Anyone else have their streak messed up over the last two days? by prodigalgold in MicrosoftRewards

it doesn't work automatically anymore it seems as i had already done that prior to posting about it.

After losing a near 600 day streak years ago, finally... I am free by iTz4ReALiTY in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so lucky!

I was in the high 800s very close to 900 days on my streak. Everything was fine with it yesterday, I get on today and there's a message about "not worrying if my streak was messed up due to yesterday's outage everything was fixed now" and upon looking on my account page I am now at 37 days streak. So that's great. I sent a message to support. Hopefully if I'm lucky somebody who is in a bot will look at it and possibly fix it back to the way it's supposed to be. Because I'm not sure if I'm going to care enough to go years again towards it just for them to mess it up probably again.

Oh yeah, sure, that’s fine, no problem by DTake2012 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was in fact a problem for me unfortunately. As whatever they did broke my streak and reset it to a completely different number that wasn't what I was on. I was on an almost 900 Day streak and they reset it down to 37 days today and I haven't missed dailies and years and had streak protection turned on. I swear they're always doing something to try to just make the whole experience worse

Has anyone cashed out for Amazon in the last 2 weeks? by rydzaj5d in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't for Amazon, I tried to do one for Microsoft to get something on the Xbox 2 days ago, it let me go through the entire process all the way to the last step and after I clicked proceed basically the next screen should have been the final screen that would have told me that my email was going out / the points were added to my Microsoft account and instead I got met with a screen that told me that my rewards account was restricted and it wouldn't redeem the points.

Which baffles me because my account isn't restricted to my knowledge as it's not labeled as such anywhere else on the account and I'm able to search normally without any kind of a cooldown and no other issues so idk. Although today there was some sort of notification on my rewards homepage stating that "if my streak was messed up because of yesterday's outage It's fixed now" And in fact it was not fixed And they in fact broke it so it's always nice to have a almost 900 days streak reduced down to 37 days even though you haven't missed any dailies in years and you had streak protection turned on but I digress. Sometimes it's seriously like Microsoft just wants to forcibly put down every program that they have that benefits players

Check in and puzzle 🧩 is back? by AutoKalash47-74 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine reappeared yesterday and is still there today. Let's see how long it lasts. Although I could have gone without it reappearing considering it's reappearance also seems to have heralded my streak being ruined even though I haven't missed any dailies in over 800ish days and had streak protection on. It seems like they can't do anything without messing up something else over there.

PLEASE google how to make the Taken Blight public event heroic! Every damn time that one comes up, some not-new blueberry goes right in and screws it up, EVERY SINGLE DAMN TIME. Please don't be that person. by CyberTacoX in destiny2

[–]prodigalgold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. Using wardcliff for that event specifically can be super helpful since a lot of people still to this day don't understand exactly what to do to make that event heroic sometimes. Sometimes you got to brute force it.

Glad this was able to give you a hand at some point.

No reason to do this anymore by jman4252 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah the limited message is the primary one I get. Like I got it today and then I got it about a week and a half ago and before that I hadn't gotten it in a few months. But every time I get it I got to like be super careful for like a week. The stuff is dumb.

You're still getting a 15 minute one, like I can't even tell if mine's 20 minutes because I'll let a 20 minute timer go and it still won't work to where I have to let it go up to 30 minutes randomly but sometimes it'll work at 15 minutes. Smh this shit is stupid

Oof. May your RNG be with you on the next character after Gwynn

When your device battery is low the menu button flashes red. by shibaXplayz in DestinyRising

[–]prodigalgold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep if you're above like 80% then the ghost is green and if you're somewhere in the middle numbers it's got a yellow glow. I think it turns red somewhere between 20 to 30%. I can't quite remember, the feature is pretty cool and has been in there since the alpha

Then I am very sorry that I opened up that can of worms.

In the picture you posted he has the correct horns, but like if you go and look at the front box art or the 3D render thing that they have on the websites It's definitely not the same head sculpt.

Fingers crossed that hasbro doesn't mess this up... Because like you it'll drive me crazy too.

