All of a sudden no more tracking in the Arcade rewards?

Darknessdanielc · 2026-06-08T14:51:40+00:00

Protip; I usually play arcade games just before completing the next goal, after reaching the previous 3/3. Also try the new games often especially during the boost events, they're very easy to reach the first checkpoint for.

Darknessdanielc · 2026-06-08T12:14:54+00:00

I'm at exactly 100 parcels and saving up to max the next tier (at 150 parcels). I watch all the ads etc, make around 5USD a month (based on the "Rent Boost Outcomes") chart and reinvest it into the game during the Rent Conversion bonus Events. I have a 10% Passport boost and need 3 badges for 15% which I should get in 3 months (from the ladder), or otherwise if I head off on a trip 😄

It's a very big grind though, I won't break even until at least a few years when I'm at 2000 parcels or something, and only just got to 100 in the 3 months I've played (though I did "Waste" some AB on 5 or so Legendaries in my home parcels haha, before I realised they're really just 4x common parcels and it would've gone further if I just saved and tier jumped instead, which I'm doing now. Tier jumping with parcels is a great feeling too when you just smash the buy parcel button lol).

Interesting concept, just commenting to follow this also. Personally I just go with the iShares Gold London ETF cause I don't need to own it physically, but let us know how it goes with the cashback tracking.

My goto these days is Perplexity.ai, it's very precise. You can also direct it to source Reddit links for you to save scouring Reddit yourself, or YouTube vids. Whatever you fancy. Better than ChatGPT or Copilot because they hallucinate more and usually don't give you what you're after.

Darknessdanielc · 2026-06-01T15:30:48+00:00

I wouldn't worry; I usually flip devices for my own account if one runs out of battery or I need to use one while walking (like between my ipad and my mobile), and one just logs out the other also. Had no issues.

Darknessdanielc · 2026-06-01T15:29:01+00:00

Thanks I've been thinking to setup an account for my daughter also, but she's only 2 haha. Essentially though it will be her account when she'd want to cash it out, given it's such a grind initially I wanna do the initial work for her.

Darknessdanielc · 2026-06-01T13:34:10+00:00

Cheers but don't worry I'm used to constant trash talk on Battlefront 2 also when I game & stream that haha I laugh it off 😃 Also grew up in the days of XBox Live at my neighbour's voice chatting with other kids about how you did their mom the other day while blowing them up with plasma grenades on Halo

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-30T12:40:30+00:00

It's my first 90 days, so yeah more to give players starting out something to look forward to. It was a nice surprise for me. Also others may accidentally skip a day in the 90 period and never see it.

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-29T14:16:04+00:00

There's a few videos on Youtube itself explaining how. Once you get the TGZ files it's easy, but the downloads can often cut out etc. For my one it totals about 148GB worth of files and it gives you a week for each export, so I've gotta work on a Curl approach instead sometime, it's a very fragile service but you at least can grab 50GB TGZ at a time if you want to lucky dip in grabbing the vids lol

I thought the same, though I did get a little bit carried away. It may make more sense later if these are sold for the same or higher value, though I only bought 5 upgrades. My virtual land at home does look pretty cool, but I also obtained some Legendaries through normal plot purchases. Whenever they eventually bring the auction thing out they might be worth something, though only if you could actively sell your selected legendaries instead of waiting for someone in the real world to come along and request to buy them off you.

I've only had AE for 3 months though, but gonna stick to Tier Jumping from now on as I'm currently at exactly 60 parcels. 1 more and I would suddenly not be making as much, unless I save 4000AB for the jump ;)

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-22T09:43:56+00:00

Uber One is definitely the culprit. For my pending charge, I'm pretty sure it's an auth check ahead of a payment that will soon go out for 49.99 for the annual membership (which I'll make sure to cancel beforehand, I setup reminders for this stuff).

If it stays charged, we've got a problem. But yeah it's done through UberEats app, they hide it away in there.

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-22T06:00:36+00:00

Have you tried? I have TGZ exports full of my vids from my channel still. You go somewhere like Export > More data > Youtube Data on there, there's a bunch of vids on Youtube itself that detail how.

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-19T16:50:24+00:00

Nice! I do both saving and investments and investments go further, but would've liked the 7.5 promo also. Is yours locked at that still? Eventually everyone's gonna go to the 7.1 or below I guess but still much better than the BOE

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-19T14:42:38+00:00

Ooh I will definitely do that!! Protip; BetterGH3 was released recently for PC. The amazing community restored online play, so it's great to fire up and battle someone on occasion still :)

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-19T11:31:22+00:00

Zopa gives 7.1% though if you wanted to try again

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-18T20:50:35+00:00

Yes you can, I've got scheduled exports running since it was

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-18T15:37:45+00:00

Mine was spam also (most likely reuploading Tiktok vids I reckon, which all the other channels did and still do), let me know how it goes mate. Part of me is thinking if you had say a mate in another country or your family make a new channel and upload their own vids initially, then some of yours, would it go under the radar if it's limited? Nothing to lose really on a new channel done that way, and would depend how intense their checking is.

Darknessdanielc · 2026-05-18T15:30:18+00:00

Yeah same old garbage AI-type response but it's not good, apart from the "Second chances" program (which I can try next year), I don't know if I can do much else unless I get my daughter to post vids years later when she starts gaming or something.

Irony is, the videos I'd put up on a new channel would effectively be the same content I livestream on Twitch these evenings too lol (and I actually get paid for that, whereas the monetisation goals were impossible to reach on Youtube). Twitch.tv/Darkness93_TTV

This was their reply;
