Search this blog, how to accept new assignments (deep rock galactic).

Assignments are like a series of quests in Deep Rock Galactic, and each assignment will require you to complete between 3 and 10 specific mission in the correct order. Most assignments will award you with new weapons, mission types, unlock new features or give you crafting materials, so they are well worth doing. 

You can only have one active assignment at a given time, and must either complete or abandon the assignment before you can start a new one. But how do you accept new assignments?

You can accept new assignments in Deep Rock Galactic by heading to the Assignment Board. This is a desk with a computer on it just next to the Mission Terminal and the Drop Pod. Interact with the computer to get a list of all available assignments that you can begin. 

Keep in mind that once you begin an assignment, you cannot begin on a new one without abandoning the first one or completing it. So if there's a limited edition assignment then you might want to focus on that one first.

MS-DRG Classifications and Software

Section 1886(d) of the Act specifies that the Secretary shall establish a classification system (referred to as DRGs) for inpatient discharges and adjust payments under the IPPS based on appropriate weighting factors assigned to each DRG.  Therefore, under the IPPS, we pay for inpatient hospital services on a rate per discharge basis that varies according to the DRG to which a beneficiary's stay is assigned. The formula used to calculate payment for a specific case multiplies an individual hospital's payment rate per case by the weight of the DRG to which the case is assigned.  Each DRG weight represents the average resources required to care for cases in that particular DRG, relative to the average resources used to treat cases in all DRGs.

Congress recognized that it would be necessary to recalculate the DRG relative weights periodically to account for changes in resource consumption.  Accordingly, section 1886(d)(4)(C) of the Act requires that the Secretary adjust the DRG classifications and relative weights at least annually.  These adjustments are made to reflect changes in treatment patterns, technology, and any other factors that may change the relative use of hospital resources.

Currently, cases are classified into Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRGs) for payment under the IPPS based on the following information reported by the hospital: the principal diagnosis, up to 24 additional diagnoses, and up to 25 procedures performed during the stay.  In a small number of MS-DRGs, classification is also based on the age, sex, and discharge status of the patient.  Effective October 1, 2015, the diagnosis and procedure information is reported by the hospital using codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) and the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS).

For additional information on the MS-DRG system, including yearly reviews and changes to the MS-DRGs, please view prior Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) proposed and final rules located in the left navigational area of this page.

Any MS-DRG related inquiries should be sent to the  [email protected] mailbox. 

PROCESS FOR REQUESTING ANNUAL MS-DRG CLASSIFICATION CHANGES

Effective April 5, 2022, the new electronic intake system, Medicare Electronic Application Request Information System TM (MEARIS TM ), became available as an initial release for users to begin gaining familiarity with a new approach and process to submit MS-DRG classification change requests. MEARIS TM , including the mechanism for submitting MS-DRG classification change requests, can be accessed at: https://mearis.cms.gov .

Accordingly, beginning with the FY 2024 MS-DRG classification change requests, CMS will now only accept such requests submitted via MEARIS TM . Request for annual MS-DRG classification changes submitted through the [email protected] mailbox will no longer be considered.

09/02/2022 Update: We are providing a re-release of the version 40 software to reflect updates that have been made to enhance the performance of the software. These updates do not affect any testing or grouping results.

For both the MS-DRG and MCE Java Mainframe software packages the following changes were made to the executable software.

• The class hierarchy of common class files was name spaced to remove any potential conflict when multiple grouping or editing Java applications are run by a single larger program on the Mainframe
• The Logging Error Message referring to “slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder” has been corrected so this warning no longer appears. (This warning had no effect on the component functionality).
• Please refer to the Sample Environment file in the java folder to add “COBJVMINITOPTIONS=-Djzos.merge.sysout=true” to the Environment file on your USS system. For MS-DRG, refer to folder CMSDRG400_MF_Java_jar. For MCE, refer to folder MCEV400_MF_Java_jar folder.
• The COBOL wrapping programs provided have been enhanced to add “redirectStandardStreams” which allows greater flexibility in the location of log files on the Mainframe system

For the MS-DRG Mainframe reference files the following changes and clarifications are provided.

