This is specifically not supposed to work. During development of the unique the stat description was set to make this clear, saying "...when you gain a Buff from your Aspect of the Avian Skill". But it looks like that was changed to the current wording at some later time when cleaning up the descriptions. My best guess is the clearer one was word-wrapping on some resolutions, and was changed to be shorter without realising that the part specifying it had to be your aspect of the avian skill was important. I have made a note to get this improved in the future.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Upvoting a dev comment doesn't help if it's buried in a thread.
If a dev comment is buried in a thread, it's quite possible that it's only relevant to that thread, and presenting it out of that context, under the initial post, may be misleading (see my other post above for an example)
The other part of this is that this is already literally the point of upvotes. Anything from a Dev SHOULD be highly upvoted, since upvotes means that it is relevant. The real problem is that people think it's a "dislike" button. Devs should NEVER be downvoted regardless of whether anybody likes or doesn't like what they are saying.
We shouldn't have a bot just to cater to people who want to abuse/misuse the system.
Devs should NEVER be downvoted regardless of whether anybody likes or doesn't like what they are saying.
I'm not convinced this is true. I've definitely been known to go off on tangents to the point that I could be considered off-topic, and despite my best efforts, occasionally I will misread a question and give an answer that doesn't actually apply to what was actually asked, and could be misleading - which should be downvoted because it's not relevant to the actual question asked (and if it's misleading, lowering it's visiblity until my mistake is pointed out and I can fix it is a good thing).
With regard to the overall suggestion though, I can see why it would be useful, but personally I'd prefer it to only have links to the dev responses, rather than also quoting the text from them, because it's reasonably common that I won't answer the main question of a post because several other people already have, but will respond to a different q...
