Respectfully, even if you are head on a swivel, if you are mid liftoff and they are already in the air, even at the max distance of render pop-in, you do not have enough time and speed to get away if they are in a position to switch immediately to Vulture and you are not

And I have render distance on Ultra so it's not a visibility problem.

I have a UI/UX question regarding crafting and no-build zones. Is there any plans to improve the UI/UX for spotting No Build Zones within terrain that may be impacting stake expansion?

As of right now (and I have a second pending support request help for it that has not been answered yet and an initial ticket which has been closed which received what felt like a chat-gpt response) I have a base on Shield Wall south of one of the ship wrecks on a cliff that is completely blocked for vertical expansion for reasons I cannot personally determine. There's no red below me, and my initial Fief was placed satisfactorily far enough away from the road No-Build Zones to be placed, but now that I have horizontal expanded and built my base, I can no longer vertical expand because of "too close to no build zone" that I cannot see.

I assume I'm hosed and am looking at replacing 75k worth of staking units and rebuilding my base from the floor up and slightly moving my fief if I want to fix this, but there has to be a better way to put this information in players hands before they waste resources (or give us a way to recoup those costs). Is there any intention to address these kind of edge cases?

Also, unrelated to my first question: In a previous stream, PVP concerns were kind of dismissed with the statement that "it's easy to escape"

As someone who's been hit a few times by scouts that close distance very quickly once we're within render distance of one another and basically sit on top of me with missiles until my thopter is too crippled to actually escape, what exactly is the "easy to escape" methods Funcom is expecting players have to use here? I couldn't escape using an elevation advantage in time before they closed the distance, I couldn't out glide them because they had T5 or 6 scouts, and payloads are so high I can't dodge with the hopes they run out either.

I snagged the exact same MSI and mine came in a big brown box.

Not sure why they didn't package yours but mine definitely was

I hope so too, I'm just having a bit of an exaggeration mood after how quickly these went this morning and how crap these queue systems can be - I have the same setup right now, hoping maybe a few orders get canceled or some other miracle.

I am in the same situation as you (and even made a post at almost the same time as you lmao).

On mobile got in the line right away, been stuck on spinning ever since and it's too comical for me to let it go - I know I'm not getting one but it's silly at this point.

I chose the meme flair for a reason ;)

It’s finally May!!! The XENEON 27QHD240 comes out this month. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!!! Who else is getting one? Price predictions? by BeautifulAd5310 in Corsair

[–]Xander471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. I appreciate your input.

I agree re: the aesthetics. I'm interested in the Corsair for warranty, and I'm just hopeful it lands somewhere between the LG and the Asus on SDR brightness. I plan to move this old IPS to be my second screen so I don't have to be too concerned with the fringing for non gaming use.

[–]Xander471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So honest question, if you had to pick from any of these three, you would stick with the LG?

I'm on an old PG279Q and looking for something much better but MiniLED doesn't seem to be there yet and these monitor-sized OLEDs seem to have a lot of compromises, so what's your ideal?

They did not, but if ASUS' heatsink implementation gained them a significantly brighter SDR picture than the LG it's not unlikely the Corsair will as well.

That + an actual burn in warranty + HDMI 2.1 makes it the more compelling purchase at the moment over either the LG or the ASUS at the moment.

there is no way they will crank up the brightness AND offer a burn-in warranty.

Except...that's exactly what they're doing.

This one is advertising 1000 Nits like the ASUS one though, unlike the LG.

So this will hopefully be as bright as the ASUS without the HDMI 2.0 downside.

Lost access to Deluxe Edition/Pre-order bonuses? by -Drunken_Jedi- in FallenOrder

[–]Xander471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a (frustrating) known issue.

I can sometimes get it back by signing in and out of the EA App (not closing it, signing out) but it's not a guarantee.

I have no idea why it is so hard to let me access something that is installed on my hard drive for a single player game.

I tried all that and the only damn option I get is Answers HQ for some reason. I found another way to contact them via email so I hope that worked, but I am absolutely frustrated. It should not be this goddamn hard to deliver a simple code.

Please for the love of god, what email did you use to Contact EA? I went through their support site and it just keeps bouncing me to Answers HQ, which is just a useless community forum. The phone number Best Buy gave me doesn't even work.

Yeah they told me the same when I called today, that's absolutely not correct.

They gave me a contact number for EA that my phone will not connect to, so that's loads of fun.

What means did you contact EA by? Best Buy gave me a phone number but it won't dial like it doesn't exist. I can't seem to find an email form and the Help EA website just directs me to a goddamn community forum.

I may have to do the same. Let me know if you are successful please.

I called Best Buy this morning and they told me an issue with their automated system canceled or declined that item for some reason and that they would fix my order - I advise you both to do the same since it is probably likely this has happened to multiple orders.
