point).
Or maybe 1k killshots (last hit).

Also daily achievements ensure people playing that minigame, because in the long run, those 5 wins are three times as much worth ap-wise.

Really, achievements shouldnt dictate gameplay, and thats exactly what this achievement atm does in 50% of the games I join. The other 50% are about daily 5 wins. It is getting really annoying.

Dragon ball is a nice minigame for adrenaline junkies like me because its so fast paced. And I really was quite happy about seeing it coming back and me having finally good latency. But it gets totally ruined by those two achievements:
- 5 wins daily and
- 100 interrupts.

The concept of megaservers is great. Having to maintain empty maps on all servers is definitely a drag on server performance. So Im all for the concept.

The implementantion is totally lackluster.

As said before, we need to be able to switch to a different map simply to avoid bugged events that hamper our progress (Ogre Wars…….).

Trying to get a big guild grp onto the same servermap is still way too complicated, why not just add “join in map bla” option to guild and friends list? It really shouldnt be that difficult to implement.

Anet cant even be bothered to fix meta events like Ogre Wars… you really think they are gonna bother with mini-event achievements? ^^

25 interrupts or 100 dazes

Would still be annoying enough to get it, but not so off-putting as it is atm.

Or just change it completely to: 1000 assisted kills. Id love that achievement. It would fit right in with gameplay, making it fun to trying to get that.

Not just you, jesus… That image is gonna haunt me forever

In an optimal setup you have 2 warriors with differing builds, 2 eles with differing builds and a guardian/mes. You can switch one of the doubles against a thief for skipping more easily, depends on the dungeon. Not quite as useful as a thief are: mesmer, engineer.

Ranger and Necros range at the bottom of the list because especially necro brings nothing to the current meta that another profession cant do a tons of times better. Yes, damage with a suitable build (NOT the one posted on metabattle btw, thats crap) can be good, not as good as a warrior though. And wells only get in the way of might stacking. No reflect, vuln stacking can be better done by sc/focus ele and warrior, engineer stacks about as fast as necro but brings blasts and firefields as utility.
Lets face it, necro has not much useful utilities, and those even get stomped by being the wrong kinds of fields.
Dont get me wrong, my main was for a long time necro, but I gave up on necro ever being more than 4th choice in pve. If you want to play necro, play wvw. There you’ll feel like a king if you can dodge and have enough awareness to not get stomped at every inc. Believe me, nothing is more fun than playing power necro with a good group.

Anyway. Its not all about damage. Its also not just about staying alive. Just as its not all about pure theoretical knowledge. And neither only about reflexes. Its a mix of those that makes you a good player.

AP is a suitable way of measuring quickly how much time someone spend on gw2 already. Yes, you can get to 80 by just crafting, but then your experience with pve will be, well, null when you hit 80 and that will be reflected by your AP.

Honestly, what is one supposed to do otherwise to weed out those without a clue… hold a competition? Let everybody fill out a questionaire? Silly that. So AP it is.

And no, I wont spend my time on teaching others how to play the game. Did that for far longer than I should have put up with it anyway, and now with the new LFG I have the option of just leaving the grp if they are not playing on my level or kicking someone if that someone puts down symbols on every fire field even though told simply NOT to use symbols at all.
Im faster finding a new and better grp / replacement, then having to carry (and yes thats having to carry someone) one or more players just because they could have hurt feelings if they get kicked.

Honestly, if someone searches for some specific characteristics to fill his / her group, why do you guys think its okay to critizise that? Its up to the one making the group to decide what that group should look like. Its NOT up to you guys, just because it would suite YOU better. Make your own group with your own set of rules if you dont like the ones that are currently available.

Kindergarten that kind of behaviour.

On topic:
Also, another way of finding a guild is visiting your servers forum (just search server name on the internet and you will find just about every server forum) and look for PvX guilds. Those have the added benefit of not just doing PvE stuff like dungeons, living story and fractals, but also doing some wvw together and maybe even a few rounds spvp every few days or so.
Also, in my experience, PvX guilds have a higher tolerance of newbie mistakes, making it the perfect starting ground for new players. Guilds that “specialize” on PvE content usually expect you to already have a fair knowledge about dungeons, meta game etc.

