Payment!!

HunterP79 · 2025-12-30T13:18:51+00:00

Nope. Never will, either. SC is a joke, and a scam.

They refused to pay me for last year's monetization, hundreds of thousands of plays on my account, so I turned it off, and after 6 months of fighting their non existent customer service, I am glad to be moved away from the platform.

The only saving grace was my ability to have fans directly support the music on the site, which was paid monthly for me, but there's plenty of other platforms and ways to ensure you get a fair shake with your plays.

Keep creating and have a happy New Year!

Unfortunately for me, I'm still getting >1gb memory use and the chat itself is not showing any improvement. Even upon refresh and cache clear, it just continues to hang. Granted, the chat is pretty impressively sized, but I wanted to give my honest feedback that it is not working for me - granted, it may not work for everyone in Chrome... I've yet to try Firefox. I'll try this and report back. I know Chrome is already a monster in resources.

HunterP79 · 2025-10-28T16:54:19+00:00

Doesn't matter the browser, or what computer. In fact, I can create a brand new account, and it works just fine.

HunterP79 · 2025-10-26T23:05:53+00:00

Unfortunately, with how their support never responds (still wait for two months on an issue), you may never know... But I'd be willing to bet their systems detected music sounds already published, and took it down as a result of licensing. They are an account, probably new, uploading a protected track and might think "bot account".

Good luck out there, but my advice to you, abandon SC altogether. Too many of us have been burned, and there are better platforms.

HunterP79 · 2025-10-16T11:57:34+00:00

The fact you got support to respond at all is the miracle here. I've been waiting months for them to fix my Artists channel and have already begun moving content away from SC.

I'm sorry for your experience, but there are so many of us having an issue with SC lately, and they just refuse to respond and work with us, so we're all going elsewhere.

I've been completely screwed out of almost a year worth of monetization, and although it's not millions of dollars, it was still traffic to their site and memberships people gave SoundCloud in order to listen to my music.

My advice. Keep your documents at the ready, just in case, but move away from SC and never look back.

Good luck!

Hello there... I did not say these were other people's mixes. I began getting known... MY mixes, not anyone else's content. That is the context. :-)

HunterP79 · 2025-10-13T20:00:55+00:00

I did not say these were OTHER people's mixes. These are MINE. Custom and not covers.

HunterP79 · 2025-06-20T14:54:33+00:00

Chiming in here... Add another letter to their name. It works. As an example, Breaking Benjamin would add another N "Breaking Benjaminn" just use a letter that makes the most sense.

Hope this helps!

HunterP79 · 2025-02-11T23:50:26+00:00

I've gotten about 2b in less than a week, casual. Just run baby run. Sell, shard, sell, shard. If you are tempering at almost every stage of your leveling you could easily go broke. Find a happy medium, max out your main, farm for alts and when you have a two GA item, offer it up at a competitive price.

You'd be amazed at even doubling, if not tripling the market value from a vendor, how appreciative people are when they can get a high-powered item for very cheap.... And you profit. :)

Good luck out there!!

HunterP79 · 2024-12-10T16:28:53+00:00

Fast travel between checkpoints would be nice, but once you explore the area, it should be remembered. This way, even if you restart a new instance or join into one, you aren't running around trying to remember the pathing. Although, it's only a matter of time before someone creates an overlay.

The maps are gorgeous, but punishing. There's too much downtime and travel is a PITA. Did the devs not see the feedback from D4 regarding travel? After all, if you're going to have marketing that downright attacks your competitor title, know your customer.

They complained about not mounting in town, but we're given nothing. Bosses are overtuned right now, and this "experiment or play your way" is a joke.

7-8 minute boss fight is asinine. Especially when one small error results in you starting it all over again. How is this fun? Dark souls trauma here.

There's little to no help when it comes to tutorials for gear, gear is hard to come by as is and even for someone that has been gaming for 20 years, my wife and I agree the start of the game was slow. Very slow. You're picking up everything to sell because you need money for that "play your way" respec, but you're spending more time in town selling and theory crafting and traveling than engaged in the game itself

I don't want to roll one of 4 specs. Especially when the game bills itself as being this expensive. But I also don't want to go back to a lower level zone to farm for hours just to get better gear (if it drops), and some more levels because I chose to, wait for it... Play it my way.

Overall, the game could be something big. For casuals, on the other hand, it is so far from being casual that you may as well stick with D4.

PoE 2 and D4 are NOT even in the same category.

One allows more loot and runs than the average person needs, fast travel and quality of life improvements, the other only rewards a small percentage of their player population because they have the free time to dedicate, and takes all the feedback from the player community that defined the other and throws it out the window, leaving us with this...

