Xbox Series S/X: Thread 04

[nonny]

I've had the monthly card break before but contracted support before month end and they've just credited me the points.

That time it was a 500pt card which wouldn't unlock itself and it was a task on the 2000pt monthly list.

So if it's not working don't stress and just contact them, though this one seems to have been fixed.

Edit, also you know you don't have to give to the charity right? You can just exit the page and it still counts...

Same. They even gave me 500 points for the 5 sweepstakes entries too!

Back on the GP quest reward changes...I never got the monthly 1000 point one, don't use any mobile app thing whatever. Now, likely another 1000 points per month. Cheers MS! (Ok, 800 odd, with the other changes.)

I thought the donation was the requirement

Halo Infinite co-op has been delayed again. It's now TBC but 343 are still aiming to get it done before Season 3 launches

Sheesh... I mean I didn't realise they're going for full on 4 player co-op but they're taking the urine now... and only two new maps at the end of season one. At this rate multiplayer will be dead in the water by close of season 2.

I was kinda hoping they'd bolster the game with at least 4-6 new maps given how long they made season one. New modes isn't as much value add.

Gotta love a bit of insider trading

[nonny]

Is there anything underhand that wasn't going on in there? Crazy...

I know MS are trying to be the White Knight (for they're own gain mind), but jesus christ its like willingly stepping into a viper pit.

Energy saver mode now but default option for Xbox and will allow background patching and installs...

That's pretty good. Just get rid of the stand by mode and replace it with this.

Next 12,000 points is done - 14 days which is very notable as if it weren't for the 1,000 point donation it would have been done in 12 days which I think is the very fastest I can get it down to an insane return for reward.

Factoring in the 3 month bundle cost and change in rewards the next month earnt would be when I hit 71,000 points, 1,000 less than normal so that offsets the last attempt so I'll see if the next push verifies the fastest possible for points accrument
