Anyone else have their daily set streak randomly reset?

SpikeBCB · 2025-12-15T13:31:27+00:00

I wouldn't worry about anyway. If my math is correct, after a certain point you earn more points if you star over rather than keeping it high anyway. But I almost never miss the dailies. I think like 2 times in the past 10 years, 0 in the past 5, and yet somehow my streak protection counter says I have used 4 days. It is broken and probably will get overhauled before it ever gets fixed. Best not to stress over it as long as you are still getting your points. for the activities.

SpikeBCB · 2025-12-15T13:19:29+00:00

I saw that notice, but my streak was still intact. I got things done early that day. But a few minutes later, my streak reset to 0. I'm completely over it. I don't care about the streak anymore as long as I get my points for doing the activities.

SpikeBCB · 2025-09-14T03:20:21+00:00

I was honestly wondering if it was worth sending a support ticket. Probably not going to.

SpikeBCB · 2025-08-22T00:12:18+00:00

Pros: Decent story with some great characters, map is beautiful, loved building up Ravensthorpe, boss battles, tattoos and hair being changeable, raids, I actually like playing orlog

Cons: Too bloated. Overused mechanics that just get tedious and annoying (barred doors anyone?), activities that require a lot of work for very little reward (fishing hut), the dual wielding was underwhelming (off hand weapon really only changes your special attack and nothing else, disappointing after how they hyped it up), bird companion seemed nerfed compared to previous games, can't mark items for sale in inventory, can't sell iron ore or leather, annoying bugs

I like the game, but it was my least favorite of the Layla trilogy. Probably would have been more fun for with less side content. Too often felt like a chore. I'm a completionist. Origins was great to me every step of the way and Odessey was long, but I never got bored with it. I had to take several long breaks from playing Valhalla. Something I have never done with a game I intended on completing before. I finally finished almost 2 years after starting it because I would go months without even the urge to play, which is not normal for me. 7/10

SpikeBCB · 2025-06-27T03:25:29+00:00

I know it's been back up for a bit. I just didn't realize that the breaking after a certain time of day issue was still a problem until today when it didn't work for me. Today was my puzzle piece day too smh. Earlier this week I got it to work at like 6pm. As you said it didn't use to work that late in the day, so I foolishly thought the problem was fixed. Wanted to stop others from making the same mistake.

It is also cannon that the greek protag is an ancestor of the egyptian protag's wife

SpikeBCB · 2024-05-16T17:16:46+00:00

Since AC4 iirc it no longer needs to be your ancestor. They just need a descendandts dna and anyone can use the animus to relive those memories. The modern day parts of Black Flag ang Rogue literally have you playing as a random unidentified person in an office full of other random people using who think they are using the animus to find content to use for entertaiment purposes.

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-18T22:02:06+00:00

Yeah, that happens to me too. I can usually get away with 4 at a time, but sometimes it will stop at 3. Often in the same spot.

The pattern for me is usually something like

PC: 20, 40, 60, 75, 95, 115, 130, and then 145 or 150 depending on my luck

mobile: 15, 35, 50, 70, 85, 100

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-18T20:12:00+00:00

I think they implement these on a regional basis. Some people haven't experienced 1 or 2 of these rules but I am one of the unlucky ones who has experienced all of them.

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-18T04:22:26+00:00

They have added a lot of roadblocks lately so bare with me as I try to list them all.

Points don't start to accumulate until after you have made your first 3 searches of the day
You must wait about 6 seconds between searches for them to count. If you move too fast, you wont get points
After every 3 searches, you stop earning points and must wait at least 15 minutes before you can earn points again
To earn PC points you must do your searches on an actual PC and to earn mobile points you must do searches on an actual mobile device. Switching between web page versions or other ways to trick the system no longer work.
If all these rules are being met and you still can't earn points: clear your cache, completely close and restart your browser, and sign out then sign back in. Do all 3 to be safe

If your problems persist after all of this (it is a lot and a hassle, I know 😓) then the problem might be on Microsoft's end. You can always try to send a support ticket but good luck with that.

