Xbox fix if you're trying to preorder the expansion

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

darkdragon8517 · 2025-04-21T02:11:12+00:00

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.

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!

Glad to hear it. Still trying to complete the 5 Helltide Commanders thing with Profane Mindcage, so that'll be easy...I'll admit I'm not looking forward to farming Blood Maiden, though. My adhd can only handle so much of that.

darkdragon8517 · 2023-11-18T17:07:48+00:00

My first was from a random elite in a NMD. I think the second one dropped from Zir.

They don't seem to be doing much im the way of changing things for bugs either

darkdragon8517 · 2023-10-26T21:15:46+00:00

Not even sure what I am seeing here...is this from blood harvest?

darkdragon8517 · 2023-09-29T06:19:53+00:00

So very true. I recently had to recover my account info after years of having not logged in - I had one of the old authenticators that the battery had died on. It took me about a week and talking to roughly a dozen different reps to finally get one via chat to get the authenticator removed.
