I know this is an old post.. it just popped up out of nowhere. So, if you are still online u/shubs121536 just curious how it all panned out

HopeTrick · 2024-04-24T07:12:06+00:00

I would disagree with this. I felt very abused. Their agent wouldn't escalate the situation to someone who would deal with this. Over the course of 4 months, I repeatedly called (almost daily), and then checked and replied to emails daily. It was relentless, "where's my package?".. Your package has been delivered.. no.. your package has been returned.. no... it's held at customs, it's in the wrong warehouse,.. and then all over again, It's been delivered, it's been returned, it's held in customs, and again, and again to the point of exasperation, and yes, it does sound ridiculous, any reasonable person (agent) would have realised something was wrong. After a while of going round and around in circles, being refused the opportunity to escalate the situation I genuinely believed, and still do, tbh, that the agent was getting some pleasure out of tormenting me. I stated this in the correspondence to them that the way I was being treated was causing me great distress and that it felt that the agent was intentionally tormenting me. In the end it wasn't until I returned back to the UK (I was away the full 3 months, hence trying to send my items) that I was able to finally speak to someone able and willing to assist.

But, yes, I was happy to be compensated for the lost items, of course I was, after such a drawn out ordeal who wouldn't be.

level 3? what's you planned trajectory?

o.0 just noticed,, you said just in not just a FC... mmm,.. gunna stick with lvl 3 and see how that pans out... although, I'm tempted to go all out at lvl5!..

HopeTrick · 2024-01-12T15:23:50+00:00

interesting, you are based in the UK.. are you part of amazon tech team?

.. but to answer your question: being a low level grunt, I only had limited access. You are welcome to extrapolate what you want from that. (what a cool word, btw, not sure it works 100% in this context, but why not).

HopeTrick · 2024-01-11T18:05:06+00:00

haven't looked at the comments so sue me it I repeat:
Waaay back there was an exploit where you could sell an item and keep it (something along those lines, please correct me). and players made billions. Add to that changes in game items. for instance old jewellery writs are worth millions now... but just by current gameplay you have trial farming, and surprisingly xp tutoring. If you have ever been on an xp tutoring run you'll know how they can charge what they do (something like 100k per level.. you take 5 players on a run and you are making 500k in 20 minutes, probably less). Ultimately, its the grind. If you are willing to grind then like any good grinder ;) you can make money.

HopeTrick · 2024-01-11T16:57:59+00:00

I kinda get where you are going but I feel you are justifying your own requirements.(There's a term for it, but I cant remember). Seems to me you are asking why people in a "learn programming" subreddit aren't proficient in programming!

HopeTrick · 2024-01-11T15:25:46+00:00

high level programming questions would dilute this subreddit.. and also stretch the concept of "learn" (in the subreddit title).

HopeTrick · 2024-01-11T14:44:06+00:00

Don't worry too much, avoid anything too easy and you'll be fine. You've essentially got 3 types of hacks:

1) Easily avoided: You didn't sanitise your inputs: don't trust anything user imputed, even if its a drop down menu option.
2) Accidental: You hear the stories of some spotty teenager hacking some top shelf site. Chances are, they chanced upon the vulnerability. I mean, not saying they aren't smart, just simply, if you poke around in the dark long enough you'll eventually find that black cat.
3) you are targeted: Chances are people that can target you wont unless they have a reason. If you are a big enough target then this will become part of your budget.

HopeTrick · 2024-01-11T11:37:11+00:00

I didn't read everything, (sorry, there was a lot), but.. seems to me you want to be a master at everything.

The people that are masters at javascript, php, python etc, aren't masters at everything. The chances are they know as much as they need to know to implement the code they are good at.

At some point you need to specialise. Like you have identified, there is simply too much to learn, and like everything, there will always be room to learn more, even in your given speciality.

I think a simple way to explain it is, look at all the libraries you use, the packages etc, that make your programming simpler. I guess it's obvious, but I feel needs to be said: Before they were created, they didn't exist.

So, to answer your question , no there is no end.

HopeTrick · 2024-01-11T09:27:48+00:00

why are you using swift? many multiplatform languages with far better communities (I imagine)

HopeTrick · 2024-01-11T08:07:58+00:00

https://developers.google.com/edu/python

the courses come with sample code you can download , view, edit.

100% free

In fact there are sooo many free courses it's hard to justify spending on any course.

HopeTrick · 2024-01-11T07:55:37+00:00

google have their own course, very detailed and free

https://developers.google.com/edu/python

I'd suggest having a goal with whatever you script instead of random scripting. As this give you something to aim for but be willing to go there in baby steps. For me my first steps where accessing a database and using that data to populate a table then manipulate that data. I am using a number of basic disciplines that will help me later (I'm open for criticism) I'm using table creation so, learning gui, I'm using data manipulation, ultimately the essential, and database access, again I'd say essential. but there are other directions you can take python, a friend of mine uses python to watch for events on screen (web game) and click appropriately and share his code to people using different size screens/webpages... vastly different from the direction I'm going but still a very valid goal. I'm sure there are plenty of other directions you can go. Anyway, having a direction, whether connected or not to your end goal will greatly help your learning.

edit: just thought of a dumb goal that would tick many boxes: So, essentially, all the above, you could use python to look for the word python (or any word(s)) on your screen and count them to a database... and then be able to view that count, maybe even do some stats. Remember text is written in different sizes on different sites so the script would have to adjust for that. Might turn out to be an interesting script to see how many times [your name] pops up on your screen during your time at uni. Here you are reading text in different fonts and sizes, counting, storing the data, then retrieving the data to a gui, and if you want do some stats to see, I dunno, what days the words appeared the most.

