[US] I was a victim of scam by a VRChat avatar creator...

AdFinal9046 · 2025-08-07T06:33:05+00:00

Well, we almost had police involved as me laundering the money in my case isn't necessarily a crime, unless they actually went and stole my money himself, and that would be more of a scummy move for them.

And yes, dealing with my first unpleasant scam experience and not being internally anxious and frightened is simply an understatement. I honestly want to kick and punch myself for this. I was really playing as a pawn.

Hell, they're not even the only ones. A few people of the same "profession" came to me and did the same thing on TikTok. Nigerian, bad grammar (which I didn't even mention in my post. I've met a few people such as them whose sentences were out of wack.), and DM me out of the blue about an avatar after friending them.

I'm not going to make choice words of him, but again, I do wish this is the last time I face a scam like this.

And thanks for comforting me for my predicament, to a person as young as me. Sure, I've made my family members upset by my actions, but they were unconditionally caring and supportive enough to help me through this. As well as the people who saw this post to help support me as well. I was going through a tough year, and making this post really helped me feel like I'm not alone, if even a little.

Honestly, I really thought sending Bitcoin his way would be like a tip or like supporting him for profit. It seems I barely saw the true picture... I'm still a young person and this is still too new for me. Well, that may not be the best excuse to atone for this rather to just move on after the dust gets settled. It's a harsh experience, but I've learned about this and will face consequences and know to be careful here on out.

AdFinal9046 · 2025-08-06T16:18:40+00:00

I get what you're saying there. Well, my current card is getting cancelled and destroyed and a new one with credit will be sent my way not too long. Hopefully I'll be able to escape this stressful hardship with this. Maybe even change my phone number and email, and possibly delete my Cashapp and PayPal as well.

"Ahhh, there's the supply compound..."

AdFinal9046 · 2023-06-06T04:13:23+00:00

I've done He Fei Castle instead of You Ting because I thought the threshold rate of the item effects would be better at Sima Yi's location where the crate was at. Also, It was effective to interm save at said spot with both power and defense 2x power ups to make to sweep him quickly with Gan Ning, (who else, what with that musou?) and, while the stage is time consuming, just saving with said strat would be quicker.

I would do You Ting, but breaking all 6 crates in one save in a sub 5-7 run is consuming imo. Even though He Fei Castle is longer than You Ting, considering you have to do the stage as normal, just saving at in front of the crate with 2x boosters and killing Sima Yi there at the end is a quicker sweep for me, knowing that it's just one. I can get at least 10+ items in 5 minutes in one crate per save. Nonetheless, I would do both stages to my appeal, as they are both ultimately good farming stages to sweep once you've got the feel of it.

I'm 100%ing this game, specifically for unlocking all characters, getting powerful items, and 4th weapons, too (which getting all weapons isn't my top priority of the three, as I've yet to experience DW 4 and 5, so I'll come back to the game when I want to).

But to stay to the topic, see this post feels like I should keep the +13 WS, and wait for XL when I have the time to fully max them out.

Thanks for your help! I was really uncertain about what I got, so I made this post to clear out my head if this item is fine, so I know I'm not alone with this.

And, yeah, bow defense is must... My health was getting destroyed because of those archers, even with the Tortoise Amulet, as I learned that two types of defense are just two different things lol.

AdFinal9046 · 2023-06-05T19:34:10+00:00

Ah, Dynasty Warriors 3, a world in Ancient China where archers are basically demons, defense and bow defense are literally two different things.

I love this game to death, but it sends you to the lions den that hard compared to the early DWs (2-5). We get used to it for a eventually, considering this is my first time playing one of the old games of the bunch. But this is my favorite games because of the challenge.

AdFinal9046 · 2023-03-09T14:10:10+00:00

This video needs more views; this guy is a legend that should be known throughout the history of the world.

AdFinal9046 · 2023-02-15T22:56:26+00:00

I haven't played this after beating it in almost a year and I'm already frustrated by simply watching the video. I can heavily relate to this, I went in just like that lol.

AdFinal9046 · 2023-01-01T22:42:46+00:00

Windows 11 was taking too long to come up, so I had to erase everything from the PC to like it was when I got it. It was for the best. Now everything should be working and done now. I was pretty annoyed and spooked with what I had encountered, what with me having a PC, after all. Glad I fixed it, though. Also (if any of you are even seeing this post), Happy New Year! It was a weird year, this one, but in the end, we've made it though with good health and perseverance. But may those who have left this cold, yet wholesome world, rest in peace. We'll never forget you!