That kick has a HUGE aftercast that is NOT mentioned in skill description, making it hit ONLY if you have decent latency.

How I know this?

One account EU → kick hits about everytime
Another account US → kick misses about 90% of the time

Reminds you of something? YES. Same issues after release with warrior GS 5 skill, fixed when? Oh yes… about 1 year after release, and only fixed for objects recently.

Anet just LOVES to make content that highlights their own incompetence at fixing existing bugs.

So wait… trolls get trolled too? I just… I think my whole world just got destroyed

More options… Im all for more options.

Younger, thats where the problems start. Without getting into deviant territory… I already can see those tons of “street urchin” looking characters in DR or LA begging for gold

More options, yes.

How about… a potion that can transform a character into a kid or a crone for some time, with lets say 10 different models to randomly get chosen?

Im sorry, but you are missing my point

Nowhere does anet state that we have to play with everybody in a casual way.

You dont like the requirements I put up in my group search… so why dont you just make your own group and play the game your own way?

And sorry, but you saying that with 500 ap you are better than everybody you played so far, that makes YOU the elitist, not me. Im just making a good and valid point. The point being:
nobody can force someone else to play the game a certain way
nobody can force anyone to group with him/her

Stop trying to force YOUR way on others. Its getting embarassing. Just dont join groups that write “5k+ ap” or “exp only” in their group search. The community is more than big enough to find other groups.

Btw, a speedrun is a run that completes a certain content as fast as possible by using optimal settings.
How about you grow up a little, so to speak, in gw2 and then we talk again when you spend about 2k hours on gw2? Not really in the mood to discuss with someone something that he has little to no experience with.

Not to mention, your peeve with being judged by the amount of ap you have, is actually not what this thread is about

Its about: how to get past that stage of limited skills and into the realm of being accepted into 5k+ ap or experienced only groups (aka: how to become a player considered a good player by a big part of the community).
As to that… one more thing… just by playing the game with your guildies for a while, you get 5k ap easily, as well as the necessary skills to not be called a bad player anymore.
Thats actually how low those requirements are

Im sorry, but I just created a new human female character and spend hours on trying to make that character NOT look like a highschool attendant before stumbling about this thread, so Im with all the no-sayers.

Im a woman, and even I feel slightly uncomfortable playing a female teenager or even female child in any game. Has to be much worse for men I imagine. As it is, I like that the new styles go more towards the older looking direction, well, most of them anyways.

And if you want to play a character thats small and cute without breasts or genitalia… why not just create an asura? :/

I dont get why people feel slighted just because others dont want them in their dungeon groups. Its THEIR dungeon group, not yours.

AP is an easy way to determine how much experience someone in general has. Someone with 800 ap wont have more than that one 80 character and only limited gear to boot.
Someone below 5k ap probably wont know all the things necessary to make a speedrun run smoothly.

Ive seen so many below 10k people doing stupid stuff like not staying in corners, dodging backwards, putting down non-fire fields during blasting, putting down reflects when either not necessary or other reflect just put down etc.

So, my educated guess is -> with players below 10k ap my chance on getting a good, competent player are something around 10%. Im not willing to take that chance, so Im putting in the request that only 10k+ ap people join my group, or they will get kicked.

You dont like my attitude? Then why are you even joining my group?

Get it?

@ ekarat
Why are your reflexes not good enough? If it isnt because of some kind of disability, then its just because you havent done it often enough, which can be easily fixed by running dungeons with your guild.
All of our “reflexes” were bad at one point, but by playing the game long enough, getting the knowledge, you get to the point that some things are just easy for you.
2k ap means to me, you havent played the game for longer than about 1k hours? So, Id be expecting you to make mistakes.
There’s enough guilds out there willing to overlook such newbie mistakes as long as you are willing to learn.
So, whats a bad player to do? Get practice with people more knowledgable and nice enough to overlook stupid mistakes.

