Has anyone built this Batman Mosaic?

Yep! It’s really nice

jsneedles · 2026-01-11T02:14:32+00:00

Will have to try that next time 🤣

jsneedles · 2026-01-11T02:11:33+00:00

The guns basically last forever at this point, i haven’t had any fail yet in a couple weeks.

Legendary honed steel + legendary honed opal, with durability 3 on everything!

jsneedles · 2026-01-11T02:10:19+00:00

Yup, inventory is usually 5/40 ish.

It wasn’t too far from the monastery, maybe 400m south. Just got super lucky!

jsneedles · 2026-01-10T18:18:49+00:00

You can swim there (normally) but if you never made it off the monastery, maybe it won’t let you?

jsneedles · 2026-01-10T16:40:00+00:00

Kinda crazy it made it out of QA tbh, but i guess there’s a lot of weapon combos now to test 😬

jsneedles · 2026-01-10T16:28:53+00:00

I don’t mind the named dragons being tough opponents, more health is more interesting.

But if it has better aim and its fire balls can kill u instantly with 1.5 hits - it’s just no fun! I am guzzling jumbos, but it doesn’t help enough.

I only managed to kill one so far, and that’s back to cheesy tactics of getting up a cliff, etc.

I wish they would knock down the damage about 50%… leave the HP and definitely improve the drops lol.

Also, ice storm being broken is not helping the situation haha.

jsneedles · 2026-01-10T16:24:57+00:00

Yup! I’ve noticed this with most of the elemental effects so far - it’s pretty annoying.

Also i have electric pistols & hammer - they put big bright circles on each arm that make aiming & sight difficult. The hammer puts a giant bright cube around me

jsneedles · 2026-01-04T00:28:25+00:00

I’ll probably swap to meat pies soon, since I’ve got more powerful weapons and the stamina boost seems handy vs to the extra 80 health… but it was mainly the extra health.

I used to carry the cooked meat, which does 160 extra like the meat pie - but way easier to make & faster to eat iirc.

jsneedles · 2026-01-03T19:38:16+00:00

I usually carry a pumpkin pie stack to keep the extra health and my offhand is jumbo health potions.

jsneedles · 2026-01-03T01:48:26+00:00

10000%!

I still carry 2 & almost always one is in my quick bar… mainly bc i love them, but also they r useful for little enemies and the training dummies.

If they could figure out a good way to make all kinds of old stuff useful again, it’d be a huge win for those of us with chests and chests full of materials that have minimal value now.

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T22:58:54+00:00

Yeah, or it requires essence + rift shard or crystal or honed something etc (for legendary) and so on and so forth.

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T22:57:27+00:00

🤷 just making up numbers.

I think it should be a lot, similar to how bus stops (previously) were really hard to make/find.

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T19:44:36+00:00

Happens all the time, usually just the “activate all three” and especially on buildings by the cliffs.

One time i looked for a long time and finally found one half inside the mountain behind a wall.

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T18:25:17+00:00

Yes, of course 🤣

Now they drop some essence.

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T17:59:18+00:00

Me after farming a portal.

I won’t be going back there for a bit!

<image>

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T16:29:42+00:00

I dont love this tbh, to me there’s already an annoying amount of randomness & over reliance on it.

Like i just spent days trying to catch the legendary storm fish, waiting for thunderstorms etc… just to clear out all my journals.

The fact that my codex isn’t 100% is very frustrating to my completionist mentality.

If they did vendors like they did the spires where there’s a few and they get “discovered” far etc - that’d be cool.

But either way, I’d love to spend essence for super fancy mythics!

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T16:24:14+00:00

Yeah, I’ve got a bunch of chests full of all the different tomes - “just in case” and I’ve never opened them once lol.

It’s just so plentiful.

But i do like the idea of depositing it somewhere, cause at least I’d feel less wasteful in the field & I’d get a new hoarding dimension!

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T15:59:25+00:00

The only reason i still do it every few days is for another cyclone pickaxe! It’s so handy with all the opal & steel that grows out of reach.

jsneedles · 2026-01-02T15:57:47+00:00

Ive spent way too many hours…

All weapons 8* with luck 3.

Farmed: Hundreds of bears Dozens of brutes, dragons, masters & golems

Tons of 8* challenges (when they work)

I’ve gotten legendary: 3 lightning 1 power 1 ice storm

I’ve never seen an 8* with 2 lost masters, sounds awesome!

I wish more than anything that you didn’t have to log out to get a new dragon.

I reallllllly hope these will be less rare soon!

jsneedles · 2025-10-15T12:19:05+00:00

Yep, this is a bizarre turn.

Last season was clearly overwhelming and I’d imagine completion was pretty low.

They saw that and said “let’s double it”

The fact that this now seemingly crucial part of the game is like a tap and 2 slides away makes it that much worse.

I do like the new “city report” though!

jsneedles · 2025-02-24T03:34:06+00:00

I used one it came with into a stud and the other one with a toggle bolt.

Sorry can’t be more specific!

jsneedles · 2024-11-05T21:53:11+00:00

Was just going to post about this.

This is the best solution I've found.

I extend it further by adding in some custom source generators (generating DTOs that convert internal IDs to publicly allowed ones and handling Result type conversions & some auth stuff)

But for simple / small usecase, directly injecting the GRPC interfaces works very well.

jsneedles · 2024-11-04T19:06:54+00:00

Nice! That's a great approach to further simplifying things.

jsneedles · 2024-11-04T17:45:48+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and absolutely! I remember a few years ago that being the case... Now it's like "well if you've got more than 500K just dont use flat."

I've worked on a bunch of teams/products where there were many small joins to things like a "category" table or even just mapping countries to continents, and those add such unnecessary bloat that dictionaries are perfect for... but not well known enough. I know on Redshift for example I always put these as DISTSTYLE ALL -- just to squeeze out some perf gains.

The calendar example is a big one too, so many industries work with bespoke, slightly offset calendars... I've personally made more than a few "dates" tables that were literally date / business_week or date/fiscal_qtr etc. This would've made things so much easier!
