I've been making my battlesprite, collecting and hoarding rarities and have become a T2 knight again, utilizing my jelly token gear to take down T2 content.
Now that 5* gear is unheatable, what have you guys been doing with your time in game?

Repeating the same levels, pounding my keyboard because of the constant Greavers in UndeadArenas, and feeding my pet. Hope I can get rid of my Ultamite Evo sometime soon.

Not playing the game
My gameplay has halved by at least 75%, maybe more. I was going to spend 20$ on energy but when OOO is doing bullcrap like this, why should I?

Kind of hard to play the game when I don't have proper access to a computer.
But when I am on, I Craft all the Armor/Weapons I want while I await the (hopeful)Radiant Fix or get on my Alts & Craft their items, then roam the Clockworks with a different playstyle(who knew Guns were so fun?).

Nothing, really. Feeding my
Long story time:
Nothing, really. Feeding my Sprite (Now Level 76. Dear God, this thing is going to bankrupt me more than I already am). Got a few new 5* weapons since the drought started, and I very rarely use them, if at all. Really only made them because I already had the recipes and I wanted them for aesthetic purposes (looking at you, Dark Briar Barrage, for which I have yet to faithfully use anywhere except spamming the arena to stunlock Greaver's to death).
Otherwise: Lockdown. That's about all there is left to do since I don't want to use the same stuff over and over and over yet I can't heat anything else to properly use it. Haven't done a Vana run in forever. Mostly just stick to RJP and the occasional Danger Mission. But again, Lockdown. Since I already have my Lockdown gear heated, there's not much going against it. Even though I hate the PvP, it's been quite fun.

Heating my 5* gear.
If I had any that needed heating, that is.
Other than that, stocking up orbs for the gun update, and shining crystals for when/if they finally fix it.

#12
nothing specially, helping newbies with their mission, and well since i cant have fun trying new weapons and heating them to lvl 10 because the lack of fire radiant i cant have fun with new weapons and way to change my gameplay so kinda, really annoying in that sense. but right now im gathering advance orbs and elite orbs for the "new thing" that its coming this winter. sadly... due the lack of radiants... i guess i wouldnt have fun with "these" stuff coming for winter.

I've been doing stuff I thought I'd never do.
What's this? More shining's burning for the steel of my Ascended Calibur? This weak 4* will never grow!
In other words, I've not been making any recent 5* items. Which really sucks because that Leviathan Blade looks cool. But anyways, I have a list of things I thought I would never have done but thanks to the radiant drought, I am doing them anyways because it's my only remaining option.
Join a guild and pay taxes: Check
Become a Skolver/Vog furry for 0.1% of the time: Check
Put away my Ironmight Plate to wear nonstop Recon Ranger uniform: Check
Cry about not getting an Obsidian Carbine: Check
Cry about not owning a DA or GF: No check. (Suda is good enough for me)
Become a Lockdown addict: No check
Consider becoming a Lockdown addict: Check
Become a Blast Network addict: No check
Consider becoming a Blast Network addict: Check
Equiping a hallow furry suit and running around Haven yelling what does the fox say: Never check. (God I hope so anyways)
Well, other than this I'm running through a bunch of IMF runs to gather money and Bark Mods to sell Pulsars to strangers. I've also reached level 90 with my maskeraith and still making quick progress. If anything good came from this it would be that.

Meh.
Hunting for an Advanced or Elite orbs...
Saving CR...

Doing LD(sometimes BN) every now and then just so then I'd have Coins for Winterfest...
Stocking up on 5* mats (my sprite ate them all)...
And of course...Crying about my poor 5* items...

Lockdown. Right now I have 500 Krogmo coins, before two weeks I bought a Bombhead mask+the recipes for Triglav... If the 5* crystals ever come back...
Sometimes I do T3 Arcade runs and I send the crowns to my 2* alt so I can make it a Defender (Elite).
Just wasting my time -___-

I obtained all the 5* stuff I could ever want last year. Any 5* stuff I've gained after that have been purely... what's the word I'm looking for?
I dunno. I don't need anything more than all the 5* bombs and all the 5* bomb-related gear, at any rate. I suppose that's why this drought hasn't bothered me in the least. I still have more radiants than I have shinings, and only two pieces of 4* gear awaiting an upgrade 'cause it's going to become Arcane Salamander.
I've been getting all the 3* bombs. and earning crowns to roll UVs on my 5* bombs. I've got CTR low on my Crystal, Dark Matter and Shocking Salt bombs at this point, and my Sun Shards have fiend medium, putting them at fiend max even without any external damage bonus. I've got CTR high on my DBB, CTR med on my Dark Retribution, CTR low on three of my haze bombs, and fiend Very High on my VT, which I still have no idea what to think about. Most of those have been lucky first-time roll, but none of it has been rolled more than three times.