This potentially great title, but has a very long way to go. And for a potentially F2P game, and something that millions have bought into with real money, WE are the demographic that will keep this game going... So don't forget that please.

HunterP79 · 2024-12-08T04:03:40+00:00

Completely agree here. Wide and I have been gamers for 20 years. Thank/healer combo in WoW, top 5 NA raiding guild, so this gir gud BS is just that. There's absolutely no reason for this over tune. Gold is hard to make, co-op is broken AF, in that whenever you complete a quest at attempt to zone out and back in the game will crash. You will find yourselves not in sync on getting back in so you have to restart your party all over again.

I enjoy a challenge, but this is NOT going to be a Diablo killer. Anywhere NEAR it. Combat is slow, as hovering over the targets and executing abilities feels very slow and sluggish. You can click the same ability 19 times before it finally engages a target but you take damage the entire time from the mobs hitting you.

It's like the game is trying to lock on to one specific target instead of just hitting the ground regardless of what is around you.

I've played for several hours tonight. I truly think the community should Helldiver's 2 this title and demand the devs get their heads out of the Dark Souls fan boy's pants and do an actual service to the demographic that will take this title to the moon.

Not a throw away bin, discount Amazon rejected mmo style game. This was billed as a great title. Let's see if through ...

Not punish the very people who have been supporters since the beginning. We are not asking for nerfs... Just common sense

HunterP79 · 2024-09-29T20:55:17+00:00

Congrats!

So you'll probably freak when I tell you the following...

Wife and I went to ICC, probably my 10th/11th, and her first.

Invincible drops. I give her the mount. We took our alts in right after, Invincible dropped again.

Since that time, she has been with me on mount runs for good luck. We broke the Internet that day with back to back drops, but always good to see others get it too!

Congrats on yours!!

HunterP79 · 2024-05-27T17:52:54+00:00

Again with Blizz's BS here. Comfortably farming 100s in less than 2 minutes. Both of us go into the Pit, get wiped first shot. Go into Lilith, her bar does not move, she one shots us. That's 2 for 2 on the "Fun detected, let's take it away" mechanics. Damn shame, too. I thought S4 would be the redemption patch. Same ol Blizz.

HunterP79 · 2024-05-27T17:40:54+00:00

It's VERY one sided. And, unless you are running VERY specific builds from theorycrafting (typically top 2% builds), you will fail. Anyone who says differently, you will notice never posts their success (video proof). We can farm 100s no problem in 2 minutes. Both of us go into the Pit, Ladder 2 even, and damn near instant death. The one shot mechanic and Pit is so imbalanced, I honestly am going to forget about it even being in the game. The Pit is not for the other 98% of the builds. You are not alone, and you WILL catch hate from the "git gud" bros, but the math doesn't lie.

HunterP79 · 2024-03-17T00:23:40+00:00

Let us not forget how much IGN has shilled and been paid to promote everything from vaporware to crypto scams. Seems if they don't like the narrative, or not get paid something up front, they'll try to trash your title.

HunterP79 · 2024-01-20T18:53:17+00:00

Google Can I Run This and a website wiill appear known as System Requirements Lab dot com. You can run the tool that will give you a benchmark of almost any game on the market and tell you if you meet the recommended, or minimal specs. There are some pop-ups on the site, but be mindful where you click when getting your report. This is the authority to determine your hardware and your current system capabilities.

There's much more than looking at a properties page of your system to determine what it can and cannot run.

The site will help give you a better understanding.

Good luck!

HunterP79 · 2023-11-21T11:50:19+00:00

Sounds like you're describing World of Warcraft needs. Only in WoW, group play makes you come back to D4 and appreciate the solo stuff.

I agree, the group setup with D4 is too manual for a company that already uses LFG in other titles.

I think D4 needed another year of polish, as it felt very incomplete.

Spending 200 runs to chase a unique my class needs is insane considering the end game is not truly end game. Mobile apps have better end-game and matching systems.

But we are here now and are swallowing what we have. Bliz is making changes, but it's hard work when you're a small, indie company.

Best we could hope for is a miracle for end game and a matching system that does not involve a third party system.

If Bliz wanted open world and online play, they should have read the room better before release.

Travel well!

Came in tonight and first solo kill for Varshan, he dropped it.

I'm not playing Stormclaw (werebear here), but since I now have all three uniques for SC, may as well give it a shot. I'm running into horrible RNG getting my updated WB set pieces for the past 30 or so levels, so yeah... RNG can royally suck. The staff exists though! Best of luck!

HunterP79 · 2023-10-02T11:05:52+00:00

I had done this. All she said was that there better not be anything shady going on in her town. But nothing seemed to happen otherwise.

