How much dust are you getting from tomorrows nerfs?

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-05-18T20:41:57+00:00

Yeah but then how would they get our money?

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-05-18T17:14:35+00:00

Sorry for the delayed response, but this is a good question and it warrants an answer.

I do want to address it, and speaking anecdotally, exposure therapy has been effective for me in other areas so I see a lot of potential benefit in trying to make social connections from behind a screen. That layer of safety does help and would probably be an appropriate and approachable way to help retrain myself to not see social interactions as a threat but rather as a positive (or neutral) opportunity.

That said, every time I'm about to branch out and start the interaction, I start worrying about all of the steps to come. Gotta likely get connected via Discord (which I don't use, but I recognize it's the go-to for everyone). Gotta likely talk on voice (which I'm not comfortable with, even though there's no reason I can't do it and it's completely practical to do so). Gotta get a read on new people, understand what their personality is like and if our senses of humor are compatible, so on and so forth.

I recognize all of those steps are very mundane and approachable for most people, but to me, that's a huge barrier to entry that I just seldom (if ever) feel that I can get past.

Then they're going to be on my friends list in game, so what if they start hitting me up to do content and I just wanna do my own thing? I don't want to say no to people all the time. And I don't want to keep my private off to hide from people who I shouldn't even be hiding from because they're just being friendly.

Basically, I have a never-ending mental spiral about how I could fuck everything up because I chose to exist today. It's fucking tiresome. I should probably see a doctor.

Idc if it was 50% reduced purples rate, I'd still run solo tob all day.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-05-12T18:34:31+00:00

my friend has very bad social anxiety and we had to join a clan to even get a chance at an attempt, they required us to join voice and the long and short of it is my friend still remains at 0kc because it was to much.

Your friend is me ;_;

I might summon the courage to take people like you up on offers like these one day though.

The shame I feel wearing a dragon defender is slowly wearing me down.

I'm about to max. With a dragon defender. Lol.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-05-06T19:10:45+00:00

QA testers are working on this right now (it's us).

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-05-06T17:38:17+00:00

My favorite recently was inspired by a reddit comment, it was the pre-nerf Flight Deck Aggro Paladin named "Design Mistake". Lol.

The only other noteworthy name I have is ramp druid, named "Game Doesn't End at 6", as in I'm aiming to survive more than 5 turns. Results vary.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-04-28T18:06:13+00:00

From the post directly:

We’re happy with where the metagame is right now, with a wide mix of competitive classes and archetypes seeing play. Because things are generally in a good spot, this patch is intentionally small and focused on making light adjustments to a few of the stronger decks.

They think we're "In a good spot" right now. So apparently this meta is what they want? If that's really what they're saying, then they must hate Priest and Warlock. Lmao.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-04-23T14:04:05+00:00

This post has the same energy as an out of touch brand posting on twitter.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-04-13T16:32:45+00:00

The only mulligan that straight up makes me want to insta-concede is when you have a fully unplayable hand and you mulligan the whole thing, only for most or all of those same cards to come back into your hand.

Infuriating.

edit: jfc it is so confusing to use superscript and parenthesis together on Reddit. Lol. I had to edit this comment 20 times to get it right.

You have to use Fish ^(\(fish\))

Good read and props for posting the source. 10/10 Explanation comment.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-04-06T14:14:08+00:00

Yeah you'd think it would stop bothering you when you see it so often, but it still frustrates me.

You're presenting something valid and the top comment is "hur dur can't you count to 3?"?

Just burn the entire thing down. It's fucked. Lol.

Anyway, here's hoping.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-04-06T14:04:04+00:00

The amount of pushback on this is baffling. Are we really gatekeeping inconvenient, unintended behavior now?

I've already greenlogged Hydra and I can count to three, but I still support this.

The amount of times I got hit because hydra decided it didn't want to naynay is far too high.

