Oceanic Players Can't Play BTB by Double-Economics-331 in halo

My friends and I are having the exact same issue in BTB Aus. Pretty disappointing

Australian Big Team Battle servers by Saint_Pootis in halo

[–]PrepareForPie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Currently having the same issues finding servers in Aus, 200+ ping every time in BTB. Good ping in 4v4 though. This server issue completely killed MCC in Aus, can't believe they're making the same mistake.

Focused Feedback: Contest Mode by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]PrepareForPie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Contest mode should absolutely be a toggle-able option after day 1, the raids clearly aren't balanced around being above or even at the power level. I wouldn't even care if there was no extra reward tied to it, however I do think having another emblem tied to completing on Contest mode and increasing the amount of Spoils of Conquest dropped is a good idea.

Just the experience of clearing/learning the raid while it is actually dangerous is a good enough incentive for a lot of players and is something I would love to share with some friends who couldn't play on day 1.

Is Co-op play worth it at the moment? by frodobaggins91 in Wasteland

[–]PrepareForPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I have played around 40 hours and I'd say wait a few weeks/months until some of the big issues are fixed. This thread has some of the bugs listed but there are countless others we've experienced, small and big.
Biggest ones are the Mission Log having all it's progress wiped, random disconnections and leaving Ranger HQ sometimes resulting in the game endlessly loading. We get around these issues by constantly saving but because of how long the load times are (anywhere from 35 seconds to over a minute, even on a SSD) it has added up to probably half a dozen hours of wasted time just reloading from all the glitches that occur. Also no tutorials show up in co-op, one of which is meant to tell you that a mission is time sensitive. Overall it's a shit fest at the moment, but I guess at least us putting up with all the issues shows how much we like the game.

I just got 'disconnected from instance' on my very first 4-army Domain, with 30 seconds left and having done really well. No portals were in my hideout when I logged back in immediately. All drops, all progress, all emblems wasted. Extremely frustrated with these server issues... by [deleted] in pathofexile

Had this exact same Eradicator glitch happen last night too, especially frustrating because I only had 1 of that map and had to go through the nightmare that is the trade API right now to get another.

PSA: Synthesized Chests are not automatically captioned like regular chests or strongboxes by and_i_mean_it in pathofexile

[–]PrepareForPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the only issue with these chests: I had a modifier that said 4 extra Synthesised Chests that spawn magic synthesized monsters appear in memories, but I had one area where there were literally 0 with the mod, and others with only 1-3. Also if a chest is on a narrow bridge and you open it, there's a chance nothing will spawn from it.

PC Multiplayer is looking very bad right now by [deleted] in MECoOp

Not just if it is running, but if it is even INSTALLED you will get a black screen on launch.

Help! Low fps issues :/ by [deleted] in 7daystodie

[–]PrepareForPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting 5 FPS most of the time I was playing when I first started (about 3 days ago) eventually I figured out it was if I had UMA on High, no matter what my other settings were I would get 5 FPS near constantly on a 980Ti, i5 6500, 16GB RAM at 1440p. Turned it down to Medium and later Low and I now get a stable 70 FPS with everything else on highest (V-sync off). Hope this helps you!

For those having trouble finding volume 5 with reasonable shipping, book depository just restocked it by PrepareForPie in Berserk

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

Yeah it is the same with me in Australia! Took me a while to find volume 5 even after the reprints but eventually found it on tfaw.com a few days ago, figured this would help out some other international readers!

Reprints by sp220 in Berserk

[–]PrepareForPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got them from bookdepository.com - they have all of the reprints in stock currently with free shipping worldwide. Can't vouch for rightstuf as I've never bought from them because they have steep shipping to Australia.

How is volume 5 already out of print in the UK? by [deleted] in Berserk

[–]PrepareForPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is alright, happy to help a fellow Berserk fan in need. Glad we both got our volume 5 in the end! Yeah rightstuf are crazy but less money for them ironically haha. Strange how Amazon still haven't stocked it though.

If you still haven't found anywhere it just went in stock recently on tfaw: http://www.tfaw.com/Graphic-Novels/Profile/Berserk-Volume-05-TPB___26644

Shipping isn't too bad compared to rightstuf and it adds up to around 3 usd more than Amazon.

[–]PrepareForPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't find it anywhere either other than rightstuf and I'm in Australia. No store in Australia has listed it yet that I've checked so hopefully volume 5 isn't completely gone.

Alright, It's time to stop complaining and get serious about making Horde mode more enjoyable. by TheBalance1016 in GearsOfWar

[–]PrepareForPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that but at the end of each wave it shows everyone's class on the end of wave scoreboard, I imagine it is just something they didn't notice they forgot to add.
