When I log in I check the Helltides site to see if a boss will spawn while I'm on. If so, I'll keep an eye on the timer. If not, oh well.

The duality of man

I usually leave the timers up on a secondary monitor while I'm playing, but I don't schedule my play time around it. I find it to be more convenient than the notifications (that I sometimes miss) or hunting for things on the map.

I did at first, but then I realized you only get a reward for it once a week per boss, and the drops from the boss itself are usually not better than doing a quick nightmare dungeon or tree of whispers.

If it’s up when I log in, or soon, I’ll do it, otherwise I don’t give it any thought.

Some of you have actually beaten these things? When I show up it's a bunch of level 16s all 1-shot dying and rezzing each other in a chain.

I don’t, there’s enough for me to do in the game outside of these events and I’m actively trying to resist my tendency to optimise for numbers over enjoyment.

I used a similar tool for Destiny 2 a couple of months back and it definitely contributed to feeling like playing was a chore.

I've never bothered tracking it because I don't want the game to dictate when I play the game.

If I was invested in this season, I might have to look up a timer to get the season journey done.

Same as above. I only did early on when I was looking for loot and didn't have time to be on. Jumping on for 5 minutes was much easier

I did for awhile because there’s nothing else to do in the game
