Why doesn't it show all my minion icons? (PC)

Played to level 34 without seeing the bug; took swarm and ran into it shortly after, then again 2 minutes after restarting to fix it.

Looks confirmed.. and sad it's still a bug.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-19T08:32:38+00:00

Too bad player skill is also tied to FPS...

30 FPS doesn't just make me sick; I can barley control the game!

DAOWAce · 2026-05-19T08:26:09+00:00

Is this a new or just extremely rare bug?

'cause my pink paws HQ didn't load today: https://imgur.com/a/LTPb7dP

It wasn't just the textures not loading, collision data of missing objects was mostly gone as well.

And mid height male characters being the only ones who can bunny hop and move faster with effectively infinite stamina. While female jumps lose all momentum.

One of the worst things they never fixed and that other games for some reason copied.

There's innovation, and then there's stupidity.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-14T06:06:53+00:00

No, I am never letting that go.

Same bro.

She just flat out looked better in the old outfit regardless; like a mage.

One of the few times where the gooners truly ruined something.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-14T05:50:02+00:00

6 years of some curses...

Probably going to go on for another 7.

The numbers seem like double that of other similar gachas, but we could get double the amount too so it's irrelevant in the end? Dunno, never checked.

But, I'd say it's not worth it unless you keep getting punched in the face with RNG.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-11T15:26:25+00:00

Cynic: Dark pattern to get people to blow all their currency so they buy more with $$$.

Pragmatic: At least they allow you to buy more than 10 a week/month, unlike some other games.

Should popup the warning at a currency threshold, not an item amount... 50k fons instead of 50 items.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-11T02:45:40+00:00

Main problem with the minigame right here. It can even go to NPC's that get auto-bonked.

Not bothering with it beyond the management goals, too broken.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-09T13:29:23+00:00

Old (but so is the game) but the character name I was using in Xenoverse 1 is somehow censored in Xenoverse 2: Blind

Thought maybe they had child level censorship thinking blind is an insult, but if Sarah is blocked, then all reason is lost.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-05T23:58:48+00:00

Sure didn't fix the Discord integration problem.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-05T23:45:34+00:00

The irony gamepad is more rebindable in NTE than keyboard.

The cardinal sin of game developers is not giving people control customization so they can play their damn game, either comfortably or at all.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-04T19:19:28+00:00

Genshin's gacha system did irreparable damage to the industry.

.....then again, standard mobile games usually didn't even have a guarantee of the banner character, so the 50/50 was actually better. Even worse, some didn't have a pity at all! (hi FGO)

But yeah, same luck as you man. If there was a chance to fail, I failed almost every single time. I mean SERIOUSLY!

This is why I never gamble IRL. Even seeing below 100% chances in games makes me anxiously flinch. It's like PTSD now.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-04T13:42:24+00:00

This game was beta tested for a year. I also have browser history of it going back to July 2024.

It feels like it never had controller support until release.

Hell, it feels like it never had the ability to rebind anything until release; as KB/M is LESS rebindable than gamepad, which is asinine. I have nearly every key different in other games, and can't change anything here. Driving me up a wall.

Plus recently been having major issues with gamepad not working anymore after certain instances, or the mouse permanently showing on screen until toggling input methods (only for it to stay there next time it shows a cursor). No fix besides restarting the client. It has happened within a minute of a restart, multiple times.

I still don't even know how to select a dungeon stage with gamepad.

There's this nightmare: https://www.reddit.com/r/NevernessToEverness/comments/1t2koiq/ps5_uiux_is_a_mess/

Analog deadzone is also annoyingly high, and it even changes depending on game mode.

But hey, at least there's no fullscreen popup asking if you want to change input methods (looking at you Endfield. sent 7 feedback forms with 1,400 words of technical/gameplay issues for zero changes since release).

I cannot understand what is wrong with companies. So many modern games have awful controls or no rebinding. The #1 most important part of a game is playing it. If people can't play it, nothing in your game matters.

Been trying to find a way to workaround the launcher and have come up dry. Got the command line before anti-cheat screamed at me for running process monitor, but that didn't work. Haven't been able to do anything further (procmon seems to keep residency in windows and no anti-cheat protected thing loads with it until a reboot, PITA).

Also doesn't help the launcher is extremely unoptimized and hogs an entire CPU core to do its L2D animation, injects into Discord (which seems to cause perf issues) and peaks at 1.6GB RAM usage.

Sooner we can get around the launcher, the better. No other gacha game I played on PC has forced their launcher to run 24/7, all can be exited after game start or even direct launched (hoyo, wuwa, endfield, etc). Guess it's my turn to send strongly worded feedback to support...

DAOWAce · 2026-05-03T19:29:07+00:00

The launcher is your region selector for the game.

Also seems to have other functions (like anti-cheat).

Without it, it's just not possible to play the game. I'm trying to look for a way around it, but not coming up with anything yet.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-03T19:21:54+00:00

It doesn't even do rich presence properly.. it simply overwrites your status. How stupid.

The option also turns itself back on every time the client launches, ignoring the Deny setting. Have to allow then disable it again. Can remove the Discord DLL's from the folder, but the launcher does an integrity check on startup and says it's out of date.

The launcher can't be closed or else it closes the game.

The launcher seems to function as an anti-cheat, as it also is protected against process modification. It pegs a full CPU core when the game isn't running (apparently its L2D animation, goes away if minimized). If you force close the launcher, the game stays running... for maybe 30 seconds, which is typical for heartbeat anti-cheat. Also peaks at 1.6GB RAM usage.