@ Azrael
Some people, like me, dont have much time, but lots of experience and they play the game above standard. So those people maybe, just maybe, want to get max available content done during the limited time they have each day. Maybe to buy themselves a precursor, or to get achievements done or whatever.
Others are just not willing to spend more time on something then is absolutely necessary.
You obviously want to enjoy the game and have a lot of time on your hand to do it more casually. Others dont. Are they bad people because of it? Nope. They just dont want to play the game at YOUR pace, but their own and look for people capable and willing to keep up. YOU dont want to keep up (dunno if you are capable) so YOUR reaction is to say “those are bad, bad, bad people, they dont want to play the game as I want them to play it”.
Think about it

@ GiraffeRampage
Some things come with experience and playing the game, such as when to dodge, when to use what skill, how to counter skill boss uses, even just recognizing what skill it is boss uses atm.
AP is a fairly accurate way to determine that skill level, as it shows up to a certain amount, how much time someone spend on just playing gw2 already. If you spend 2k hours playing a game, even if you are totally resistent against good advice, you pick up on some stuff.
Maybe there are some that are quite good without having 5k ap. But why should I bother with trying to weed out the unexperienced ones just to find that one capable guy?

Srsly, whats even the point of dragon ball at all as it is?

Atm a game looks like this:
1. Game starts 5v5 (if you are very very lucky without any afkers)
2. First team gets to 100 pts
2. Other team looses players until you have to volunteer
3. Other team’s players either quit or afk – because whats the point leaving spawn just to get zerged by other team
4. Game over.

Ive been trying to get the interrupt done… but at least 50% of the time, skill just wont hit anyway due to latency. Another 30% it LOOKS like Ive interrupted, when in reality, thanks to latency, cast was long done on server. With the other 20% Ive managed to get around 20 interrupts so far.

Has it been fun? About as much fun as running naked through poison ivy.
Is it grind? Hell yes. What a dumb question.

They didnt do “hard” and “easy” achievements… they made:

GrindGrind
and
GrindGrindGrindGrindGrindGrindGrindGrindGrind

achievements.

And if we are doing suggestions… how about NOT punishing the whole team for those afkers even more by porting them out of spawn, hm?

same issue with dry top here

Could you please put Foulbear just on a certain timer with 2nd and 3rd event in that chain started automatically?

Should be absolutely easy to implement this workaround….

Could you please not include drops from known bugged events to achievements? Its ridiculous. This meta event has been bugged – and known about all those issues – since the start.

Also… event not even spawning anymore on: 206.127.159.134 (waited 8 hours, finlay just stands there see screenshot)
Event not progressing due to Maybri not starting 2nd event on: 206.127.159.155 (that server probably got closed again)

This is… well, as I said… ridiculous.

/edit:
added screenshot to x.×.×.155 bug

Hey,

what do you think… how much groveling would be needed to get an interactive list of all timegated stuff ingame similar to daily achievements listing?

Sufficient hardware = I exceed recommended by about 100%.

And sorry guys. But a memory leak does not have anything to do with hardware -.-

Hardware DRIVERS maybe, but thats a kittening big maybe… and since its only happening with gw2… rather not the case.

Yes, I locked framerate. As I said… minimum settings.

Its NOT about the amount of memory used (though you have to admit, its ridiculous what gw2 reserves compared to performance), but the fact that:
- just standing in a map
- memory slowly creeps until limit is reached or
- I manually stop it by either
- shutting down game or
- using setworkingsize (which btw I really DONT like).

Thats a memory leak.

Something “leaks” more and more data into memory. Which is NOT my hardware. But some function inside gw2, probably map update or old character data. Since it doesnt happen in INSTANCES, where theres a set amount of characters.

Currently… as in at the moment.

Just standing in Lion’s Arch I can watch memory increase slowly UP TO 4 GB, then usually I stop it. Not GW2 stops it.

Thats a memory leak.

My hardware has nothing to do with that.

Title says it all.

Windows 7, more than sufficient hardware.

GW2 hogs 50-80% cpu and currently around 4GB memory.

Lowest settings, windowed mode, standing in Lion’s Arch, not moving at all.

Really embarassing guys. That game shouldnt take up more than 40% cpu and 700mb with those settings, and even that is a LOT for such crappy graphics.

Actually, I managed to “sneak” to the north of lab and saw no dead bodies on minimap. As soon as I triggered lab event → npcs died.

How about letting some other poor guy from queue move into spot of that one kicked/dced person?