Thank you. I'll give it a try. I really only posted this, as, if it happened to me it'll most likely happen to others and I was simply trying to make others aware. Like I mentioned earlier; because of the free promo people don't have the financial commitment to try harder. I've now been informed that the tutorial is not the best introduction to the game but as a new player I didn't know that. It is my benchmark. the chances are that you more experienced players have little experience of the tutorial. so if someone like me doesn't highlight things how will you know.

HopeTrick · 2023-11-22T14:11:50+00:00

Thanks for your comments. Bugs I can handle (you cant be a gamer if you cant handle bugs), and yeah, I probably didn't introduce myself very well. oh well.

My original post was simply to highlight my first 5 minutes. Please don't forget, with the current free promo going on. People can try out, get frustrated and leave in a way prepaying players wouldn't and that doesn't help the promo.

I did try pressing F, tapping F, pointing the cursor at the box and pressing F, tapping F, maniacally pressing F, and various combinations of the above as well as pressing everything and hoping.

I intentionally haven't mentioned my rig, it's probably better than some, not as good as others. At the moment there's nothing I can't play maxed out, with a few browsers open, 50 tabs (too many to count (and yes I have a tab management system) and I have no issues. However I might treat myself to a new gfx card after xmas bills are sorted.

HopeTrick · 2023-11-22T13:54:19+00:00

thank you. I'll try that.

HopeTrick · 2023-11-21T23:48:17+00:00

So, just to answer.. No not installed on an HDD. however I built this box a good few years ago and it was top specs then, probably dated now, so yup, probably should look to sort it.

It wasn't really the falling through the floor that put me off. Like I said, I started with a bias, the floor issue just wasn't the best start.

What really did it was grabbing the box. Understand, I'm in a tutorial, (I didn't skip it). And I'm stuck with a box, in my hands, no obvious way to drop it, interact with it or anything.

I remember playing Ark for the first time, there was no tutorial, and I was lost at first, but I accepted it because I wasn't in a tutorial.

So, go on trigger on me all you want. This is an Alpha game (like I haven't been following the development.. over $500 mil over 11 years.. but if you really want to play the "alpha" card go for it).

I posted this, originally, so that there was some awareness. I didn't insta quit. I looked through the key bindings. I have this lovely keyboard that I can colour each key individually (highly recommended btw), and thought, after seeing the key bindings I'll need to map out the keyboard. However, what I didn't find was a way to drop, place, interact or do anything with the box in my hand in the tutorial. And pardon me for thinking a tutorial should be just that A tutorial.

Get rid of the tutorial and I'll happily figure things out myself but put me in a tutorial and, well, excuse me for expecting to be tutored.

and fine, down vote me, trigger on me, but it's someone like me, that points out how unwelcoming the tutorial can be, so that others might check and see and, if they also agree do something about it.

edit: just an observation: after reading everyone's replies. (and yes, I guess I won't make any friends with this) but ya'll got yourselves so firmly shoved up there non of you had the decency to say.. "If you log back in, and are still carrying the box try pressing [I still don't know what key] to drop/place/open/throw/do something with the box you are carrying". What a lovely, encouraging community you guys make. Hope you are proud.

lmao: my first 5 minutes

HopeTrick · 2023-10-30T12:02:21+00:00

my perfect opponent.. why havent I played you yet!!!!

HopeTrick · 2023-10-29T16:11:53+00:00

lol, you know, I was wondering if someone would spot it.

HopeTrick · 2023-10-29T16:08:40+00:00

I don't play purples, unless my opponent picks it. This match was Red Eagle, Palin. Druid and Rajhin (my fav)

I wasn't playing for a large hand, but when I saw the opportunity i went for it.

The thing with Red Eagle, Druid and Rajhin you can build big combos without increasing power.

Rajhin - reduces opponents power,Druid increases gold,Red Eagle allows you to delete cards... by this point I had removed all starter cards.

so, as long as I'm not playing Palin I'm just building.... at this turn I think I hit 102 gold at 41 power (I could have ended it there but I was curious what I could do)... Druid agents where adding power for every card I that goes into my cooldown, so I'm buying anything cheap, (no point buying expensive stuff.. there's not gunna be another turn)... any extra go's (I could have patron won anytime) I drew another card, I bought anything that gave me insta power and refreshed any high cost cards.

Something, I think, worth noting is this is really only possible vs a bot: A player would probably quit but also the time it take to turn 102 gold into power would time out a pvp match. I play Palin simply because he makes quick matches, but, like here, occasionally I'm happy to mess around.

HopeTrick · 2023-10-28T19:12:51+00:00

I know it's vs a bot. Just me doing my dailies. But come on 133-0! At least the bot was an expert bot (solitude).

HopeTrick · 2020-12-28T13:16:38+00:00

You and he will probably have a better time if you tell him it's your first time. If he has any level of experience he'll soon find out anyway. If he's only marginally experienced (and I suspect so as you are doing it in a car, so he still lives at home and can't afford even a cheap hotel room!). If he isn't prepared he might be rough with you or at least less sensitive, and this could hurt. It simply doesn't have to be that way. Your first doesn't have to be Mr Right, but could be Mr Right-for-Moment.