I've been helping a friend become a vanguard
But now they're on the five-star hall of heroes, and are soon to be affected by the lack of radiants themselves. I'd love to run more shadow lairs (I just did one with a rather nice party. Whimsy! You were supposed to be there!) but I lack a guild and friends that are online when I want to do one. I've been running a lot of tier 3 arcades too, and trying to get a depth 28 danger room.
Other than that, I haven't really been doing much. I'll stare at the auction house for a while trying to think of something fun to do. I'll fantasize about accessories that I'd like, but can't seem to find on the auction house(Either that or my penny pincher self just doesn't want to pay the price they have).

my 2 cents
Build an iron farm and blaze xp grinder in Minecraft. Helped my friend build spleef arena and wi-fi redstone circuit for rebuilding the arena after each round (survival server, not really wi-fi but setblock command)
Started playing Path of Exile, 80 hours in, A3 Merciless with 1st char, rerolling and took a break at same time
Installed Starcraft II again to class myself and get wrecked by AI (yes I'm that bad at RTS) from time to time
Intend to play TF2 new update to get 1 australium item (whatever it is called) when I get some time (Monday probably)
Worked for past 2 days as a retailer and my brain feel like jello -_- and will work again today and tomorow *sigh*
Edit: I have 2 old friends that will never come back until the new UI is gone... and I talk to them on Steam about the new update each time there is one... I don't make a post on the forum to say bye to them... nor a post to make them come back, it's silly and juvenile

Not playing enough to keep up a weapon slot, so just saving for future crafting of a Chaos Cloak... mostly playing Minecraft PVP.
@Shamanala: I'll have to check out that TF2 update, I haven't played it in months. And BTW, I tried Starcraft and I think it's just a poor copy of the Age of Empires/Galactic Battlegrounds series of games.

Energy
Well I've not actually got -any- 5 star gear yet. So the drought has actually affected me more than most.
Why? Because now I don't want to upgrade stuff to 5* because I don't have a single radiant to my name. I can't get lots of credits to buy radiants until I can solidly grind Vana, but I can't get to Vana *mission* until I upgrade stuff to 5* and making it less powerful inthe process. GG.
Reason I want the mission is because I don't do well at tier 3 clockworks. Those new behaviors over T2 are still getting me.
So I've been thinking a lot about what I should make 4* next. Thinking but not doing. Because the recent supply depot sales have just nuked energy prices sky high and I don't really feel like doing that now.
I'm also waiting on a new computer. With my current 8 year old desktop most games run at sub-20 frames for me. when that gets here I'll probably be joining The-Vindicar in that lovely game with an even better community than we have here [/sarcasm]
So yeah, I've just been joining parties, having fun with guildmates and dying from the anxiety of one day having to throw away my beautiful 4* gear jsut to do a stupid hall of heroes (If they're such heroes why aren't they down in the CW beating Vanaduke themselves)
If anyone gets bored throw me a /tell and I'll just run in with whatever gear I have on me. Which is usually a vortex/shard bomb and khorovod.

Lvl 1 5* armors and shields for the most parts are still better than their lvl 10 4*. So go ahead and upgrade. For the one weapon that you need, make a status/support bomb, a good choice is the Shivermist Buster that'll also be useful in your future Vana runs.

A lvl 10 Freezing Atomizer is better than a lvl 1-4 Shivermist Buster.

Grinding them arcade runs...
I have a lvl 100 non-maxed Drakon and I'm trying to get some crowns to get one of the other pets to level up. I'll just feed it 2-3* mats (I somehow endured last ~20 levels with purely 3* mats). I wasn't really planning to do any 5* crafting, well maybe working on getting Radiant Silvermail or something.
Honestly, I felt like there was nothing much to do even before the radiants shortage. When ya got 45k prestige, lvl 100 drakon, Twinmillions, MSI +4, What else do ya want?....