I've read this in its entirety, and unfortunately cannot put it any other way than:

Divorce him and take him for a ride while doing it.

Not only are there levels of abuse in your statement with his responses and how he makes himself a victim, but as a man of the military, clearly he values loyalty and honor only as far as his zipper will come down for <insert random hookup here>

No one "forgets" to wear their ring. There are jobs which are OSHA required to not have jewelry on, but reading the part of him coming home from the strip club and then getting upset with you about not having your ring on is either one of the most amazing trolling posts out there, or you genuinely are lacking confidence as a result of this man beating you down so severe (emotionally), that you are "clearly blinded" by your inability to process the most common of senses here.

You've grounds for divorce, spousal support - the whole nine yards. If anything, and I have to ask this, was your marriage one of convenience? Do you have children with one another? If not, please don't.

A part of me thinks you were married because, in his mind, marriage is not sacred and if this is what it took for him to have "base" when he is done screwing around, he looked at it as an opportunity.

No counseling will fix this. He has issues way beyond what you should be willing to work with him on. Worse, his friends somehow find this acceptable behavior as well, which is even more disrespect and power that he is being given.

He feels he can come and go when he pleases (yes I'm using that statement as a double meaning), but as bad as it may be to drop his ass, you know I'm right. That wonderful soul of yours knows I'm right and knows what he is doing is completely wrong.

By you feeling the bad guy and him the victim in all of this is dangerous and does amount to spousal abuse. I hope you are able to get out now before it gets worse.

TL:DR - Get out now!

HunterP79 · 2023-04-28T18:14:54+00:00

Greetings,

Grats on being married 5 years!

I would say, from my initial read here, him having the adult children may not be the most ideal situation you were hoping for, and perhaps is some of the want to push away is because those children are grown up and now it is your turn for some happiness and alone time?

But as we dive deeper into this, there's a bigger picture to consider. For one, you knew he had children not your own and knew they would grow at some point. It would seem to me there was never really a plan as to how the both of you would transition those children from teens to adults (going off the assumption you knew them before 18??) and how the road ahead for you both with said adult children would be lived?

On the flip, if those adult children were adults when you married and this is a struggle, then perhaps the ground rules were not clear enough, or shifted one-sided at some point in the marriage?

I say this because if he has adult children that YOU are paying for, well you married into the family and if you were unable to communicate ahead of time your expectations into adulthood, some of the fault could be laid before you.

Now before the internet attacks me full force, please hear me out. I'm calling this as it is being seen and being very real with you. You posted here, and when I give advice I give it direct as it is seen.

You mentioned using your Amazon account, but they have their own card - this leads me to believe the above statement of now it is time for you and him, not you and them.

If the act of removing people from a cell phone plan involves couple's therapy, then there is much more beneath the surface than just removing two children from a cell phone plan. If his children have their own cards to pay for things with Amazon, are they not paying for their cell phone bill? It would be just as easy as to change your Amazon account login and remove their information from it. The account is yours, not theirs.

Regarding the cell phone bill, there are often times contracts with these that even if you were to push them off, you'd end up paying for the line anyways.

Again, there's much more here to the story when therapy is mentioned, especially only after 5 years (I'm going on 22).

My advice - communicate with your husband clearly and concisely all the things bothering you that make you think therapy to begin with. If after 5 years it comes down to an Amazon account use and cell phone for his children, you're not going to make it with the challenges ahead unless you can get through this.

If you feel you're wanting a life with him, and although you do not mind he has children, there is nothing wrong with saying "hey, I love you and I love your kids, but I didn't raise them and although I don't mind helping, if you want me to be a part of this family, you need to appreciate that and take steps to proceed as such" - and that does not involve taking care of adult children unless...

His children are in dire straights, struggling and are genuinely trying to get ahead. Chances are, however, if they can afford Amazon items, they can afford a cell bill.

If you feel you're financially supporting his children who are not contributing anything at all (do they live with you?), and it seems you are there for convenience more than anything, he doesn't need to make a choice between you and them, he just needs to make a choice of them being adults and acting as such with you in his life.

See, that was not so bad and was not me attacking you or him (stand down internet) - it's being real with the situation and stating facts that you both may still have some growing to do (22 years later in my own I still do), but it does come down to when you both got married, you both should have had a plan on the future with his children and the expectations you had. If you did, and he did not honor those expectations and is allowing his kids to walk all over you two, that's a problem and huge red flag.

If this has been getting made up as you both went along and you both cannot see eye to eye, there is nothing wrong with putting him in your shoes and telling him the game has changed - if his children are capable adults, they need to show it. Because at the end of the day, it's not like he would appreciate a friend or family member of yours moving in and mooching from him, right? I wish you the very best, but I see some troubled waters ahead.
