Not to be That Guy, but

Too late :)

We're still looking. Not that I think there are other people gaming in the entirety of the NYC area. But hope springs eternal.

I finally had my new order for the remainder of the July stuff created a few hours ago, thirteen days after I wrote to customer service. Had everything shipped at once, I'd have gotten my subscriber discount on shipping; with neither of the the two split orders meeting the required amount I'm ending up paying almost thirty dollars to ship both packages.

I hope everyone still waiting gets some resolution soon.

Customer service has given our warehouse team the green-light to begin shipping.

And those of us still waiting coming up on six weeks for word on our July subscriptions? At some point will we hear *any* response to emails sent to customer service?

Still waiting to hear anything about my July subscription that never was sent out. Ticket ID is 164095. Complete radio silence since Aug 2nd when I emailed customer service.

Like others, I've now emailed customer service. No reply 24 hours later.

I know things are busy. It does not take an extraordinary amount of time to address this. The silence is becoming deafening.

I really wish we could get a response of any sort about this. No matter if it's "OMG, we'll get this fixed immediately" or "We just ask everyone to be patient until we wrap up Gen Con", at least we all wouldn't be wondering if anyone is even aware there is an issue.

I'm curious what is backordered? The two new subscriptions I added resulted in a separate order being generated and RedShift Rally being sent out already. The Lost Omens Special Edition sub was tied to the new order. Surely something that just came out for this months sub and nonsub purchases isn't already on backorder?

Pathfinder Dark Archive Pocket Edition (from sidecart)
Starfinder Pact Worlds Pocket Edition (from sidecart)
Pathfinder Lost Omens: World Guide Special Edition (moved to a separate order)
Starfinder Adventure: Redshift Rally (moved to a separate order)
S Pathfinder Dark Archive
S Pathfinder Dark Archive Special Edition
S Starfinder Flip-Mat: Star Knight Starships
S Pathfinder Adventure Path #181: Zombie Feast (Blood Lords 1 of 6)

My original order was for Redshift Rally, Dark Archive standard, Star Knight Starships map, and AP #181. Redshift became a separate order when I added the new subscription and shipped already too.

Sadly, this wouldn't be the first time something got glitchy with an order this time of year. I don't mind that the occasional accident happens, just so long as everyone knows there's really a problem. Hate to think twenty days after my order was created I'm still waiting because a computer is saying I'm not supposed to be getting my subscription.

The CS Team has solved the last batch of problems and communicated to me!

Thank you, CS Team and Warehouse Team! Here is to more relaxed times!

My watch has ended!

Mine hasn't. :-(

Since you seem to be in the same boat as I am at the moment, would you mind checking to see if your pending order has a message that it's "Waiting for backordered product(s)" near the bottom? I just noticed mine does, and I'm curious if my order isn't being filled because of a glitch.

I'm waiting to see what happens with the two items that *were* in my order but are now in my sidecart because I started two new subs. Not to mention the two things that I pre-ordered which aren't available yet, but are not in my sidecart where they should be, because the orders think they're "backordered". What I know for sure is that you can't trust your order history in between the time they put out the authorization email and the time they actually ship your order. Which I'm beginning to wonder if that might not be some time after GenCon.

If it helps? I had the same thing happen with an item when I started a new subscription. That book shipped by itself yesterday; I'm still waiting for the original order to ship out.

Looking for 2-3 reasonably sane folks to join a regular (once every 3-4 weeks) weekend game. The ideal is Pathfinder 2E, CoC 7E a very near silver medal. The bronze is any of a dozen other games sitting fallow across from me, and dozens more packed that are easily taken out. We just want to get a good game going ("we" being myself and someone I work with; we're both teachers, so gaming during the week isn't feasible from September to June).

Please be willing to make the trip up here to the Shire (I'm conveniently near both the 1 and 4 trains). Also, to save everyone time, there's no place at my gaming table if your sociopolitical views fall in the red end of the spectrum.

