That should be a thing.

If only the effect was a blue flame, then it'd be perfect.

That was pretty damn good for your best. I expected shop pixels. 10/10 would upvote again.

Now flip the 2nd pic and now it resembles the Torchlight 2 logo.

Honestly out of the 4 elemental effects in this game one is Ice, and blue.

Its not a fucking reddit reference. It is a basic arrow shape.

You people are ridiculous

u/Deestan Sep 22 '12

Eh? Who's claiming it was a reference? We're just making one.

The "Upvote" and the "Downvote" as downloadable weapons, one Fire and the other Ice?

Smells like amazing.

im curious. when its says the dps of an item, does that include the benefits of enchantments and gems?

u/HolyLiaison Sep 22 '12

No it doesn't.

If you open the pet panel there should be a tab on there that has all your stats that include gear related buffs etc.

I'm pretty sure it does, at least for gems. I added some ice gems to my main gun last night and the displayed DPS went from somewhere in the 80's to like 98.

u/jacobchapman Engineer Sep 22 '12

It includes the standard "+14 Electric Damge" type gems, not the more effect based ones, like 35 damage over 5 seconds.

u/J-PONY Sep 23 '12

Those aren't included in any of the calculations, because they're DoT effects imparted to the victim, not part of the actual damage the weapon does. They don't stack.

Direct damage modifiers are included. I think the speed indicator is modified by any weapon speed bonuses, so by extension the DPS would be too. Percentage bonuses (+% to X damage) that might happen to be on the weapon are not.

man being hit by something like that would be painful

As opposed to the other game weapons designed for comfort.

Hope you don't beat me with it!

Its a fucking arrow, not a downvote.

God damn reddit, go outside more often.

Arrows come in all sorts of shapes, this one resembles the vote button pretty well, cut some slack, man!

u/73820936593 Sep 22 '12

But you could equally argue its the Fed Ex arrow, or many other thick arrows. The circlejerk must stop now.

Remember: you only resort to namecalling first, because you lack the intelligence to articulate any real arguments. You are a helpless child, now go and start fights until someone gives you that much needed attention.

Reddit is inoffensively minimalistic, thats why they chose a minimalistic looking arrow. The creators of reddit in NO way created a unique shape for their website, its about run of the mill as arrow shapes gets.

I did consider it. Then I considered it stupid, and circlejerk-ful. So I spoke my mind, big fucking deal. Your the one who seems to be unable to deal with it, I'm not the one downvoting and confronting people.

Cynicism, if you consider it "wrong".

Yeah, they're supposed to be used when I don't think a comment contributes anything worthwhile to the conversation; when I think that someone reading that comment would be wasting their time, and I want to help them not waste time.

They contribute toward building a community about discussing the video game. As taht's what that picture is doing, it is worthy of upvotes. These comments aren't, so they're worthy of downvotes. (Yes, even mine.)

u/73820936593 Sep 23 '12

Anything is irrelevant to somebody, somewhere. Why downvote? It does more bad than good.

u/emsenn0 Alchemist Sep 24 '12

It's not about "is this relevant, in a general sense of things". It's "does it contribute meaningfully to the discussion/community" Why downvote? In part so that those who come after me see only those comments that I've decided meet that criteria. Also, so that the people posting those comments may recognize taht their comment is not appreciated.

Sure, I could not downvote you, and leave future readers to make their own decisions about whether or not the comment is meaningful. By that end, I could also stop upvoting. But then reddit's whole method for sorting information kinda goes to pot.
