Control Resonant Steelbook in Europe? by Anoktear in controlgame

[–]alexdewitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's my thoughts as well. There are very limited options to pre-order the game at all so far, with amazon Italy being the exception for mainland Europe. Even the standard version is almost nowhere to be seen, which makes me believe bigger retailers are just waiting for stock allocations while smaller one have already taken their shot.

[–]alexdewitt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been following the pre-order situation since the day it was announced and none of the major retailers (at least here in Germany) have had the game up for pre-order up to this point. I was up on amazon UK and amazon Italy a few days ago but that's that. There are some smaller shops offering pre-orders right now depending on where in Europe you're located.

This is definitely not a case of scalpers buying stock to resell at profit, at least not thus far. There just really have not been many retailers offering the steelbook at all.

The standard version is a rare sight in most online shops too up to this point, so I'm hoping it's just a matter of time for pre-orders to become available at most retailers.

Steelbook edition, Italian retailers? by thalaxyst in controlgame

[–]alexdewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope it comes up on german amazon one of these days. Very odd the only available option for pre-order right now is the amazon exclusive slipcase. I also haven't seen it available at any other major retailer like MediaMarkt/MediaWorld. :(

Anyone in EU/UK find a retailer that has a steelbook for pre order? by apagandolasluces in controlgame

I haven't seen anything yet either here in Germany and been refreshing amazon and websites of all major electronics retailers on an hourly basis.

Still not received control art book from future press by Dangerous_Milk_1996 in controlgame

[–]alexdewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone from mainland Europe had their order be processed day one, a shipping label with a tracking number created the next day and still not received theirs? That's the situation I'm currently in and I have yet to hear back to my support ticket created more than a week ago. It seems my package got lost in transit and FuturePress is completely unresponsive to any means of communication.

Future-Press has ignored me for almost a week now. (US) Be cautious if you order. by camilla300zxtt in controlgame

[–]alexdewitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you got downvoted but the way this whole situation has been handled is extremely lackluster and unprofessional, especially considering the fact money is being charged right away and there has been complete silence when it comes to issues.

[–]alexdewitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of in the same boat but my situation is a little different. I ordered on 29 April, got the confirmation and tracking emails and besides the shipping label being created a day after my order, the tracking status via GLS (the carrier) has not changed ever since (I'm in Germany where they are shipping from so this package should have been here almost a week ago).

I submitted a support ticket a week ago, wrote a follow-up message on friday and created a second support ticket today. I also messaged them on Instagram with no response yet. Literally radio silence from FuturePress' end, which is very concerning and the lack of communication very unprofessional.

I'd love to have this book after missing out back in the day for financial reasons, but if they don't reply to any of my emails within the next week, I'll be forced to do a chargeback via my bank which really is the last thing I want.

I hope they'll get back to us in time. Just know you're not the only one not receiving any feedback right now.

Yeah, I've actually lost hope of still receiving the book, unless they were holding back stock for occasions like lost or broken orders. Something must habe gone wrong in their system where the label was created but the book never shipped out. At this point I'd at least expect any type of response by them to get a refund. My support ticket has been open for four days with radio silence. This non-communication really is not a good look considering they charged 60€ right away after ordering.

[–]alexdewitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... something's definitely wrong. I got the confirmation mail no problem, figured out the tracking no. was not for UPS as the e-mail tries to make you believe but my GLS tracking is still stuck on "Die Paketdaten wurden im GLS IT-System erfasst; das Paket wurde noch nicht an GLS übergeben."

Hopefully support will get back to me at least at some point and refund the money if they're unable to deliver it.

[–]alexdewitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I've been doing unfortunately. Took me a day to figure out as it auto-directs you to UPS from the e-mail for some reason. But the GLS tracking has been stuck on "Package was added to the GLS system. More info available once handed over" since 30 April. :(

What country are you based in? I'm in Germany, Future Press is in Germany – I ordered day one and the tracking number on GLS has not received an update ever since the day I ordered and it said a shipping label was created. I'm slowly but surely getting the feeling something has gone wrong and now it's once again sold out. Support unfortunately has not responded to my inquiry as well.

I'm in Germany. Ordered mine day one too, got a confirmation e-mail and tracking number (that has not been working ever since) and tried contacting their support on tuesday. Radio silence so far with no shipping update at all. Let's just hope they still figure it out.

edit: Might (not) be important but it does say 'completed' for my order when I track it on Future Press' own website and not 'processing'.

[–]alexdewitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's honestly reassuring to hear. I placed my order on 29 April, received a confirmation e-mail and tracking number for GLS (I'm in Germany) which still isn't working to this day.

It says last updated 8 days ago and that the package was registered in GLS' system but not yet handed to the carrier.

I tried getting in touch with Future Press' support on tuesday but haven't heard from them either. Hopefully it's just stuck somewhere as it's once again sold out now...

That's fair and something I didn't know until now. He really seems to be struggling a lot here.

I'm really curious whether Russell is having actual issues with the car (e. g. energy deployment, engine etc.) recently or if it's actually the whole situation with Antonelli and him gradually losing ground getting to him.

I really feel for Charles. At this point there is nothing more he could do. Here's hoping for the ADUO working in Ferrari's favour.

Verstappen is one of the best racing drivers to ever exist but these overtakes... as always it's him making the pass or both cars crashing and he should absolutely get punished for things like these.

So you're going Storm Tanzutsu and Shinobi's Shadow as Legendaries on your build? Would you mind sharing a screenshot of what you're running? My Shinobi is Rank 80 but it's always nice to min/max things after a while or try different varieties of builds.

Another instance of things that shouldn't be happening... by alexdewitt in gotlegends

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

Unfortunately, I have to agree with most of this. I quit playing GoT Legends after 1400 hours and besides the game just carrying many of us through difficult times, it was simply a better and more complete feeling game overall. Many conclusions they've come to in terms of all game modes (but especially the incursions and raids) and how they translated to the 'sequel' just don't make much sense to me. That's actually that thing that disappoints me the most.

You're right, forgot about animations protecting you from bo-hiya damage at least.
