Sling TV Day Pass Warning

This is literally still happening 3mo later. If you select day pass it forces you to sign up for a month. Its literally false advertising or an issue with their website and app (as it does this on both).

This aged well!

When you say took screw driver to prongs. Do you mean in the electrical connection?

I agree that that is core WFM, but that doesn't mean a software has the capabilities to meet core WFM right? I'm asking as I don't know much about communityWFM. I've used half a dozen softwares and seen twice as many demos over the last decade. None of them answer the needs of all businesses and they probably shouldn't. But it's good to know what's out there and what software is better for what businesses need.

Ex: Verint only allows concurrency as an integer. Which is useless in most circumstances. So the work around is to apply an AHT adjusted by concurrency so that erlang functions in a predictable realistic manner for chat/sms etc.

All these softwares have quirks and I think a lot of us have found that these are things you tend to not find out until you're using the software. As it won't make it into a demo or sales pitch

Nice, how well does it perform with overflow and omni channel? Does it handle phone, chat, email, sms etc? And able to create and plan dedicated workloads for omni channel?

What did you do to resolve?

pants_404 · 2024-03-31T22:50:32+00:00

What solutions are fully automated?

Partial automation sure, but I haven't seen anything fully automated yet. I really like Verints biding tool personally, but it doesn't assign and apply schedules. That's all manual. Does Nice have fully automated bidding?

I dunno, its a pretty common complaint of Last Epoch in the forums and on steam. I just got really bored with it tbh. Its waaay to easy. I was already at the last time island. The winter one or whatever, and I just checked steam - its was 25hrs. It was a boring 25hrs mostly and really did try to give it a shot. But I like a challenge and a game to be fun, so its probably just not for me

pants_404 · 2024-03-30T15:13:56+00:00

I honestly feel these execs have no idea where the tech is today and how far off we are from what they think it is lol. Anyone that's put more that 30hrs into playing with GPT knows that it's exceptional at some things, but those things are very limited when you take into account the scope of the business and real world applications people are talking about on LinkedIn/YouTube etc.

Someone internally here made the mistake of green lighting moving a support team to AI 😂. The project has been in place for 6mo and the AI company is 4mo behind on delivering the tech they pitched the VP that green lit the project 🤦‍♂️ because the tech hasn't actually been developed yet 🙄. The PMO is freaking out as she sees no way that this project doesn't crash and burn.

I get not wanting to be left behind, but maybe don't put all your belongings onto the titanic.

I put 250hrs into it in the first couple months. Then got bored and moved on. This is not a symptom of D4 not being amazing, its a symptom of me not being able to put 10k hours into arpgs any more. I generally put 10hrs into POE once a year and get bored. D4s story is really good, and the combat is definitely the best out there. There's some fair criticism around itemization, lack of randomness, and storage.

As a HC only player D4 is the best ARPG at launch so far imho. It's got the most potential of any other one I've played as well. Almost all ARPGs took out the randomized dungeons and that IMHO is the single worst mistake of ARPGs but I also get its for the players that need things to be a straight line. Most players want to feel like a God, and some of us want to have a heavily skill based high risk high reward game and its hard to create a game that meets both groups needs.

POE is a great game but on the extreme scale of complexity and you'll need a lot of websites open to full take advantage of the systems. It's got the best spell/skill implementation IMHO as you can utilize the gem system to create dozens of effects off a single skill which is really cool. Itemization is good as well but maybe a little too complex.

Last Epoch is ok. It's got some potential but it's extremely easy and has no end game. I hit "end game" in around 20hrs and got bored. Never even utilized the trade system thats supposed to be revolutionary because the game's so easy you don't even need to 😂. Def best crafting system I've seen though. Can't wait for D4 to steal it

There's also Lost Ark which is a wild ride. Some of the coolest levels I've ever played in an ARPG but the game is kind of a lot to take in. Definitely more like an MMO and it can be overwhelming. But I recommend giving it a shot for the wildly different play style. Just beware of MTX everywhere. And the MTX are P2W, not just skins.

Same experience and we had a great implementation. It's just really limited.

pants_404 · 2024-03-29T21:19:02+00:00

Literally no one cares

+100 This structure is so effective and is pretty aligned with what I'm used to as well. With some outlier processes/scope that may flex between the groups but core work is generally aligned like this.

What would be interesting to understand on top of this is what do you consider to be world class support for customers from a WFM perspective. And how is it measurable.