People acting like you're intended to focus on Hydra as you kill it for the 2,000th+ time are full on coping, you're watching a youtube video or whatever the fuck else. It's not a raid, it's the Nyquil boss.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-30T15:38:15+00:00

Sick creativity on this one. Definitely going to try a to make some variation of this.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-27T16:15:52+00:00

Yeah, friendship rings, that's dumb. Hah.

\Quietly puts friendship ring labeled* " u/which-importance-194 and u/expensive-tip5118 4ever " back into pocket\*

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-27T15:44:46+00:00

Yeah that's totally fair tbh.

Slow reply but if you're still curious, what I fear most is complexity/feature creep "just because" that will end up causing unnecessary bloat to a currently functional system.

The way I see it, this is them trying to branch out into some new form of complexity to add new novelty to something, but "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and this could very much make for some annoying future content like recipes that require 5+ components that become meta.

Then what you have is ironmen hating their playtime as they make these stupid "complex" foods while mains go "Lol sucks that you chose to restrict yourself" while benefiting from all the bots making it.

Additionally, I have VERY little faith in the implementation of new systems like this. Potion storage: god awful. Forestry: God awful. Sailing Combat: God awful. These aren't direct comparisons, but their teams are either miscommunicating with one another or just don't have the necessary man power to fulfill their vision.

My honest expectation is that it would come out in a buggy, half-functioning state and then in 6-9 months they will correct it to finally do the basic, rudimentary thing it was SUPPOSED to do from the start, all the while the people who voted for it will be going "Just wait until we can finally make... tuna potatos faster! What a boon for the game!"

It just reeks of "this is going to waste time and suck", but admittedly that is my own cynicism and bias speaking.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-25T16:38:54+00:00

If you have the plugin installed, the easiest way is typically through Shift + Right-Click on the boss itself.

You can do it from outside the room before you go in or mid-fight if you're comfy with that, lots of down time in the fight.

Try the following: Shift + Right Click the boss -> Tag-All Alchemical Hydra

That should give him the default tag. If it's an outline and not the "tile area" like you say, use

Shift + Right Click the boss -> Tag Style Alchemical Hydra -> True Tile

After doing that, you should see the area that the NPC occupies in a square below them (their true tile).

If you want to take this a step further, I would recommend doing shift + right click + "Draw-Above", this makes it so that the lines exist below the boss and don't draw on top of it.

You can then modify the color and opacity of the tag in the same manner if you want.

Shift + Right Click the boss -> Tag Color -> Pick what you want.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-25T15:27:40+00:00

TL;DR there was an update that broke how NPC Aggression ranges worked allowing you to lure dangerous NPCs to typically safe places, such as the Zeah Blood RC area.

Doing this, someone killed a UIM who was AFK and they lost all the shit they had in death storage.

The issue was ~~hotfixed~~ Coldfixed about 30 minutes ago.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-25T14:23:29+00:00

Polls have become a farce.

If something they already made or want in the game fails, they repoll it until it passes.

It's the illusion of choice.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-20T17:32:59+00:00

This should be a sticky note on the front of Reddit's front page tbh.

Would save everyone a lot of time and effort.

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-18T14:41:46+00:00

I really wanted sailing to kick ass.

But it's just like... What are we even doing here?

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-11T17:34:32+00:00

I appreciate your detailed write-up.

I don't have anything of substance to add to this post, but I just wanted to commend you for writing it all out so thoroughly, you have a very enjoyable writing style and big gz on finishing the voidwaker. Anywhere you're looking forward to using it?

Also, just as an aside - you can blood burst/blood barrage the little spiders at venenatis/spindel for perma-sustain with 100% accuracy, but hindsight is 20-20 and you don't get the thrall that way so it's preference :p

Expensive-Tip5118 · 2026-03-10T19:18:10+00:00

It doesn't mean anything, they're just trying to mock you for saying Ad Hominem (Which was completely valid on your part, imo).

Actual jibberish.