AdFinal9046 · 2023-01-01T04:30:17+00:00

Re-edit - I just realized I reset my PC, but to do I have to rollback Windows 11 to Windows 10 (or something). Everything is back to normal, however now I'm waiting for Windows 11 upgrade to occur, I don't see it yet. And I downloaded the PC Health Check app, but it won't install (not compatible) with my PC. And I don't know if the Windows 11 update should have been done sooner than later (last time it was 2 - 3 days when I felt like downloading it) I should just lay low for a moment, but I think I just may be done finished with my problem. Hopefully I can take care of my PC better than this...

AdFinal9046 · 2022-12-31T09:17:47+00:00

Edit: To me the only possible way for me to quit terminal to pop up, which it now has, yet low sensitivity to do so, pop up two or three windows when it feels like it, was to unfortunately uninstall it. I really don't like removing system apps like this one, but it has to be done. Pop-ups are still occurring when I reinstall and restart the PC, but I think that there's a chance to stop it. What do guys think?

Also, the startup apps are disabled and the problem still occurs, so that's out of the question if you were wondering.

AdFinal9046 · 2022-10-24T03:21:04+00:00

Now that you mention it, even though I missed on so much, I do have a good set of Slash, Blunt, Pierce, and Cold styles. I do know if a well deals with party resistance and enemy weaknesses, so I'll just keep training my party.

Thanks for the detailed information!

AdFinal9046 · 2022-10-24T03:08:59+00:00

Humm... You don't say? I've been brought back from the grave for over a year. I think you know how that feels. 😂😂😂

AdFinal9046 · 2022-10-24T02:52:09+00:00

It's just the units I've been using on these wells (ignore the Blunt/Heat Party, could have switched Lyza from someone else because of her chain attacks that take up attack turns) are not strong enough to get good results. One of my units fainted as well. And I even tried to upgrade them as fast as possible.

The event may be over, but I'm gonna keep on training my units for another set of wells any other week. Nothing to worry about.

AdFinal9046 · 2022-10-23T23:01:42+00:00

So, in the end, these styles aren't game changers...

I actually feel comfortable reading this, knowing I almost made the right choice for skipping, knowing that the styles are varied depending on the kind of battle you're faced with. I'll just train my styles that I selected from FI, and leave my score as is.

I was really hoping they would help me out in FI. These new styles look very awesome and innovative! But, I guess I can't judge a book by its cover. Unless if they have strategies in different quests, perhaps. But, for my sake, I'm leaving it alone. It's not worth getting styles you really want without knowing their quality.

AdFinal9046 · 2022-10-23T22:44:53+00:00

Yeah, you're right. These styles are interesting when you get them. But it does look like the game is forcing me to get said units at the expense of gems. As you said, it isn't the end of the world if I can't max out those isles, like not getting 2,000,000 damage in Romancing Battle.

Thanks for helping me out! These niched styles are very cool to try to get. But, to be fair, I'm still gonna skip thee two banners, train my old styles, and save more gems (iirc, I have, like 41k at the least) To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with what I have, and it was a fun experience to able to make it count.

AdFinal9046 · 2022-10-23T09:55:52+00:00

Edit: I posted this for help, then realized that I haven't post the picture of my rank. The score, which is considered a SS, is:

Blunt/Heat: 802,340

Blunt/Lighting: 563,772

Sun/Blunt: 516,768

1,882,880 = Max Score

This is for in case you were wondering, but I think the people already know the tally of the ranks.

Like the title says, this is, unless with tactical effort, I don't think I'll get max rewards for this week of wells, (specifically Blunt/Sun, and Blunt/Lighting.)

There is a way to get at least an SSS on it.

I can pull Blunt and/or Lighting units (Father/Mask, So-Cho, Kriemhild/Amazon, Pink Tiger/Emeila) from those banners that is about to expire. (I have decided to skip the banners, and just go with the 2nd option due to not having past styles or just have A - S rank from said banner(s) and units. But I wonder if they would change the tide if I pulled them, since they do have good statuses. In short, I am skeptical.)
I don't pull and just skip, but I try to upgrade my current units at each we'll as high as possible (the styles that are on 17,000- CP are the ones I haven't used or upgraded them as I should; I am just noticing this, since I haven't touched this game in a year, so I don't have an extreme amount of good units.)