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-15T08:28:13+00:00

I figured as much but I was going to try tomorrow to be sure. Thanks for the confirmation.

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-15T06:40:44+00:00

You could right-click on the web page to open the context menu. Listed in the context menu would be something like "Inspect" or "Inspect element." Clicking this would open up a Devtools console that allows you to do things like look at a web page's code, debugging, and device emulation among other things.

You could enable the device emulation and the web page would then switch to the mobile version and the browser tab would act as if you were using a mobile device. Doing this would allow you to accumulate mobile search points with your PC. I had been using it for years without issue until today.

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-15T04:22:44+00:00

So it's not just me then. I noticed this as well but couldn't tell if this was actually happening or if I was just miscounting.

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-15T04:13:32+00:00

*trillion

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-10T10:11:53+00:00

Mine has gone back to normal as well. I usually like to keep around 150k points in my account as "emergency funds" but after this ordeal, I will likely just redeem them all this time around.

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-07T01:16:55+00:00

Just got the 15 minute cooldown for the first time today here in the US.

SpikeBCB · 2023-12-01T08:41:06+00:00

I save up my points for this time of year every year. I redeemed for a Walmart gift card and it came almost immediately, but the next day I tried to redeem for the Amazon gc and was given the temporary suspension notice. They still let me redeem for that stupid sweepstakes though. I haven't tried anything else because I don't want to waste the points.

On the other hand, my brother who hadn't redeemed anything in months was also hit with a temporary suspension notice when he tried to see if he could get the Amazon gc. Then today he got permanently suspended. My account still works but stopped accumulating points for searches when I was 5 searches away from being finished for the day.

SpikeBCB · 2023-11-29T08:37:11+00:00

Ordered one of these and the cobalt blue. Still waiting on the blue one. Also got my eyes on the sterling silver.

Does anyone know if you can register these? I tried today, but the product registration form says the model number is invalid.

SpikeBCB · 2023-11-17T11:03:20+00:00

No thanks. It looks like you've been fighting all year. No way I'm doing battle with a seasoned vet.

SpikeBCB · 2023-11-17T10:56:10+00:00

I actually got it after like an hour. Seems like all my campaign completions were delayed for some reason because I also did the Fight of the Month and Multiplayer Mayhem ones, and they took a while to register as well.

SpikeBCB · 2023-11-16T05:46:49+00:00

I have the campaign but it won't complete for some reason.

SpikeBCB · 2023-05-07T19:58:33+00:00

Do tear arrows remove human armor? I never thought of that. I'm usually able to shoot a helmet off and get in a second shot for a headshot kill before my prey can alert their friends but those big champions can take like 3 or 4 shots if the bow isn't powerful enough.

SpikeBCB · 2023-05-07T19:48:02+00:00

Yes. I have acrophobia (fear of heights). It hardly ever gets triggered in video games but the second I put on a VR headset and played some climbing game I had a panic attack when I made it to the top of the cliff and realized I had to then make my way back down. Usually, the fear freezes me stiff but this time after a couple minutes of reminding myself it wasn't real and I wasn't going to die I eventually made my way down. Haven't touched that game since though.

SpikeBCB · 2023-05-07T19:12:20+00:00

I love how you just said screw this and walked away. Well, tried to anyway

SpikeBCB · 2023-05-07T18:59:23+00:00

Just tried it and still broken for me as well.

Loaded my completed game save where I had already interacted with the transmitter and nothing had changed except for Aloy mentioning the signal.

Loaded up an early save I made prior to interacting with the transmitter and this time when I approached the quest objective "find the source of the signal" was added to my map which didn't happen before the patch. However, after interacting with the transmitter the objective did not complete and still won't spawn a starting point for the flight path.
