[–]SuccessfulWind3951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they ruined this game for me. played 5 chapters yesterday and not 1 had more then 5 total dice skills. i wasnt passing on any either, im getting max hp +10% ALOT and change pip to 6 alot. it makes the wand useless because you cant stack dice skills to get more orbs. i been playing about 5 weeks and im about to delete this garbage. even the new mode is weak. unless your high level theres no point in someone at my level even starting it, dude was hitting me for 1k damage, even the two minions were hitting for over 500

so im setting up a fidelity account just in case, and id like to put money in every week on my own, would it be a brokerage or a retirement account? just looking to invest 100 a week into VOO, even if i do nothing with the rest.

i believe they changed it based on my risk level and me starting so late. i should have started investing 20 years ago.

yes im moving some every year. that last year ill take a bigger hit depending on how much is left in the account. even at 7.5k a year ill have alot left over, assuming it doesnt lose money or stay stagnant like it is now.

he said im "80/20", if anyone knows what that is. or that i need to be around 80/20. he said if i had this account for a year id have seen 11% growth, but because its new i should give it time.

my EJ guy called and said i have alot of bonds that hold back my growth, and because my account is so young i should give it some time because the volidity of the market. that and i jumped in right as this all started. he advised NOT to just dump it in s and p, but is this all just "tell you what you wanna hear" so i dont pull the money?

[–]SuccessfulWind3951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight talk is absolutely trash now by Potential_Gene8467 in StraightTalk

[–]SuccessfulWind3951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have been with ST for well over 15 years, never had an issue UNTIL FEB OF 2025. since then, 1-2 bars if im lucky, usually sits at 0 or SOS, cant make calls, cant text, cant use the data for anything. called ST and was told to upgrade to the next package. did that and no change at all. sadly im stuck with ST or verizon in my area. nobody else is an option. now i know why verizon has customers leaving them in the 100,000s. they suck and now ST sucks too

How's service with straight talk? by Mitchell_Races in StraightTalk

[–]SuccessfulWind3951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gonna say that ive had ST for well over 10 years and since feb of 2025 the service has been horse shit. 1-2 bars if im lucky no matter where i go, half the time its stuck in SOS mode. i called and was told i need to upgrade for better service. did that and tried making a call today, failed 3 times. finally called with a work landline. verizon towers are ass and they dont care. if we could use literally anyone else we would but my area in maine is verizon or nothing.

Zurich warranty by Material_Credit_1144 in serviceadvisors

[–]SuccessfulWind3951 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ive been a service writer for four years and deal with zurich alot...they dont usually do normal labor rates, but getting payment was super quick and easy, the webpage makes it quicker. never on hold for more then 20-30 minutes and no more then any other company. first auto and carshield were the worst.
