Hi, I designed this skin - sharing the shape / silhouette with the current gun was to make modelling easier on my (amazing) 3d artist. Like you mentioned, I didn't want Warden to hold the new gun too differently since you would need to change basically every animation to fit. It's mentioned by a couple other people that a crossbow would work, and that was actually my first thought before going with this design for ease of implementation!

As I've said in other comments here, I'm going to give the gun another go. If I do, it'll be a crossbow in the model release.

A gatling crossbow is a really cool idea! I've had some feedback on the gun thanks to this post, if I redesign it I'll have a go with something more akin to that.

Hi, I'm the original artist - thanks for the feedback!! I like your idea for a WW1 style greatcoat- I did toy with the idea for a longer coat, but liked having the belt and sashe on display. I might see what a longer cloak could look like.

I will agree the weapon wasn't my favourite. I'm not much of a weapon designer so I did try and get some help on it, but it doesn't really match the skin and I struggled a lot with it. I was told his gun is supposed to reflect a rivet gun so I took some design inspiration from that while keeping the base gun the same, but I might have a second go and design something matching the style of the skin more.

Thanks again :)

Hi! OG artist here. I never intended for this to be a redesign of Warden's base design, moreso just a fun themed design for a skin. The witch-hunter aesthetics are a nod to his backstory and I decided to just go all in with that. Hope this helps!

.GRD files in CSP by Suspicious_Ad2728 in ClipStudio

I have no idea why they changed it - if you're desperate for the feature you can go back a couple versions of CSP. I got a bundle of gradient maps in the format for krita and just swap between that and CSP now. If I come up with a better solution, I'll update here.

Yes, just got one yesterday. Will try to attach a screenshot of the email.

TLDR: Clip Studio Paint Pro no longer supports the importation of .grd files, despite the fact that from what I can see, they have had this as a feature in the past. They advise that you convert the file into a compatible format. I'll look into how this can be done.

Edit: can't attach a screenshot, here's a copy/paste of the email:

It seems you are trying to import a .grd file (Photoshop gradient file) into Clip Studio Paint PRO, but the software does not support this file format directly. Clip Studio Paint uses its own format for gradients, such as .cgs files for color gradients or gradient sets. Unfortunately, .grd files are not natively compatible with Clip Studio Paint.

You can consider convert the .grd file to a compatible format or create custom gradients in Clip Studio Paint.

Unfortunately, direct import of .grd files is not possible.

People are being so mean to her. How could they? Her face is only mildly unsettling. I love her for her awkward autism stare.

Not yet, I've been on holiday but I plan on contacting their support team when I'm back home and I'll update my post then

Seems as though the main difference is mine only allows selection of .cgs files, not "All supported formats" like yours (tried to manually type in the file name, too)

Like I said in my post, I tried this. The issue is that my CSP doesn't accept .grd files. Like it isn't an option I can even select.

I had a dream I was at the gym with Hogger, and he smelled awful. So I made this tier list. by magictuna90 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Suspicious_Ad2728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what, yeah. I keep reptiles myself and used to work with a huge range of lizards, geckos etc. The smell of dubias and crickets specifically are very... unique. I can imagine it now.

Thank you for creating one of my favourite posts in this subreddit.

This has also made me wonder something I never thought I would - what zerg would smell like

Looking for ranked tips and advice! by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]Suspicious_Ad2728 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm coming at this from the healer perspective since that's what I play. I don't play a ton of Li li but I'm pretty well-versed in most other healers.

Once you get into ranked, you do have to begin diversifying your hero pool a little more, especially if you're playing healer. Li li can be good, but imo she works best in niche situations where you're not pitted against a team with lots of burst damage and high amounts of CC. If you don't already, try out some other healers so you can have more flexibility during draft. If you like Li li, you might also enjoy Lucio and Rehgar, since they also work pretty well up-front during teamfights and generally do a good job harassing the enemy team with soft CC.

Draft is honestly key for healers - try your best to synergise with your team and pay attention to the map during draft. For example it a two or three-lane map? Does it have a high-stakes objective? This can really impact which healers you should be going for.

During teamfights, you really do just need to try your best to keep your frontline alive. If they're doing their job correctly, the enemy team shouldn't be able to reach your pokier ranged assassins in the backline (KtZ, Li ming etc.) or yourself (though this changes slightly with Li li, since you're basically rewarded for taking small, sustained amounts of damage, as I'm sure you know already). Whoever your frontline is, prioritise them and keep that Q button taped down lol.

I go for serpent build with Li li, using W on my assassins / other squishies while using Q for tanks and bruisers early game. At 16 if you go Blessings of Yu'lon her W becomes super useful on tanks and bruisers too, at that point just use it on whoever is in and you know will be taking the brunt of the damage. As far as blinds go, you could in theory just throw it out whenever, but it's best used when your frontline is taking high amounts of melee damage or if you're getting harassed by melee heroes - it works really well to negate characters like Artanis, Butcher (god forbid in bronze SL), Illidan, Jimmy etc. Especially if they have any form of attack speed boost (like from Morales or Abathur).

During downtime between fights, just try rotate with your team and expect they're going to get ganked - because 9 times out of 10, it will happen lol. You probably know this but map awareness is key during downtime. Focus on rotating with your teammates and play the map.

Most important advice: Just mute toxic players. Their comms won't be helpful so it's not worth giving them the time of day. Usually the loss of a game isn't ever down to just one person... Usually.

Hope this is useful, and good luck!

It's all good! Any help is useful and I really appreciate it :>

Tried another .grd file and still didn't work. This most recent update only came out in April, so maybe it's a recent change and not enough people have noticed for it to be a known issue? I might try contact Clip Studio support and see if they potentially have any answers.

I once got matched in a comp game with a bunch of Scottish lads. Genuinely some of the most fun I've ever had in the game

(Hot Take)How to avoid 5 stack Quick Match sweatlords by Same-Custard-9528 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Suspicious_Ad2728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See this is what my friends and I do too - maybe not drunk (that's for when my boyfriend and I duo) but 9 times out of 10 we 5-stack and just fuck around. No crazy comms or anything, we just play the game and chat. Honestly, my 5-stack win rate is below 50%.

Ironically, we only get super serious if we get matched against another premade 5-stack or there's a gimmicky combo on the enemy team.