There's no need to be sorry. You all have done amazing work in impossible times. This book is a masterpiece.

My 7 books haven't shipped yet. It's been more than one week since the order completed. Is that normal?

I'm not sure what "normal" looks like anymore. :) This is the second time in three months that my subscription shipment has vanished off the radar for over a week once it left Paizo. Such are the times we're living in. Just try to be patient (as difficult as I know that can be) and they will get you fixed up.

It's reassuring to know other people are still waiting. I'm sure customer service is doing their level best in mad times. Being a subscriber since Pathfinder #1 and years of Dragon magazine before that, there's never been a moment when I've had reason to believe Paizo's customer service wasn't the cat's meow.

Are orders still shipping out? Just like to make sure I didn't slip through a crack.

Hi IconoclasticScream,

I have moved your sidecart item to your subscription order and you should see a new confirmation email shortly. Thanks for your patience!

Just saw the confirmation email. Thank you very much :)

Is it too late to add 36264256 with 36244310? If it's not, would someone please combine the two? If it is, no big deal. Thanks. :)

Still waiting too, and having the worst time getting on the website at all.

It seems this post might have slipped through the cracks and that's okay. I got my pending shipment email last night and, a few deep breaths later, it's not a big deal. So please disregard this request.

Simply can't believe I just did this. This is what the last ten months of teaching does to a person.

I created this order to ship with my next subscription, not realizing the next subscription was the "GenCon" stuff. Since that's already going to be on the hefty size, I think I'd rather hold off on these for a while.

If this order could be cancelled I'd appreciate it.

Unbelievably, the original replacement shipment was delivered this morning. If it's not too late you can cancel the replacement replacement order, #7694181. Thanks again for everything!

Hello IconoclasticScream,

The order is significantly outside of its estimated shipping window. Since it has still not arrived to you, I have a set up a replacement for the order in your sidecart. We are going to be generating subscription orders for February tomorrow. Please let us know if the original order arrives in the meantime. Thank you!

Thanks, and will do. And thanks again!

Is it weird that since UPS dropped the package off to USPS on January 26 there's been no further updates? So far, no delivery. :/

Just a minor thing. The post office just dropped off the order, and when I was flipping through everything I noticed that one of the two Vilderaro pawns was missing from the sheet in my Against the Aeon Throne Pawn Collection.

This week, 88 customers received (or will receive today) an additional email saying that Amazon was unable to ship your order, so we are fulfilling it ourselves. (I am still investigating why these 88 orders didn't get handled as expected.)

Just found my email. Thanks, Vic, sincerely. Paizo's customer service is always top-notch.

So I was definitely one of the few that Amazon did not get to. Paizo took over my order and sending it to me from their warehouse directly.

How did you find out?

I guess I can only assume that I'm one of the unlucky souls whose books haven't been packed for shipping yet? I've yet to get any shipping update from Amazon, and there are no packages scheduled for delivery from USPS, FedEx, or UPS.

After I placed an order here for all of the playtest items, on a goof I ordered a copy of the softcover rulebook to pass around the table directly from Amazon.

The copy I ordered from Amazon arrived on Thursday morning. I've yet to receive an email that the order placed through Paizo has shipped.

Amazon, you move in mysterious ways.

Well, in the case of your Desna example the starknife is a better weapon than any of the equivalent basic weapons in terms of damage.

If your class isn't normally proficient with anything but basic weapons...giving it to them for free is giving them free damage.

No, I wouldn't do it at all.

But... a level 1 tactical starknife does 1d4 damage. A level 0 club from the basic melee weapons does 1d6. And the level 1 tactical spear from the basic melee list does 1d6, and has the block feature over the features of a starknife.

Even if the favored weapon was, say, a longsword, doing 1d8 damage, even in the unlikely chance that someone builds an envoy, mechanic, mystic, operative, or technomancer priest and decides to dump points into Strength for a bonus to hit rather than a more important ability score for the class, they're still going to have lesser BAB to deal with. So I guess I'm still not seeing the "bunch of free stuff" being given away for free.

