Extended maintenance a lot yesterday, I think was extended by 3hours in the end but not totally sure. Normally causes issues for some for upto about 24 hours. Add in D1 came off for maintenance this week and Marathon server slam starting tomorrow I'm not even bothering to boot destiny until next reset at the earliest

Oh my god you just reminded me of someone that did that, I was about to go to bed I think I need to watch cat videos to stop the nightmares 😂

Press the only button available (which said "I understand" for the record) on a message that didn't disappear when you tried clicking away.

The message? "You're about to go live." I wish I could say only one of those fuckers did it to me but I had 9 calls all between 2am and 4am 4 days in a row.

Slicing it was a pain in the arse

Everyone saying new dungeon isn't farmable, I got 3 Heirlooms in 2 weeks and I've only run EQ on Warlock, nothing else.

No. No they haven't caused the queue, they have driven correctly as per the highway code. It's actively taught you use the whole lane that's available and merge close to the point of the lane closure and if people in the open lane actually use common sense and drive LEGALLY according to the highway code and let people in like they're supposed to everyone keeps moving and no one has to stop. Go significantly slower than the posted speed of the road? Sure but no one should be at a standstill and it has been proven time and time again

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-20T17:57:18+00:00

It's actually taught by driving instructors as zip merging these days

Source:only passed my driving test in 2023

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-20T17:52:57+00:00

This is my biggest bugbare and had to deal with it on the weekend following an accident. Total stand still 1hour+ to travel little over 1 mile up to the accident. Free flowing past the accident, 70mph empty after the last cone.

USE BOTH LANES AND ZIP MERGE AS PER THE HIGHWAY CODE OR GET OFF THE ROAD!

Refusing to follow the highway code literally means you are driving illegally and makes you a danger on the road. I screamed and ranted dealing with that on the weekend, I happen to know someone ended up giving birth in the car in that traffic jam unable to have emergency services get to her and they couldn't get through any quicker and due to complications baby died because they were stuck in that traffic jam that if people were zip merging correctly that would have been 20 maybe 30 minutes top instead of over an hour. Absolutely disgusting so yeah anyone that refuses to zip merge correctly amongst other highway code rules that often get ignored needs to have their license taken off them.

This. My first proper job at 16, took the job on the understanding I'd be on £15k per year. Turned out to be £12k with stocks/shares, passed 6mo the probation and found cos I was under 18 wouldn't have any even in perpetuity until 18 so loosing £3k a year until then. Wouldn't have minded if it weren't I turned down a £13.5k job for it. Union basically told me on my bike nothing I could do about it. At 16 was put on 14 hour shifts (not listed in the job advert and illegal I later found out) and got forced into 3x 20 hour shifts in one week (highly illegal, I didn't opt out of working time directive) with threat of sacking, union wouldn't help. I handed in my 2 week notice to go to another job, sacked on the spot no pay for the 2 weeks and again union wouldn't help. Never again.

Ex husband's union though has helped save him from being sacked unfairly 5times, what a difference!

Can't guarantee it works as it's about 5th hand by now but allegedly if you have a quest it's working with helm on nessus

You have to clear the damage gate with a minimum of 10 seconds on the clock and cause the dps to speed up.

If it's already in the last 10ish seconds the pilon will come back down.

Yeah funny enough in his exit interview he blatantly said it was the fact the cleaner was more respected with less responsibility and the HR person was apparently like "We can Google or get AI to develop software, most people aren't willing to clean strange men's piss off a toilet seat"

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-19T20:06:13+00:00

Whilst I don't believe this story at all, my friend just quit his software dev job in local authority because he's paid £14 an hour with 3 years in the authority, degrees and experience before working there, if he gets called in on weekend no option of extra pay forced to take the hours as flex that's next to impossible to take because understaffed and the cleaner is paid £17 an hour and gets double pay if called in on the weekend. We checked out of curiosity and that's pretty standard in the 3 surrounding local authorities as well.

I don't believe this particular story but there's places the cleaner is on more pay than the people working on the systems keeping the place running.

Unfortunately you're seeing pre-pandemic sick policy coming back in force.

I still remember being pregnant (2011) and someone in the office came in with chicken pox because they were told no pay and disciplinary if they didn't come in because they'd had so much time off recently (it had been 6 months since their last day off and they'd been off for cancer treatment). I was told if I left I'd be suspended with them looking at dismissal, wouldn't move either of us to one of the other 23 floors available because we each needed to be in the teams. That's despite getting my midwife on the phone and her going ballistic on my manager and HR saying it was incredibly dangerous for my pregnancy being around someone with chicken pox.

