* BadExportForYou: The English releases for ''Beyond the Myth'' and ''Nexus'' both suffer from broken QR code generation rendering it difficult, if not impossible, to scan other players' guild cards.

Combined these problems make it exceptionally difficult to get a good collection of guild cards, and in the case of ''Nexus'' makes unlocking Vampires much harder than originally intended.
