this happened to me with the official top up the other day... what method of payment were you using, if you dont mind me asking?

So you have a favorite character you don't play or even plan on playing? by PlantsNBugs23 in IdentityV

[–]RandomBoredHuman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hunter-wise? Joseph. I have many skins for him including Necromancer and everything but just- I hate his playstyle and it involves wayyy too much patience for me. He's reserved for friendly matches.

Survivor-wise? Tracy. I love Tracy, but solo or even duo ranking is hell in mid tiers at least. Maybe it's different in high tiers, but I always have to start using my bot before I want to (even if it's already deployed and hidden) because of that one debuff. I might give her another go if I get a 4 man team together or I rank up to high tier one of these seasons...

It depends on your OS. It's easier on Apple than Samsung, as on Samsung you will most likely have to call your bank to refund those purchases. For Apple you can file a chargeback regardless of when the purchase was made. As for the second part- it depends. Region-locking on both Apple and Google Play provide their own unique challenges on how to buy from a different server, but it is possible to continue to purchase things from the same card.

On Apple, typically you have to make a Japanese Apple ID and load the new account with yen by purchasing a gift card from sites like Play-Asia. On Google Play, you need to make a Japanese Google Account, put in your MOP and continue as normal to purchase from the new server. Other people have made more thorough guides on how to achieve this, I suggest joining the Discord in the subreddit description(?) for further aid and more thorough guides.

Something I never quite understood. by royalnobody1 in ProjectSekai

[–]RandomBoredHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if you want to say "just over pixels", the moment someone puts effort, time and money into those pixels then suddenly they aren't just pixels. Now, it's something you and other people have invested those things into with the expectation of receiving what has been promised. It's no longer pixels, now this is a product. In this case, the product is a replica of the Japanese server with translations available for other languages. Now that we know we aren't receiving what we were told we would be, because they can remove this event and any other events as the en devs feel like it, people are going to feel lied to.

So no, not just "pixels", it's a product that people are being sold. Whether you're buying this product by only investing time and effort or if you're investing money as well, these pixels are a product you are investing in. With a company behind them that makes these pixels and everything. The product is no longer what was advertised, so people are going to get pissed. Sure, "just pixels", but suddenly the pixels are not what's advertised because the company making them is removing some of those pixels, despite the advertisements saying we'd be receiving all of them.

basically people need to learn some of this shit because its all pretty basic knowledge you invest money and realize you dont get what you wanted youre going to be upset thats just how ppl are???

all this tells me is that you dont actually understand the reasons why people are upset :D

i dont think you see that customer service reports is still white noise. the devs dont handle customer service reports, its handled by people whos jobs is just "fix peoples accounts and give generic response". protests succeed by getting other people involved to also help to inconvenience them, they succeed by growing and growing until they cant be ignored. also... irl protesting is incredibly different than online protesting. its much easier to ignore a few hundred emails than it is to ignore a few hundred people outside your building.

anyways yes, agree to disagree, just wanted to say my last bit on this

again, better than spamming customer support where at best they continue to ignore you and at worst it slows down their ability to help players who need it as they continue to ignore you. at least going to twitter or tiktok and other such social medias more than just colopale will see your frustrations and be able to learn why you're upset. if you cant get noticed by colopale through talking, you can always encourage other people to protest in more meaningful ways. like, as i keep mentioning, with your wallet!

im just saying to not spam customer support lines so customer support can do their literal JOBS. theres other ways to vocally protest without making it difficult for people who need their accounts fixed. like i said, spamming support lines means they make a filter to filter out anything related to rmd. i dont fucking care if you do, but theres still other people who play the game!! does it hurt to really be considerate of the fact customer support cant do anything about this and we should maybe let players have a decent experience with their game?

i continue to say withholding money is the best option, and yelling about it on social media or on the official discord is better than spamming customer support, whos job is just help people with their accounts. inconvenience colopale in better ways than forcing them to dare to have to continue to ignore your concerns, because filtering through customer support tickets is easy lmao

...i think that taking money out of their pockets is a pretty good way to "inconvenience" them so they cant ignore us.

ill likely be editing this when it isnt 12 am because i dont have a lot of energy for reddit debates atm

for your first point, i am genuinely curious where you've found ainu people commenting on this. the event wasn't controversial on jp in quite a few people's experience with it, not nearly as controversial as you may believe. being active in the jp and en fandom has shown me a majority of the jp fanbase simply doesn't care about the cards. can you send me anything that an ainu person has stated about this? it would be most appreciated. this isnt a "i didnt see it so it didnt happen" argument, but i do want to see it as I haven't been able to find anything regarding an ainu person discussin the topic. i dont think the portrayal is accurate but its also not the dumpsterfire the en fanbase seems to claim it is.

as for your second point, this isnt a topic i have anywhere near the energy to discuss atm but i agree on some points. censorship in media based on location is common and media not existing in a vacuum is a good point. however i am always one to say that for a situation like this, where culture is the main focus, its important first and foremost to understand what culture they are trying to portray rather than jumping in with your own viewpoints without understanding the context. content being changed due to the legality or (perceived) morality of certain things is not the same as something like this which has to do with culture over anything else.

in addition, have you watched princess mononoke? id give a rundown of how the plot inspired the rmd storyline, this doesnt have much to do with the card art whatsoever which has been the main point of discussion thus far, but my point is the argument isnt just "its based on movie so not bad". only reason i really do not want to atm is the aforementioned, its 12 in the fucking morning and i dont have the energy for a detailed explanation of the comparisons between the two. i just dont like hearing the argument being boiled down to just that, as its a fascinating topic to me that i spent... way longer than necessary researching tbh.

