    WHY DID THEY SEE THE NEED TO GO INTO MAINTENANCE MODE MIDDAY TODAY!!

    It’s ok. I didn’t want to finish my RoN boss encounter today anyways. Dammit.

    I don’t normally complain but the state of the engine/codebase is in a crappy place.

      Threadlings are super fun on Warlock and should get a lot better with the upcoming buff. Coldsnaps absolutely destroy with Osmiomancy!

    I revisted D1 again after at least a year of not logging in. Went through my vault, reminisced on all the weapons, armor, abilities, etc. that haven’t come back (and probably never will). Even loaded in to a Prison of Elders and got in with two people on round one! And then a heroic strike, also loaded in with someone, and then someone else loaded in a few minutes later.

    It’s crazy how much faster super regen in that was. And no clamber. 30 FPS was the biggest though - I felt like a potato.

    I’ve been running a lot of nightfalls this week to try to get an osprey to drop. Between bugged platinum rewards and it being a slog even on legend, it’s quite disheartening to not get a single one. I’m not even trying to farm it, just need one so I can focus at zavala. Edit sorry if this appears multiple times, Lemmy is being weird

    I know scouts aren’t meta and haven’t really been meta for a while, but I’ve been having an absolute blast with a Taraxippos with Hatchling in Control matches lately.

    I play Hunter and use Threadling grenades and the new aspect for the decoy dodge (which I mostly just use for even more Threadlings). Threadlings aren’t that powerful on Hunter, but I’m going for quantity/frequency over DPS potential.

    Because I’m constantly spawning in these little personal Screebs, and from long distance, I’m getting tons of tags on enemies that I’m even seeing yet, so if somebody else ends up getting the clean-up, I’m still usually getting a bit of ability regen for the assist, anyway, which lets me throw even more Threadling grenades and decoys.

    The little chip damage from a Threadling isn’t much, but it can shave off a shot or two from your TTK when they stick their head out of cover. And Threadlings are great at making people poke their heads out; nobody wants to just stand still and tank the damage, so they usually panic and try to challenge, where they’re easy pickings from afar.

    I’ve been pairing it with Foetracer, to get a leg-up on people trying to challenge my lanes from around corners. It’s kind of a weird build to go for, and the playstyle really does require that you sit in the back of the map and play a bit more slower/calculated, but it’s been a ton of fun to use. I get more hate-whispers from this than when I bring out the Jotunn. :)

      Hey that’s cool, I didn’t know that about the new Hunter decoy dodge (I kind of glossed over it tbh), I’ll give this a try! For me, I just really dislike the strand supernoodle on Hunter - we really need an alternate ranged version to complement GG/Tether/Storm/Squall on the Strand class. My hunter is not a bonk hunter, we play the ranged game.

      (sadly, your comment didn’t federate over to the lemmyverse, lemmy.world is struggling hard right now and some stuff isn’t even posting / voting correctly locally much less via other lemmy servers or kbin)

        Yeah, the super is easily the worst part of the Strand Hunter kit, especially for PVP. Even moreso when you’re using an already long-range build like I am. It gives you basically zero damage resistance and forces you into third-person, so if you’re being shot at from outside your super’s range, there’s basically nothing you can do about it but give up and die. Honestly, there’s some games where I just straight-up won’t pop my super at all, because I never end up in a situation where it’s worth using.

    Work has made it to where I can only play in brief spurts most of the time. Geforce now is a boon because it has let me go fish or knock out a strike as a quick little break before I get back to work in my home officr