Give that person a 15 minute lock-out timer so it isnt totally unfair if you really didnt mean to dc, but also enough time to discourage “match hopping”.

Add “left game” statistic.

Remove skyhammer.

Easily doable.

Not done so far → Anet simply doesnt care about spvp, but still wondering why their spvp part of the game tanks so badly ^^

Sorry Evrae Altana, but thats exactly how Ive been doing this for… dunno how many tries.

No achievement.

I can add now: playing story again with another character and trying it with concordia step.

No achievement.

Yep, so much skill. Im really proud of myself there. Never knew what I was capable of. Skyhammer made me realize how much raw potential there is in me.

Not.

You can TRY to dodge about 1 sec after you see glkittenter… 2 sec after you see mesmer put down curtain on glass. But it only works against unskilled noobs. “Good” mesmers/thieves/engineers will wait a bit longer before pulling. Against thief pulls you ckittene reflect as well as stab and dodge, but you have to be fast. Pretty much already hovering above the button. For which you have to know that there actually is a thief…
As shown in my video above, that’s not really something a thief will let you know in advance.

Engineer literally has so many pulls, knocks etc. He can just wait for you to use all your dodge/stab up and pull/knock you after that. The only profession I was ever able to actually out-stab an engineer with, was a guardian with 3x stab. Rotating them properly lets you sit on skyhammer and least block that cannon successfully, though you wont be able to use it.

Mesmer is a bit more tricky, but with the right spec he just rips off your stab and then pulls you after you dodged.

This map would be hilarious to play as a mini-game. But as a spvp map it’s just so totally wrong, there’s no words for it. This map limits the amount of “useful” professions even more so than other maps, and it limits the amount of “useful” builds to… exactly ONE per profession. There’s no “skill” involved in this at all. It’s build vs build. NOT player vs player.
And as such it should NEVER be put into a rated map rotation.

Tbh, I was forced to take a break from gw2 – especially gw2 spvp – due to rl stuff, and first map I got when logging in to do some spvp matches was…. skyhammer…. funny, I didnt have any problem at all quitting right when it popped.

Yasi.9065:

No it doesnt. Just tried it – again – that way and even though I waited 20 minutes after timer ran out before choosing rox… I did NOT get the achievement after saving all 7.

I also tried:
Letting timer run out before even moving from spawn, choosing rox.
Letting timer run out before moving, choosing braham.
Letting timer run out AND 20 minutes more, choosing rox.
Waiting 20 minutes AFTER clearing concordia and choosing rox.
Waiting 20 minutes AFTER clearing concordia and choosing braham.
Not waiting at all, timer runs out before saving lydia.
Not waiting at all, timer runs out AFTER saving all 7.
Not saving anyone and rezzing afterwards.
Waiting for up to one hour after saving all 7.

I wasted kittening forever on this stupid bugged achievement. Will I get any compensation? No. Will they even bother to fix this? Well, doesnt look like it. Bug is known for over 3 days and not a single response.

I was thinking of getting some gems to buy some stuff from gemstore… but after this? Im not gonna spend my hard earned money on a game with zilch support.

This.

This achievement is so badly designed…. description says “go save npcs outside camp” … no indication on WHEN or HOW MANY or WHERE to get them to safety.

Me waiting after rescuing all 7 and searching for other npcs… then after 10 minutes I went to lab and……… achievement failed.

Its difficult to finish due to bad design anyway, there’s not even an indication WHEN to save those npcs… whoever designed this achievement should be forced to play this instance over and over and over for the duration of season 2.

Now everytime and everyway I try to get this… the icon disappears → no achievement.

I even waited for ONE HOUR before going to asura lab → icon disappeared → no achievement.

CONGRATS ANET.

PSILO.4068:

I like the Skyhammer because: Your team is essentially fighting over four areas as opposed to three for the entire match. It forces one to use some environmental awareness. The map mechanics often forces one to alter or completely change builds. It also neutralizes many “cheese” builds/play styles. So, in theory, this should make one a better overall player.

Oh, and the insta-rage it creates is hilarious.

Turret engineer… TOTALLY NOT CHEESE ! Ah yes, forgot… that one was actually created for skyhammer and spilled over to other maps from there…

Bunker guardian… oh wait, also doesnt have to change build or playstyle.

