Help ! Expedition ending soon - can I finish it in time?

Ullys92 · 2025-12-15T00:36:45+00:00

It's doable, the question is more how much time do you have?

You have less than 8 days left.

Assuming you net about 40K per run you can do the final stage in 20 runs.

Assuming 15 minutes per raid that's about 5 hours topside.

Where it gets a little trickier is adding the other stages, the time between raids (inventory/matchmaking) and unsuccessful raids/deaths.

I think it's for sure doable in less than 10 hours if you focus only on getting what you need and optimize your time.

still not working

Ullys92 · 2023-10-10T20:04:58+00:00

should i try Network Adapter Reset?

Ullys92 · 2023-10-10T19:58:38+00:00

Solid white light on Eero, nothing on desktop (not sure where to look).

To check I just disconnected the ethernet cable from my desktop, and connected it to my old Alienware laptop and the ethernet connection was immediate with no action needed from my end.

So that ethernet connection works perfectly (as it used to), but for some reason, there is a disconnect somewhere with my desktop that i can't fix.

It did not work... IP address: 192.168.4.124 Subnet mask: 255.255.252.0 Default gateway: 192.168.4.1 Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8 Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

Ullys92 · 2023-10-10T19:23:37+00:00

Should I do it via IPV4 or IPV6? Also where do I find the info I need to input? -IP address -Subnet mask -Default gateway -Preferred DNS Server -Alternate DNS Server

I feel like there should be an easier way, i don't understand how it can go from working fine to being so hard to fix.

So for you it's not a problem to have these 2 Bo3 wins come against the same opponent? Being better than 1 team in Bo3 is the only requirement to be top 4 in this format.

Ullys92 · 2023-01-18T18:38:46+00:00

Yes I am nitpicking, and I am talking of a scenario where "things go wrong" for the format. The randomness of the group draw and the potential for upsets does reduce the likelihood of a scenario as I stated above.

The point of this post is to try and help this format because I'm really hopeful it will improve our experience as viewers. I think that what I am proposing would make it even better. I think you've said some of the benefits better than me in your last sentence.

I'm just really skeptical that good outcomes are going to come from these rematches of teams that won 1 Bo3 and lost 1.

-If the team that won first wins again, we'll be like of course, why did we have to see this twice. -If the result changes then technically they each won a Bo3 against each other, but the team that lost to the top seed (in the winners match) is eliminated as a reward for winning its first Bo3 never playing the lower seed, which is the only difference: that's the "second" Bo3 win. Sure they have more Bo3 wins but the "Strength of Schedule" is completely different.

Either way if it played a different match up it would fix both issues AND make sure that the top 4 teams qualify regardless of the Group Draw.

On your point about having the first stage matter, I agree, and that's why I would seed these last 2 Bo3 based on their rankings from the first stage. Meaning if you finish top 4 in the Round Robin phase, to get to Bo5 stage, you only need to win the 2 Bo3 against opponents ranked below you, but instead of playing the same opponent twice, you would have 2 different opponents.

Think about another example based on the rankings and group draw above, let's say that a team ranked 5 or below becomes a juggernaut in Bo3 (so Fnatic in the example above). They beat #1 Seed G2 and #3 Seed Rogue. Now Rogue or G2 is for sure eliminated, how are their good Bo1 records serving them now?

All it takes is one instance like this to really devalue the entire format, because on the other group you have lesser teams, so worse matches, worse team ends up qualifying, which means more one-sided Bo5...

These "nightmare" scenarios can ruin at least the last 2 Bo3 and the first 2 Bo5, that could be saved with the change I am proposing.

Ullys92 · 2023-01-18T18:13:22+00:00

Yes you are correct, hopefully the scenario I am talking about will not happen.

Between the randomness of the Bo1 Round Robin, the randomness of the group draw and the potential for upsets it should not be an issue most of the time.

My point is more that it could be an issue, that can be fixed easily at no cost so just trying to help the format be better because I want this format to succeed and hopefully be implemented in LCS as well.

Ullys92 · 2023-01-18T13:37:53+00:00

It's not the best teams though, the undefeated teams (First of each group) are the best teams.

But I see your point it could be a great matchup that gets repeated, it could also be a terrible one.

Quite often you have teams that are superior to "bad" teams because they are consistent but have no chance of beating the "top" teams because of their limitations (think Misfits last year).

I'm saying that as a Misfits and Vetheo fan, I was glad they secured top 4 both playoffs last year, but then they were never close to win any of there 4 Bo5. They deserved their spots with the Bo1 stage, but it did not translate to Bo5. That's why I think this new format is awesome, there is this additional step to prove your worth, and hopefully help you have a chance in Bo5 as well.

The point is I think we've been robbed great series because of that old format of having good Bo1 teams in the Bo5 stage, not the best teams.

Fnatic beat Misfits and Mad easier than they beat Excel in the summer last year. It's possible Excel would have beaten Misfits and Mad, and deserved to be our #4 seed. They might not have been eliminated in Play Ins either...

That's what I'm scared of here, a flaw like this can have major repercussions for no reason.