Besides, I really was hoping to get some insight into what folks thought would be the favored weapons of the new deities, not debate crunch stuff.

Weapon Proficiency is a lot more important in Starfinder than Pathfinder. I wouldn't advise doing this.

How does allowing a character access to proficiency in a single weapon unbalance the game?

So a little while ago I set out to make my first Starfinder character, and, being a creature of habit whose first character in any fantasy game is a cleric-type, decided to make a shirren mystic priest. As my first Pathfinder character was a cleric of Desna, my little shirren was also going to be her follower. Everything was copcetic until I got to equipping him.

Mystics are proficient in basic melee weapons only.

Starknives are advanced melee.

And right there on page 91 is a Desnan Star Shaman with a starknife, and Advanced Melee Weapon Proficiency isn't a suggested feat.

House ruling a single favored weapon for mystics and priests is about the most innocuous thing in the world (that Star Shaman picture virtually implies it should be that way). But... what would the favored weapons of Damoritosh, the Devourer, Eloritu, Hylax, Ibra, Oras, Talvet, Triune. Weydan, and Yaraesa be?

Hey folks,

Sorry about that! There were a handful of comic orders that were able to ship out before we could stop them. For both of your orders, I've refunded the shipping cost back to your account in the form of store credit, and you should see that available immediately.

Please let me know if there are any further questions or concerns that you may have in the meantime, and I'll be glad to help.

Thanks, and have a great evening!
-Katina

Thanks! You guys never cease rock. :)

I knew I probably wasn't the only one with this problem. :) It's Order 4468110.

Just in case something's glitchy, same thing here.

There's fantastic dialogue and insane gibberish about the King in Yellow and Carcosa in the first season of True Detective that could easily be lifted.

IconoclasticScream,

Your subscription should be fixed now. If anything seems wrong, please let us know.

Indeed it is. Thanks! :)

I still seem to be missing the Accessories subscription.

Sorry if this is more chaff clogging up the thread, but I'm also having the issue with my Starfinder Accessories subscription that other folks are. It's not showing up on my subscriptions pages, but it is showing that I placed an order for it.

Is this spam?

Not that I'm aware of.

Nothing here for the gamers really, but I thought there might be a few "creatures of the night" types who would dig this. Thanks for checking it out. :)

Beautiful Freak: Drop the soap & get freaky clean!

I remember going back and forth for a few days over the choice of a store credit for my remaining Dragon subscription or hopping on Pathfinder. Looking at a book case overflowing with 3E D&D at the time, I can recall thinking that if I went with Pathfinder in a few years it would be that taking up precious space in a NYC apartment. But the RotRL Player's Guide was just too awesome to ignore. A decade later, I'm still thinking I made the right choice.

I think something went a little wonky when the orders were being spawned. I've got the comic subscription set to ship with my monthly order.

The class background tables (1-32 to 1-49) have helped a number of players I've worked with flesh out background when they weren't certain of the direction they should go with. With all of the new classes that have come out since Ultimate Campaign was released, is there any chance we might see similar tables for those classes not represented here?

I've been trying to get a Bronx game together for years.

Oh, the Priority shipping is fine- I like being able to track it, and almost without exception the packages are here from Paizo in two days. Thanks so much for the help. :)

Hi there... if it's possible I wanted to see if this order could be merged with my upcoming subscription order (3978813). If it's too late, no worries. :)

Fantastic :) Thanks so much

I was off on vacation so I'm just getting around to opening my latest subscription order. The print version of We Be Goblins Free! wasn't included with the shipment. No problem at all with it being sent in my August stuff. Thanks :)

Got it. Thanks much. :)

Will it make sense to combine these orders? The Shackled City book is hefty, so I'm not sure if I'd come ahead in shipping if I combine the two orders. If it would be a little cheaper to put the orders together, could someone please do that? If it won't make a difference, they can go out as separate orders.

Thanks :)