Thief? I actually just have to switch 1 utility skill, thanks.

Terrormancer? Not a single change.

MM? Have to get foot in grave… ah well… doesnt change my playstyle at all.

Mesmer? No change except for switching in focus.

Warrior? No change. Sometimes I switch in rifle for s&g.

Did I forget something? Ah yes… well… eles and ranger get kittened. But they can switch character.

How about you stop telling yourself you are actually good, just because you know how to abuse map design flaws and call that map mechanics?

Renny.6571:

Cynz.9437:

i don’t think there ever will be successfull mmorpg that actually focuses on pvp

DAoC did pretty well….

Daoc didnt focus on pvp at all. Focus was on PvE, with RvR being second. No PvP at all except for PvP server – which was like last to receive any kind of focus. Oh yes… and dueling events, which if you participated could actually get you temp banned

Dont glorify.

Sorry, but if you cant anticipate eviscerate, hammer stun etc… then you should just do a lot more practice. S/D ele for example like to cast their big dmg to the side and then flash into you, just make sure you are attuned to fire when you see them casting up their big dmg spells and then press 4. Or use mistform… blindness… interrupt them with knockback…
The only skill I really have trouble with, that’s guard meditation teleport, but even there burning retreat or mistform always works.

Im casting meteor – always – when dueling… and while casting meteor my groundtarget for flash is already set so I can blink away asap.

I dueled with zerker amu, valk, cele, soldier, cleric… always staff… always casting meteors. Not once did I die during meteor casts.

Dueling as a staff ele, its about setting up your own killzone… kite for about 30seconds while casting fireblast etc… setting up next killzone etc.

If you are in a tournament match and you have to fight on point… make sure to always make your opponent run as much as possible, and as often as possible through firefield/chill/eruption.

…is it even a thing that people have to be “carried” in solo arena or team arena?

Why are people with zero spvp experience on a certain map or profession even allowed to participate without having to at least go through some mandatory tutorial?

Why are explanations about game modes so…….. beta like?

Why is there still no resign function in tournaments?

Why is there a spot reserved for afks/disconnects/quitter in arenas?

Why is the matchmaking system so kittened up?

Why is skyhammer STILL a solo arena map?

Why do I get pve rewards when doing spvp?

Why cant I get shoulders on my lvl1 character?

So many questions…..

You have to lock ranger/thief down.

For example… static -> knockback into it -> earth 2, earth 5 -> fire 2+3+5

Make use of your single target dmg like air 2, fireblast… make sure to re-apply weakness every time you are in earth attunement. Dodge pet attacks (most telegraph pretty obviously).

Put fire 2 on smoke circle/refuge against thieves. Make use of water 4 to keep ranger/thief in meteor.

Ah yes… and I usually prefer to have air elemental against thieves and lb ranger, water elemental against condi rangers.

Out of 3-5 games I play every day, I get at least 2 that are that unbalanced when I queue during prime time.

Sorry, but you werent allowed the chance to trial because you wouldnt or couldnt use teamspeak.
You being deaf might be the reason for you being unable to use voip, but it is NOT the reason why you werent allowed to trial.

Every guild, group, whatever has the freedom to set certain ground rules, being able to use teamspeak is just one most groups use.

You dont like that – nobody is keeping you from building your own team.

Sorry to be so harsh, but imo you are riding a dead horse here. You are not going to force any kind of change because arguments for using voip for team-fights are just way too strong atm. This will change as soon as teams have more tools for ig communication on hand, but until then… voip is the smoothest way.

Stop trying to force people to adapt to you. Stop insinuating people are trying to discriminate you just because you are deaf. Someone that wont use voip because of other reasons would be treated just as you were.

Rock dog cant evade.

About those afk’ers and leavers… you dont really need draconic punishments. Just give 15 minutes timer to those, and as soon as someone disconnects → spot filled by someone else in queue.

Its actually how just about every moba and mmo handles this. Some add a statistical punishment, like if someone leaves a game it’s an automatical loose, or a separate statistic on how many games left etc.

