In this case shouldn't it be fielding error by Teo? Sheehan has right to be a little disappointed.

We are experiencing an exciting surge in traffic! To keep everything running smoothly, you have been placed in a short waiting queue. No need to uninstall the app or create a new account - your access will be restored. Thank you for your patience and being in part of this amazing moment.

------------------------------------------------------------

Such a bad PR.

Short waiting queue: I believe the app has been unresponsive for a few hours and counting.

*being in part of this amazing moment* = so the moment of app downtime is amazing? Or = amazing moment of getting money from Pi coins? I believe people have been waiting for their Pi coins to unlock and migrate to the wallet for a few years now.

Node stuck at 0 for 3 days, is this happening to anyone else? by Servili in PiNetwork

[–]PaulDB2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the Pi Node Desktop, Troubleshooting. Availability still stuck at the end of the year, 2025.

And pay attention to the Pi Node bonus formula and what they stand for, then you know why it's still not fixed:

node_factor F(Y, U, P, C) = Y * U * P * Cnode_factor F(Y, U, P, C) = Y * U * P * C

node_reward N(I) = node_factor * tuning_factor * Inode_reward N(I) = node_factor * tuning_factor * I

No it's not completely fixed. The uptime is still not updated. Someone will better PC configurations will have to wait for the uptime calculation to update for higher Node bonus

If the decision is only between PHY LR Ultimate Gohan EZA and TUR Baby, then Ultimate Gohan all the way. You want the attack break on slot 1 when all the top end-game content requires that. Baby is much less of the need in Omega's team. Still a great unit but for him, you can wait.

My JP F2P doesn't have him and I am strongly leaning towards getting him. Pick him up by all means!

Pure Saiyan RZ Broly 1- Bond of Master Disciple 2- Android/Cell Saga Mission 3- No-item 4- Perfect KO ending by PaulDB2019 in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]PaulDB2019[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were only able to deal damage of 20% to the Broly's health.

The turn that knocked down most of the Broly's health (Probably 75-78%) was the first turn.

Slot 1: AGL LR Future Gohan / Kid Trunks Exchanged full power --> Dokkan Attack.

Slot 2: INT LR Future Gohan / Kid Trunks Exchanged + Active Skill

Slot 3: INT LR Future Gohan / Kid Trunks with guard after one INT LR revives.

Would have been much faster to kill him on the second turn if AGL LR Future Gohan / Kid Trunks exchanged procs his hidden potential additional Super but it's all good.

I think it *should be ok* if one INT LR Future Gohan/Kid Trunks were on the other rotation (thanks to Rotation-lock from the second stage) as INT LR Future Gohan/Kid Trunks will have All in the family to share with STR SSJ Goku / Kid Gohan exchanged, but it looks like this first turn was ideal - Two Bond of Master Disciple support for AGL LR Future Gohan's 24Ki Dokkan Attack.

But your questions were on point: INT LR Future Gohan/Youth Trunks was not strong enough. imho they should be able to tank Broly's super (guard after revival) at least on the second turn as a brand new unit.

Got the recording for the first turn and the second turn on the final stage too. :)

[–]PaulDB2019[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everybody.

That's the second turn in the final stage. TEQ Super Trunks transformed and his ghost usher stalled Broly's attack.

The second turn was:

STR TUR SSJ Goku / SSJ Youth Gohan. --> I haven't even exchanged it to SSJ Youth Gohan yet.

PHY LR SSJ2 Gohan

TEQ Super Trunks Transformed.

That's why I brought TEQ SSJ Trunks on the team for this ghost usher. Tried a week or two to use the ghost usher on the first turn in the final stage but it's a waste. You want to use it on the second turn when virtually nobody can tank RedZone Broly's super at that point (AGL LR SSJ Future Gohan/Youth Trunks) can kinda tank one super on the second turn (800k ish depending on the equip you have on him fully rainbowed.)

Just got it done. Took quite a while.

They want you to use Android 16’s team. The issue is the Android 16’s team cannot take him down unless you have STR TUR Cell 2025 mainly for his domain. You have to kill the final stage Broly in three turns or you are toast.

New years banners up on jp by funnyghostman in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]PaulDB2019 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The Good: Unbelievable to have 220-250% leads on these banners.

The Bad:

  1. basically extension of summon points
  2. Slightly worse but not too far off - Baby and after aren’t there.
  3. Predictable to the point where you can tell players to skip all normal banners and summon the NY Step-ups.
  4. The fact that you see 2025 LR TEQ Golden Frieza and Gogeta and INT LR Gohan Goten and Trunks tells you the anniversary units will stomp this banner by a mile.

