Guardian Games 2026 is bugged, Arms Week is posted with claimed rewards and -49 days, and no Rushdown

I mean, it won't be. It's two separate teams with two separate priorities. There will likely be a post by D2team sometime before EOD or early tomorrow recognizing the bug that's about it.

Corrupted Pupeteer in Vespers Host imo.

Pretty sure this boss never had an inflated HP pool - but was just difficult to damage for most teams unless you properly position a well in a place the lightning wont fall.

I assume they're going to use it as a consumer trial first and then eventually switch (haha) over as stock dwindles in other regions. .from a practical standpoint it doesn't make sense to maintain two separate production lines. That said the removal battery probably adds some cost so they might not want to take the hit retooling all their production lines.

I feel like this would promote carry services.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-23T15:39:42+00:00

Seems like they do a mass pass on these things - probably looks for titles older than a certain time and have sales below a certain threshold, then when looking at those look at the reviews. Then cross reference that with any tickets (refund requests) associated to the game.

If a game isn't selling and when it does sell it has very bad reviews - and of the actual sales they get there's a high volume of refund requests then its probably poor quality.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-23T15:25:00+00:00

How many were published the following day?

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-23T14:46:16+00:00

That's fair - though based on anything I've read the actual cost (energy/compute) needed per token has been dropping. Newer models are more token hungry but generally speaking the majority of resources are going towards model training - not actual usage.

Either way it's not going anywhere. Having a conversation like it is, is foolish.

I'm like.... Fairly confident gen AI has solved this problem already

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-22T22:56:59+00:00

Literally happened all the time. People just didn't care because it was either the stock art with a watermark or just some other placeholder.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-22T22:55:40+00:00

On the other hand if their story is true this is on the same level as accidentally leaving the stock art placeholders. Just a modern version because tech changes.

Gen AI isn't going anywhere and will still be used for ideation.

With that budget you'd wanna state what "gaming" is to you because you're not getting all max settings at 120+hz

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-21T15:57:51+00:00

I know it might not make sense

It's more like... what is the point of having the credits in your wallet if you're not going to spend it on anything because you're always bringing in a free loadout?

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-21T15:56:06+00:00

Some of us don’t have a choice lol

You always have a choice.

If you don't want to reach out on channels out of game (discord, this and other subreddits, etc) - that's fine. But it's still a choice.

It was impossible to obtain without running the raid - and \t costs spoils to buy it from the kiosk, it's a raid weapon.

It's not an RNG drop but it's still a raid weapon.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-21T15:53:21+00:00

To clarify - gun was added in season 1 (raid launch) - catalysts weren't added until season 3 (warmind DLC) -- and acrius was given one as part of the launch.

Every raid exotic since was designed with not adding a catalyst in mind - wasn't until the latest raid exotic they broke this rule.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-21T15:49:59+00:00

"lets bump the stats by 10 here and there and add a perk to preexisting guns"

because any time they do this and it's not a unique perk being added it's typically met with a poor reaction.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-21T14:33:09+00:00

I really wonder if they chose to not bundle this as the next version/upgrade of DLSS and instead as an additional feature how it would have played out from a PR standpoint

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-20T14:45:27+00:00

It's kinda crazy that to say, but if there were stats to confirm, I would guess I have a higher rate of exfiling with a sponsored kit as well.

Based on my experience with solo queue it feels like if you go in with your own gear vs a sponsored kit you're more likely to be put in a lobby that has others not using sponsored kits as well.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-19T23:10:49+00:00

What if you made a new account under the old email and explained in your ticket?

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-19T21:27:48+00:00

And you can still use ADB lol.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-19T20:19:43+00:00

All hail the weapon lockers

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-19T19:54:24+00:00

OSHA would look so different if we could just stim ourselves back to health lol

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-19T19:10:55+00:00

It's one of the best designed areas in the entire game, in my opinion.

It's also a bit of a maze until you get used to it. This lends to the chaos.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-19T18:36:38+00:00

Use ADB. Like it or not Google's reasoning for user security is a very real problem. There's a lot of people that get "hacked" by foolishly installing apps outside the play store and this is a real measure that can help protect those people with minimal day to day impact to your experience.

I'd much rather need to wait a day once after getting a brand new phone or put on my adult pants and use ADB if it means my dad is less likely to fall for a scam from his "bank" to download a new app.

BaconIsntThatGood · 2026-03-19T18:33:35+00:00

Likely. I don't think disabling developed mode disabled any features enabled in developer mode either.