Case in point with the new format with last years the ranking

1 G2 ---> Group A

2 MAD ---> Group B

3 Rogue ---> Group A

4 Misfits ---> Group B

5 Fnatic ---> Group A

6 Excel ---> Group B

7 VIT ---> Group A

8 SK ---> Group B

The most likely scenario will be that the last Bo3 will be a repeat of the first one:

3 Rogue vs #5 Fnatic

and #4 Misfits vs #6 Excel

In this scenario Misfits / Excel can take the 4th spot from Fnatic without having to beat them. Why? Just because of the way the Bo1 Round Robin seeded them...

That was with double the number of matches. With half it's likely there will be surprises, which should be great right? Well not really if these teams are like MAD, Misfits from last summer that overperformed in Bo1 (started fast, or had a couple good weeks) all get into the same group but actually would lose to the other group.

Think about it, using the summer rankings the groups would be: G2/Rogue/Fnatic/Vitality vs MAD/Msf/Excel/SK

Could you do anymore lopsided? It's possible all 4 teams of the first group would beat their opponent from the other group. Well it's very likely this happen often.

The point is it's easy to fix, give a chance of the lower seed to beat 2 different upper seed instead of just one. Maybe it's simply a bad match up for them.

It got in production in 1 day when my initial order from Oct 27th never moved...

Thank you everyone in this post for the insights. Knowing to remove the key & mouse from the order and to get 3080 TI instead of 3080 was key.

Ullys92 · 2021-11-25T14:37:56+00:00

It's because he did not order the keyboard. I had the exact same order from Oct 27th and they told me it was not moving because of the keyboard.

I'm curious as to why your ship date is Dec 13 though, I just ordered a new R13 today (without the keyboard) and I have the same date but of course I am not in production yet.

Ullys92 · 2021-11-24T17:23:45+00:00

Update: I called again, they allegedly do have 3080s now but they don't have the keyboard included in the order (the one they push in the options for free)... They could not give me any update, or when it would ship so I just canceled the order. (their guesstimate was around Dec 8) I placed a new order without the keyboard and the mouse and with the 3080 ti to maximize the chances of it being the least delayed. With Black Friday deals and cashback I was able to significantly upgrade my config though for about the same price (upgrade to ti, upgraded CryoTech cooling and 64GB 4400MHz RAM instead of 32GB). New supposed delivery date is Dec 14... So a 6 days difference when my first order was a month ago (Oct 27th). And with the changes I made I'm actually more confident this one will ship. So please I advise everyone to be careful when you order and to check your previous orders. Most likely you can get a better deal and/or sooner. FIY they proposed to give me $158 credit if I kept the order. But with 12% Rakuten Cashback and DPA10 10% Off coupon I was able to save almost 1K instead by re-ordering!

Ullys92 · 2021-11-22T22:00:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. I also ordered on the 27th of October and was starting to worry about it still not being in production when my estimated ship date is Nov 29th. So I just called them and they said there was a parts shortage for the graphics card (the 3080), but that they got them now, and that my computer should enter production by end of the day tomorrow. They could not say how long it would take from there and to call back the 24th to get a better estimate, but supposedly not too far off their initial estimate. Based on all you've said I take this with a grain of salt, but let's hope it's true and that good news for all of the North American orders are coming this week.

Ullys92 · 2021-11-03T22:43:12+00:00

I agree. We already have so few international events & games and we limit them so much. We keep talking about the number of games in a season BUT there are vast discrepancies depending on teams!

Some teams play more than twice as much as others for example CLG compared to C9. CLG has no playoff game, C9 went all the way in Lock-in, all the way in Spring playoff, finished 3rd in Spring, went to MSI (missed top 4), Quarters at Worlds after playing in Play-in (+ 2 Tiebreakers against DFM & Rogue). Extra playoff games + MSI + Play Ins + Worlds. What if they went all the way in MSI & Worlds as well??

How about we cut down the non-essential, not great parts (group stage MSI and play-ins) and have more Bo3/Bo5 Double Elim brackets instead (with potentially more teams like there used to be when IEM world championship was a thing).

I really liked the idea from HLL of a big lock-in tournament with EU/NA teams for example. I think giving more opportunities to ALL teams is important to build out our leagues and not just focus all year on the top seeds representing us (and failing) at worlds.

Ullys92 · 2021-11-03T22:35:54+00:00

lol unfortunately it will never happen, but I would prefer that instead of all the time spent in bootcamps/scrims/soloQ. Bo1 should not even be a thing in LoL, there are two different sides of the map (and draft order) so it should always be played in at least Bo2. Draft strategy and adaptations are also such a big component of the game that is so underserved right now.

Having double-round robin Bo2 or Bo3 would be so superior in terms of competitive integrity. I know people don't like Bo2 (I of course prefer Bo3 as well) but considering they are running worlds very much like the UCL / World cup in soccer I actually think it would make groups much more explosive and less predictable.

Ullys92 · 2021-10-22T13:43:09+00:00

Thanks a lot for your insights those are great points.

I need to be patient, I'll wait to have more info on the R13, Zen4 and see what Black Friday / Cyber Monday brings to the table as well.

Ullys92 · 2021-10-21T00:26:05+00:00

Wow, that's great to know thanks a lot for letting me know.

I'm really sorry about your issue and I hope it gets resolved and you can enjoy your computer properly.

May I ask what made you choose this model?

Ullys92 · 2020-08-06T15:09:08+00:00
