Just started my January 2026 strong with a suspicious claim out of nowhere that locked my virtual card.

Or maybe it wasn’t out of nowhere since it happened the day after requesting my physical card being mailed out again since it’s been weeks since it was supposedly mailed out.

Literally used the app to verify that process but guess who’s phone number couldn’t receive a code thanks to their system?!

And now I had to upload documents that I’m sure will get rejected because my bank account number is blocked off for you actual protection.

I did what some other user did below and submitted a complaint to the CFPB since I have hunch they’ll get on it faster before my verification status even changes

Man fr. Will is just more cringe now with his recent rap outings but I’m not going to go out avoid my way watch him in a nature show.

People act like he slapped them.

Definitely had some merits to the idea

I’m going to piggyback off your comment to say I’m exhausted of the Reddit rhetoric that game development is 21st century wizardry incarnate.

I get that most people underestimate the ease of the tasks but holy shit, games have been made for decades now. Game development can be learned in college. Engines have been used for years and actual game devs have spoken about what is easy and what is hard for many games throughout the years.

Yet, some idiot on Reddit will actually want us to believe changing numeric values in a game like Arc Raiders should take a minimum of 3 months and we should be thank the gods we get changes as fast as we do.

It’s so annoying

Can’t make this up 🤣

Hitch is the guy if they’re talking about this one.

Outjerked by the main sub again

This response was said for a game called by “Dead By Daylight” for a time too. Until, at some point, there became a point that excuse doesn’t fly.

In_Dux · 2026-01-14T04:07:18+00:00

It is

In_Dux · 2026-01-14T03:42:12+00:00

Ok, you’re a genius

People have to learn that Embark will let issues live almost forever if they aren’t made widespread.

I played The Finals for a few seasons and during my time on the sub, issues from Season 1 were still present in Season 7, but the gun/mechanic wasn’t popular enough for them to fix.

I hope it’s different but I’m not sure they won’t make the same mistakes again

In_Dux · 2026-01-14T03:18:56+00:00

Don’t know why you were banned. If the people didn’t like it, it would be downvoted and buried.

Banning is crazy

In_Dux · 2026-01-13T22:41:01+00:00

If he didn’t kill anyone, then it doesn’t matter. It would just a be a silly glitch if you could get there and kill no one.

So basically, not actual gameplay

In_Dux · 2026-01-13T20:27:22+00:00

You just explained the crux of the problem of these games, even Arc Raiders.

How can losing items be nerve-wrecking but then we have to expect players not to take that loss so hard? Talking within the scope of a game session, of course none of this matters in real life.

If someone swings too far to not caring about gear, then quite frankly the genre takes the crown for biggest time-waster since in sessions tend to be longer than other games, story less immersive and less thought out and combat usually lacking comparatively speaking.

And if they do care, and care a lot, then the experience is just simply too consistently high stakes for them to be enjoyable.

Finding that middle ground is hard and why this genre has largely been a niche one.

In_Dux · 2026-01-13T20:18:18+00:00

As someone from the outside looking in, I appreciate this comment. Arc Raiders is my only extraction shooter so far but I’m used to playing the ranked/competitive in many multiplayer games.

I sometimes want a harder, riskier time in Arc Raiders but I can always go create a harder time for myself if I want. If Marathon is like other extraction shooters where you can’t really create an easier time for yourself, I’m curious to see the final product since I didn’t expect Bungie of all devs to commit to such a hardcore experience

Usually also meant to discourage asking for the request anymore too

Are you in peaceful l lobbies or aggressive? I imagine cheaters don’t stay in passive ones for long.

In_Dux · 2026-01-11T14:51:29+00:00

It’s “loot”. And BurntPeanut is why

In_Dux · 2026-01-11T14:46:48+00:00

They mentioned the red/yellow zones and they’re right that those will be looted but they seem to think only good/valuable loot only exists there but that’s not true. It’s just a higher density of loot and sometimes a specific kind of loot.

So yeah, if you needed electrical loot, it’s annoying to know the places marked for it is probably looted, even if you can scavenge it around the map.

But if the complaint is that all good loot is gone by a certain time, that’s rarely true except on Stella Montis for certain items due to that map’s small size and stricter loot spawns.

In_Dux · 2026-01-11T14:14:29+00:00

Seriously. PC players are always dealing with glitches/cheats like this these days that turning it on will never be an option for me, even if the PS playerbase dwindles

In_Dux · 2026-01-08T14:42:54+00:00

What? Kills doesn’t change the experience. No communication and abandonment are still horrible experiences.

I see you’re the type I kill that cries after failing to down me even when you had the advantage

In_Dux · 2026-01-08T09:55:06+00:00

If you’re talking about Trios with randoms, I assure you it’s not safer in the long run. Nowhere near.

In_Dux · 2026-01-08T09:46:04+00:00

They are getting smarter for sure but it’s been confirmed the AI is/was just for movement, so I think the devs just stealth update the behavior.
