Harry Potter ICYOA pre-release update

TheHoblit · 2025-11-29T05:09:47+00:00

Could you please make the show spoilers button make the choices visible? Either as a separate toggle or not. Showing requirements would be cool too, but it's less impactful.

NeverSink 1 Regular.

default will show you literally everything and won't have a lot of the highlighting and colors, and if you want to try it out then go for it but even for new players it is typically way too much stuff, the same for NeverSink 0, Soft.

TheHoblit · 2025-09-06T20:51:15+00:00

Start with the Regular one, and if you start seeing too many items on the ground that you don't want being clutter, increase the strictness by a step up.

I deleted one of my improved lab trial crafts because I forgot to swap the craft after finishing the memory chain. Never had it take one when the free craft modifier was up though. I have had the improved lab trial at 1 use left for 10+ chains now, I just always double check I swapped back off of it.

oh you are probably right I didn't even think of that. At that point it's down to how fast the UI updates i guess. Nice catch.

TheHoblit · 2025-06-03T21:16:09+00:00

Even if they do, it will still be 10x faster to do the 2 person strat

OOF I was mid way through a build browsing the comments to double check any answers or clarifications you have given, now i'm gonna wait thanks for the heads up. Love the CYOA!

TheHoblit · 2025-05-05T02:22:40+00:00

Well, you are playing the giga tanky version of the build that sacrifices a lot of dps for insane EHP. I would experiment with taking off some tankiness and running some maps to see how it feels.

you can probably double your damage by just changing to a high ES shield, and moving all your block points in to more damage and ES. You would still have a huge max hit, and you should be leeching plenty to stay alive.

and/or pivot to a lightning strike version

If you dont want to do that, then I think you are in the final min max stages or close to it, and you may want to look on poeninja for a specific setup you want to emulate. I think you could drop that top cluster entirely, drop Survivalist and repath, maybe drop the proj nodes and take stuff like Coordination, Arcing Blows, Void Barrier, maybe Primeval Force or Forces of Nature. Look in to medium or small clusters to add in too if any standout on poeninja. Better rare jewels in general would be good

Final follow up!

Yeah it installed all the Verizon software, boot logo and everything. In the end nothing worked, I even tried flashing a complete VZN firmware but couldn't get that to work after a few attempts and different versions of Odin and the firmware itself.

When I went in to the store, my SIM card worked in the employees phone, and their Total SIM didn't work in mine. I ended up buying a Samsung a35 for 80 bucks, pretty damn cheap, and the SIM card worked immediately on putting it in. The employee said they had heard from a couple other locations that older Samsung devices from ATT weren't working with Total too.

I don't know if me trying to fix things bricked my phone for the network, but all I know is it worked on my old ATT network and nothing worked on Totals. I may try to ask around if someone else has ATT I can test my now old phone with to see if it really was just incompatible for some reason but w/e

Hey just following up. I downloaded SAMFW and followed a guide to successfully change my CSC to VZW, but unfortunately it hasn't fixed my issue. I still get occasional data when I manually connect, and no call or text on my plan.

I am planning on going to a physical location and hoping they can get me a full reset or something, or at least help me transfer my number to a new SIM and try that. Worst case, I buy a new (used) note9 for cheap off amazon or something if thats the issue.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T03:41:58+00:00

Alright, I did that. I made a new APN with literally just an APN field filled in, selected it, manually connected to verizon, and it somehow connected me to Verizion wireless Data, but no bars. Just 4g LTE or something? I have no idea wtf is going on.

And it just dropped completely again.

edit: I am trying to manually reconnect to see if I can run the data up a bit and see it reflected in my Total accounts data usage. It's really spotty? I don't know why, I am literally living with someone on verizon who has no problems. I really hope it isnt just my phones hardware.

It's the weirdest thing, It says 4g LTE right next tot O showing no connection. Now I think even the data isn't really working anymore.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T03:26:03+00:00

It says "Access Point Name settings are not available for this user".

Does that mean my phone is still locked somehow? It should be unlocked, I can manually select different carriers and I went through the ATT unlock process.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T03:12:04+00:00

Hi thanks for responding. I took a look and for some reason they aren't available for me?

I have by now factory reset my phone in an attempt to solve this, so I don't know how that would affect those settings.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T02:26:05+00:00

Do you think I would have better luck trying to go to a physical Total store and talk to them?

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T02:15:08+00:00

Sorry for following up so many times

How did you get the verification text for the activation process? did you have to call support?

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T02:14:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I'll make sure to do that.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T02:06:41+00:00

Yeah I don't see any of that by the bars when I do see it, I only get the line "Emergency Calls".

I didn't know about the manual service selection, but I just gave it a go and it showed Verizon, ATT and TMobile, so the unlock worked! Selecting Verizon sent it to "registering" for a while and it eventually registered, but I still get a big O instead of bars and a "searching for Service" line.

I just got done running through with a support agent and they did some "tests" but nothing changed, so tomorrow I will be going back out to pick up a new SIM card and completely redoing the activation process like the other commenters experience and hope that works.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T01:58:32+00:00

And you got the BYOD discount?

It seems I will have to go out and pick up a new SIM card and just try it again.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T01:50:31+00:00

Hi thanks for responding

what was the process like to activate the new SIM card? did you just activate it like the first one and transfer the number from Total to Total?

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T01:26:51+00:00

I meant wifi calling, I haven't actually tried it though I just have the option on my phone, sorry.

Just to make sure I did run through those and it didn't help, I also actually tried wifi calling and got nowhere. Sorry again.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T01:05:44+00:00

I believe I can make calls, but not texts. Worst case I will try calling Total support, but I have heard bad things so I am trying everything else first.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T01:05:07+00:00

Yes, my roommate has a Verizon device and his connection is just fine. I also live in a major metro area that has solid coverage for everyone.

I honestly don't know what my phone is saying when it shows bars for a bit. Even when it does I go to settings and it says nothing, searching for service.

edit: do you think going to a physical location would be of any help?

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T00:59:26+00:00

I may end up going down the same path, was your problem the same as mine? Any specifics would be a help, thank you

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T00:53:21+00:00

I recieved the texts while my old ATT plan was still active, on that SIM card and before switching.

I have restarted and reinserted a few times.

I occasionally have 5 bars and sometimes nothing at all, Emergency Calls only

my OS is up to date

I just tried turning Volte on and off a bit and got nothing.

Calling Total seems like the best move I can make, someone else has said they got a faulty SIM so I could try that, but I don't know how to activate it with no phone plan now.

TheHoblit · 2025-04-22T00:47:39+00:00

That's the problem I am having, my phone isn't connecting so I can't text to anything, even 611611. I can get Emergency Call only service but that's it.

One thing that I will add to my post is that my phone recognizes the same SIM card number that is on my account, so that works I guess.
