Scratch that, I was looking at the wrong area.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
I’m sure they’re constantly butchered via DMs for some shit they do. This is Microsoft after all.

Are the daily achievements gone? I would be happy if I don't have to play dumb games for easy achievements anymore.

I have to say with the recent changes the points are racking up quite fast! Which can only mean one thing, ...they'll be nerfed next month or so! :p

Yeah, it's a little too good to be true lol.

Especially when you get the 4 week streak, you'll be getting +400 points every week till infinity.

Something's gonna give soon.

Does everyone’s new daily look like this?

Day 6 is half for me.
'Yeah it's been like that since the new streak.

Day 6 has always been half of day 5 and 7 for some reason, they need to tally it up to whatever that week's streak is, I guess.

I thought it just reset after week 4?

Nope, they're being uncharacteristically charitable with it.


Weekly Streaks – Play for at least five days a week to complete your streak. The more days you play, the more points you earn. Now comes the challenge: maintain your streak week over week to unlock bigger point multipliers. A 2-week streak will earn 2x the base streak points, a 3-week streak will earn 3x the base streak points, and anything beyond a 4-week streak will earn 4x the base streak points.

You just gotta make sure the streak keeps on going.

I'm trying to figure out if Game Pass Ultimate is worth the points vs PC Game Pass. I rarely ever use streaming these days and that seems to be the big difference.

Here is the breakdown:

Game Pass Ultimate is 11,666 per month (35k/3)
PC Game Pass is 7750 per month (no 3 month option)

Difference is 3916 per month. If the new quests would generate enough points to cover that difference then I'd probably do it, but I'm not seeing it. My GPU sub ends in March so I have until then to figure it out, but right now I'm leaning on downgrading to PC Game Pass. Especially considering the fact that I have to remember to claim points on Sundays. I think Microsoft overcomplicated this shit.

Ehh just go with PC then. If it's not worth it for you at first glance, it probably isn't imo. This is coming from someone who doesn't give a shit about quests though. You can always switch back if the quests become better (LOL). 4k per month savings would add up quickly though.

Various international locations are seeing price drops when buying gift cards with points, i-e they cost less points now.

Looks like the Reward prices are increasing in the US, where they're decreasing in the rest of the world.

New Auto Redeem tile for GPU shows it at 17K points.
