I've been going through the Wep - Moeru stage of the game, and my god getting to the end of these ascensions is taking so long now, I've been extremely tempted to use 8hr timelapses (I have 10k rubies) in order to get through this phase of the game faster. But I currently have an active build, and I'm not sure if it would affect my highest potential HZE per ascension if I switched to hybrid mid way due to lack of abilities and jug combo stacking. I'm almost ready to transcend again, so I feel like I can make that decision.

(HZE 24k, 413 AS)

I think I know the CAUSE of this, my wifi stopped for a bit while I was in the loading transition between the caves going to the surface. And after getting a prompt saying that loading failed, I had to Alt F4 out of the game to do anything as I was stuck on a black screen with my cursor with nothing I could do. After rejoining, I was on the surface with all of my stuff just fine so I continued to play and stayed on the surface for like an hour. I decided to go back down to get possessed shadow atriums and low and behold, my inventory reverted to that of when I crashed. And it does this every single time I go to the caves. The caves and surface still seem to update as seen by the grass and my player position being lined up with the surface after the first time leaving. (Notice how when I went in from the sinkhole I came out of a completely different one which is where my character was at the time of the crash) but my inventory is completely stuck in the caves. This is extremely bad, as it means I cannot take ANYTHING down the caves anymore. Which pretty much softlocks my game. I was planning for this to be my first world where I manage to complete everything up to the most recent update (I had just defeated celestial champion) so I really don't want to lose it.

Extra notes:

-Rolling back does nothing, I haven't tried rolling back all the way before the crash as I don't know if been too many days since the crash.

-None of my client mods aside from maybe Menu Repacked and Too many items Rearranged would influence this I believe.

-I have no idea why my winter day counter is massive, that randomly happened a while ago. Probably a mod causing it.

Server mods:

-Insight

-Colored wormhole marks

-Really more durability

-Don't drop everything

-Combined status

-Simple healthbar DST

-Enhanced eye mask / Shield of terror

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to lose this world, but if I do end up losing it was a good run.

(For context, we had 2 double witch chapters in a row and each time one of our players ate shit)

I finished the show recently and planned to watch the movie on YouTube because it was free when I checked like a week ago, when I checked today it said I had to buy or rent it, did they seriously change it after all these years to specifically screw me over? (I live in America, I know it’s not available in other countries)

I actually don't know the original artist, if I did I would link it

I typically die to ship whenever I’m under a lot of stress

First of all, I'd like to make a sincere apology to my team SS2NDPHASE, as I will not be getting anything past 8000 stars, I love getting rare badges on my profile, but I have a life outside of bloons. My team is actually really good, and I am thankful that they let me in and were hard working, I don't plan to leave, and will still try to pull my weight.

But to my main point, social season is just so... awful...

Genuinely I want to know the thought process behind NK's decisions, because they clearly didn't test this in the slighest.

The goals are mundane and long, It took me around 15 hours to just complete the first phase. They are the same thing, over, and over, and over, and over, it's genuinely one of the most boring things I have done in a video game, and I have played Ark before.

Having cool unlocks behind the social seasons, such as temporary perks, or limited edition badges is the biggest reason why so many people want to do the social season, it is not fun, it is because we want rewards. Which is objectively bad game design.

They essentially made social seasons into a fucking dead end job, nobody WANTS to do that without an award. And you know what's even sadder?

The fact that they chose possibly THE WORST TIME FOR THIS. They chose, the 2 worst possible weeks in the entire god damn year. You want to know why?

FINALS & AP EXAMS ARE THIS MONTH NK, THE MAJORITY OF YOUR PLAYERBASE ARE NOT WORKING ADULTS, THEY ARE STILL IN SCHOOL. YOU KNOW THIS.

I physically cannot spend more time on bloons, not only because it's boring, but because I have to, y'know, take some of the most important tests of my life.

And although I do have more free time than most, I'm not going to spend it playing 8 games of impoppable of literally the same thing, I would rather do ANYTHING else.

I'm just so god damn tired of NK treating us like this, they don't test anything, they just release stuff, hope it's balanced, and when it's inevitably not, they try to add bandage fixes even though the damage is already done.

And it's even worse considering that this isn't HALF OF THE PROBLEM, there is still so much garbage that Social Seasons have that I haven't even talked about like freeloaders, Perks, and impossibly high expectations.

Shout outs to Mrdkobijec69, u/DBreazzy, and u/keikunsama, you 3 are hella dedicated to get those awful objectives, and I have respect for all 3 of you. Special thanks for Keikunsama for being cool on sub and inviting me.