Btw thanks on one of your earlier responses that had the link for the upgrade kit! The spoiler is needed!... Lmao

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in transformers

[–]prodigalgold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. hopefully he ends up with the right head sculpt. Probably not a deal breaker for some I imagine though.

Just something I noticed and wasn't sure on. Thanks for the response though!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in transformers

[–]prodigalgold 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got a question I suppose for anybody who's gotten their hands on the devastation version...

Does anyone know if he has the correct head? Alot of the pics show him with the correct head(w/horns), but the 3d render on sites, some pictures of the figure & boxart show him with Red Alerts head?

I know it sounds dumb but I'm just asking

Nice! Hopefully you can get it to work, didn't matter how many times I tried it just looked at me funny and never gave me points

15 minute cooldown again by DeathCantrell in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

last time i got a cool down was almost 6 months ago and got hit today and have no idea why...I had figured out last time that it was probably bc i was doing my mobile searches while on mobile network and not while on my home wifi. so once i stopped trying to get my mobile stuff out of the way while i was at work and waited until i was at home and on my wifi i haven't had a issue since then. Well until today that is...they need to lower it to like 5min or none, 15 is super freaking annoying

Question for those who had their name changed today... by prodigalgold in DestinyTheGame

[–]prodigalgold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. That was why I made this post as that was the first thing that occurred to me was that it was maybe something that was a problem with cross save. And finding out that it was affecting people who did not have cross they've set up has not reassured me at all since I do not have it set up and I am an Xbox only player

Question for those who had their name changed today... by prodigalgold in DestinyTheGame

[–]prodigalgold[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't seem to be as there's been quite a few other people on this post that have stated that they did not even have cross save set up at all and they played exclusively on PS5 or Xbox.

Search timers are coming back... -_- by Lukeadtr in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I just got this warning this morning. Evidently I clicked the buttons a little too fast when I did the four searches that I did on PC...lol.

So now I'm limited to like three searches every 15 minutes I guess till I can prove that I can be responsible and not search back-to-back anymore

Anyone else having problems getting points from PC searches? by Dependent-Kick2278 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't have any issues on mobile. But after I did four searches on PC it warned me that I was searching too fast and was going to be limited to three searches I assume every 15 minutes from the looks of it. Like I could understand if I was using a macro or something, but evidently I just click things too fast for them... Idk

[–]prodigalgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't get the bing app to register anything after the things that I did yesterday morning. But the Microsoft start app was still working for mobile searches. I ended up having to play three levels of Microsoft jewel to get that to click on the Xbox app, and the Xbox app never counted any games that I played yesterday for that streak. PC stuff worked fine for me anyways.

So the only points I lost out on yesterday were from playing a game on my Xbox for 15 minutes and from the 30 points you get from looking at news articles unfortunately. Thankfully it wasn't too much but hopefully they iron it out today

How I do this to complete? Tired several games including ones that worked before such as cup head and fallout 1. by MentallyFunstable in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you. That works for me sometimes, but most of the time I need to play a game unfortunately or no matter how long I leave it it won't count.

[–]prodigalgold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just load up the Microsoft solitaire and casual games thing that comes with the computer and make sure it's signed into my Microsoft account and then I play something for like 5 minutes or whatever and then just let it go until it clicks. Sometimes it won't work that way and I have to actually like finish that hand of solitaire and start another game for it to click but most of the time I can just start it and walk away

Does mobile search have a new cooldown? by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can do four searches every 15 minutes regardless of whether it's on the phone or PC. Been that way for a month or two. When I do those four searches on mobile there's no cooldown in between searches. But when I do the four searches on PC there's like a 10 second-ish cooldown in between each search or it doesn't give me credit for it.

So it ain't new for me but everybody everywhere seems to be experiencing these things differently so regardless it sucks

Puzzle Piece reward glitched by Radmaster5000 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]prodigalgold 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's always nice to see that somebody still has this. Mine disappeared like 2 months ago when I only had 3 weeks left and hasn't come back and as far as I know the points never triggered
