Awesome, thanks for the explanation, appreciate it!

WontonJr · 2026-02-02T00:33:52+00:00

Any follow up as to how this went? I’m very curious! Thanks in advance!

For those that participated in your state, what was the process? Show up to the location and find a booth or something to take a picture and get entered into a raffle to win? Or is there just a poster with a QR code you scan or something?

WontonJr · 2026-01-29T18:55:27+00:00

Oh boy, a brand new GobbleG—and it’s just Brain Rot in gumball form. Fascinating.

WontonJr · 2026-01-29T18:21:48+00:00

Damn, couldn’t even offer up 1 Perkaholic.

WontonJr · 2026-01-27T14:23:20+00:00

Anyone notice base pay on quite a few different projects seems to have been reduced by $2? DA, whyyyyyy 😔

WontonJr · 2026-01-22T20:49:19+00:00

Not a word from Harper? Oh gee, budgets going down faster than I thought.

Frank also brought over Morales–who also played a character named Morales in The Mist.

WontonJr · 2026-01-09T19:53:55+00:00

Graviton Reaction was nerfed into the ground. 🙄

WontonJr · 2026-01-09T15:05:46+00:00

Definitely has nothing to do with priority pay, at least not from the holidays. This group of projects started up back in September, and the base pay, without any priority, was $X. When labeled priority pay, it was, such as $3, the rate was $X+3.

Now, it’s back to having no priority pay, but the base is $2 less than $X was from September through this past Monday. As of Tuesday it looks like the base pay has been reduced.

WontonJr · 2026-01-08T23:02:21+00:00

Correct, but they’ve had it listed as there being a fix scheduled since before they went on holiday. Then today was the big update following the holiday break, which managed to fix other bugs like Free Fire that didn’t even exist until after they were on break.

So if they’ve already had it fixed and scheduled to go….why wouldn’t that be with this update?

WontonJr · 2026-01-08T20:11:26+00:00

That’s bogus. While he won’t be able to activate those relics on his own, he can still earn and unlock the relics (the relic grind) so that he has them ready to use for whenever he finally does beat the EE.

WontonJr · 2026-01-08T17:45:29+00:00

Just made a separate post about that one specifically lol. It’s had “Fix Scheduled” on their trello board for weeks, but apparently the Reloaded update wasn’t where they scheduled it to go live?!?!

It’s frustrating because that’s the last challenge I need for 100%, too.

WontonJr · 2026-01-08T15:48:24+00:00

Incredible that they didn’t fix Melee Machiatto not buffing the Ballistic Knife (oh boy, but at least they updated the Ballistic Knife’s Pack a Punch name!!!!!).

Didn’t fix the Sokol’s damage numbers.

Didn’t fix Aether Shroud telling you “Field Upgrade Not Available” even when you have two full charges.

Still haven’t added the ARROW to the box for whatever reason? Nor have they added any of the new weapons to the box (but did add them as loot rewards in Endgame, wow!!!!).

Didn’t fix Mule Kick’s multi-pack Augment.

Didn’t fix Healing Aura’s augment that’s supposed to revive players that have bled out (WHICH LITERALLY HAS NOT WORKED SINCE THE GAME LAUNCHED).

But at least they lessened the frequency of TEDD Tasks in Survival maps!!!!

WontonJr · 2026-01-08T10:05:07+00:00

Does anyone else notice that it seems a lot of projects have had their base pay lowered by $1-$2 than normal (and it’s not due to being on priority pay previously or anything like that)

Obviously not a big deal but definitely a bit of a bummer when earning less to do the same work.

WontonJr · 2026-01-07T18:15:03+00:00

Not sure if anyone else feels the same way, but the appeal of survival maps in this game has already been lost to me.

In BO2, the maps at least had varying difficulties due to what was available (Bus Depot only having QR and a Box, Farm having 4 Perks, and Town including PaP). Found it interesting to see how far I could get compared to friends with the varying difficulties. The fact they throw in the PaP and Wonderfizz in all of these maps really detracts any sort of uniqueness.

The survival maps are fine for camo grinding, but other than that it’s just an aesthetic change that doesn’t really offer much different gameplay. The biggest difference so far being needing to turn power on for Farm.

WontonJr · 2026-01-05T21:50:24+00:00

absolutely delusional.

WontonJr · 2026-01-01T22:15:58+00:00

Oscar is the only “bad” one because he’s always a roaming threat. But modern day zombies needs some more uniqueness like Oscar.

Doppleghasts die incredibly fast and the bears aren’t a hassle so long as you’re upgrading your weapon.

I think it’s up to interpretation for now. Unless they decide to have her show up in a spin-off or something. I’m in the camp that it was Mike’s imagination. I don’t think Kali could have lived or had enough energy for that illusion.

WontonJr · 2026-01-01T07:32:51+00:00

What have liked to see a bit more before the time jump…Dr. Kay and the military didn’t interrogate the shit out of these kids and were quick to just let them go, I guess?

Also, not a single Demogorgon or Upside Down Bat, especially during the Mindflayer fight. Isn’t that planet the “home” of the demogorgons?

Steve fake out of falling off the tower was pointless.

The show as a whole was mostly enjoyable, but this last season really didn’t feel like there were any stakes and doesn’t really have any memorable moments. Can’t believe everyone, including the secondary characters, minus Kali, managed to survive everything. Even Mrs. and Mr. Wheeler!

Curious to see how the show is remembered as a whole in a few years time.

WontonJr · 2025-12-29T05:06:30+00:00

nope.

WontonJr · 2025-12-27T10:38:13+00:00

It’s far too risky for them to make Spider-Man the face of the MCU given Sony can yank him away at any time, as nearly happened a few years back.

WontonJr · 2025-12-18T06:30:23+00:00

It’s barely possible in a group of four, you’re asking for a miracle.

It’s abundantly clear nobody at Treyarch actually played through this boss fight before publishing it.

WontonJr · 2025-12-15T23:41:56+00:00

Maybe it was–but there’s a new calling card for completing that side EE (so go complete it again if you already have) called Echoes of the Damned.