• For the DXPATERN file, The ‘XXX’ entries were removed from the file; these were placeholders for empty attributes (codes with no attributes for the OPERAND column) and were inadvertently left in.
• For the PRPATERN file, the ‘nonor’ attribute was not in the legacy flat files, but now appears. It is a better representation of the operating room severity levels - the ‘nonor’ attribute is meant to indicate the procedures that are non-operating room procedures. The PRATTLST file was annotated to include this attribute. 
• FORMULA_COLLECTION_ID column removed from the file, it is an internal field that is unnecessary for users.
• There is an attribute in the formulas, called ‘ORPROC’ that appears in many of the DRG formulas. This does not appear in the PRATTLST anywhere. This is meant to indicate codes that are operating room procedures, either extensive (attribute d68) or non-extensive (attribute d477). Replaced all mention of ‘ORPROC’ with ‘d468 OR d477’ in the DRGLOGIC file (both attributes already appear in the PRATTLST file). 
• Definition of Medicare Code Edits V40 (ZIP) : The ICD-10 Definitions of Medicare Code Edits file contains the following: A description of each coding edit with the corresponding code lists as well as all the edits and the code lists effective for FY 2023.

Update 12/22/2021 : The Apache Log4j open-source logging software library is used in the PC and Java based grouping and editing software (MS-DRG Java, MCE Java, MSGMCE). Recently, a vulnerability was discovered in Log4j that could present security issues when running under certain conditions. The Mainframe BAL software is not impacted.

Apache has issued an updated version of Log4j (2.16.0) to fix this issue. The updated software removes any potential association with the vulnerability.

There is no impact or change to any grouping or editing results or data files.

We have provided updated software files in order to remove any potential association with the vulnerability.

MS-DRG and MCE Mainframe Java distribution updates:

• Removed Log4j from the MS-DRG Mainframe and MCE Mainframe Java software packages as this logging is not utilized in this environment
• Updated the documentation for the standalone Java MS-DRG and MCE to reference 2.16.0 of Log4j

Deep Rock Galactic: How to Change Class

New players may find themselves lost on how to change class in Deep Rock Galactic . There are four classes to switch between, each one with its own unique abilities to make use of on assignments. Like any other games with classes, though, you’ll want to try them all out to find the best role for you.

Changing classes in Deep Rock Galactic is easier than you might think, and we’ll go over it as well as why you may not be able to change class in this guide.

How to Change Class in Deep Rock Galactic

If you’ve just started Deep Rock Galactic and are doing the tutorial assignment, you will not be able to change class until you either leave the tutorial or finish it. The tutorial must be done with the Gunner.

There are four total classes in Deep Rock Galactic :

You cannot change class while in an assignment ; you can only change class in the lobby.

Go to your (or any other player’s) quarters and look for the Character Selection terminal , which will be to the right if you’ve just spawned or to the left if you’re coming in from the main area of the lobby. Use the Character Selection terminal then make your selection, and you’ll be able to switch to any other dwarf you’d like!.

It’s worth noting that you can’t change class to one that overlaps another, so if you can’t select a dwarf it’s because someone else in your game is currently playing that class.

There is actually a way to get around DRG not allowing duplicate classes : When loading into another player’s game, you can press the “Q” or “E” keys on PC or the triggers on console to swap classes. This can overwrite the game not normally allowing duplicate classes, but only if you do not choose a class while in a solo lobby beforehand.

URGENT COMPANY BRIEFING

Update changes, season event: meteor impact.

A rogue comet is passing through the system, shedding hundreds of infected meteoroids as the gravitational forces tear it apart. So far, every single one has carried with it a dormant form of Rockpox, and each one represents a clear and present danger to the Hoxxian ecosystem.

Be on the alert for meteor strikes during your normal missions. If one happens during your mission, clear out the impact zone immediately, and get ready to get cracking. Powerful Rock Cracker modules will be sent in from the Space Rig to assist you. These must be hooked up to the meteorite and maintained while they crack it open so you can get at the Plague Hearts inside. But beware the noise is sure to attract the locals!

The hearts themselves are highly prized by the R&D department with a Scrip awarded at the season terminal for every 6 Plague Hearts you bring back.

New Warning: Lithophage Outbreak

When you play a mission with a Lithophage outbreak Warning you will encounter an area in which the Plague Hearts have grown into full Contagion Spikes, rapidly spreading across the cave.

All missions with this warning come with two main objectives:

• Lithophage outbreak objective: First, you will need to destroy the Rockpox Contagion Spikes and the spreading corruption with R&D’s brand-new anti-contaminant tools. Be extra mindful of the creeping tide of Plague Larvae erupting from the infected area as you work, and be prepared for swarms of Glyphids that have already been struck by the Rockpox and seek to disrupt your endeavours.
• Normal main objective: Second, you will still need to complete the normal mining objective. Fighting the Rockpox is critical, but it does not pay the bills! The order in which you tackle these tasks is entirely up to you.

