The shift key is your friend 

This was one of my original rant posts!!! bwahahah I love this section! xD (I got a random like +100 cred somewhere :|)





if you don't want people to see your ign name or skillset PRESS THE EFFIN' SHIFT KEY WHILE YOU TAKE YOUR SCREENSHOT!

I love looking at screenshots I think they're awesome.... minus when they have random poaitn crap all over them. Lets be honest with ourselves people, chances are your build isn't unique and there's at least 50 peopel running it like you are... no one cares what skills you're using no need to crappen up a good screenshot with ugliness from paint.

Please stop murdering my eyes ;'(

RE: The shift key is your friend 

I rather use CTRL+SHFT+H since then you can look around while your UI is off :)

RE: The shift key is your friend 

hmmm, i do agree with what your saying...

BUT! for screens like the 15 - 0 RA win, you cant use that option or it would take the score off the screen. Basically making the whole point of the ss obselite.

But i do agree with you though, CTRL + SHIFT + H for ss is the way forward.

RE: The shift key is your friend 

I totally agree, one of my biggest peeves as an admin is approving a shot with the UI showing. I usually DNA them and tell the person hey next time no UI but if its good or something REALLY cool...you approve anyway...it stinks.

NO UI ON SCREENIES!!!!!! I mean unless there is something there important to the shot...but a majority of the time for screenshots to post atleast there isnt.

RE: The shift key is your friend 

i ctrl-shift-h as well.

people that black out their builds, c'mon. it's not likely that you have something that's a 'secret' from the gaming community and it makes screenshots look terrible.






All lies and jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

RE: The shift key is your friend 

The reason i think people block out their builds is because it tends to get more attention than the ss. No matter what build you have, someone will always comment on a better way to do things.

Takes the foucs away from why you made the ss in the first place.

Yup, that's what they do that for, I believe.

If you keep the build viewable, you're opening yourself to abuse. It's not that everyone's seen the build, it's the people who think they have a better one.

people most likely cover their builds becasue some people slag them off for what is on the skill bar.. for me i couldnt care what people thought of the build i use, but some people may be a little bit more sensitive to it