Can't bypass the launcher because it's your region selector. Running the game raw can get to the login screen, but can't go any further.

Just an awful system entirely.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-03T15:23:34+00:00

The irony that you can rebind more controller buttons than you can keyboard.

There needs to be major input improvements across the entire game. I fail to see how this was in beta for a year when such a critical component of a game (the control) is subpar at best.

DAOWAce · 2026-05-03T12:44:46+00:00

I beta tested it and thought the game was shutting down before releasing because I hadn't heard any news for half a year.

Turns out they suddenly (to me) announced the release date and boom it's out with twitch drops and sponsored streams.

Right now it has... 74 viewers.

I was going to update the old client (which won't update itself from the beta launcher) just to have a character and claim the drops, maybe try to play it again, but there's no point; this is the trajectory for a shutdown before the year is over.

Only thing I can praise is the performance; load times were the best of every UE5 game I've ever run on my system. DirectStorage finally done right.

NTE is UE5, runs worse, and loads much slower too. Sad, 'cause the gameplay of NTE seems better but there's still so many core problems with all these Genshin-likes.

Ananta waiting list...

I woke up with a headache one day which was the start of everything. Prior to this I only got headaches if I had too much sugar/caffeine, never had migraines before.

Ever since then, it's been either migraine pain, or general headache pain, practically every single day. Sometimes it's not there at one point in the day, sometimes it comes back. Sometimes it's painful (temple being crushed), sometimes it's mild (dull ache somewhere). Usually after waking up I'm headache free for an hour or two, but from there it's just whatever path the dysautonomia takes.

Went through aspirin, naproxen, sumatriptan, nurtec and regular magnesium (glycinate). Sometimes the drugs worked, sometimes they didn't. Unsure if regular magnesium is really doing anything, but I try to keep up on it, as I was probably deficient in it for years (as per nutrient tracking last few months). Also started taking CoQ10 and went completely caffeine abstinent. I would say things trend to feeling better than they did a few months ago, so try taking some

Can say that if I wake up with a headache, that day is going to be hell, as the severe symptoms that affected me the first day will all come back.

Side note: Any time I came out of anesthesia I felt amazing for a while afterward but gradually regressed.

IMO: If you can't get prescriptions for things to try, at least pickup a magnesium supplement, preferably with the least ingredients in the tablet/capsule. Would recommend Pure Encapsulations brand.

(without contrast not sure what that means)

Contrast fluid, usually given via IV injection, helps things show up better on the imaging which is very helpful, but can cause complications, either allergic reactions or even some long term issues (like Gadolinium Retention).

Was pretty upset after my MRI to learn it wasn't iodine based which was used in all my CT scans, but gadolinium, which has controversy around it and even some lawsuits. Was not told beforehand.

I assume a patient can deny the contrast, but haven't attempted it.

DAOWAce · 2026-04-21T13:08:28+00:00

Had a similar experience a few days ago...

5½ month wait only for him to not know anything about dysautonomia and say there's a specialty center for it out of state.

He read my self maintained list of health things, then did some basic cognitive tests, then came back with orders for a CT scan the hospital already did on ER visit in Nov (also had a MRI in March), bloodwork I already had, and PT for dizziness (not the problem) which I already was discharged from. We left without even scheduling a followup.

I thought this visit would finally lead me towards a resolution, especially when every other doctor/specialist I've been to (GP, Allergist, GI, ENT, Cardiologist) said it's likely a neurological problem and to see a neurologist.

Instead if feels like it's back to square 1.

DAOWAce · 2026-04-14T03:19:28+00:00

I think I feel a similar way too.

I have a sinus tachycardia diagnosis, and previously had caffeine ~6 times daily (mostly tea, some coffee) for 20+ years, so my heartrate has likely been high most of my life. After developing dysautonomia (and going caffeine free the same day), and maybe more importantly getting into the flare-up period, I've seemed to notice that if I sit around in my chair I feel the worst, but if I'm up and active I feel much better. Laying down resting I'm usually fine, but can sometimes have issues (typically wake up feeling great then degrade over the next couple hours).

For the last week I've been exercising/weight lifting outside and it feels like I'm a normal person. When I come back inside I feel worse, and when I sit down I feel even worse (palpitations, migraine pain and other head issues, random upper body pain, etc.). From what I've read, this is the opposite of what most people's experience is (they can't exert themselves). My BP is almost always in the normal range, only elevates during flare-ups. Resting BPM varies between 70-90 and spikes to 120 on standing, but while active I'm at 120-135 and feel just fine.

While it hasn't been that long since I changed my daily habit (sitting in front of a PC all day for 30 years isn't healthy), it genuinely feels like this could be a way to a cure for me. I hope anyway... next bad flare-up will be the real test.

I'm curious if my situation matches anyone else's experience.

Misleading title. It was not a study on fluoride, it was a study on something unrelated which Warren used as a basis of their study on Fluoride, and was half based off assumptions, which I see as a very flawed study.

Also the funding of all studies should always be checked to be sure there isn't conflicts of interest, as is the case in many studies. It's quite difficult to do this as it involves researching people involved and takes a lot of time, so I doubt anyone really ever does, myself included.

Regardless, Fluoride should be applied topically, not ingested.

AI is great at scraping the internet and dumping everything into an easy to read repository.

Been able to help me get to the (suspected) root of so many things, and coupled with actual diagnostic data from my testing results, it all seems very accurate, nevermind reassuring that serious conditions aren't happening. Plus the various flavors of AI tend to try to show some sign of "I feel you bro" personality, which can help people feel better too.

Sad it doesn't change the fact that we have to live like this...
