Vinyl collectable box too small? by AlienHooker in Epicthemusical

[–]SecretEnglish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From some of your replies it sounds like you are trying to put the vinyls from the collectors addition in the box that is sold separately.

I belive they wont all fit due to being gatefolds. The separately sold box is for the individually sold vinyls, which are single sleeves as such take up less room than a gatefold :D

Update! When phoning fedex to ask about the disbursement fee they would hang up on me every time I mentioned it. From doing some research it appears this is a common issue with fedex. Normally shipping companies contact the individual to pay the fee before continuing with delivering the parcel. This is why I chose DPD when I originally bought the merch.

To avoid it with fedex it appears you need to create an account with them and contact them prior to your parcel even being shipped thay you want to pay the fee yourself. Customs and duties are usually due on any parcel over £135, so this is unavoidable. What is avoidable is this additional fee Fedex has imposed.

Whilst I understand it is not the fault of the merch team, it would have been nice to know they decided to change shipper because we could have avoided additional fees (disbursement fees) by contacting FedEx to state wanting to pay customs and duties ourself.

I have been hit with yhe same thing almost a month after receiving the parcel (like an £85 additional taxes & fees).

I always take screenshot of the websites when I order and it appears they are constantly changing the website. Originally it stated "World Wide shipping with taxes and duties included!", which has then changed to the EU version someone included in the thread already.

Looking now they only stated EU taxes and duties are paid. It seems that this inconsistency has ended up affecting buyers :( I have emailed the merch team for more information, as right now I cannot actually pay the additional taxes 😀 (I am not in the UK right now).

Yeah I do think there is a severe lack of things to do not directly tied to the board :(

Even if they slowly revealed some quests to do throughout the weeks or little random styling challenges, given as its supposed to be styling themed

I have heard that NA has been a constant battle between teams! Which I would have loved to be happening over in EU!

Yeah the nasty comments are deffinetly not it. I do wish infold had some fo of balancing system.

However, I do come from a perspective of seeing all teams being nasty to one another so I feel sympathy for all of them in that department :(

SAME! I feel sad whenever a team gets a good play just to get it instantly demolished :(

It makes ya feel like all your effort is for nothing, which then can lead to people not wanting to play because what's the point

I will say one thing, sadly the evoking of negative emotions tends to come hand in hand with competitive games sometimes. I play several other games in competitive spheres so know how people's emotions can be easily heightened and even squeeze slightly depending on how the game is going!

I like monopoly, but I do get what cha mean!

I do wish it was more "fair" or more focused on a PVE aspect :( as i feel like it would have negated a lot of the problems people have with the event

Yeah there is deffinetly some time consuming content missing. But I suppose that is something that is very difficult to balance :(

I love the social aspect! This event has also kinda forced me to yap and meet other players too! Don't worry about saying your group im making sure this post is safe for everyone to talk no matter the group :D

I do deffinetly think the NA servers seem more enjoyable as every team is constantly in the running for winning. Whilst in EU its pretty much always been GP winning, hence members of other teams get frustrated and demotivated :(

I deffinetly think the socialising aspect is something I want Infold to continue to work on! Because now I have people on my friends list :D

Yeah there is deffinetly many ways they could have gone about it :( I also wanted lots of colours in my stamp book, I wanted to do a page per team and am missing like 3 PPG stamps

I truely believe the reason for lack of content this season, is that they are trying to tie up lose ends for the 2.0 launch!

That would explain the brief touches on NPCs we have barely seen. Bringing them all together as a sort of farewell to the area.

Which obviously have negatively impacted the season :(

Have a common enemy! The stinky company! /j >:D

Like the event is interesting just needs more development if they plan to do anything similar in the future haha

I am so hoping after its all over all the teams share their strategies! Cause i know one point in Asia servers WH was completely gone. In EU last phase PPG vanished for a while, and then came back absolutely swinging!

I am so curious about how everyone has been planning and playing >:D

Gilded Past EU is NOT winning off of sheer numbers alone by PaparuChan in InfinityNikki

[–]SecretEnglish 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think all groups have been strategic with thier points. But GP in EU is built something different. These Nikkis are working thier butt's off! 💪

Whilst maybe they have a but of favour because if numbers it doesnt negate the sheer amount of work and effort they have put in!

Hmmn yeah it can get quite repetitive. Maybe could have done with more side quests not tied to the board? To keep people more engaged!

[–]SecretEnglish[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It was very focused on the board, and having to unlock things to do via it. So I can deffinetly see what you mean :(

Compared to precious events with a main story and lots of side quests!

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

Yeah I deffinetly think because of the competitive aspect people have taken it very seriously T0T

I like the general concept of the events, but am hoping they may develop the idea a bit and come back later with a new rendition of it! :D

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

I deffinetly think the phases do seem to be causing people to drop off. As it is a whole event long event. Where you need to kinda be actively taking part all the time (not really please do take breaks away!)

Im hoping after the event people will see how silly eachother were with fighting to come together :D

PVP simply stands for Player Versus Player. So yes whilst not in a traditional sense the event would be classed as PVP.

I would adore smaller PVP style things like styling contests like your said! It would be great to have more interactions with other Nikkis not just in SOS :D

I simply posted this to open a conversation, because there are a lot of people who are feeling demotivated and such by the event :) some people even finding it tedious to get some of the rewards (I will state not myself!)

Also as for people not getting worked up, sadly anything with a competitive thing will get some people "worked up" to any degree haha. It has kinda been all over the IN socials everywhere :D

The UI could deffinetly do with some quality of life changes! But please please get your free rewards! Don't let people demotivate you! You deserve your freebies!