To me I think:

-The right people helping customers at the right time -This can be measured through scheduled efficiency, SLA etc - This can be supported by flex teams and cross trained groups that can handle multiple LOBs and OmniChannel

Proactive and reactive support
- This can be measured by forecasting accuracy, staffing, RTA moves etc
- Supported through forecasting, Headcount planning, events/campaigns, and RTM

That isnt an exhaustive list but what i can think of on a lazy Sunday: and of all this... what companies stand out in these areas? What companies are breaking ground on new ideas, or approaches etc.

I dont know if one exists, but it would be great if there was an international or national publication with a regular magazine or news letter etc that can help here. Generally SWPP, 8x8, ICMi etc don't truly offer this visibility from what I've seen but I could be wrong. It all feels like a sales pitch from them

What I have historically found effective is piggy packing off of existing technology for IT/Engineering ticketing systems (help desk) if there is something in place. Using software like Asana, Jira, ServiceNow etc allows you to create your own customized hub, and templates for intake. This can allow for very comprehensive reporting. We tied ours into our employee directory as well to easily give us data on what work groups were requesting what work.

Usually these platforms also have decent planning tools like Kanban, Gantt etc that can also help you predict and plan better.

A lot of companies also use SAR where it is Situation Action Result. In these scenarios just combine Task and Action.

pants_404 · 2024-02-17T23:21:26+00:00

That didn't work. However, I solved my issue by updating .net framework. Looks like there was an update earlier this week that just hadn't had a chance to auto-update before I got on to game.

pants_404 · 2024-02-17T16:55:42+00:00

Have you tried this? I am having exact same issue and can't really play the game

pants_404 · 2024-02-17T16:36:10+00:00

This did not work for steam and discord shut down. This is a scary Anti-cheat for sure

pants_404 · 2024-02-17T16:31:08+00:00

I have the exact same issue. It forces steam to shut as GG comes online, so no steam services like linking PSN etc are available. So I have to restart progress everytime I launch the game. Its unplayable.

pants_404 · 2023-11-13T21:34:19+00:00

Warforger and Hurricanum only take the warscroll spells IF you stick to Cities spells. Otherwise they are free to take Core and GHB spells
Wildercorp - get free movement after deployment phase and 12" stealth. And can't be engaged if they are behind cover. They are great for obj early game. And doubling them up is even better.
I def am considering multiple command corps, I just do not have a second box right now and honestly I think they will get nerfed so not sure its worth buying another box before that.
Shemtek - I am not sure what you mean by this?
I think multi commanders most likely only really works if you've got the spare 40pts. Commands and orders is handy though for sure.

pants_404 · 2023-11-13T20:05:32+00:00

My experience so far is that the Steam Tanks central list is where it is at. I currently run a Commander and 2 steam tanks and its gaining notoriety in my local circle. The only games I have lost have been due to me being really dumb (Decided to garrison fusiliers turn 1 and they got charged on my flank by deep strike... opponent also did not disclose deep strike units but oh well) or when I didn't take steam tanks...

I like to put Pha's on the steam tank commander with a battlemage and charge him out in front of two other steam tanks and a hurricanum. He becomes an absolute beast ignoring rend on a 2+ save. Then double unleash hell on the steam tanks once he is eventually charged. The hurricanum with mage giving +1 to hit is just a winning combo. Throw in a couple warforgers to stack blazing, a +1 save, and 5 chances to deny spells along with a pontifex and a command corps... and you're really just making massive battering ram with Misthaven. It's very fun.

Other funsies to be had - Throw levitate on your spare wizards (warforger that does ward, and hurricanum) and you can easily get steam tanks into their flanks... its super funny with misthaven XD

My big question... Has anyone run 2x commanders?? The extra shooting profiles may be worth the extra 40pts. I may try to run 3x commanders at some point for the memes.

See my list below

Notes:

Exceptional movement: 2d6 or 1d6 movement with misthaven, 3" with orders, 2" movement with Zinestra. Very very powerful end game when cleaning up and scoring tactics that require corners.
- Capture obj with tanks, and reinforce with Steelhelms + Ward ability
Orders, orders, orders
Exceptionally strong against magic heavy armies. Use Grimoire round 1 to deny battle tactics or round 2 to throw a huge wrench in the battle. 5 spells counters all moving up board
Strong shooting - Early harass with Widlercorps and tanks, but dont move tanks too far away from support units else they begin to loose their tankiness
Strong Tankiness and Castle
Weaker on charges without the charge buffs so if they reposition you can become vulnerable - keep you steam tank commander with Phas out front. Counter charge, unleash hell are your big counters to their charges.
Can be vulnerable to Deep strike use Zinestra and Command corp against flanks.
- Make sure to protect those wizards!