New Mission Equipment: Cleansing Tools

To help you deal with the Rockpox infection and neutralise the Contagion Spikes, R&D have whipped up some tools: the LithoFoamer and the LithoVac. Both will be needed to neutralise and cleanse an area affected by the Rockpox.

The process is quite simple:

• Step 1: Apply a generous coating of LithoFoam to Rockpox Blisters surrounding a Contagion Spike. The foam begins working on contact chemically bonding to the Rockpox while loosening the grip it has on the rock.
• Step 2: Use the LithoVac to suckup both the LithoFoam and any Rockpox it has bonded to.

Once enough of the surrounding Rockpox is cleared the Contagion Spike will collapse, taking any Rockpox remaining in the area with it.

New Grenades

As has become par for the course, there will be plenty of incentive to do your part. First of those are another round of additions to your arsenal, this time in the shape of new throwables.

Scout: Voltaic Stun Sweeper

The Scout has gotten his hands on an Electric Boomerang that bounces from target to target, electrocuting anything hostile on the way. No mentions of shrimps or barbies, please.

Driller: Springloaded Ripper

The Driller has seen fit to re-purpose one of his favorite power tools. He is now in possession of a motorised saw that powers along the ground and even up sheer walls, slicing and dicing anything it hits.

Engineer: Shredder Swarm

The Engineer has worked closely with R&D, and they have successfully made a portable robotic swarm from captured and reprogrammed Shredder Drones. Throw it on the ground to activate your very own posse of hacked drones that attack anything hostile on sight.

Gunner: Tactical Leadbuster

And the Gunner gets a grenade with a gun on it - because of course it is. Throw and attach this device to any surface, and it will saturate the surrounding area with a blistering hail of lead.

New Enemies: Lithophage

As if it’s not bad enough that the Lithophage is devouring the very rock beneath your feet, once a Contagion Spike matures it begins to grow pulsating pods, filled with Rockpox Larvae!

Rockpox Larvae

These squirmy little devils seek out victims en masse in an attempt to take them over. Shoot on sight and watch your backs. So far both Grunts and Praetorians having been sighted stumbling around covered in Rockpox growths.

Rockpox Grunts and Rockpox Praetorians

If you happen to come across a Rockpox Glyphid do not bother attacking it directly as the affected creatures can take a tremendous amount of damage and still keep going, we are not even sure if they are still really alive. However, if you aim for the glowing Rockpox boils covering their bodies, you can even take a Praetorian down in just a few shots.

New Performance Pass

On top of all that, a brand new Performance Pass with another 100 levels of unlocks will be activated, alongside an all-new Cosmetic Tree loaded to the gills with Cosmetics.

This of course means Season 02 is coming to an end, so now is the time to get mining if you still have anything you are dying to unlock right away. That said - don’t fret, anything you’ve yet to unlock will simply be added to the ordinary loot pools in the game - nothing goes away.

Gameplay Adjustments

We have added mission variety to all recurring assignments such as the promotion assignments. This way you no longer need to do the same missions every time you promote. Additionally the Industrial Sabotage mission will now also be available for selection in assignments.

Cave Room Variations

As we continue our exploration of Hoxxes, it only makes sense that we get some new sights on occasion. You can expect to see dozens of new cave shapes on missions now, with a special emphasis on Point Extraction missions that have been sorely lacking for a while. Don’t get lost, now.

Rival Content

With Season 3 focusing on the Lithophage we have modified the various Rival Events, Rival Presence Warning and Industrial Sabotage Mission.

The Industrial Sabotage mission is now treated as any other mission, including a slightly more streamlined lower-complexity version now also available on the mission map and in Deep Dives . On top of this we have also tweaked the mission a bit:

• Reduced minimum time to hack a generator
• Increased Transmitter Node connection Range a bit

We have also tweaked the Rival Patrol Bots based on what we’ve been hearing on the grapevine.

• Reduced bot acceleration/deceleration a bit so the bots are now a little easier to track
• Reduced damage of burst shots
• Reduced damage of sniper shots
• Reduced the speed and manoeuvrability of the homing missiles
• While the patrol bots can't be frozen solid, "freezing" them will still make their metal brittle and impart the standard damage bonus applied to frozen enemies but with all those hot electronics inside they warm back up quite quickly
• Increased the amount of heat damage required to set Patrol Bots on fire

The Rival Presence Warning is now also part of the standard warning rotation and is no longer guaranteed to be present on the mission map at all times.

Lastly, the 3 RIVAL EVENTS have been added to the general event pool with probabilities similar to the other events. The Data Cells which you can get from these events no longer will grant you scrip or bonus Performance Points but instead will give Credits and XP similar to the Korlok Tyrant Shards.
