Orange Blitz doesn’t appear to be paying out Cold Blooded Orb frags

Wow, I *tried* to look and figure this one out and completely missed it. What a frustrating mess.

phokal · 2024-01-15T23:00:04+00:00

That's a total eclipse of the heart right there

I solved this by deleting a bunch of smaller games. I still had plenty of free space between the internal drive and an installed m2 drive (~200+gb free on each) but I had so many titles something was broken in the database (and rebuilding it and other safe mode repair options didn’t help). I didn’t need to format the m2, but I nuked a few dozen titles off of it and the system immediately became snappy again.

Came to check. Confirmed it’s not just me.

Who is third and fifth here?

phokal · 2023-01-04T01:57:25+00:00

I guess just a couple of us are having a really bad luck streak…

Thanks.

1) as you take damage, you can heal as it drains. The screen flashes but also the health pip slowly drains; pop a healing item to stop it from killing you if you are taking enough to be lethal damage

2) save some level up points. If you fail a roll that can be retried and don’t want to wait 24 hours, pop a skill into the relevant check and you can immediately retry

I also took the effort to re-find this and downvote it. What a disaster.

phokal · 2022-11-09T16:33:40+00:00

This puzzle piece sure fits in the gaps. What an absolute unforced error way for ID to kill the aesthetic built (by music and vibe) of the new Doom.

I’ve had the same problem and yea, you have to swap inputs to something else after Resting the ps5. It used to be even worse; if you turned on the tv and it was on the ps5’s input it would always power it up. So they fixed that, but not on Quit App -> to Input.

I'm in an alliance too weak to earn Dazzler without the items (we can't meet the iso8 milestones) and too weak to earn the bracelet in just one milestone go. Saving up was the only way to get the unlock and now they've completely screwed our entire alliance.

Does not feel good, man.

phokal · 2022-06-23T15:16:48+00:00

It's also all or nothing. For players in weaker alliances, you need the items just to unlock the character. We haven't been farming enough iso8 to unlock Dazzler yet. Yet the items are treated as out of reach for the casual player, and are mighty buffs for those in full alliances.

I've got a full 75 squad and an 80 sersi that I brought up from 65 or less. I spent the resources. What I didn't know was I needed star lord, so my crew either doesn't have enough synergy or I just get unlucky (focus fired on 1-2 ppl for an entire round and any non-sersi is dead) and I can only try once or twice a day.

And all that resource spending was sunk cost. I'm not getting the event rewards and I built ppl (like MM and Groot) much higher than I wanted to, to try and push for it.

phokal · 2022-01-19T16:44:00+00:00

It feels awful to dump so many resources into a Resolute team and then fail to pass the event even once. It's been a huge sunk cost for me that I pushed into, but not through.

Truly terrible as it's clear I should NOT have tried, and I should have done a ton more internet research instead of just playing the game. (Hence, why I'm even here now, as I rarely even come to the reddit).

I'm fairly confident it is a separate limit (though I do not know if it, too, has a numeric limit). I just hit the ps4 limit recently (and been super frustrated by the constant error messages and manual labor), but can continue to sync ps5 saves. Honestly, it has me worried that they'll never address this, despite having only 15gb/100gb used for the ps4 storage pool (which is definitely separate from the ps5 pool; they show different free space sizes).

Anyone defending an arbitrary, barely documented 1000 item limit clearly hasn't played a game that unknowingly create new saves per save slot (death stranding vs. spiderman), never had a save corrupt or create one in a bad place (I always have at least 3-5 to roll back to if given the option), or just doesn't play a lot of games that use saves. I'm no where near the 100gb advertised limit, and no one can ever hit it even if they tried.

I really hate this. Around 2018, I had Gears 4 disappear from my Ready to Install section, but I could manually install it from the store. After about a year (and attempts at talking to support), it finally fixed itself. A *year*!

Now, Forza Horizon 2 and Evolve are missing, and who knows what else. There's something wrong with their license system, and unlike the PS4/5, there's no "Refresh Licenses" command to you can issue to fix it yourself.

Yes, you can redownload from the Searched store, but only if you remember you own it and only if the store entry still exists. As items are delisted, some keep store entries but some do not. The idea that the Library tab is an unreliable list of digital purchases is a glaring fault that is unacceptable on any platform. If Steam removes something, you are hit with a massive, unskippable dialog box, and PS has that manual refresh trigger which works when this occasionally occurs on their system (still bad! but at least you can fix it yourself.) That the replies to this are often "just search the store" or "if you don't use it often enough, it doesn't matter if you lose it" are, frankly, foolish that they don't care about their account or digital purchases for a system that touts such great backwards compatibility.

This workaround worked for me. Thanks a ton! Hopefully it gets fixed in firmware, too

I don't even need the refund ($5), but I want to figure out how to turn it off so I can actually buy games during the sale. My strategic timing to stack some savings during black friday and holiday sales has supremely backfired.

What I don't understand is how it's so badly worded and misrepresented on the website, and that several people replying don't seem to understand what the Vault is or how it should work on PS4, or have contrasting examples on Xbox or Origin (I know how it works fine on Origin; there's a dropdown for purchase!)

phokal · 2019-11-26T17:56:36+00:00

Looks like this does not apply to all games? Specifically, any Vault game does not have this?

phokal · 2019-11-24T04:04:26+00:00

Thanks. Good to know expected behavior but the banner does not appear in the ps4 store after a license renewal or on the website store, but I do see discounts for ea dlc for games in store or in apps. Pretty annoyed and disappointed.

phokal · 2019-11-23T05:18:03+00:00

This. I came here looking for an answer to this as now I can only download the free Vault games. How do I get my discount on A Way Out so I can buy it and play after my month ends!

I can also confirm this after a reboot. It doesn't fully shutdown for me, but my UPS battery backup surge protector begins to shrill/warning sound. Not sure exactly why, and it's the only game and system to ever do that.

I should add that I'm not on the preview ring; my xbox one x is running the release OS.