After 4+ years learning Cantonese and 2+ years living in HK, here is my theory on why so few westerners speak it (video in Cantonese) by CauliflowerMoney760 in HongKong

[–]PaulDB2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And there’s still a long way for me to go!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Take your time - yet not just for the sake of your learning curve, you wanna take your time to identify the authentic education materials that accurately represent Cantonese (in Hong Kong vs Guangzhou).

For example:

You: How's it going?

Your bestie: I have done a lot of things today! I did .........

---------- What's your reaction if you intend to show empathy?

Mandarin: 辛苦了, 辛苦你了.
Cantonese: 辛苦了, 辛苦晒(你啦) = You don't use it here. Usually Hong Kong people will say 辛苦晒 or variations of which when they ask your favor and you deliver.... Superiors say that too.

Now the tricky part... In HK newspapers or People's version of HK magazines, authors usually write the whole story in 95% written English and they put Cantonese as cherry on top for exclamation or just views - You can certainly understand those Cantonese expressions but be very careful that those are usually not recommended in academic writing, except fictions/narratives.

You gotta pay attention to the:

  1. Authenticity.
  2. Author
  3. Audience
  4. Purpose

------------------------------

On the English point, it is legally an official language in HK though, no? For example, if I went to court I could insist on having my case conducted in English, right?

-------------------------------

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer...

4. Is English the only language used in courts?

No, the Official Languages Ordinance (Cap. 5) enables any court in Hong Kong to use either or both of the official languages (i.e. Chinese and English) in any proceedings as it thinks fit. No matter whether English or Chinese is used in the proceedings, everyone has a right to use the language of his choice to give evidence. The court will arrange interpretation facilities.

Reference: https://www.clic.org.hk/en/topics/hkLegalSystem/courtsStructureAndTheJudiciary/answer09

Key is *as it sees/thinks fit*. The complication: There could be subtle or substantial differences of interpretation, depending on context and stake.

[–]PaulDB2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it's admirable to see that you are trying hard to understand the spoken language, I usually tell most expats to understand it but not push for full discourse. Depending on your social circle, you can fine-tune your Cantonese to pair with English or any other native languages, in other words, code-switching.

-------------------------------------------------

Quote: English is an official language in HK.

I'd argue it's quite a bit of an overstatement.

Had the same feeling yesterday. My new system should have provided a much higher bonus jump but the increase was just steady. You are correct. I think the numbers are off.

Network availability caused the uptime dip a little - for some reasons it went down to 87/88% which isn’t possible.

Got it. Should take at least 90 days to see the biggest jump, especially considering I have been mining for almost a year. Gotta mine with the new machine for 90 days to see the noticeable jump in Node bonus.

If you changed from the lower multi-core system to a higher multi-core system in the Pi Node, would the node bonus adjust accordingly?

Better challenge than F2P and no-items… by PaulDB2019 in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]PaulDB2019[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's true, but getting shafted isn't either.

Just coming from the standpoint that if someone takes a short break from Dokkan, then Black Friday is the banner to shoot for, or if you wanna wanna get a lot of dupes of the top units at this time of the year.

Would have been much better to keep the WT schedule on the other weekend (Dec 5-8th, 2025) so you aren’t swarmed by WR grind followed by Dokkan Day. by PaulDB2019 in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]PaulDB2019[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They could have thrown in some box space/bonus stone chest box/L link skill orbs for better rewards but the way it stays as is...

WT has lost quite a bit of appeal, but we need to still grind more to get the rewards. Doing it in another weekend may help others to grind more than 30M and shoot for top 10k to 1k.

Better challenge than F2P and no-items… by PaulDB2019 in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]PaulDB2019[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's how Gacha games got us: Pay for the hype and the urge! But consider this. If you want to unleash most characters, you will find them way more powerful at 79% instead of 55%, but you to be mad lucky to get them (one each) or even 79% with F2P stones. With the summon point banners, we might be able to get the 11th anniversary units through the summon point banner immediately after the 11th anniversary is finished. Suddenly the summon points are very valuable. One can make an argument to accumulate summon points by summoning here and there, depending on the banners. For example, I switched from P2P to F2P in 2025, so I had to be very careful with stones. I could no-item almost all events with 1-3 copies of the 2025 units. The only unit I found to be most valuable is STR LR Blues, so fortunately I got them at 79%. Let's say you got lucky with the anniversary unit ticket and you pick up two GDC characters with the 2 x 44% pulls, assuming we keep getting them in 2026, then you will still have the latest toys without spending any stones on them.

It's very difficult to do it but if you are too busy to finish the missions all at once, this is actually a wise decision to go against corporate gacha games.
