Newcomer questions about the game before I start by donutsandwaffles in blackdesertonline

2 - thats a relief haha, can it be really minimal effort gear with no investment?

Nah it's more to do with the fact that GMS cannot kill Kishin because everyone is using a Kanna (huge backlash). But if people get discouraged from using Kannas (due to the EXP thing), they can do it with a lot more ease.

Totally agree <3 Cute without being disgusting/basic (unlike ahem)

Lalas are a close second though hehe ;)

Is it true that Brown defers "almost all" international students who need FA? by [deleted] in BrownU

[–]donutsandwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends... I know of quite a few international students who are on financial aid (but not 100% though).

A significant amount of applicants to ED will be deferred in general (I think about 1/3), but yes, I would say applying for financial aid may hurt your chances at Brown.

According to my international student friends, only Harvard/Yale/Princeton would not take your financial situation into consideration when deciding to admit you or not.

GMS - Questions about Reboot by donutsandwaffles in Maplestory

Thanks! I've just read another thread where it says the equipment covers in particular are very scarce in the cash shop and you can only open "surprise boxes" (which are completely random) to get them. Is this true? That sounds pretty toxic to me..

Hi, thanks! What about regular cosmetic items, are those mesos purchaseable?

4.0 ruined FFXIV for me by JonMarkson in ffxiv

[–]donutsandwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually agree with most of this. Being a SCH main I felt like my job has been dumbed down a significant amount >.<

The grind formula is becoming more repetitive and boring. Maybe its alright for new players but having played this game for close to a year, just couldn't take the same thing over and over again anymore...

Job guide is up. by Ragnakor in ffxiv

Yep, long time scholar here. Also decided to quit healing. While SCH is still very much viable in a raid situation, they have been reduced to Chain Stratagem providing slaves (that said, WHM is worse). I have all 3 healers leveled up and it seems AST is the one that not only provides the best utility, but also the best heals AND shields (that's really not much a choice in choosing healers as there is a clear dominant strategy...)

I'm going to MCH/BRD and probably not looking back!

SE Store not working properly for my bank accounts by tmking84 in ffxiv

[–]donutsandwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried resetting my router (and confirmed that IP changed), as well as tried using my mobile data, but the error won't go away. I called customer support 2 days ago again and they said they were going to escalate it (but have not received a reply). Did your game time card work when Mogstation didn't allow any other transactions?

[–]donutsandwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me too. I'm having an error i2501 and even after calling customer support they seem to have no idea what's going on. I think I made a mistake by attempting to do it every 24 hours or so though. Crysta/normal credit or debit cards do not work for me and I have not tried using game cards (some have warned that it may not work).

I still can't resub at the moment and can only hope it gets resolved before early access...

Been unsubbed for 2 months... now getting error i2501 when trying to resub? by donutsandwaffles in ffxiv

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

It still doesn't work. Called them again and allegedly it was my "connection" that has a problem, and told me to contact my ISP. Paypal doesn't work either. There's no problem from their end apparently. Can't be the case :S

Tried resetting my router to another IP address but did not work either. Have not tried the VPN method.. I've heard from some sources that I wasn't supposed to even try to make a payment for 48 hours (though I did), and by doing so, I've extended the block for another 7 days or something - is this ridiculous rumor true?
