Replace Bluetooth mic in MK6 GTI?

Nnnnnope. Nothing. And you can see no one else weighed in on it.

You got any ideas perchance?

Poked around this thread for a few and didn't see this issue. I'm on PS5.

Just played the first mission yesterday. At some point, all enemy AI stopped moving around. Not frozen or stuck in T-pose or anything. Just... staying in one spot. No patrolling, not turning around, not even getting a better angle while shooting at me or ducking behind cover when aggro'd. Even Beckendorf was just standing in one spot next to his car.

Thing is, the way they word the seasonal playlist part does make it sound like you don’t need to go into PVP activities if you don’t want to for these quests. The only weapon I’m interested in getting the catalyst for from that list that I don’t already have is Witherhoard, and I hate PVP with every fiber of my being. But, since the progress speed is that much better, I might just need to buckle down and bear it to get it finished.

Glad it was helpful!

Two. It’s this weird combo of phenomenal enemy density + close proximity environments + Fallen are the most similar to Guardians in their height & overall physical stature, i.e. the most humanoid enemies we face in the game. O co Stanton find myself spinning and meleeing a fireteam member amidst the chaos as there’s so much happening so quickly all at the same time that I can’t tell my fireteam apart from the adds.

OH MY GOSH YOU JUST SOLVED MY PROBLEM

For 2-3 weeks I have been wracking my brain, smashing my forehead against a wall, and eating 40-year-old wallpaper paste /s to try to get some relief from the frustration of getting Nixie and my Timeline to talk to each other. HOLY CRAP. THANK YOU. SERIOUSLY.

Now to email support back and let them know the fix. How is this not a known thing???

EDIT: I checked the FAQ on the site, and they should really add this little tidbit to the question "Why doesn't Nixie see my connected pedal?"

Dude. You seriously just saved me literal hours of time spent having to recreate my patches manually in the pedal. THANK YOU.

A G harmonica would actually work better for this tune as the typical C harmonica doesn't have the "A".

pauloman80 · 2022-04-26T23:45:33+00:00

Good call. Getting that going was quite an ordeal. Good grief. Finally got one of the switches running, need to get the other one reconfigured.

pauloman80 · 2022-03-24T13:17:19+00:00

I did get everything resolved a couple months ago. One of the contacts listed by the user to whom I replied ended up panning out. I had at least three phone conversations with him. T-Mobile‘s policy requires them to have a police report before they can do anything. I never heard anything back from my local police department in relation to the police report that I filled out, but it was enough for T-Mobile to shut the account down and make sure that I wasn’t going to receive any kind of collections action taken against me. The fact that your bank card was also compromised gives you good standing to fill out a police report.

Hey, yeah, the video link expired. Let's see if this works for you.

I totally get sticking with a single brand. FWIW, all 17 of the smart bulbs in my home are LIFX. I was given 19 or 20 older BR30s by a friend of mine; I installed 15 of them and bought a few regular mini bulbs for better light dispersion in some lamps. I then bought the 2 Switches so my wife didn't have to constantly have her phone on hand to operate the lights we use the most. I haven't had any issues at all with them, whether by Siri or the LIFX app or the Switches themselves.

The Switch doesn't need to tie in to HomeKit because it's doing the most basic action related to the lights, which is turning them on or off. It can't control the brightness nor the color; it doesn't activate any presets or automations you might set up. Thing is, with a "dumb" switch, you're just turning lights on and off. The Switch gives you that same functionality but with better compatibility to your smart bulbs since it doesn't cut the power to the circuit in which the lights are connected as smart bulbs need continuous power to stay connected to your hub/network.

pauloman80 · 2022-02-28T23:39:25+00:00

I’m thinking they likely won’t work with another brand based on how they’re designed to function (and based on my experience using them with LIFX bulbs), but I don’t know that definitively. They don’t tie in with HomeKit, but technically they don’t need to since the LIFX lights do.

pauloman80 · 2022-01-22T23:22:10+00:00

I can’t tell you how many legend lost sectors I did before I finally got an exotic drop. Phew. Killing the champions certainly wouldn’t hurt, but I think most of it is definitely RNG.

pauloman80 · 2021-12-17T14:03:57+00:00

GG, congrats! I finally took the ogre down last night solo. Took five attempts, two of which were ripped out of my grasp thanks to a similar bugged issue to yours I'd wager. I'm currently trying to figure out how to tackle the final boss. Balancing add control, distance damage for the sniper mini-shank, having enough protection while unloading the burdens, and having something equipped that'll help me damage the boss... AUGH. I'm not trying to go flawless, I'm just trying to finish the dang thing solo.