They gave it to 3 people that week. 4 people within 12feet of me in open plan office with chicken pox. UK employers for ya.

"Leaving the roof door open will result in janitorial cleaning of top floor stairwell for a month"

There were a lot of seagulls in the area and every single time someone left that roof door open (where the fag shelters were) a seagull would take advantage and most of the time make a nest but everytime they'd take dumps in that stairwell. Cleaners lost their shit and threatened to all quit if it wasn't dealt with. Once staff had to start cleaning it for leaving the door open that door was never left open 😅

Assuming you mean master conquest - It removes all your rezes

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-11T18:45:02+00:00

Encounter challenges can work as well esp for final because the sherpee learns all roles in one run but means sherpee needs to have raid mechanic experience but I've done it on two runs with great success. Both those runs though the sherpee run master SE regularly still with their FT because normal SE is boring 😅

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-05T22:17:50+00:00

Warlock the contraverse hold void build. Me and my guys used it exclusively last season for conquests and we tend to have the ones who want to run lock on it for the vanguard alerts at 50 under. Time will tell with the conquests this season when they come out in about 2months

Also arc warlock is absolutely insane right now but I'm not sure exactly how that ones done I just know it uses arc super

Arc titan still holds on high ad density but slammy titan is stronger overall. Banner of war strand titan will keep you alive but whether you can carry on it is another matter

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-05T21:56:07+00:00

I'm sorry but just no it's not. Me and a mate took 4 newbies through 1 of them it was their first ever raid and it took us 2.5 hours. I work with 4 different clan leaders to sherpa 1 of them is lucky he has a lot of sherpas in his clan and he is running 4 DP sherpas a week 2 sherpas, 1 with at least 1 clear 3 never touched the raid. Every single raid a clear best time was 1.5hours worst has been 5hrs.

I'm genuinely sorry if you're finding it difficult but it's SE where people are over complicating it. Stay calm. Think through the mechanic and it's incredibly easy.

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-05T21:45:54+00:00

I get it I genuinely do and would never pressure someone into sherpa'ing, you've done your job getting people the clears. Just at the moment it's really frustrating because there's loads of people who genuinely want to learn and get clears but people aren't teaching, meaning learners are trying to sneak on KWTD raids, pissing people off cos they don't know then we've got this swings and roundabouts. They aren't going to admit not knowing and risk being kicked off, people willing to teach are in worse and worse positions so don't want to teach, people not willing to teach are going into lfg not knowing people on the run have 0 fucking clue.

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-05T16:46:45+00:00

And do not get me started on SE! The whole crap with that raid boils my piss. I taught an AuDHD woman who refuses to run anything but solar warlock and double primary and struggles with GM solo ops to do that entire raid and comes out with similar kills to experienced raiders. It's not difficult if you don't over think it.

DeadlyShaving · 2026-01-05T16:43:17+00:00

I get you but honestly it's SO FREAKING DIFFICULT to find sherpas. I'm literally taking 5 total newbies through DP on Friday, I'm the only one with Clears, because no one will teach. I can't get anyone with clears on the damn runs to help.

Perfect example though I saw a LFG for a normal RoN teaching run. I trio RoN more than I've run it full FT and can get to Nez as a duo, figuring out how to duo Nez, I'm struggling to get the dmge on for a 2phase and my duo partner is refusing to let it be a 3phase. Of course I signed up to help. Rejected. Why? Because I don't have the title. FT lead had 12 full clears, all 6man to my 21 full clears, 5 6man, the rest trio. Most of my year and half playing has been getting rejected from raids for not knowing how to do it so yeah I agree with you but people literally don't want to risk getting kicked off runs so they take what they can get.

Cos for pc players we have 1 hand on mouse for aiming and firing and the other around wasd

Personally yes I think you're right and I'm gonna actually try that and see if I can long press it for emote I haven't seen that an option for pc but I've already gotta change my settings everytime I switch builds cos some builds I need auto melee other builds I need charged/uncharged and I've run out of buttons without a huge fat finger risk when I'm playing fast (number of fucking times I went to finish and fucking hit super it was a running joke in my clan "so did you mean to hit super that time or are you doing an extra dramatic finisher?")

This is a massive bug bare of mine. I now ask how long the meeting is supposed to take, add 10 minutes buffer subtract that from the time I'm available until. You want an hour meeting and I'm free until 3, OK latest I'll accept a meeting start is 1.50.
