I made purchases that never arrived. Talked to CS agent who was totally incompetent. They asked me for account information, bank statements and details of purchase, I provided everything. CS agent then oscillated between sending this info to dev to investigate and gaslighting me about my purchase history. Then they proceeded to go silent and eventually closed my ticket. I now still have not received my item and will be requesting charge backs from my bank.

Upon investigation, Be warned, this Chinese Devs have a habit of shady practices in their mobile games. Their game offerings are all idle slops before landing a big IP like JoJo, which they then completely butchered.

I have been playing this game for the past few days, totally new player, and this game has the worst performance out of all the titles I've tried. My phone can play Star Rail and Wuwa max settings no issue. Yet, this game stutters and lags, with frame drops, even on the lowest settings. I cannot figure out what is causing his, except that the game is incredibly poorly optimised. Buttons take a few seconds to register and screen switching has a weird pause every time.

From what I've read, people play on PC. I don't have that choice.
Has anyone figured out a way to fix this on mobile?

I used to work at a Vietnamese restaurant in a busy business area of Vancouver and, on every table, we have a chili oil container meant for every patron to use.

It looks like this

I have noticed that Chinese patrons tend to shove their napkins into this sauce container, often even when the container was still half full, after their meal. Not every Chinese customers do this but whenever it happens, I can always guarantee that the customer is Chinese from their name and is new to the country.

I've read that it's a cultural practice to prevent sauce from spilling, making it easier for cleaning. But I don't see everyone doing this. Actually, it makes cleaning much harder and is quite wasteful of time, napkins, and chili oil. I always have to get a different container and refill it for the next group of patrons. That container is considered contaminated and I empty it and give it to the dishwasher.

So I just wanted to ask if this is a common practice in some parts of China. No ragebait. Just pure curiosity.

So I received an email about an instant offer for a 70/hr project a couple of days ago. Haven't accepted it yet because I've been hearing about people getting off boarded randomly so wasn't sure if it was worth my time. Then yesterday, I received another instant offer, I'm guessing of the same project, and shortly after a phone call from with caller ID saying 'California'.

I picked up and on the other end was sth that sounded like a bot, named Kelly, asking if I have received the offer email and reminding me to accept it. So I accepted the project and am working on onboarding for it.

The weird thing is that this is my 2nd project with Mercor and I haven't experienced anything like this before. So does Mercor usually contact you by phone to ask you to accept a contract offer?

It seems that after the next gen update, Ursine armor was heavily nerfed in its resistances. Now the total number is barely above Griffin armor. I would think that Ursine has higher armor value than Griffin to compensate, but turns out it's the same at 240.

On the other hand, The Griffin armor 6 pc set has an effect that gives you an extra 20% dmg reduction when standing inside Yrden, ON TOP of giving a massive boost to Sign intensity and stamina regen and Yrden range buff. So if you go Mutated skin + Protective Coating + Griffin 6 pc you can now achieve a base of 45+15+20= 80% dmg reduction. Add decoction on top and you're literally the new ursine before nerf. I've tried this and it really is THAT tanky. Even against Toussaint human knights in DM, I'm being hit for like 15-20% of my health per hit with upscaling BEFORE decoction.

Ursine 6 pc effect is more offensive oriented for Quen, and the 3 pc effect refreshing Quen shield is rng, and Griffin already does it better with its ability to double cast at no cost and extra stamina regen and boost to sign intensity. So you're refreshing it way more reliably on top of getting stronger Quen. It's just better practically in every way.

So the question is, is there something I'm missing and there's a hidden dmg reduction value for Ursine, or is Griffin perhaps the best armor set rn, even for tank build?

Damn multiplayer really is unplayable or me ever since the new patch and the new West Coast server. What was supposed to alleviate the latency issue somehow made it way worse. My ping has never been this high consistently before. Today, I'm averaging 150 ms with 500 ms spikes. This affects even solo mode since skill cooldown, attack speed, hit registration, all tie to ping. So I'm micro rubber banding and micro freezing constantly, with input delay.

4 months since the games launch and I'm yet to be able to enjoy Perception forest, or PvP, or raids with a lag free session. I'm tired and at this point I think I might just give up on this game. No hate. Just quiet resignation that maybe these issues will never be resolved.
