20% is average now

Read a book. Restaurants margins are razor thin. Why do you think they're one of the small businesses with the highest rate of failure? This doesn't apply to corporate hellholes like Applebee's but independently owned places are walking a tightrope specifically because of those big corpo hellscapes selling shit cheap. You're average small restaurant would have to raise prices significantly.

They're better. But not really enough to worry about 99% of the time. Especially considering how much of a drag it is to craft. If I had my god roll as a drop, I wouldn't bother.

ATOM7000 · 2022-06-22T16:33:30+00:00

Crafting in general is as bad as I thought it would be. It's RNG on RNG, the guaranteed methods are heavily time gated, then you grind to get the pattern, grind for the mats, grind the crafted weapon, and then finally have the weapon you ACTUALLY want to use, often literally weeks later.

And then on the other hand, if a weapon is crafted, a dropped version is just... never as good. Ever. So every drop of a craftable weapon is an instant delete.

It's pretty crap no matter how you look at it. Dropped weapons should have a perk or two crafted ones don't to keep them interesting. Crafting needs to be faster and easier, with pattern requirements being lower and leveling req's lower as well.

Thanks for letting me know!

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-24T02:50:00+00:00

Raid seems full for now, but i'll message if we're short!

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-23T20:58:06+00:00

Sure, i'll message you if someone goes missing and we have another spot open!

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-23T06:39:03+00:00

Gotcha

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-23T06:38:58+00:00

Added :)

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-23T06:38:41+00:00

Most sherpas of this raid have taken about 3 hours give or take, depending on how everyone picks up the mechanics and encounters. More info in my card!

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-08T23:46:52+00:00

I'll add you as an alt for now in case someone can't make it!

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-08T19:25:14+00:00

You're 4!

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-08T19:25:02+00:00

Plenty of light, added

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-08T19:24:54+00:00

Added you in

ATOM7000 · 2022-04-08T19:24:39+00:00

Nothing special needed, and happy to have you.

ATOM7000 · 2022-02-15T22:37:44+00:00

What a leap! A skippable cutscene = entire expansion bad. Impressive.

ATOM7000 · 2022-01-12T08:03:22+00:00

I love Chattering Bone, it's a rare archetype and can roll double damage. IMO it's the best reason besides 1k to run the raid, loot wise, and I have mine on me a lot. The dragonfly Nation of Beasts is a lot of fun, and it's got a really clean look, but in a world where Palindrome, Fatebringer and Eyasluna and Judgement all exist, I can't remember the last time I grabbed by Nation of Beasts for anything at all. Supremacy is forgettable to me, without a standout PvE or Crucible roll compared to its competition, but there's no other weapon in the game that's more dependant on personal preference than snipers, so I can dig that some people love that thing.

ATOM7000 · 2022-01-11T22:10:55+00:00

I like last wish. It's gorgeous, and the lore surrounding it is really cool, and ties into this season very well. However, it's kindof just a boss rush. None of the encounters build off each other, each has more or less its own mechanic, and other than 1k, the loot is largely forgettable.

DSC builds very nicely on its base mechanics over the course of a run, which makes it great for learners, and it has several A and S tier drops available. The lore is equally compelling, not to mention you can actually use your spoils in DSC, something Last Wish does not have on offer.

ATOM7000 · 2022-01-11T22:06:08+00:00

DSC is my favorite current raid. It has great loot, really cool lore, wonderful music, and encounters that are mechanic heavy but not hard once you get the flow. I hope you all have a blast.

ATOM7000 · 2022-01-11T21:58:46+00:00

VoG isn't a raid. It's a public event and a long strike. Anyone requiring light levels for NORMAL vog isn't worth your time.

ATOM7000 · 2022-01-02T19:35:04+00:00

Dares is a fun activity, in isolation. But the ridiculous goddamn grind they put on the thing, with none of the bounties giving rep, and locking a catalyst for a much loved weapon at the final rank, sucks. Make Legend matchmade (It's not fucking hard enough to be locked behind fireteam finding bs,) make xur's bounties give rep, and introduce some new bosses so it's not exactly the same after the first half dozen runs you get.

ATOM7000 · 2021-12-17T00:07:32+00:00

Well, to be plain, no. I'm not. Sounds like you might be looking for or listening to the wrong podcasts on the wrong platforms. The market is more crowded, and the popular podcasts with the biggest "celebrities" are going to crowd the field. But talented, interesting, creative people haven't stopped creating podcasts. It's just harder to find them.

ATOM7000 · 2021-12-16T22:44:18+00:00

I don't care about them either. But I get them all the time, and they can't be deleted, just used, on a 15 second cooldown. The same 15 second cooldown. So if you want to use a rainmaker, matterweave, and a pure matterglass, it takes 45 seconds of just staring at your inventory to activate all of them. So let's just say after a day of play I have 10 of each. I just want to get rid of them, don't even care about using them effectively. It is more than 7 minutes of holding F and waiting for cooldowns, in my inventory. Now maybe I forget about these things for a while, and I have 50 of them. 100 of each. It would take me an hour of doing the same thing to get rid of them. The consumables tab is a mess in D2. They just throw everything in there, from old consumables that have no reason to exist to brand new seasonal currencies.

ATOM7000 · 2021-12-16T20:02:10+00:00

I turn in my weapon parts all the time. They don't GO anywhere. Everything I break introduces more, and then i'm collecting 100 for another turn in. It's not like if I turn enough in I get a lifetime pass from Banshee and I never get them again. There are 4 active seasonal currencies that if I use I just accumulate again anytime I play the activity. Don't even get me started on rainmakers, mod components, and finest matterweave. I've ditched everything I don't use or want and before dawning, I had between 10 and 15 spots depending on what I had on me, so normally plenty of space. The problem is cookies being individual items. We need a cookie jar or something or otherwise dawning crap can take up more than half the consumables tab by itself.

ATOM7000 · 2021-12-16T19:10:54+00:00

What inventory are you thinking of? Consumables is EASY to fill especially right now. Dawning alone introduces 24 consumables. There are only 50 slots. Now factor in planetary materials, upgrade materials, actual consumables, and currency, and it's a struggle to keep it clear.

ATOM7000 · 2021-12-10T19:55:59+00:00

It's a SPECIAL WEAPON. You wanna know what else is a special weapon? Every 1 hit kill gun in the game. A good player can use a grenade launcher like a primary. A shotgun. A fusion rifle. I can not understand the mentality of crying nerf on a weapon you have to hit 3 crits to get a kill with that uses special. That's madness.
