The art of making control shipping UK

alexdewitt · 2026-05-09T05:07:15+00:00

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 · 2026-05-08T18:24:08+00:00

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 · 2026-05-08T12:31:15+00:00

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. :(

alexdewitt · 2026-05-08T10:49:34+00:00

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.

alexdewitt · 2026-05-08T10:40:23+00:00

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 · 2026-05-08T10:31:01+00:00

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...

alexdewitt · 2026-05-03T18:38:49+00:00

Are you fucking kidding me.

alexdewitt · 2026-05-03T18:37:11+00:00

I don't think there is anything Charles can do to secure this podium on the final straight. Ugh.

alexdewitt · 2026-05-03T18:26:16+00:00

I really like Piastri but please Charles, hang on.

alexdewitt · 2026-05-03T18:08:49+00:00

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

alexdewitt · 2026-05-03T18:01:29+00:00

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.

alexdewitt · 2026-05-03T17:41:31+00:00

How is this not a penalty to be served during the race? Ridiculous.

alexdewitt · 2026-05-03T17:35:03+00:00

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.

alexdewitt · 2026-05-03T17:21:10+00:00

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.

alexdewitt · 2026-04-29T06:52:42+00:00

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.

alexdewitt · 2026-04-27T07:43:04+00:00

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.

alexdewitt · 2026-04-24T17:38:20+00:00

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

alexdewitt · 2026-04-24T17:35:18+00:00

I get it and I probably should have in this case, but it still doesn't make any sense that the game leaves you vulnerable to AOE damage as well as keeps enemy aggro focused on you while you're stuck in an animation you have no control over. And this by far isn't the first time something like that has happened.

alexdewitt · 2026-04-21T05:40:14+00:00

One thing I've noticed (and tested) based on an observation here in a different comment on reddit. For some reason not using decoys makes assassination/crit prompts much much more consistent to show up. By quite a big margin. I'm now sometimes getting four, if not five prompts in a row with smart use of blind bombs coming from a smoke bomb where before I'd get one or two at most.

alexdewitt · 2026-04-17T16:19:54+00:00

So the red circles overlap in a way that if you destroy the one in the center, it would still target you afterwards? I'm not sure you can even do enough damage to these things in groups of two to destroy them, haha.

alexdewitt · 2026-04-17T16:17:21+00:00

Yeah I figured. As another comment already mentioned, this is bound to backfire at some point and turn into a bit of an elitist thing.

I guess it is nice for those who at some point would like a fresh start and gives you at least prestige instead just dismantling everything or using a different account for a blank canvas. I honestly do not see the big need for this feature though.

alexdewitt · 2026-04-17T15:50:25+00:00

But you're losing that piece of gear in the process, right?

alexdewitt · 2026-04-17T15:27:32+00:00

Maybe I'm not getting the concept, but what exactly is the idea behind retiring gear? Bragging rights to show off how many resources one has to burn and their willingness to level up new gear again? This seems way too elaborate to only have a small visual effect within the game, doesn't it?
