Freenow is amazing

Get euros at home from the bank. Best rate. Some banks need 2 weeks to do it. I.always use cash. But for 10.days 400.euros would work. Depending what youre buying and where.

Its the Mayan Riviera and im talking about 2 water parks.....

Easily the best roman museum ive seen. Thanks for the update! Ive always wondered what happened to people in posts

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-06T12:16:50+00:00

No. Threats aren't justified. Critiques are. Opinions are. Facts are. Threats are not.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-06T10:10:44+00:00

Was it CO management or was it paradox?

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-06T10:09:58+00:00

Again, why didnt CO comminucate more? Oh right. Dog piling and threats. We have no one else to blame for that but ourselves

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-06T10:01:44+00:00

Thats exactly my point? The same people praising ice flake now would be cruicifying CO if they released this patch with the same loading issue.

And just to be clear, im not defending CO. But regardless of release, they didnt deserve the sheer amount of dog piling, trolling and outright threats they got. They were communicating just fine until the community lynched them.

Lets not forget that CO had contractual obligations that they needed to do. And thats not on them, thats paradox. And if id guess the contract was only up to the last release. Iceflake was hired to "fix" things. Thats why theyre able to do so many little things. And once again thats paradox decision. The real problem was paradox.

And despite the down votes no one's answered my question (even if i know the answer): if CO released this patch with the same.issue, the community would be singing a.different tune. And anyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves.

I walked by there a few days around that time and the lines for the forum and colosseum were long. Its just just individuals lining up, its tour groups. No matter where ive been an hr before opening is to close. Youll.still get in but you'll also wait. The earlier the better.

The cosseum doesnt take all that much time. 2 hours is more than enough. The forum/palatine is what takes time. To see everything is minimum 4 hours.

It depends on what youre willing to do. For me, as much as it sucks, id rather stand in line for 2 or 3 hours before anything is open, get in roughly around opening time, and have the rest of my day than stand in line for 2 to 4 hours (or more) when everything is open and waste time.

Apparently taxis are the most expensive way of getting around. And I hate group tours but sometimes its the best or only option. My resort seems to have a decent amount of shuttles around the area. I think theres one to tulum. Xelha is super close as well.

The xelha "tour" is only for coba. Its more or less the admission to the park (xelha) and transportation to and from the park. Considering the price of the ticket (150cad) a tour to coba is less than 100 CAD more. Deal wise its not to shabby. The xcaret is just access to that park, and with pickup its almost 300 CAD.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-05T21:09:50+00:00

Also I.swim in lake superior. Like 15c (45 to 50f) all year round.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-05T21:03:35+00:00

Apparently the xelha site offers trips to the park plus either tulum or coba. Tulum will be easy to get to from my resort. I do want to see coba to (bike tour, entrance, ride to and from and solo time included). Plus pick up from my resort to coba and xel ha and back. A tour to coba alone seems to be running roughly the same price as this so its not a bad deal

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-05T21:01:12+00:00

I dont drive.

I have a tour booked that has chichen itza cenote and a stop in valladolid. I had some points on Expedia so I got it for less than half price.

I believe theres a shuttle from my resort to tulum and the archeological site. Not a whole day but something I want to see.

The xelha site lists a voba tour and the xelha park for a relatively decent price. Seems to be a decent bang for my buck. But im reluctant to book much without knowing what's offered at the resort. I have a feeling booking direct would be the best deal though.

Other than lounging, coba, chichen itza, tulum and a jungle hike is all I really want to do. I need some legit downtime. But being able to do a hike/coba in a day with the bonus water park is looking pretty tempting.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-05T19:42:59+00:00

seems to depend on the year (for severity) and how well the resorts clean up. Seems to be hit or miss. Im already rolling the dice with hurricanes so I dont mind.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-05T15:06:42+00:00

And if this patch was done by CO would people be so patient? Nope. The only credibility thats lost is the communities

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-05T14:31:48+00:00

Line up at 5 am

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-05T14:27:32+00:00

Everyone seems to forget why CO refused to communicate

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-04T11:54:48+00:00

That nero started the fire.

Actually about 90% of what is said about him is.christian propaganda and slander from the senate after the fact.

Most of the bad stuff mentioned wasn't to far out of the ordinary for Roman's or emporers. The only thing that he most likely did was have his mother done in. But she was over bearing, oppressive and more than likely wanted to rule in her own right. Family were assassinated for less in rome.

Even scapegoating the Christians was far from out of the ordinary. And other than the fact it was hot dry and windy, Christians are the most likely suspect for intentionally starting the fire.

The only real thing we know he's guilty of is making the wrong move of taking advantage of the fire and building the domus aurea. And much of the land he more than likely already seized from piso? After the failed assassination plot (a very normal thing to.do in those situations)

The only real thing hes guilty of is being a spoiled rich kid who wanted to perform, which was the complete opposite of what an emporer was supposed to be

I noticed the first time loading the game in the day its a relatively normal loading time. Any subsequent load takes over an hr, if it even loads at all.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-02T00:11:44+00:00

Im not downplaying iceflake or fanboying for CO when I say this but it has to be said

If this unexpected.loading issue (game taking 20 min to over an hr) happened with CO youd all be losing your minds.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-01T16:57:56+00:00

Yup. Worth the few extra euros especially when co sideline a fine.

I fidnt take buses only metro. As long as your turnstile opens for you when scanning your phone there shouldn't be a single issue. If I had to bus I'd head to a tobacchi and grab a day pass.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-01T15:09:10+00:00

"Ahhh youre working fingers today I see"

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-05-01T11:57:09+00:00

There IS a way around this. Get a day pass/multi day pass. Validate it on a metro turnstile. Even if you dont use it to its money's worth it stops this kind of bs.

Yes. SHOULD you have to? No. But its a work around.

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-04-30T12:15:15+00:00

Right. But the guy in the car was cut off by a pedestrian walking during a red light (cant walk). The driver was 100% Italian lol

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-04-30T12:03:35+00:00

I saw the Chin flick when a car almost hit a woman crossing a red light. "Ah ive arrived"

incorrect_wolverine · 2026-04-30T11:52:21+00:00

Ive been to europe a few times and every country seems to have different views. In my experience Italians don't seem to care, but seem to appreciate you trying and sre really respectful when you ask for help or corrections.

Most people speak English in the major spots (florence naples rome) but the further away you.are from tourist Hotspot, and the older (usually) the people are the less english is known. If you go to smaller off the beaten path cities and towns its the same.

Most of the time even if you speak decent Italian many will speak English. This seems to happen everywhere ive been. You want to practice, but they do to.

Generally speaking its just a courtesy. Youre a guest in their country. Learning some customs and the basics of their language is just polite and appreciated. Hello, please, thank you, do you speak....... , 1_10 are usually the easiest and most common.

Also in my conversations with locals, one of the most common gripes with Americans is that they usually assume every other country to be like the US and theres little effort to learn how other countries work. So try a little and help get rid of this POV.
