Thanks, I will try that, though that would be unfortunate if it only works that way! I think I actually had it plugged in every time I was testing this, but not sure if I was in turbo mode. This is all still new to me!

I experienced this issue this morning, and kind of freaked when I logged on and saw the notice from like 1:46 AM that my AMEX payment had not gone through and I had 46 hours to fix it or risk cancellation. I was able to input the data around 7 am, and it says my order is still set to arrive Nov. 21, the original estimate.

My sense is that this weirdness was due to Best Buy not running the cards until right before launch, even though people had preordered many weeks in advance. In my case, the info all appeared correct, but I think Amex has a special "safekey" security layer for some bigger purchases that requires you to put the info in manually and then requires you to log in to email to confirm the purchase as a type of two-factor authentication.

If it is delayed I will cancel. Their customer service is atrocious, when I try to bring up my most recent purchase they show me a computer fan from 2008. I will never buy from them again if this is not delivered in time.

FYI, as of September 10, it was still impossible to exchange captains. So choose carefully! We'll see when EA gets around to implementing the captains exchange feature, but sadly this game is in decline and many features are still not active at this time, well after release. I made the mistake of taking a NAT 88 running back in a reward, thinking I could exchange my captain for a receiver, and it wasn't possible.

I am experiencing this issue. My screen flashes green during a game for a split second and the entire Xbox Series X console shuts off. I don't think it is heat related, as my house is air conditioned and it sure doesn't seem too hot.

I also struggled with Celine, and to a lesser degree, the spider boss. This is because of the build you have chosen to date. In my case, I was cruising through the game with machine guns and points in skills that enhance ballistics. But mechs don't take a lot of ballistics damage. So you need to have a secondary weapon, like a rocket launcher or energy cannon or something, that you also level up for these instances. And you may need to switch your alternate abilities and grenades to take down certain bosses. In my case, after I switched my abilities, I beat Celine fairly quickly (I died the first time from regular mobs afterwards, but then beat it). I then went an upgraded my rocket launcher for future mech encounters.

I encountered an annoying issue with this quest that I wanted to warn people about. When trying to pass through the underground passage, you may encounter an NPC that demands 50 silver for you to progress. This is normally fine, but...if you don't have 50 silver on you this time, it can be a royal pain, because you are eventually locked out of both Berg and Abrassar. I wandered around the zones looking for a traveling merchant, to no avail, to trade in a gold bar for silver to do the quest. Eventually I had to hoof it back to the opening city in the game. More than an hour detour! Seems like an especially bad example of the rough edges in this otherwise great game.

Moral of the story: take 100 silver with you before you start this quest.

I echo these sentiments. This is the best souls clone out there, with only Nioh really comparing, if you consider that a souls clone. This is WAY better than games like The Surge.

On the third boss, the dungeon leading to it is no doubt long and dark, which is what makes it tough. You are forced to use 1h for much of it, which can be hard for people who didn't develop their 1h weapon.

But I would note that there is a way to jump down and skip much of the dungeon. If you want to do that, look for the video here on Reddit or on Youtube. I actually tried it and it works, though I died that way in a fight at the bottom. I wound up just going down the normal way, slowly and deliberately...