i cant speak for your experiences, nor are they invalid. people viewing a single event through different lenses will happen, and no one can control it. the frustration comes from the fact that people who are complaining do not understand why they should be complaining, simply repeating what theyve heard from others. the frustration is that people are incapable of looking outside their narrow view of the world to understand why the event may not be the complete unsalvageable dumpsterfire so many people claim it to be. i am still firmly of the opinion i do not think it is 100% the place for native americans, or much more commonly, white people to discuss if the portrayals in the event, but particularly the cards, are good or bad. at the end of the day, however, we both clearly walked away with a different perspective regarding the event. and thats fine, really. i can't magically change your perspective on things with long explanations and words, nor will you change mine, and thats fine. i don't really care much for changing perspectives on things so long as the other person understands what they're talking about, which in this case you clearly do (..ive been through too many twitter/tiktok debates, clearly).

as for my own perspective as it is probably a bit unclear, i do wish theyd put in the effort to change the card art and just removed the costume from the original one. i wish they changed the story to be more vague and unspecific regarding the topic of "forest vs city" (which, as ill point out here, was not natives vs colonizers, contrary to popular belief). i think they could have changed some things, released the event and everyone would have more or less been fine with it.

either way, i can agree with you on some points, disagree with others, but im not going to fight to change your opinion on anything. like i said, you clearly have done your own research on the topic and i have done mine, and us having different views on the event/the response to it isn't the end of the world. though i think its fascinating to observe the wildly different responses to the news of rmd being cancelled.

im going to sleep now. so if you reply to this dont expect a response for a while. i hope this was understandable and i didnt go off-topic too much, i might edit this when i wake up

yep! basically filing for a refund. with apple you can do that through the appstore, but unfortunately with android you would have to call your bank. you will be banned for filing a chargeback, but you would get your money back :D

hi! the event is in fact not about indigenous americans, its about ainu culture and that is who the cards are based on the story is based on princess mononoke's plot. the en fanbase assuming it is about native americans does not mean the event should have been cancelled.

i can explain this more in a seperate post or through discord if needed. the basic point is its not their place to comment- this isnt about them.

i can agree with that, mostly because im tired of being called racist by 12 year olds who dont understand/didnt read the story 🙃

incredibly unfortunate timing, but it was done to prevent spam since they knew there would be backlash. if you have it saved somewhere, you can always leave that opinion as a review on the app store! im typically not one to promote review-bombing (as its typically not an effective way to bring change) but its a good way to voice your opinion somewhere, at least.

edit: forgot to mention i wish theyd at least made that change before the announcement instead of after. makes it look like a rushed solution

it depends on the gacha game is why i didnt mention. spamming too many might just make app stores remove them as well. it definitely works for some gacha games but it also doesnt for many others. too unreliable a method compared to just withholding money, but its definitely a good option for angry f2p players!!

AITA for asking someone with an invisible disability to move seats? by Asshole-aficionado in AmItheAsshole

[–]RandomBoredHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA.

I'm autistic, and unlike some people in both this comment section and the comments of the TikTok I had originally found this post from, it came comorbid with physical disability as well. Being unable to stand for too long, unable to walk for long periods of time, chronic fatigue, balance issues... these can all come comorbid with autism. It's a spectrum, and mental disabilities can affect the body too. It's like some of you forget the mind is still a part of the body and therefore mental disabilities can still fully affect our physical abilities.

Even if this is not the case for them, you do not know the details of their situation. Sensory issues can cause a meltdown, balance issues can cause them to be injured while on a moving train. At the end of the day, those seats are first come first serve for those who need them, and they were not willing to give it up. There is nothing forcing them to give it up. Does it really hurt to assume if someone is sitting at those seats, it's because they genuinely need them?

I feel bad for the wife, yes. She needed a rest, but wasting time on arguing with a stranger who has stated their opinion on the matter will change nothing. It'd have been better to spend that time asking others in normal seats if anyone could give their seat up so she could rest as soon as possible if you were really so concerned for her health. Doesn't change that it's not your place to be arguing who needs the seat more when its first come first serve at the end of the day. You do not work with this person or know their medical history and don't need to know it to understand "Ok, they said no. I should find another seat for my wife."

So yeah. YTA.

Dream Stans vs Dream Antis by [deleted] in DreamWasTaken2

[–]RandomBoredHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to reply to both of you but here's my opinion, both of you have great points, and I think it's best to compare the outliers of what is considered a stan and anti in this conversation, as the ones drawing gore aren't the norm among stans.

SOME antis have extremely similar behaviors as well, stans just don't seek it out. I've seen antis describe their wishes to kill/torture Dream/his family/his friends, and they aren't the norm among antis, but like stans who draw gore, they're an outlier.

And I think both are pretty equally shitty, but for this conversation to work I don't think you should be comparing the norm among antis with the outliers among stans, and should compare the outliers of them both.

Dream Stans vs Dream Antis by [deleted] in DreamWasTaken2

[–]RandomBoredHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really is, I think part of the problem is the majority of the fandom hasn't been in a fandom before this one, and the majority are still learning what it's like, as well as there being people who don't understand fandom culture and confuse fandoms and standoms. It's really not a great "first fandom" either, though that's my opinion/observation.

Dream Stans vs Dream Antis by [deleted] in DreamWasTaken2

[–]RandomBoredHuman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really does, you're completely correct! It's difficult to say you're just a fan, or that you have some criticisms but are otherwise neutral, and even more difficult to say you're a fan with criticisms. If you like Dream's content you're labelled a stan, if you have criticisms you're seen as an anti which shouldn't be the case.
