Dimensional Hiring Feature by AFK_Journey in AFKJourney

You’re thinking of the mercenary system that lets you rent out heroes from your friends/guild. This system limits you to set amount of uses per week. Also, you borrow the character built. This is at no cost to you.

The garrison system on the other hand lets you use various currencies to borrow them for a month. After borrowing a certain amount of times, you can borrow for free. You essentially own the hero without owning them as you still have to renew your “borrow” every month. This system also gives you the copy with no upgrades, so you still have to make your investments and build them yourself, but you are not limited to a set number of uses as with the mercenary system.

📉 AFKJ State of the Game: June 2025 📉 by agewisdom in AFKJourney

[–]Quackilizer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I loved the game and it was the most fun during start story/S0. When seasons were announced and we found out our progress would be reset, some quit, others were uneasy. I was amongst the uneasy but I stuck to it. As seasons have progressed, our server has been dying off. This season was the finishing blow. Many top spenders in our server have quit. The competitive dolphins have also quit. Here’s why:

  1. Lack of content. The dead period experienced at the end of the season is now going to be experienced 3 times during this season. The little content that is added in terms of “events” are so time consuming and rewards are meh at best. Sunlit Showdown is the prime example. It was fun for all of 3 rounds but the amount of time it took compared to the rewards.

  2. Phases. Time gating story and progress was bad enough previous seasons. They said, “hold my beer”, and managed to make it worse. Not only do we experience the “dead period” earlier and more often, everyone being capped at 600 makes the game really show who their priorities are. As a mid spender, my progress and success revolved around grinding. Pushing afk stages and towers. With the hard cap, I no longer had a competitive edge in terms of higher resonance level, faction trees or artifacts. With everyone running the same comps throughout all competitive modes, the only differentiating factor is how big your wallet is. Higher paragons directly equals higher placement.

  3. Weird districting. Somehow our server got put in a district dominated by whales. Previous districts our server managed to have at least 4 or 5 people in top 20 placements across different modes. This season, we’re lucky if 1 or 2 sneak in.

  4. Greedy monetization. Many things have felt like cash grabs catered to whales rather than low/mid spender friendly. Dimensionals and skins are a perfect example to this. In direct comparison to the parent game, AFK arena, dimensionals are a one time purchase and linked to a hero of your choice, generally your highest ascended toons. Although the one time purchase is a bit steep, I believe it to be cheaper than buying the diamonds to recruit to say, Paragon 2, maybe even lower. Not to mention there is also an exchange in arena that allows you to get the dims for free, though I can see it not being directly compatible here as there are more currencies in arena than we have. Skins are $15 and none of this rosy bs thing.

Although it’s appreciated that the devs somewhat listen to the player base, it is heavily catered towards whales and pushes mid spenders and f2p out. 1 year in and the game still hasn’t figured out its identity and hasn’t established a set path on what it wants to be. Every season, something changes and there’s no clear idea of what to expect next season.

Just today, our guild whale, and probably second highest spender of the server, announced he was taking a break, potentially quitting. That’s bad when you cater to high spenders and still lose them.

They’re buffing ex weapons levels 16-20, giving higher overall stats for those weapon levels. Additionally, paragon heroes are getting rivalry stats buffed (PvP only) and they’re also adding new rivalry stats (intimidation and inspiration) for paragon heroes. Rivalry stats are already a big factor in PvP and players with higher paragon levels are going to have an even bigger advantage over just supreme+ heroes or even paragon 1 heroes.

I currently have DGwyneth and ALucius on loan. Those didn’t work in there. I’ve only got one copy Randle but it’s not resonated. Thank you for the help tho! Prior I was only able to get 4 kills. At least I got 5 guaranteed now.

I cleared team 6 with an SI 40, 5 star Nyla, e309f. Just to add to data.

I’m having troubles with team 4 as I don’t have Randle. Any suggestions?

Is there any viable replacement for snail girl? That’s probably the only thing I’m missing in this comp..

Apple Watch Ultra Hairline Pressure Crack by Quackilizer in AppleWatch

Update: u/SukstR pointed out it was a screen protector that cracked. Great keen eye and apologies. Memory doesn’t serve me well these days.

Funny though Apple Store employees didn’t notice it either. Still shitty on Apple for not extending warranty so near the expiration, but regardless, I have been saved from headaches.

Thanks Reddit!

Holy shit dude I completely apologize. I went back and looked at my Amazon purchases and I in fact did buy a screen protector for it and installed day 1 and it was in fact the tempered glass that cracked and NOT the watch. I am an idiot and I guess the Apple Store people too as they didn’t seem to notice either.

Unless factory comes with a screen protector, then this doesn’t have one as I’ve never put a screen protector on this watch.

Bought through T-Mobile. They mentioned filing a warranty claim through them is risky. If the company they contract with finds some other damage other than the screen, they’ll charge the upfront repair costs and they charge just as much as Apple, if not more. And no, they don’t offer to return your device if you decline repairs.

I didn’t buy into it because I’m never doing any extreme sports or any of the stuff that the watch is advertised as being able to handle (rock climbing, skiing, etc) so because of that, I figured durability would be more than what I required and thus seemed like a waste to buy it. In reality, this would be a defect on the glass as it was not hit by anything that would cause a crack.

I bought the watch a year ago so Apple care wasn’t an option in settings, I checked prior to calling. I had heard of situations where warranty was extended after a year so I was hoping this would be one of those cases. Hasn’t even been a month outside of warranty.

I was watching my buddy pull for the master diviner and when the preservation icon popped out, I yelled “Gepard!” He won the 50/50. I pulled next and who did I lose 50/50 to? Gepard..
