Hypnotik: To fill you guys in on what's going on with the stream:   Right now, it appears that Twitch may be having some tech issues, so we're not able to broadcast live. We're recording the battles locally, and will do a rebroadcast once that issue gets resolved, along with Q's and my terrible, terrible commentary (Rukill, we need more lessons!!!!).

Laera: This issue appears to be resolved, but we'll continue to keep an eye on it for now. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

TragicLoss: o7 Good luck with the coding.

TragicLoss: Yeah, I've been having a similar problem. I've been trying out Arty recently and playing today if I wasn't 100% zoomed in for at least a minute my shot would go wild. Sometimes even if I was fully zoomed for a decent amount of time it would go out of it's way to miss literally outside of where my screen was.

TragicLoss: If anything it might be in scripts, open them with notepad and just ctrl+f and look for "friend" or "enemy". You should be able to find it, but from there I'm not sure how to display username... 

TragicLoss: Something went wrong with one of the mods you installed. Remove the mods and re-install them.

TragicLoss: Replay!!!??!
