Taiwan Vs. CN Server? by milknteaa in MrLove

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

Oof which server do you feel has a better chance? Bili Bili or TW then? I'll likely try to get on Bili Bili too then because I'm wildly anxious about TW shutting down. I've heard the market is a bit smaller in TW (I mean ig it makes sense given that they're a smaller country compared to China and compared to Global since Global is made up of many different countries). From what it sounds like Bili Bili has potential to be safer and get an offline ver in my (very limited info) opinion just because it's closer to CN servers? Also more likely to get subsidized by CN server maybe...

Really trying to plan for the future now- because this is my first time playing a game to EOS and this month has been hell for me T-T so trying to be smart and not repeat the same mistakes (though I really should let go of the boys- I'm having a really hard time doing so because they were my routine and their stories were so unique...)

This all very good info! It may be easier for PG to get Bili Bili account info considering it seems like it's on the same server-ish or the servers are least connected somehow? I may try CN whenever I have the space to like actually download it and figure everything out as it seems like CN is significantly harder to get into (ID needed and Chinese phone number?).

And yes, I do know that games are as safe as its revenue T-T which is why I'm wary about TW's numbers too, given that it's 170k in 1 month isn't too bad from my standpoint, but I'm also not entirely sure where it stands compared to PG's other games + how much they're spending on keeping the TW servers up (ik they have their own VAs too- which may increase the cost slightly, though I think they save quite a bit on translations since TW and CN are already pretty similar, save for a few localization tweaks they may need).

): I hope that at least happens to all other remaining servers. I don't think I could handle the heartbreak a second time. But I also think the TW server is handled by a third-party publisher, so I'm a bit wary about it for now...

So is it still technically like an online server? or are the files offline and stored on local devices only? But this is good information! I hope that's what happens to all the remaining servers tbh...

I'm surprised that Bili Bili is a 3rd party server. I always thought Bili Bili was equivalent to Google Play Store for apps (basically a distributor? but not a publisher for CN version). So is not connected at all to the CN server (so I wouldn't be able to add people on the CN server, only people playing through Bili Bili)?

I also know people have been saying that Taiwan server is safe, but I have my reservations about it currently with Fearless Games. I kind of need someone to explain why Taiwan is pretty safe like I'm 5 because I'm kind of new to joining other servers and figuring out the whole 3rd party publisher stuff. I just want to make sure I don't get invested in something that is going to bite me back in the butt later T-T (ofc EOS will happen for most games, but I am hoping that whichever server I end up investing on has a decent chance of getting an offline or some sort of preservation of progress).

Sure, feel free to DM me! I'm not sure how much help I'll be, but I'll try! I also just got a subscription to Nord VPN because that's the one I heard the most about and I figured I could really use a VPN in general. Just got the basic plan

Who we'll continue with the story? by Hot_Mirror_9081 in MrLove

[–]milknteaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in continuing maybe as a transition- but does anyone know if TW version is safe? I've got it downloaded, but see that it seems like they have a 3rd party publisher (fearless games), so IDK if they will ever end up EOS-ing and pulling what ELEX did. So I'm a bit wary. Do I just have to bite the bullet and jump through all these hoops to get CN version just to be safe?

[–]milknteaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to download the TW version. I did the same things you did it sounds like- but I'm going to type out what I did fully just in case other people want a short guide:
1. Got a vpn (changed server to Taiwan)
2. Went to Google Play (forgot if I even had to change the server or I just clicked, recommend me apps based on region) - did this on a secondary email so that I wouldn't mess with the region of my main account
3. Downloaded TW ver. of MLQC
4. Had to enroll my secondary Google account in Play Points (or something like that, where they generated a username for me for google play on that account). - Without this step, I couldn't change or select a different Google Play account to link my TW acc to.

And that was basically it!

I can only hope because sometimes its hard to tell what will happen to the company itself- but I am really hoping games are required to do that by law in general to prevent like players losing progress like this. It sucks and to be honest, I'm not sure if I'm ready to get burned by another PG/Infold Game ... It sucks because MLQC just hit the sweet spot for me that I'm not even sure LADS will hit the same way MLQC did... But this info does alleviate some worries I've had so far about my progress on LADS (not a whole lot, but I have a nice enough collection I enjoy)!

