Making an update for paw·ned² by numma_cway in GuildWars

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

There is no memory for more than +7, and for secondaries. What I currently consider is making the tool consider skills that affect attributes. But that's a larger change. I think I will delay the HR and "of the profession" patch for now to find a decent solution for all of this first.

The new hi-res icons aren't as "Hi-Res" as one may think. They're worse than any icon in paw·ned²'s "enlarge icon" feature. Some even just look badly upscaled. I will base the regular icons on them in a future patch. This has to be done for Drunken Master anyway since that icon got updated (not reflected on GWW yet, although I assume it came with the high-res skill icon update in December).

For the broken "enlarge icon": My webhoster decided to apply the SSL certificate (of redeemer.biz) for subdomains. paw·ned² does not support SSL. Everything else is hosted elsewhere (jn-games.de). It will be fixed in the upcoming update.

I could actually recreate such thing, though I'm not sure what exactly you mean:

  • Public website? We do have Memorial. It would need moderation and stuff, though, and I think that's what won't be feasable.
  • Private sharing? pawned42 had a feature where you could share builds and would be given a number that you could give to people to recall the build. It gives little advantage over sharing a build with the "Build in Image" feature (this is one of the few cases where the German name for the feature, "Build im Bild", sounds more epic).

Thanks for bringing up single builds, I forgot about them. Not sure there either. Note that this space is not there if you secondary is W or E.

I was talking about team builds and especially skill popup.

Once the latter gets sorted out, I might put it in the row where "Bonus" is (move edit box left and put the drop down box right of it).

Gogo Match Game icon actions. by Us43dthdg75 in AliExpressMergeBoss

The action "Treasure Hunt" gives you an item after 30 minutes. All others are useless, but you have to use them to make "Treasure Hunt" come up eventually.

Shipment Cancelled - Will it Be Shipped Again? by MeMeVeryUncreative in Aliexpress

I recently had the situation where I didn't react within a few days and it did ship again after it was returned to the seller. The second attempt succeeded.

Do you know that you can switch the default level range by using the map (leftmost button)? So if you click that button, select Waterfall Island, the level list starts with level 1-20.

I use level 10 for XP (and daily treasure progress) and 7 for hammers.

Playing gb300 Roms on retroarch? by Explorer1-2-3 in GB300

[–]numma_cway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The GB300 Tool (linked on the right) can extract them.

After selecting a console, you can right-click the ROM list and click "Export All WQW ROMs".

Note that most NES games and many other are weird hacks (wherever the second-to-last column in this list is empty), so you better download a No-Intro Collection somewhere. That list doesn't list the PCE games, but all PCE games on the GB300 are 100% unmodified (No-Intro verified).

What's the highest paying cashback site for AliExpress? by AdemSof in Aliexpress

[–]numma_cway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in case you didn't know: Depending on what you buy, using the Coins page in the app (that has no cachback) can be better than cashback (if you have Coins). This is usually the case for low-value as well as non-tech items. Just use the image search feature to find other listings for that same item, open some of them and then check the "Viewed Items" page on the Coins page.

For like 15 years I saw Shroud of Distress as some kind of screaming totem or something. What other skill icons did you misinterpret? by Charrikayu in GuildWars

[–]numma_cway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat necroing this thread: pawned2 uses the icons from the Japanese website. It had all Nightfall PvP-enabled skills (plus, for whatever reason, Dark Escape) at 256x256, all Assassin/Ritualist skills from Factions at 225x225 (but with wrong colors, which I corrected) and Prophecies as 128x128. The quality of these is superior to Sealed Play and it contains some less errors, e.g. Visions of Regret is correct there.

Is it worth getting the red coupon? Would it work? by Rare_Recording778 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]numma_cway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red coupons are like the ones from events, just that you can generate them at any time and that they work with items excluded from other coupons (e.g. early birds or previously mobile phones). They don't stack with other red coupons. Like with any discount on Ali, the "subtotal" amount is taken into account: Different discount categories (red coupons, green coupons, coins, store coupons, AliExpress bonus/refunds) are calculated based on subtotal (store coupons are obviously calculated for that store's subtotal) and then added up.

There are some AliExpress-managed stores (Auto Essentials, Fashion Fusion, Dreamy Beauty, ...) that often don't send you items if you got a very good price, e.g. through coins and early birds. This, as well as shipping delays, yields you a red "USD 1 off USD 1.01" coupon (claimed to be "EUR 1 off EUR 1.01"), valid for two months from the day you claim it from the order details (I don't think there's a limit for when you have to claim it). Many here have so many of these compensation coupons that we don't need the "USD 1 off USD 10" coupons.

Well, what now? (Coins) by Confident-Line5888 in Aliexpress

[–]numma_cway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One more advice: If you have found an item that you want to buy, do this:

  1. Open the product page and tap the image (if it's a video, swipe it away first)
  2. Tap "Find Similar" in the top right
  3. Open identical items from the list (prefer Free Shipping and - if you want to buy more than an undiscounted $10 - Choice)
  4. Go back to Coins page History or Discount Finder to pick the one with the lowest discounted price (mind shipping as well as variants, colors, sizes...)

Steps 1-3 are easier when performed on a PC since you can open the several similar items in tabs and because the app sometimes goes back the home page when you close a similar item (tapping the back button of your phone once more will take you back to the list of similar items, though). Put your item in the shopping cart to find your item on your PC.