Two teams… one team consists of 4 baddies and one pro, the other of 5 pros… and you really think that one pro can carry those 4 baddies to victory against 5 pros?

Different scenario… 5 egoists on one team, 3 team-oriented players on the other with only 2 egoists that they have to balance out. Wanna bet not a single of those 5 egoists is going to “carry” his team to victory?

I dont know what kind of solo arena games you are getting, but usually, mine are so unbalanced in terms of skills (and I include map awareness, teamplay etc there as well, not just how well someone plays a certain build) that even if I play the perfect game, I simply can not carry the whole team. Because on the other team there are at least 2-3 equally skilled players, PLAYING TOGETHER and simply outplaying me.

For example… a few days ago I got a solo arena game where my team went against 3 thieves (+ 1 mesmer and 1 guardian)… those three thieves were so bad, it was hilarious. One was just spamming hs – so clichee – the other clearly didnt know what his skills did, he was using s/d and jumping all over the place often getting himself stuck somewhere or evading off the clocktower… but the third one… that one was the best… he was running idk what build, but he was only using sb2 and 4. No kidding, only sb2+4.
Those thieves, they didnt even run together most of the time… and still, my teammates managed to DIE to them 1on1. Or they would go against one thief 2v1 / 3v1, and still take forever to kill them… off point most of the time too -.-
I cant go save everyone there, I cant even keep more than one point capped at a time in such a situation.
We lost, not by < landslide, but still lost by about 70 points. I managed to keep the score that close. But there was simply NO WAY to win. I even switched to mesmer with portal to decap/cap two points, but it was essentially a 1v3, where the other team won just because they had 2 more people capping.

Now explain to me, how one is supposed to “carry” the whole team there? And believe me, I tried everything there.

Btw, that game went on during prime time NA on NA servers. Gonna be the last time in a long time I play solo que during prime time, in my experience, my “luck” with teammates isnt quite as bad outside prime time, even though my queue takes more than 5 minutes there… but those 5-10 minutes, I wait gladly.

Snowdress you can “only” hide helmet and gloves, no shoulders. Same with witch.

My guess would be, the shoulders are actually part of torso with that kind of armorskin and they would have to
a) rework all skins and
b) rework town clothing functions

No lags in hotm, as soon as I joined a dueling server → disconnected due to no network answer (error 7 and 54)

Error 58 on eternal battlegrounds quite a few times, so its not only spvp.

Online games rely highly on sound (voip AND ig sounds). As long as there’s no reliable way of translating sound to another sense (like visual output) in realtime, you will always get that reaction.

Real sports is another matter, because there you can compensate with your other senses to a certain degree, with some sports actually with same or better results.

Btw, I played 8v8 in daoc with someone that was half-deaf. It worked to a certain degree, but on some days he just couldnt concentrate fully and it showed immediatly. The rest of the group had to compensate for him, which we did gladly, because we played with him in one group even before his accident that left him half-deaf.
But at one point he stopped logging in because it was just too draining for him and he hated how we had to compensate for him.
And daoc was way more “friendly” for such a situation than gw2 is. There you could easily use chat macros, there were ig-macros for that.

Gw2 doesnt have anything like that, you have to use third party tools, not everybody is willing to risk his/her account with that, or even spending the time setting those up.
And even though you can for example ping on minimap, there’s no different color for every teammate. Etc.

And sorry, but playing tpvp in gw2 needs a lot more communication than just “going far”. It needs a lot of interaction. Especially with current metas, where you have to rotate properly and fast.

Wow, zirith. How about you read the whole thread or even the whole post before picking things right out of their context. But maybe you could at least read the whole TOPIC.

This thread is… for your information… about SOLO QUE… dunno how you get a 1v10 in solo que at all. And empty solo que games arent anything that happens either.

So funny… trying to flame others and stepping right into it

SoloQ (aka solo que aka solo queue) = SOLO ARENA. Not hotjoin (aka play now).

This just reminded me of….

Elementalist and Mesmer

But then you dont actually need those expensive infusions because highlevel fractals are still verboten.

Is this item actually a joke?

I wasnt trying to proof or dis-proof anything. My point is:

You can talk statistics all day long, it doesnt change how people FEEL.

Me. All of it. Everything, even heroes :/