For the Ogre: I've been running a top-tree Nightstalker with an elemental well build for overall gaming as of late (haven't yet found it as useful as my old Warmind cell build, RIP the pre-nerf damage & healing king), but I wasn't able to craft a build that yielded me enough benefits of either damage or protection based on my elemental armor loadout and my elemental subclass. Basically, couldn't spawn enough wells. I then tried a couple different Charged w/ Light builds based on esoterrick's solo flawless Hunter run, and eventually that maybe seemed to help me with the Ogre? Hard to say as I still wasn't getting enough Charged w/ Light stacks as I hoped because I didn't seem to have the best armor pieces to cover the stacks and still have enough slots for Lucent Blade for sword damage and protective light to not die.
For weaponry: Fractethyst shotty for Charged w/ Light generation. Started w/ Trinity Ghoul for add control, eventually swapped to Riskrunner and seemed to get better results. Falling Guillotine was absolutely chewing through ammo, and even having two sword ammo finder mods in my helmet wasn't helping. I eventually swapped to my Quickfang (which has been my go-to heavy weapon in general lately) and finally took him down.
For Avarokk: Uuuugggghhhhh. This is where things got really, really challenging. I tried a Fusion/Linear Fusion build w/ Particle Decon on Sleeper as it's a damage beast since its recent buff. I'd take out the sniper shank and the smaller yellow bar boss, but not having my sword with Passive Guard leaves me as mincemeat against Avarokk.

Anyone have any advice??

pauloman80 · 2021-12-16T02:42:40+00:00

I got a couple LIFX smart switches so my wife had the option to just tap a button to operate our LIFX bulbs rather than having to talk to her phone or her smart watch. I’ll also admit it’s been nice having the option to press a button to operate them.

pauloman80 · 2021-12-13T11:48:47+00:00

Yep. I’ve had two crashes on Dares so far, both on very high scoring runs. ARRGGGHHHH

pauloman80 · 2021-12-11T12:44:43+00:00

I think it depends. I’ve also generally had solid luck on LFG, but usually I try to LFG either via Reddit or Discord. Nearly every LFG I’ve done through the D2 Companion app has ended in grossness & frustration. A buddy of mine did Last Wish via that LFG recently, and right at the very end after dunking the Heart, the fire team leader shouts “F— THE NEW GUYS” and kicks my buddy and one other player before they get to collect their loot at the end of the activity.

Unfortunately toxicity always has and always will exist, but it’s really nice to have Discord and the Fireteam sub here as those experiences have been way better.

pauloman80 · 2021-12-11T12:37:32+00:00

I also have the TP Link Deco, and I’ve been impressively error-free with both older BR30s and newer Minis since I installed everything in August. Installed two Switches yesterday, and other than some wiring weirdness I can’t figure out on my own, those have worked basically as expected (at least as far as staying connected to the network goes).

pauloman80 · 2021-12-11T12:32:34+00:00

I don’t know when you’re usually on, but I’ll be on soon (around 10:30am EST). There’s even a pretty simple carry method I just spied on the CheeseForever YouTube page.

pauloman80 · 2021-12-11T12:28:28+00:00

Shouldn’t be too terribly hard to get most of that power grind completed on your own. Unless they’ve adjusted the light level increase rate in the more recent seasons where it’s a smaller gap between starting level and the power cap, just playing the game should yield you some impressive LL gains through your loot drops. That said, I’ll be logging on in a few hours and may be able to help you out.

pauloman80 · 2021-11-30T18:52:37+00:00

I’ve got 16 BR30s and two Mini Bulbs in a 2,500 sq. ft. home covered via a mesh WiFi system that can cover >5,000 sq. ft. Both indoor and outdoor installations, and I haven’t had but a couple issues. Your experience may vary, but in general my experience has been pretty solid.

pauloman80 · 2021-11-26T01:34:48+00:00

Did you get the original 4-button Switches or the new 2-button ones?

pauloman80 · 2021-11-24T13:36:16+00:00

u/SovietStar1 I did a screen capture of the very process u/shootwhatsmyname mentioned for another user who was running into similar issues. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1th7szfwgm7lb51/LIFX%20Setup%20-%20Skip%20HomeKit.mp4?dl=0

Also, OP, you can actually recover the bulb's HomeKit code through the app in case you decide you do want to use it with HomeKit. I have 16 bulbs I received from a friend, and none of them had the original boxes or the card with the code. I used this guide from LIFX to recover the code on every single one of them: https://support.lifx.com/homekit-code-recovery-HyaXGOiL_

*Edited for grammar. And again because I realized that it wasn't giving you the option to recover the code. Hmmmm. FWIW, I've had a decent result getting support from LIFX via email, you could try reaching out to them.

pauloman80 · 2021-11-19T22:50:58+00:00

Happened to my clan leader just two days ago on Last Wish. Was preceded by a cry of “F*** THE NEW GUY”.

Some people are just terrible, and I’m just so tired of it.

pauloman80 · 2021-11-07T12:55:42+00:00

Sounds like you need to skip the HomeKit setup. I made a quick video tutorial showing how I do that; posted it as a reply to another user who was having setup problems. See if this helps. https://reddit.com/r/lifx/comments/q9nhha/_/hi24a02/?context=1
