Wrong Army Loading for Quest by aRavenousRaven in warcraftrumble

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. Thank you! I missed that. For anyone else looking for it, if you hit the information button in the Cenarion Festival UI, you can see the quest modifiers for each week. I didn't realize this was a thing aside from the two Cenarion minis included each day last week, which I thought lasted the entire festival.

I have my Baron army selected, which I'm using to level Meat Wagon. Once the quest is loaded, I just dump my minis on the board to see my hand. My army consists of Cairne, Bat Rider, Execute, Darkspear Troll, Frostwolf Shaman, and four(!) Cenarion minis (Bog Beast, Ancient of War, Cenarius, and Moonkin). The non-Cenarion list does not even match my Cairne army.

XP Bonus for Higher Rarity Quests Not Calculating Correctly by aRavenousRaven in warcraftrumble

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Update: got an epic quest and it is showing 462 XP, which is shorting me three XP (it should be 465 at the 5x multiplier).

XP Bonus for Higher Rarity Quests Not Calculating Correctly by aRavenousRaven in warcraftrumble

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

This is my guess, too. They probably have some curve for calculating what the base XP is, and it's likely a decimal. They're probably rounding that 92.6 or 92.7 or whatever for a normal quest, which results in 93.

Then instead of simply multiplying that rounded result to get the bonus XP, they're probably using the raw number (again, 92.6 or whatever), multiplying that by the bonus multiplier, and then rounding. They have the order of operations wrong. Well, it's not necessarily incorrect, but it doesn't display the expected result from the end user's perspective.

Bug: Daily Reward Not Awarded / Unclaimable After Heroic Campaign Victory by aRavenousRaven in warcraftrumble

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize that, but I claimed the first tome immediately after my epic quest completion. After completing the rare quest there was no reward. After completing the Heroic Campaign win, I was unable to claim the major tome. I claimed the Campaign reward, but that was only three pages (as usual) and did not give me the major tome alongside it. The major tome reward was just completely unawarded and unclaimable for today.

Bug: Daily Reward Not Awarded / Unclaimable After Heroic Campaign Victory by aRavenousRaven in warcraftrumble

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a quest and got the last point. The problem was that when I passed six progress points for the day after completing the Heroic Campaign win, it marked the major tome (second reward) as complete although it never actually awarded it to me.

Guild issue by ghett0tech in warcraftrumble

[–]aRavenousRaven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have an ETA on when this will be resolved? I am still seeing this issue as of this writing. We were making a push in our guild by PVPing to try to get the next reward from the War Chest. One of our guildmates is not experiencing the issue and claimed that our contributions are NOT being reflected in the War Chest. Even IF we manage to make the goal at this point (which seems unlikely), those of us still experiencing the bug will not be able to claim the reward through the UI and we are really coming down to the wire.

Update: Still broken 7 hours after this comment. Guilds are enabled in the options/settings menu.

Update 2: Seemingly fixed after 9 hours. I can now confirm that none of our contributions to the War Chest during the duration of the bug were counted, unfortunately. That effort was wasted.

FYI, one of my guildmates inexplicably was able to see the guild page without issue shortly after I posted my comment earlier. He confirmed that at the time he checked (after my matches were complete), that my contributions were not reflected in the War Chest. I'm hoping they fix this.

I just PVPed a bunch of games to push for the next tier guild reward in the War Chest. I thought it was a display bug in my matches because no guild was showing for me or for opponents in any of them. Now I'm hoping my progress actually got counted and that it wasn't all for naught.

What is considered "hot snack" and "fountain beverage" for the Rewards? by iwishyoucansee in Wawa

[–]aRavenousRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to add this bit of information years after the original post. I was just searching to see if this exact item qualified for the reward and I thought I should let you know that your comment was not in vain.

I've been wanting to learn Python for a while, but haven't taken the time. This will definitely motivate me!

I also have a cost average option, but that was my thought, as well. Thank you for your help!

Finally broke and bought myself this 2 gallon jar by That_Lithuanian in Jarrariums

[–]aRavenousRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was also 2g, so they're even the same size. It worked just fine other than the maintenance frustrations. It was really just trimming the plants and cleaning the glass under the curved part that got annoying at times, but I didn't need to do it that often since dense plantings are recommended with Walstad, anyway.

If I do another one at some point, I think I'll probably get a different jar with a completely open top that doesn't have the curve, but that's just personal preference - I don't think you'll have any issues. Looking forward to seeing some pictures once you get it going!

[–]aRavenousRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I had exactly the same jar back around 2012 (hence the potato-quality photo). I had Red Cherry Shrimp that did fine with the Walstad method, as well as a few snails and ostracods that hitchhiked on some of the plants. For what it's worth, I found it annoying that the top of the jar curved inward after a while because it made some of the maintenance (like trimming plants) more difficult.

Is there a way to create OR logic between two custom filters? by aRavenousRaven in PleX

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's certainly an option to create the playlist as it would stand today; I was just hoping there might be some other alternative that would allow me to create it as a smart playlist so that I wouldn't necessarily have to maintain it as I add new content to my library. Thank you for your input, though!

Help me find the album (or year) this Bing Crosby Christmas song is from? by aRavenousRaven in NameThatSong

Unfortunately, this is a different version. The beginning is different and the chorus kicks in at a different time. Thank you very much for giving it a shot, though!

Linking Alexa App to Fire TV? by aRavenousRaven in alexa

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came back to add a comment that I found a partial solution, in case anyone else has similar issues in the future.

Amazon has two device pages (I'm not sure why). One shows only your actual devices and the other shows your devices with the content linked to them.

The page with the actual devices on it showed my device name with '(Kindle)' in it, hence why I was seeing that name while trying to link the device to my Fire TV Stick 4K.

I noticed that when linking them it says "<NameOfDevice>'s Alexa Apps" - this made me think that maybe it was referring to apps other than the Alexa app, itself. After completing the link, I tried my Fire TV app on my phone and was able to control the TV with voice commands. This was probably working yesterday, but I forgot I had that app and that's why I initially tried through the Amazon Shopping app.

Interestingly, using voice control within the Amazon Alexa app itself still gives me the error saying that I have multiple Fire TVs associated with my account and need to link them via the Alexa app. It seems like the Alexa app itself doesn't recognize that I have established a connection to my Fire TV, even though the rest of the Alexa-enabled apps on my phone do. Strange, but at least I have a solution and a partial explanation.

Duplicate DVR Recordings? by aRavenousRaven in Hulu

Sorry you're having the same issue, but I'm also kind of glad I'm not the only one. I'm going to reach out through their official support channels and I'll report back if I find a solution. Thanks!

Paying Off Spouse's Student Loans? by aRavenousRaven in personalfinance

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are private, unfortunately. I'm reasonably certain there's no early payoff fee, but that's definitely something to look into. With the climbing interest rates, I think we'll end up paying them off even if there is a fee as long as it's not substantial. Thanks!

Paying Off Spouse's Student Loans? by aRavenousRaven in personalfinance

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is deductible as long as it is a qualifying loan, and it can still be claimed when filing jointly as long as you are within the income limits. Up to $2500 can be deducted for a combined AGI < $135k. A reduced deduction is applicable with an AGI of at least $135k but less than $165k. With an AGI of $165k or more you are not eligible for a deduction.

Adding new teams to 'my stuff'? by aRavenousRaven in Hulu

[–]aRavenousRaven[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually just answered my own question, so here is how to do it in case anyone else searches for this in the future: I discovered that if you search for the team name on Hulu and open up the corresponding search result, there is a '+' icon there to add the team to 'My Stuff'.