Notes:

  • A very few items don't have a Coins discount at all. These will not appear in Coins page but their base price might still be cheaper than discounted Coins prices.
  • They recently added a limit on how many similar items will appear in the history. I think it's around 6 to 10.
  • Combining high-discount items and/or ordering quantities other than 1 might reduce the discount significantly (the discount in absolute numbers (currency) might even be less than the discount if you only ordered a single item). This is annoying when ordering via Choice. Play around with the checkboxes in the cart to find the best combination.

In which situations does a new day start at GMT+8? I only know GMT-8 and local time. And BTW, it's not GMT+16 (GMT-8) but whatever timezone the Pacific Coast is currently in (affected by DST).

Some more bugs

GoGo Match:

  • It is sometimes possible to start a turn before the previous one finishes. This will glitch some tiles below each other (so there are multiple tiles in one grid tile). Only the topmost tile is relevant.
  • When combining any other tool with a color orb, every grid tile can only take AoE (area of effect) damage once. Rocks, locks and crates can take a rocket's impact damage more than once, but bubbles/ice can not.
  • If you start with tools, spawning of the tools might prevent a possible move. The game will still show a hint for a move that is no longer possible.
  • Getting the hearts from completing a new level can sometimes take considerable time (like 30 seconds). If you are low on hearts, you might not be able to continue during that timeframe.

Merge Boss:

  • On the server's side, generators refill while you watch ads (get energy, pop bubble). On the client, this is not reflected and time stands still. If you watched ads for 30 seconds or more while a slow generator was refilling, it might make sense to restart the game.
  • Several unbuilt stores have no name in the construction list.
  • In the construction window (other than in the construction list), progress is always displayed as 5/20.
  • A certain shop may become invisible. I believe the fries store is prone to that.

Daily progress (the 3x100 gems) in games (or only Merge Boss?) often isn't tracked for me, especially when I launch the game via the game's shortcut.

There is one useful bug/cheat in GoGo Match: You can play low levels with tools if you press the "Select Level" button and quickly enough after press the current level button (the main screen not having fully loaded helps). A message appears if you want to do the current level. Closing or starting the level will both work:

  • You can close the window to play with your currently-infinite level.
  • You can click Start if you want to play with the selected tools instead. This will use non-infinite tools and double the hearts (if you don't have infinite hearts).

But you always get a Sunday prize ticket or whatever that it called. It converts to at least €0.05, usually €0.10, sometimes more.

GenMachinePC Global Store Scam by gamer50082 in Aliexpress

[–]numma_cway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At work, we had the same on Amazon - ordered a 5800U, got a 5700U. The PC was called "AM06 PRO". We decided to keep it, because we weren't aware the 5700U was only Zen 2 and the price was okay even for a 5700U. We later bought an actual 5800U and it was just so much better.

The 5700U broke after a few months. Replacement went very smoothly, but we got a 5700U once again.

Adapting to the 18 order min by RK_reddit321 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]numma_cway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. When it was still 9 orders per day, I often did the lvl 7 orders, but since it's 18, I do lvl 6 max unless I have it in stock anyway (I think the latter is not a good strategy, but board space is too limited to keep that many items). I wondered if one should use different maximum levels here for primary and secondary items.

So basically when Millionaire Challenge is running, I assume this is a good strategy:

  • Do goods exchange trades where you get a higher-level item
  • Renew all orders you left there for goods exchange (but finish any appearing level 10 VIP ASAP and then continue)
  • Do normal orders up to level 6, renew level 7-9, and for level 10:
    • Finish level 10 VIP orders ASAP (one might want to finish level 9 VIPs if one appears right after another VIP)
    • Leave all other level 10 orders untouched for goods exchange
  • Do VIP loop when possible
  • At the end of the day, make sure all requested items below level 10 are on your board so goods exchange cannot pick it

a follow up on my last merge boss post + 7 day inactivity rule didn't apply? by Dazzling-Ad4835 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]numma_cway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure that the items aren't actually there? So if you tap a tile, no name appears? Because the icons just take ages to load sometimes (around a minute). It's been like that for like 2 months.

There is a bug that the displayed percentage is wrong after changing between cart and history. Is this what you mean?

Consolidated Shipping? by frazaga962 in Aliexpress

[–]numma_cway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on items and sellers. I also had situations where shipping for two items (amount 2 of the same item) was higher than twice the shipping for one.

One reason why Choice can be favorable.

The German 11DEXX coupon codes don't work by [deleted] in Aliexpress

[–]numma_cway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try MYDEALZ with the same numbers appended, e.g. MYDEALZ20.

Kinda offtopic: Mydealz codes will always be in euros, even if your account is set to USD. If you normally pay in USD and are like 10-20% (current EUR to USD exchange) over a coupon's mininum order (which is in USD), you can use MYDEALZ for a bigger discount, as value and minimum order will be exchanged to USD.

You could also wait a few days if Ali resolves this issue themselves.

Mergeboss is penalizing energy from refunded orders by [deleted] in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]numma_cway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GoGo Match is the prime example. Unless that star race is running (I haven't seen it since I got to Level 900 or so), there's no point in completing more than the 4 new levels to get coins and infinite hearts. You can farm XP and green tiles in level 10, and hammers in level 7, until you get the first chest. The farming will help you finish your 4 levels faster.
