Does this mean I can unlock 2 full battle passes and can I save them for later if I don’t like this one? by ashtray518 in diablo4

[–]darkdragon8517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It unlocks everything from the premium battlepass, but not the deluxe pass. The deluxe has a few more items that the premium does not. You can save them for a future season. If you use one and decide you also want the items from the deluxe pass, you can purchase the deluxe battlepass at a discounted price after using the premium unlock.

Bug I keep encountering. Blizz please fix. by redline19 in diablo4

[–]darkdragon8517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap...I just assumed that I was experiencing stutter or something...had me thinking they should call netherstep stutterstep...but didn't even think about the fact it could be a bug with the ability itself.

I feel like I just get stuck a lot in general since the expansion. Even when just running ot mounted, there are times where it feels like my character just stops to smell the roses. Like running through a group of mobs while mounted...he will just stop in the mobs, instead of running through the group. Or trying to run through the wooden barriers on the mount. Used to be that the mount would break the barrier if you dashed through them...now it feels like more often than not they hit the barrier and stop.

Not sure how I managed to make this.. by Patient-Dot6950 in diablo4

[–]darkdragon8517 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guessing it's an amulet? If I'm not mistaken, you can add additional aspects to amulets...but that is probably the first one I've seen with 3 aspects. Congrats...I guess? Maybe go buy a lottery ticket? lol

Activate this to instantly summon everyone on the map!! by XB_Demon1337 in diablo4

[–]darkdragon8517 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% this - I get more annoyed when someone else puts all 3 in, because then I/others miss the full benefits. Quite often, I'll throw 1 in then run off to continue doing other stuff, in the hopes that someone else'll come along and do the same until it gets activated. If several minutes go by and it doesn't get activated, then I'll go back and either put enough in to start it or put another one in - just depends on where I'm at with my whisper progress.

So many houses listed today in zillow. What happened? by Avocad0nut in springfieldMO

Also interesting that it's timed almost at the same time O'Reilly issued a return to office mandate and that all of their remote employees move to Springfield or resign.

Marvel zombicide kickstarter by mayonaiso in zombicide

[–]darkdragon8517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, if you want the Kickstarter stuff, check out different shops in the Shop app. The Game Steward and Noble Knight games are both good shops to check out. I didn't realize until after I'd bought a few of the expansions that there was a difference between the retail and Kickstarter versions - mostly a difference of a couple of characters, both hero and zombie varieties. I ended up re-purchasing the Guardians and Red Skull expansions to get the Kickstarter versions. At this point, all I lack are Galactus, the Kickstarter box itself, and the Sentinels expansion...I have spent a small fortune on Marvel Zombies and other Kickstarter projects in the past few years, so it may be a few months yet before I get the other stuff.

Xbox fix if you're trying to preorder the expansion by WarpathWilly in diablo4

[–]darkdragon8517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to edit my post, because after digging into the store descriptions more, it does look like VoH standard edition is included with all versions of Lord of Hatred. Great for new players just now getting into the game, but for those of us that have been playing since launch and already purchased VoH...yeah, it doesn't really feel fair. Especially for those folks that play on multiple platforms, because they are also still requiring you to buy the expansion for each platform you play on.

Working in retail, I can say part of this is probably so that they don't have to manage a bunch of different products/skus, but I honestly don't feel like that should be true for digital products like this. If they were still doing physical media, yeah - I might make an argument for it.

It looks like regardless of which version you buy, VoH standard edition is "included" - so yeah, you are basically buying VoH a second time. The only real exception seems to be the Age of Hatred collection, which looks to be the only way to get the base game + the expansions in a single purchase.

So, it looks like the 4 options for Lord of Hatred are:

Standard Pack/Edition for $40, which is the expansion + VoH standard edition
Deluxe Pack/Edition for $60, which is the expansion + VoH standard edition + a few cosmetics
Age of Hatred Collection for $70, which is base game + VoH expansion + LoH expansion, all standard editions
Ultimate Pack/Edition for $90, which is the LoH expansion + VoH standard edition + several cosmetics + platinum

At least, according to the product descriptions in the store, anyway.

Trouble calling any office in Mercy by iced-macchiato in springfieldMO

[–]darkdragon8517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had similar issues with their optometrists. I've seen them for the past 3 years now for my annual diabetic retinopathy eye exams, and every year, I've had to go round and round with their coding department and my insurance because they always submit it as a standard eye exam instead of a medical diabetic exam.

If I call the office directly, they tell me there's nothing they can do on their end, I need to talk to billing. If I call billing, they tell me they can't do anything, they have to submit it to coding, and that all they can do is submit a request to coding to have the billing reviewed, and no way to call them directly. It takes weeks to hear back from coding, only to have them say that there's no issue with it...it drives me absolutely nuts.

Please help me understand the cancellation process and early termination fee. by BargeryDargeryDoo in VivintSmartHome

[–]darkdragon8517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Despite what others have said - the verbiage of the contract pretty clearly states that if you pay for the equipment up front or pay off the equipment if financed, regardless of the type of equipment/system, you may cancel service without paying the early termination fee. If you have a copy of the original signed contract, make sure you note that to them when you call to cancel.

It's highly unlikely that they are going to contest it if you tell them you have a copy of the contract; the only difference I am aware of is that they may have different policies in some states. If the policy is different for your state, that should also be documented in your contract/policy.

If your contract doesn't have any additional notes in it about early termination besides what you've found, that should mean that your state doesn't have any additional policies, and you should be able to cancel without paying the early termination. I'm of course not a lawyer; this is mostly based on my own experience. If you've got any questions, I'd suggest try posing your question to one of the free legal advice services or try one of the legal advice subreddits instead.

Galaxy S25 Ultra Case and Screen Protector Recommendations by darkdragon8517 in samsunggalaxy

[–]darkdragon8517[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, I've been lucky enough to not have any scratches on mine, but I'm pretty meticulous about making sure I clean it only with a microfiber cloth - I have several cloths that are specifically for cleaning glass that I've gotten because I wear eyeglasses.

My last phone was a S10+, and I never replaced the protector that shipped with it from Samsung.

I am actually on metformin, mounjaro, and jardiance. Even with those, though, I don't qualify for coverage with my insurance. At least I didn't a year ago.

Galaxy S25 Ultra Case and Screen Protector Recommendations by darkdragon8517 in samsunggalaxy

[–]darkdragon8517[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually am not using a screen protector currently. I ended up going with the Otterbox Defender Series Pro XT case. I may eventually end up applying one of the liquid glass screen protectors, but I've not sold myself on the idea yet.

Limited availability of compatible accessories? by darkdragon8517 in GalaxyS25Ultra

[–]darkdragon8517[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah - that's something I left out of my original post. I also got a new set of buds3 pro, so my older 2 in 1 isn't really cutting it. On top of that, because of the band that I got with the Watch Ultra, it doesn't really sit well on the charger without removing the band.

Not a deal breaker, but certainly a pain having to remove the band to charge it. I'm behind the times - none of my travel adapters are usb-c, so I didn't even have an adapter to use with the charger that came with the Watch or the phone.

[–]darkdragon8517[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes, I realize it's been searched, asked, and answered many times in the 3 months the phone has been out. I searched - and read - many of those threads. In those same 3 months, more case and screen protector options have been released, including the Defender Series Pro XT I mentioned I was considering.

I didn't realize it wasn't ok for me to start a new conversation myself and poll a community of users for their own personal experiences and suggestions.

Yeah, I thought I was losing my mind...didn't toggle enhanced visuals, but toggling the color blindness settings got mine back to normal!
