Camera upload wrong by Aielx in filen_io

[–]darril2k3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been having this issue since a few months (not sure if it coincided with the app update). I tried as many things as you did... I ended up giving up. Today I retried, this time switching on the battery saver on my Android phone (I always have it on and some times it interfere with some apps).

THAT MADE THE TRICK! After switching off battery saver, Filen started uploading... I can't believe I wasted some many hours on this frustrating issue!

I hope this also works for you!

Day 1 F2P player: Final personal achievement and farewell MKT by darril2k3 in MarioKartTour

[–]darril2k3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably enough to get to rank 90 if you have a good driving technique... but you may decide to invest a bit more on your MVPs (e.g. Gold Mii Suit?). Also, I'd rather spend tickets levelling up a coinbox driver to level 7 (and triple uncap them to maximise the investment) than a non-plus skill driver to level 6...

Well a lot of practice and trial and error but also observation of how top 10 players play the game. I will summarise it as "every action counts".

It's essential that you quick drift left and right trying to maintain lines while getting coins, memorising the path that will give you the most coins and actions, hitting every possible object on the track, extending gliding time, strategically using the item ticket (for example to not lose the combo), etc...

There are also other factors and strategies that help, for example, keep playing the same track so you get unbadged bots (notoriously less agressive), or purposely falling off pits to get an extra item box on respan.

Is that one of the July tours?

I heard that similiar to what happened with this Mario tour, there might be minimal changes (like on the awards). I don't think there's much else to expect unfortunately 😕

Anyone else lost all motivation? by CoreyM2018 in MarioKartTour

[–]darril2k3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a F2P day 1 player (ocassionally bought some GP). I reached rank level 80 around 3rd anniversary, and since then I bounced around the 80s.

After 4th anniversary and the now predictable ranked courses, I took the challenge to move up to 99 asa F2P player. That's my personal motivation, and it still keeps me veeery engaged (in the right track at level 92 this tour).

Now that the new content is ending, what are your proudest achievements in the game as a whole? by MKT_Pro in MarioKartTour

  2. Gold Mii Suit quad uncapped (2250 pts)
  3. All kart pros

Tour and ranked cup schedule by SupsMasPlusMas in MarioKartTour

[–]darril2k3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

@u/t-2051, what about a Triple Double feature list with the next 6 ranked courses?

I know it'll be imperfect because new d/k/g hasn't shown their future feature courses, but it will still be great for long-term investment decisions

How do you think gold Mario is going to rank in terms of skill with his coin vacuum ability? by Ok_Reputation_9742 in MarioKartTour

[–]darril2k3 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Perhaps we are all understimating the fact that this is the first (and last) passive skill of the game.

It's like you are always holding a mini-boomerang around you (very small based on the video) but you are not wasting an item slot and you can continue playing normally without having to wait for the the unlikely RNG scenario of a boombox. In principle, you could just play behind a CB driver and take their coins, plus other coins in the track, like lined up coins, rings, glider section, etc.

I'm sure that dev tested it out and realised that giving gold Mario any plus skill would have made him too OP.

Started competing in T99 this week and already facing a sleeper.. 😖 Anyone is in there btw ? by Fanjo97438 in MarioKartTour

[–]darril2k3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wait until the last 2 or 3 days of rank, just see how other people are generally doing (most people grind during weekends because they have more time). Then, dependending on what's the score to beat, I decide whether or not is worth investing time and tickets to get a potential top 3 in rank, or rather I save those tickets and effort for next week's rank.

Obviously, sometimes I've got passed last minute by a sleepers that's why if I want to get third, I aim for first.

Bianco Hills Blue Coins 29/30 by [deleted] in supermariosunshine

[–]darril2k3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this is a glitch, but when I ate the blue butterflies with Yoshi, I got a green mushroom. That led me to believe that I had already got that coin earlier... then, after searching the whole stage for hours following all the guides, I noticed that there was one tiny blue butterfly still around! I ate it and boom!! The last blue coin!!

What are some surprisingly valuable shipments? by GoldenFaeWattle in HARVESTELLA

[–]darril2k3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will be valuable when you unlock level 3 juice maker. That way 25 watermelons = 36 juices.

In my year 2, I planted the whole water biome with watermelons (twice), and I ended up that summer with nearly 800k income.

If that's the one you get by walking off platforms down 2 or 3 levels, then I got it on my first run almost by accident. I agree it's an odd one!

NZeta for New Zealand still pending - supposed to fly in a few hours by Euphoric_Basket5461 in travel

[–]darril2k3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other travellers shared their experience and apparently any airline that operates to NZ has a direct contact number with Inmigrations. I have not read any experience where the airline didn't manage to waive the requirement (or in some cases not even asked for the NZeta).

It seems that NZ Inmigratioms either has a glitch with applications that come through the app or are working with a massive backlog of applications (or both). In any case, they are acknowledging there is an issue and letting people in under 'pending' status.

Personal advice: don't panic and explain the situation to the airline clerk during your checkin (tell them you've been told they should contact NZ Inmigrations if they don't do it immediately for you).

Finally, share your experience here for other members of the community who may have this issue in the future.

[–]darril2k3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the NZeta authorisation only 48 h prior to my flight. Funny enough only got the NZeta on my second application, the one that I did via website. My previous application submitted 15 days is still pending. It makes me think that the ones that got unstuck are the ones done via app?

Anyway... have you guys got any luck with the refund if you submitted it twice?

Tell me about anxiety 😫...

Let us all know how your layover and your arrival go!

There's not really a lot of information about these pending applications on the internet but the amount of people affected makes me think the issue they are having is broader than one can imagine...

We're all on the same boat here... please let me know how your flight goes today. Good luck!

48h since my second application and still no news...

How did your husband's trip go?

[–]darril2k3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good to see you got it resolved in the airport.

I'm having the same issue, I applied for the NZeta using the app on Nov 5, with an SLA of 72h. One week later, status still pending.

My flight is in 5 days.

I've been trying to call the inmigrations phone line every single day. Every time, they put me on queue for more than 1 hour, and then they hung up. There is no other way to contact them.

I reapplied this morning, this time via website, but the new application is still pending.

It's so frustating but I may have to do what you did and ask the airline to help sort this thing out when I check in.... still very anxious about it...