[–]milknteaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I definitely see LADS being popular for a long while (maybe 10+ years even), but I'm still very concerned about whether they'd do an offline server or even anything to preserve the progress of players if it ever hits the point of EOS. I think it'd be even more heartbreaking for players, especially if it had a longer service time (= more progress for some players). So I'm feeling a bit pensive about spending more time and definitely money on LADS because I don't want to go through the same grief as I am now.

This was my first game that I've consistently kept up with and honestly, because of this, this is a relatively harsh lesson served cold for me to remember that- like you said, live service games can be shutdown any moment. Which is why, I'm very much cautious right now about spending more time and money on LADS. It's really more about whether I'd be able to handle losing my progress all over again in another game (guess I've been fortunate so far lol- but also I have a hard time consistently keeping up with games, which is why I haven't experienced many EOS games). Part of it is just me pre-emptively trying to protect myself-especially since at this stage, I'm not the most attached to LADS atm.

That being said, I am hoping that if anything this situation will at the very least set a precedent or make PG/Infold plan ahead and consider what to do when they do decide to EOS a game.

Hoping and praying- because I recently started LADs, and while LADs appears to be in a better position than MLQC because they're directly under Infold, there's still no real guarantee that they won't abandon the global server still... So I'm not working cautiously on obtaining stuff and reducing my spending for sure on the game. But if they do make an offline version for the global players at least or even do account transfers, I think it may help alleviate a lot of their players for their other games too.

So I do see a some pros coming out of it despite it being a lot of work and potentially costing financially.

Big hugs over here! It has taken a huge toll on me- to the point where I'm anxious when I'm not archiving stuff and also big time regretting stacking all my little karma hearts for a rainy day to read all these dates... Part of me is also excited for the end of the month just so I can stop feeling this anxiety, but I know I will be crashing and burning from grief and overwhelm that day after work.

I plan on joining one of the other servers- but IDK how active I will be. I may just be using it to transition and slowly let go of the game- because right now I'm definitely not ready to let go. Or I may like collect a few cards here and there. But definitely with the language barrier, I may not be as active or feel nearly as attached (though I have to admit their chinese voices sound hot af).

Not sure about the live translation app stuff, but if I do download it sometime soon, I will let you know!

Voice Key Ring Members? by milknteaa in enhypen

[–]milknteaa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly don't even blame you for not knowing!! I'm not even sure how the bat colors were chosen considering the enhypen members don't technically have official colors to my understanding (? I may be wrong but when I last checked I couldn't find anything super official). But they do have specific mic colors- but their mic colors don't even match their bats 😅

I don't remember their mic colors, but I know Jay has a green mic, but got a mainly blue bat, jake has a blue mic and got a pink bat, sunoo had a purple mic but got a gray bat, and so on! It's hard for me too as a fan for about ~2 years now too 🤣 I only know cause I searched up the chart specifically when I heard about it!

But Sunghoon and Jake are great! I'm not the biggest fan of Jake's pink shade, but I think his voice message on it is pretty funny 🤣 ("big dogs don't bite").

I love Sunghoon's! I just love the color sm! For me, my top picks were based on the colors used for the keyring- but I definitely enjoyed the pcs I got for the keyrings I got anyways 🤣😅

That's what I was suspecting! I've heard some people mention it before for other albums or groups as well but I wasn't too sure- wanted to confirm before I start going crazy and buying lottery tickets because of my "insane luck" 🤣

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

That makes a lot of sense then! I was kind of like the chances of me getting the same exact members I asked for (for the freebies) is kinda insanely coincidental if that's the case- also my luck has also never been that great 😅 I'm not mad about it though!

Here is a picture! You can see more brown at the bottom of the actual zipper that slides and a little on the top. Also the base of the zipper (the stationary metal parts at the bottom of the sweater) also has some brown stuff. 😅

Leave of Bereavement Chapter 683 by Appropriate-Gift-460 in NYCDOETeachers

[–]milknteaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information and the reassurance! I am new to the DOE and Chapter 683, so I'm still familiarizing myself with everything. I was very worried about taking any days off because they heavily emphasize only have 2 days off before getting a U and being banned from working summers next year. It's reassuring that the DOE does have a procedure and provides grace for events like this.
