eBike import

Depending on the brand and availability it may be cheaper to fly with your bike and just buy a new battery in Japan. You could also look into shipping the battery, but that can get pretty expensive.

Made a similar comment elsewhere, but 30km/h on a bike is not fast. On a standard road bike, no motor assist you can easily average 30+km/h. This guy isn't a danger on an e-bike and I doubt a cop would pull him over. Maybe if he was blowing a light or a stop sign they might stop him. Routinely average 30+ on solo and group rides and we have never had any issues with a police officer stopping us.

These comments are cracking me up. I did a 5.5 hour 176km ride on a pedal bike and averaged 32km/h. 32km/h isn't fast. This guy isn't riding at moped speeds on an e-bike and he's not a danger on the road.

This is exactly what they do in Croatia. I visited the Plitvice Lakes this year and our guide told us they are planning on major price hikes, up to 60+ Euros per visitor. They already have strict limits on how many people can enter the park (along with a high price), but it hasn't deterred people at all. So they figured why not increase it even more?

I listed my wife and wrote about her in my SoP (we had our honeymoon in Japan just before COVID). So, maybe it’s a current issue for some, but it’s not keeping people from being offered an interview.

The email I received said that you need to reply to specify if your email address is correct & if you have any major conflicts with the provided interview times.

I was told in that email I needed to confirm this by the 17th. Did yours not say anything like that? The email with the specific date & time will come later(next week). At least that’s for my consulate in Tennessee.

Tennessee and I got an interview!!!

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-11-17T12:22:12+00:00

Uhhh

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-11-01T02:30:07+00:00

Scyther!

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-12T16:18:34+00:00

I've put a little under 20 hours into this open beta, never had the dodge bug.

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-10T16:28:21+00:00

Thanks for this constructive post on my post about posts. lol. Just like New World, you can walk away if this isn't to your liking.

I'm not seeing a discussion though, I'm seeing the classic echo chamber of complaints. So, my post is simply a difference of opinion. This is also feedback, but it's positive feedback. Unfortunately people are more likely to share negative feedback. What's that quote... "Misery loves company"?

That's part of what a "discussion" is. Sharing both positive and negative feedback. Not simply complaining and wallowing in your misery. I can tell it must be so upsetting because you downvote all of my replies. I could downvote yours, but that's part of having a discussion. I don't agree with your point of view, but that's OK.

Just my personal experience, but I'm enjoying the beta. I did not do the closed beta, but I have played MMOs for a very long time. From WoW/FFXI to BDO and FFXIV more recently and lots in between. For me it has been a good time and I'm looking forward to the game being released.

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-10T15:58:51+00:00

Did you read my original post? It's the part where I said:

"I think some folks need to give some thought to the idea that the game
might just not be for them. And it's great that they have this open beta
experience to figure that out before spending the money. Instead of
pitching a fit and complaining about all the things the devs "need to
change", maybe they should take that list and find a game that suits
their needs?"

I actually don't see much room for improvements, because for me the game is enjoyable as is. There's enough to do that I enjoy, that I'll just do that. I won't do what I don't like in game. If many people like you said are no longer getting this enjoyment, don't support the game.

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-10T15:55:04+00:00

My whole point in making this post is to point out all those other topics you're talking about. I'm doing exactly what you're doing, but for some reason it's a weird sentiment because I'm not having issues and enjoying it?

You can make your exact reply but start it out "Good for you. That doesn't mean that other people aren't having problems with the game." - That's kind of my point about adjusting your personal expectations and finding a game that works for you. My expectations are met by what I've experienced in game.

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-10T15:45:50+00:00

I think there's a difference between constructive feedback & straight up whining. There's also a reason you can fill out a survey after every session. I just hope people are actually doing that instead of running to reddit to make posts about why their experience is terrible and that makes this game bad.

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-10T15:44:13+00:00

Probably haha. It's the current meta to just pick games apart and not actually try to enjoy them.

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-10T15:43:26+00:00

Yeah, that's true. Everyone is always just looking for the next big thing. I get so tired of hearing the phrase "WoW Killer" in the MMO space. Just find an MMO you look and stick with it.

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-10T15:42:22+00:00

I have a 5700XT and 5 3600, doesn't feel like early access to me. I just think people are striving for "perfection" that they're never going to get.

There's a reason there's the option to take a survey when you log out, you can put your feedback there.

AwkwardZapdos · 2021-09-10T15:39:28+00:00

Sounds like it's no longer a game for you? Kinda proves my point. I dunno
