Just finished the last cell. Reward says, completed 15/20... but I finished all 20 cells? So I'm stuck at milestone 16? Do they expect us to run it more than once? Or do they just expect us to buy like an offer to unlock the rest? I don't find this particular game play enjoyable, and I hate that it is time-gated... so.. why force us to run it twice if that's the case? Or... is it just broken like everything else they do?

EDIT: I ran it on hard.. apparently you need full clear on omega.

I have OpenJDK25 installed. Tried running java -jar filename.jar but it says java: command not found.

More of a PSA. I set it to auto launch at 4:30 PM.. It did not. I set it to launch at 4:45 PM, it did not, ditto for 5PM. Had to manual. Just another day at Scopely.

Trying to sim spotlight is now giving random gray 3 errors and forcing restarts.

Also on Spotlight I've completed 5 nodes and I'm still 60/60 on energy.

Annihilation raid energy, despite having a distinctly different icon from trepidation raids, apparently now also use trepidation raid energy...

I could have sworn this was going to be like the annihilation raid where you could select the difficulty on each node? Is that not the case? Am I expected to try and choose a difficulty for an alliance who has a pretty fair mix of new players and old players? Or am I just reading this wrong and the "normal" setting allows you to adjust node difficulty (despite the description not mentioning that at all?)

EDIT: The diff setting is the floor. The nodes are individually adjustable, but only down to the floor.

Also, wow, what a mess. Don't expect to just click sim and sail through, even if your team is the team that's required and vastly exceed the recommendations... several insta wipes so far. *Excellent* well tuned design, clearly play tested by a human /sarcasm.

I've tried all the major store brands in the midwest, and several online including the Amazon brand. Nothing really has salt on them anymore. It's like each cracker has 3 salt crystals on it if you're lucky, and everything tastes like card board. What the heck happened to Zesta? They used to be flaky and salty and now I think the box would taste better. Any suggestions?

The same goes for nuts, I've tried all the major brands for cashews and they may as well be raw nuts.

All I buy currently is phantom rider shards and the L3 training mats, at each store refresh, and I don't core the stores (cores are an entirely different but similar issue). That's it. Honestly, nothing else in there worth buying and the rotation of the last few toons I need that are in the store come up so infrequently that they may as well not be in there at all. Yet somehow, I just continue to watch my shop credits go down every day. Great job "fixing" the economy there $copely. We're almost entirely dependent on codes and events to generate what is supposed to be the standard currency.

I've tried kobold, it's janky and seems to suffer from dementia. I put in some key ideas and instead of writing several paragraphs like Perchance, I get a more organized version of what I just wrote.. Maybe I've still just not found the right model to use... I'm open to suggestions.

I've also tried Errata, which appears cleaner and and easier to use the kobold, but it doesn't.... write. I put in all the details to create a world and characters, and it writes a one or two paragraph summary instead of assisting me with writing a story. It's been a frustrating experience.

Any other suggestions? Again if I'm just not using the above correctly, I'm completely open to accepting help. I'm almost assuredly just screwing something up.

The perchance one, ai-story-generator, seems to work pretty well recently, it does better not forgetting details and it's fairly easy to go back and edit when there is a mistake.

Just curious since a lot of the people that were making them aren't anymore. Or do you all just trust the $copely pre-built squad screen and Jarvis these days?

Blizz has issues with their implementation of DX12, and it impacts both AMD and Nvidia users. The only solution currently is to go into the game options and change it from "auto" to DX11. Blizzard has been unable to fix whatever problem is they're having and Nvidia is supposed to be attempting to implement a fix in one of their upcoming drivers.

Is it better to run it on lower difficulty to get more kills for more frags, or is it better to run it on higher difficulty? We ran it on 4 first shot since it was new just to see and it was pretty easy, but with Scopes destroying their game participation wasn't as good as it has been (only about 75% of our alliance even challenged the boss.). We got 4200 frags.

71 guardian, just started playing again after about a year off. Finished the previous 4 chapters with no trouble.. now stuck here completely. Arcann is the forced mission companion, he has no heals. I died to the first trash mobs in seconds. Re-spawned... Arcann is now gone but his tool bar remains, so I have no companions. I have exited and restarted but still no Arcann and I can't summon any other companion. I can't even clear the trash without heals. How exactly am I supposed to escape?

*SOLVED* I had to exit to my stronghold, then restart the mission... and then Theron was available to summon.

I'm sure a lot of these questions have probably been answered before, but I'm either not finding it or what I have found is pretty out of date. I'm strongly considering moving on a retirement V.

I'm not SS age yet, and probably won't be before I move. Assume ~$2500/month from stock dividends. Can I keep my US portfolio, or are the taxes so crazy I'd have to liquidate and invest in some EU stocks?

I'd like to purchase a small house, 1 maybe two bedrooms, does not need to be fancy just affordable. I'm fine with wood for heat. Is AC a thing or are the temps mild enough just fans are comfortable? Small town, rural type area, but with access to get to one of the major cities or beach areas via mass transit - I don't want to own a car, don't mind taking a bus or a train, is this feasible. Definitely must have high speed internet. Is water quality good.. safe to drink?

Any idea on living expenses? What would a house payment cost, insurance, water, electric and internet? Just looking for ballpark amounts for planning.

I have very few things I'd want to bring, PC and books mostly. Any good shipping services that won't destroy my stuff and are affordable?

How hard is to do all of this by myself, do I need an attorney?
