I read your hint today on my death recap. "Have you tried actually trying?"

omFNVZY.jpg?1

GreySkull adds it into the death recap.
local inspirationalBanter = {
    'You really need to think that you are good at this.',
    'Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward.',
    'Amassing a 24 man group will increase your survivability.',
    'Impen is kind of important, but so is being good.',
    'Have you tried PVE?',
    'Consider the mongoose, would they have put up a fight like this? Get back in there champ, and keep the claws up.',
    'Wow. We are actually speechless.',
    'Have you tried actually trying?',
    'Have you tried resetting your router?',
    'Next time, stick them with the pointy end.',
    'Impen really really really really helps.',
    'Next time, don’t make insulting yo moma emotes, it just angers them.',
    'Actually having damage.',
    'Lift with your legs, not your back.',
    'If there are two coconuts, and you take one away, the remaining coconut would still last longer than you did.',
    'Equip more Earthgores.',
    'Search for tutorials on YouTube, you may just get a tiny bit better.',
    'If you happened to be streaming on Twitch during this, it is all kind of funny if you think about it.',
    'You should listen to encouraging music when fighting, like Bon Jovi.',
    'Hold block a bit more.'
}

    No photoshop or image manipulation. Just a company trying to troll a paying customer and doesn't realize the customers hold the power. Maybe I should troll them back? :wink:

    While quite humourous, I know some add-ons sneak in these snarky death recaps messages sometimes. Quite a laugh though!

    Summer is coming up and the good weather has arrived meaning there's less reason to stay indoors. I've played the game for more than 5 years. There's not much left to do. :smile:

    Heh, I almost never read the death recap because it's usually obvious what killed me, but if addons sneak things like that in maybe I should check it more often.

    "Equip more Earthgores".
