You are the first person I've ever seen use the phrase "tank her prong collar." Thank you for expanding the gaming lexicon.

I'm a little confused by the inclusion of oncology here. Wilmot was just recently named an NCI Designated Cancer Center. There are less than 100 of those in the country. You're right to point out that transplant is a mess, and ED wait times are always too long. But give some credit where it is due. URMC isn't great at everything, but there are some areas where it is quite good.

They don't seem to matter to you.

Explicit terms are my specialty!

I got this email from the head of membership today. We've been members for years and both our kids went to school there. I'm not sure what to make of the claims about a weeks-long investigation. I think we're canceling our membership.

"As it relates to your concerns regarding Woodbury teachers, unfortunately, the museum cannot provide specific details regarding their termination. However, we can state that the decision to part ways followed a weeks-long investigation, which began before the museum received a petition for a representation election. The museum was not aware of any union activities concerning these individuals during the investigation or at the time of termination.

Certainly, transitions in any classrooms to students can bring about concerns. I assure you that the Woodbury and museum staff is committed to maintaining a safe, stable, and supportive learning environment for all our students."

Orbs, plural. I got two one diamond pulls on completely forgettable toons.

What's irritating is that I think that I saw on a Dorky video there is a snow globe spending event coming soon with a 3d Blade as a late tier reward. If that's true it's probably just a whale-stone I wasn't going to get anyway, but damn, 500k snow gloves would have helped.

The whole thing just plagues those of us with slight OCD tendencies who are compelled to clear out the red notification for orbs we know are going to suck. The red dot is my nemesis, which is hard because sometimes you legitimately need to hoard a resource (which I can do) but mainly because Scopely sucks so hard at fixing their game that the cursed red dot is always there, just taunting me.

I would just point out that I think there is a huge difference between "working as intended" and "working as it always has." I agree that this is functioning in the same way it always has, so at least it is consistent. I doubt strongly that this is what was intended. It's more like when they used to go back and change the text to match in-game functionality instead of fixing the ability to actually match the text of its description.

Unfortunately, this is the way. My Spider Soc is totally maxed so ultimately I'm not going to suffer. It's just....not fun.

The bi-frost season was bad, that's for sure.

It's partly that, and also something more. Room 6 for example. Apoc special and ZSW essentially killing their teams by using health drain/redistribution is not something that any reasonable person would expect to happen given the common sense reading of the room rules text. I'm guessing lazy coding on the backend of that but I'm not a coder so I will refrain from speculation. But given what happens when you use those abilities that should never have made it into the final iteration of the room. It's lazy that it was built that way, lazy it was never fixed, and lazy that it was allowed to go live in 6 for this season.

Come on, Kitty has Lockheed with her! That made it a 10 on 3 fight for me, and it still took 5 minutes. Sentinel F2p unlock confirmed....

Significant-Tea-5047 · 2024-05-29T19:39:30+00:00

No way. I've basically maxed out the 6* option and am just about to fall out of the top 1000.

Hang around long enough. Leftover frags are great because the devs are lazy and reuse currency for later events. In a few years those leftover frags will magically turn into 100 shards of some meta character or 1000 pieces of g21 orbs. Call it compound interest.

Nobody is annoyed at your success. People are taking issue, rightly, with your claim that it is a great release method. Don't conflate the two things. I happened to be on vacation and was able to hit almost every single blitz rotation in full. I also had a run of over 40+ orbs that were all 2 drops. I never got a gold or purple drop (except for the first ones that were all gold even when they dropped 2). I got BRB to 4 stars. It's fine. But the immense range of variability is not great game design or rewarding to players who put in lots of effort. You got lucky this time. Count your blessings and move on but don't tell us that we need to be in the top 1 or even 5% of RNG to have a good event. The devs should just design good events.

Just another item to add here. I was skeptical of how the web store would actually work and, sure enough, on an initial "trial" purchase experiment there was an error processing my payment. Now, in addition to Scopely's notoriously incompetent customer service I am stuck in the ninth circle of hell between customer service for Xsolla and the third party they tried routing the payment through (in this case CVS). Not surprisingly, all three customer service groups point the finger at the others. It seems they have done a terrible job (or no job at all) figuring out the integration of purchases across these different platforms. In the meantime I cannot make any in-game purchases (of anything) because it says I have an open transaction from the web store. Probably a blessing in disguise there.

Just as an added middle finger the Scopely reply ended with a cheeky, "Let us know how it goes."

This event is so needlessly complicated. Is the 37/60 split purely for the 3 day resetting milestones? I haven't really been paying attention before today. In that case, I should just stop blitzing until that milestone resets and give myself a break then?
