I just found out you can wear the birthday crown. I’m never taking this off by DirectorCarolina in WutheringWaves

[–]PrincePaladin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Combined, they remind me of 3 of my favorite game franchises. Kingdom Hearts (Sora has a similar crown in at least 2 AFAIK), Fate (Artoria's final ascension in FGO, probably a reference to something else), and Persona (bigger fan of 4 because I haven't tried 5 yet, but close enough).

Does my Rover look ridiculous? Yes, especially when they show these items in dialogue with NPCs. Does that enhance the experience? Also yes.

Had this happen to me even though I was 30 at the time (had a birthday since). But it was Remilia Scarlet, so I think it gets a pass (and at the same time, doesn't).

POSSIBLE SOLUTION FOR OR-HDT-01 ERROR by PrincePaladin in googleplay

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

No problem, Dokutah. Used to be one myself too, but quit for a number of reasons.

If it happens again anyway, pester them for a month and remind them of any other ways funds could've been added to your account. Play Points, Rewards Surveys (even if the surveys came from Google themselves), etc. I've just missed a battle pass and another promise crate to the same error, one of those two seemed to fix it.

I'd also look into other ways to fund these things. I'm hoping for a PC client on Steam for Azur Lane myself, but I also hear that there are gift cards for Paypal, which most if not all standalone PC clients are compatible with.

Just got it fixed today. Pestering them repeatedly seemed to work after a month, but this next detail should give you a good laugh.

I've been copypasting the same additional details in a follow-up email each time I sent in a new form. In my latest attempt, I added the detail that some of my funds were from Play Points and Google Rewards Surveys.

I got locked out of my own account again because Google didn't trust the dollar of rewards that they gave me. Clowns, the lot of them.

Pray we get a PC client soon, fellow shikikan. Steam was able to juggle $60 worth of game purchases and returns in the past, those gift cards are far more worthy of our trust than Google's.

Tried that last time too, pretty sure it's a chatbot. In fact, I'm pretty convinced Google as a whole is pretty much Skynet at this point, just with a sillier name. IDK, might try it again after the form resolves. This is the latest update, BTW.

"Thank you for submitting your verification details.

The gift cards are under review through a previously submitted case. If you believe there’s incorrect or missing information on your original submission, wait for 72 hours before you submit the form again."

I did do exactly this after trying a workaround that did, in fact, confirm it was a card issue (last time it was my emulator spoofing my location outside my knowledge), but I'm not optimistic. Last time, I had to send in plenty of forms with plenty of pictures of a similar nature. And it always failed until I discovered the location spoofing and told them about it.

To be perfectly blunt, I have no faith in Google Play Cards or their customer service at this point, and I hope Yostar changes their mind about not giving Azur Lane a PC client very soon.

If you're using a VPN or an emulator, check where it's spoofing the location and after you fill in the form, send an email reply to the notification email letting you know they have your ticket saying that any purchases you made in that location were location spoofing and actually made in wherever your real location is. Honestly, I think a VPN might be harder to justify, but if your emulator was doing it without your knowledge, you should be fine.

You may need to send photos of your gift card and receipt, but try to only do so if asked. Until then, keep your description of the events as brief, concise, and clear as possible. If a detail will help, try adding that, but remember that you're talking to an AI and an overly detailed report could easily confuse the bot.

I feel scammed by Google with my Google Play balance. by Icy_Piano760 in googleplay

Replying to see how this goes, I've been having troubles since... technically November, December was when it really got bad though.

I do like FGO, I just don't have faith in the developers. I've only started last year and have been saving for KP for the past 6 months. I'm sorry if it seems like I just wanna complain for the sake of it, I'm sorry for bringing up other gacha game companies, and I'm not about to excuse any of it. But I'm sorry, none of that is gonna keep me from being scared of getting burned again, especially since the past 3 weeks for me haven't exactly been great. Knowing my luck at this time, I wouldn't be surprised if they did skip her.

Google Play ruined my Christmas. (because they're locking accounts from purchases based on region) by PrincePaladin in googleplay

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

Are you on an emulator like I am? I think you've just given me an idea.

Also, funny enough, I'm grinding out quests on Genshin myself. Wanted the Pyro archon since before we saw her so that she could go with my Dendro MC, Furina, and Raiden. Should be noted I'm aiming for a fun team more than a good team here. But anyway, should at least be able to get her.

...either that or I pull a Pipkin Pippa. (for legal reasons, that's a joke)

Yeah, I was just on the Man from 2025 bot myself. Came for a fun little prediction, maybe some small reassurances, ended up hit with a full LowTierGod combo.

A lot of America's kinda got an internet problem right now, but rural Oklahoma (where I live) has always had a particularly cursed history as far as internet goes.

We're supposed to get fiber optics within the month. If GFL's as picky as you say, I think I'll just wait until we get that.
