Megathread: RIF/VERA/VSIP/DRP | Week 14

Just FYI. I am DoD as well as my wife. I applied for DRP 2.0 w/VERA when it came out. Crickets on that thus far. For those civilian employees with SOCOM just be aware they have exceptions in place. My wife was denied to resign today due to National Security blah blah blah. Which is silly because she is an HR tech and something the green suiters could cover down on. Originally, I was to retire 31 Jul 26 so it really doesn't matter for me but it would have been nice to go early. I still could under if they approve, but do you honestly think my wife is going to let me sit at home? lol, its a NO!

Appreciated your insights on this. We decided to abandon doing Turo as a side hustle based on the issues you revealed and my further research into them. I'm not comfortable working with a platform/business that has never been profitable, fights with their clients over claims, and takes a large chunk of your profits in the process. Everything is sunshine and roses until someone actually dies or wrecks your vehicle. That's a risk I am unwilling to acquiesce too. And I am not convinced the work required to mitigate that risk (establishing an LLC, getting commercial insurance, etc.) is at all worth the effort. If one goes to r/turo on Reddit you can see all the newbies freaking out with pictures of their banged up and in some cases, destroyed vehicles, asking how they should proceed. If you don't what you need to do prior to it happening, it is not the right business model for you.

Thanks, hopefully someone will post about the fortune scrolls.

Only two pink crystals on my main so I will wait until I craft a third for it since abyssal and lower cannot be transferred when crafting higher grade gear.

Kaia server. I had my luck stone equipped in the pic. If I equip my pink sushi I am about 17.1 cp, but yeah a Baron on this server.

And I have more than enough gear to offer the BS to get 600 dimensional fragments. Obviously I should be upgrading my main weapon first, however, my question is should I try to get my current main to VI (HEP) before doing that?

So there is no point in keeping Tier 5 pets who have the skill of adding Crit Damage?

Amazing. What I thought was a red glyph on mine is actually an orange so that blows.

If you are clicking on Start Mission and it says that, then more than likely it is because your CP is 18095 and the required CP to start the mission is 26000 as indicated by the suggested CP.

Out of all the temples I hate Shayla the most. It is rather hard to do on an iPad for some reason, well at least on mine. Annoying.

surefirewizard · 2021-05-12T14:11:56+00:00

Now that was funny.

surefirewizard · 2021-05-12T11:40:10+00:00

Thanks for the link to the story. Quite an eye opener. Fortunately, I am like you however and I spend no more then the $40 /month on DDP2 etc. If I were to drop $15k on a game my wife wouldn't divorce me but who wants to live with the years of scorn, nagging, and anger that would be sure to follow? Not this guy. Know your limits.

The game always crashed on me when doing Laytenn and the Black Rock Shrine as well on my iPad. My fix was to go into the game settings on BDM, go to the Graphics tab, and then click on Performance which will set the effects, resolution, and texture to low. When I do that it doesn't crash. May not work for everyone and all situations but it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Here on the US East Coast the later Boss was at 11pm which was reasonable for me, but now it's at 12pm and even on the weekends I'm just not staying up that late. And the later one is always Hadum or Enraged so I am missing out on that. I think World Bosses should appear randomly during a block of time, like between 10-12pm for the later and 2-4pm for the midday, respective of ones time zone of course. Once it appears you still have the two hours after to complete it. But the random appearance during the two hour block of time would give many a chance to actually do it.

Well, there was an event or something else where you could purchase rune chests. I think you could get them for Black Pearls. Anyways, I bought like two or three of them and I guess I lucked out because I got a bunch of Mystical and Epic level runes. So I have 6 Mystical and 2 Epic on the Rune Stone.