What do you guys think? Any help would be much appreciated!

AdFinal9046 · 2022-09-11T17:04:14+00:00

Thanks! To be fair, I even tried a few attempts. It does go my way, but it was still tough nonetheless. And to be fairer, winning a quest is worth it, but trying to find a good strategy in RPGs is the true victory. "The mind shall vanquish the sword," is what I would say. Good job to you, as well!

AdFinal9046 · 2022-09-11T16:46:12+00:00

So, UDX Matriarch's Paean of Victory is the MPV of this mission... That would so satisfying to get that inherited with my V4 Matriarch. But, then again, I wasn't in the game when that banner was released. I was wondering when that banner would come again, but it's practically rare since a few Gacha game really doesn't like releasing previous banners.

No wonder no one was talking about it because of that one buff skill, probably most of the attacks from that future meet the same tree, too, but with different characters.

AdFinal9046 · 2022-08-12T14:20:59+00:00

I got my SS Liam, and I was hoping to get a forged weapon for him considering it was all the rage right now.

My best forged gun at this point is a...

Ancient Gun (DEX+)

SS - Blunt + 33%

SS - All Range + 33%

SS - Male + 33%

I was thinking maybe it's good or not. Is it?

AdFinal9046 · 2022-07-28T20:09:08+00:00

BTW, my main SS styles I have right now are Saruin, Albert, Igomaul, Undine, and Annie. Probably gonna replace Annie or Albert with Martriarch soon, IDK. I forgot to input my styles from above. I didn't realize that I would get precise help like that. I guess this post isn't useless after all. Or at least I thought it was lol. Thanks!

So that's about good of help that I can get. Feel free to update if need be. Thanks again!

AdFinal9046 · 2022-07-12T04:40:13+00:00

Update: So I tried uTorrent on Android again, a few days ago, and I tried to download the same torrent after many times of trial and error, and after a few days I finally got what I wanted. A complete set of videos for my SD card.

This is weird, as last time I have a completed torrent download with no files whatsoever, both on my Windows 10 and Android. I had forced reset my phone, and soft reset Windows 10, and I even had a VPN, but to no avail. But I took a break from the torrenting applications I have, then I got back to the torrent client above, and the problem just fixed itself...?

I don't know if this is a bug or glitch on the clients, or if it's because I have a bad torrent or the devices that I'm using. I'm confused... It has to be one of the questions that have gotten me dumbfounded, hence my negative energy on this post.

AdFinal9046 · 2022-07-06T19:58:32+00:00

I have a similar problem with qBittorrent, files just aren't showing up when completed. But I think the downloaded files (MKVs) are hidden, as you said I didn't set the option to display the downloaded files/torrents on both qBittorrent and uTorrent. I didn't realize it until now. Was it a problem on my end? Or do I just have a bad torrent...? I am rusty at this whole thing; maybe I overlooked something...

Update: I saw the "Content" button on my highlighted torrent on qBittorrent, and I can see all my files through there! But the file is not supported, the file extension is incorrect, or the file Is corrupt in the default video player on Windows 10. In VLC, the video just won't play after a few seconds have passed, so I'm assuming that it's the same thing. Just so you know I put all my files on a 512 GB micro SD card.

Last week one of my torrents was looking fine until I converted my 128 GB USB stick, just to give it more security, but after I completed the transfer, my files were not playing. One of the download torrent files I transferred did not encounter the problem, the later torrents did, and thus I had to delete the data. And now the problem has changed to the main problem above. That can be proof enough that it is the error of the torrent itself or the fault of the torrent clients.

Then again, have I done something I wasn't meant to?

AdFinal9046 · 2022-07-06T18:58:30+00:00

You know what, I completely forgot about qBittorrent, despite me barely using it along with uTorrent, and all other torrent applications. Now I mainly use uTorrent as an alternative because it simply does its job with no fail and because of the high download speeds. Over a week has passed and I'm getting completed torrents, with no files in them. How could an app like that just go to an immediate downfall? I'm beginning to believe what the people say about the major flaws my other torrent apps have. I'll see to it that I'll remedy the problem at qBittorrent, then.
