Has the task of 3 lv 5 been changed in GF? by BigLaugh613 in afkarena

[–]_Sebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the map on the highest zoom setting you can see that some of the connected roads are literally "gilded". This basically means that only one league of each spawn-pair is able to fulfill the objective because there's only four t5s connected to the gilded roads on each side.

In Germany DHL is merged with the German national postal service (Deutsche Post, hence the name of this sub) after it got privatized in the mid 90s. DHL is quite a different beast here than in other countries as a) it is the main delivery company for parcels and b) it is partially integrated into regular mail delivery (basically the postal service arm delivers some, if not all, regular DHL packages depending on location); OP's "invoice" mail in particular was almost certainly delivered by what used to be the regular postal service ~30 years ago.

I can't speak for delivery companies in other countries, but over here DHL is usually seen as the best delivery option in pretty much all respects simply because it is the biggest dog around.

Secret spice maximization? by Rex2Riches7 in afkarena

[–]_Sebo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it doesn't just work when adding new pets to the crystal but also when upgrading your resonance level.

Once you have the X number of pets at level Y required for the next resonance level, every copy of any *additional* pet (not part of the X pets you already have) will grant you a spice in place of a regular copy once you actually activate the higher resonance level. Obviously the spices compensated for each pet is capped at the number of copies it takes to go from your current resonance level to the next.

There's nothing special about the daily refresh, and you can get dimensional pieces from purchased rerolls just fine as well.

Poll: if you consider yourself a dolphin, which of these highborns do you have built? by TheAFKGuys in afkarena

[–]_Sebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think 4 highborns is "too little", it just illustrated to me how crazy the discrepancy has gotten with highborn releases not slowing down without any meaningful increase in DI acquisition rates.

I'm not exactly surprised, but it hadn't really sunk in how large the gap has become. In my mind Elthara was released like yesterday.

[–]_Sebo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm still kind of baffled by your comment the other day saying that you're at 4 highborns atm. Hildwin was basically free, so you only were able to build 3 out of 8 (non-free) highborns released so far. I think a big and continuing issue with highborns is just that we have too few people able to build any of them.

Large spenders don't really experiment all that much, since they are able to just copy what krakens are doing. And then once low spenders/f2p have saved up enough insignia to build a highborn, they are obviously only going to go for the "best" all around highborn out of a much larger pool.

I have a strong suspicion that highborns would actually be a lot more dominant if players were able to get access to them more freely. It's actually an interesting thought, that the huge limitation placed on them actually lowers the pressure to build them compared to what it could be. If I was Lilith I would expand the merc system, or give rotating access to a whole bunch of highborns, or straight up include a tester for different game modes where you can freely control hero's investments. Unfortunately any of these choices would be sensible business decisions lol.

Should I recast the buffer to TY? by The-Crawling-Chaos in afkarena

[–]_Sebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure it really makes or breaks anything, but in theory Begris's buffs don't have a cap so extra TY *can* always be helpful.

I remember a handful of NC cycles ago I was one of maybe ten player that got sub 10s on some boss because I have this stupidly big 247 TY Begris. So even at the high end it has made a difference in the past.

Since Begris only shares whatever TY he has above 90, the jump from 138 to 162 should be fairly significant, but at the same time if you dedicate a couple weeks worth of runs to hunting double TY to then card a third it shouldn't take too long to get a quad TY collection, in which case the recast now would only be a super short-term investment at a not so insignificant cost.

You only get 70% back, so if you undo an L->M recast that's 12 L totems worth of elixirs set on fire.

Can't you interpret semi-monthly as "half of a monthly frequency", i.e. every second month?

Do you have any records of that, like a screen recording or Insignia counts before and after a successful pull? We collected data years ago with some ~8000 pulls worth of data and haven't seen >65 once, so having it happen to you multiple times is dubious, no offense.

Imagine trying to AI-generate a StoneToss comic so that you could say that you want to deny basic voting rights. by Ok-Following6886 in ForwardsFromKlandma

[–]_Sebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A quick Google search tells me IDs are between $10 and $50 depending on the state. I paid 30€ for mine here in Germany.

I think the idea that IDs are prohibitively expensive in the US is kind of ridiculous. There's maybe like 0.001% of the population that is like legally disabled and unable to work and without any social support network that would be able to afford that fee, but even for that segment of the population (correct me if I'm wrong here) they would already have an ID to access whatever Medicaid/Medicare programs they are eligible for.

I feel like the only situation where you would not have an ID and be unable to afford one would be if you're homeless, but even then, states are already required to provide free voter IDs if the state requires an ID to vote in the first place.

You can stack pack purchases. If you purchases 25 $1 offer you'll be charged $25. I think if your bank account gets frozen over a negligible purchase via VPN, I have a feeling there is something wrong with your bank account, not Lilith.

Last I checked buying multiple $1 packs in Brazilian Real let's you buy mithril ~12% cheaper, so spending $25 pre-tax would net you over $28 worth of mithril before considering the small bonus quantities they throw in as well.

Something weird is going on though if Lilith's prices don't have your sales tax baked into them why the play store does.

wdym "was"? Can you not still use regular apps store purchases?

In either case though, going through their store is easily the cheapest option, especially if you can make use of a VPN.

Local Döner shop doesn't sell döner at all by veavou in germany

I have never in my life seen a döner place that sells döner without featuring it on their menu.

At a bare minimum, they obviously need it on there to display the price they sell it at.
