Sniper rifle quality should probably be distinguished by higher FA requirements for performance (i.e. higher tiers of sniper rifles requiring more FA for the same accuracy) alongside reliable devastation, yes.

The problem is not making this something so good so as to make it almost mandatory to have on your roster, since a rather reliable "kill" feature from a sniper squad seems like something most would want to erase their frontline mistakes.

Dropbox does not work well for large amounts of downloads (and 1k downloads of ~40 MB is a lot) unless you pay up.

There are two ways to handle stat damage while wearing a stat-increasing item:

1) When item is taken off, set "current" stat to [MaxStat * (BoostedStat / BoostedMaxStat)], so taking off a ring of +100 hp at 160/180 hp would set it to [80 MaxHp * (160 BoostedHp / 180 BoostedMaxHp) = 71 hp].
2) When item is taken off, simply deduct the bonus from the current stat. Yes, this means that you'll die if you take that ring off at <=99 hp. Tough luck if you wanted another ring in that slot!

The use case of #1 is rather limited without tedious swappy-swaps for min-maxing, so the Oh So Dangerous #2 is probably the way2go.

Oh but it's well worth asking him things.
It's just that we all enjoy our fair share of trolling for the lulz.

It's obviously just a joke crafted specifically for the purpose of triggering nosy people and leaving their nosiness unsatisfied due to there not being any answer.

because that was the joke

Yeah, he noticed and fixed that later.
Nicely spotted though.

If you give me stuff to rip off (or, indeed, just simple edits and descriptions of what you want, because I've more or less hit a creative wall at this point o_O) then I can add it to the inevitable hit list of Things To Do.

I've been more or less in a productivity coma this past month, but it should clear out soon now that I barely have any exams left now.

The only time arced shots are used with bows is when you are providing bombardment fire against an enemy army.
Otherwise bows are operated in a similar horizontal fashion as guns, though with more heavy adjustments for gravity.

You know, I'd have no opposition of a "suicide-bomber unit" (incidentally, I just wrote about one in another post), but calling it a Muslim superhero? that's rather low.

it's a dank meme
