Unclaimed Rewards Strategy - Give us your opinion
Merzal#1414 posted a blog entry in Computers's News & Updates
We are juggling around a few ideas on how to better handle rewards that have been unclaimed, there has only ever been one so far but we imagine there could be more. The first and only unclaimed PC is the 24ct Gold PC as after 2 months of attempting to contact the recipient from multiple emails, we had no reply. For this particular PC, we decided to spin again for it but it made us think about different options. We have three options. 1. Spin again next month 2. Re-use the parts to create a new design and build and spin for it 3. Auction off the computer where members will be able to bid on the computer with their loyalty points. We want to know in particular, how this would effect the club in terms of member acquisition and retention. Which option would make you feel even better about joining the club? Which option would make you feel better about owning Loyalty Points? We'd appreciate if you could leave your responses below as a comment. -

How to Trade Smarter in Fallout 76 After the April 2025 Update
Merzal#1414 posted a blog entry in Fallout76's News
New Mini-Season System: The April 22, 2025 patch introduced Mini-Seasons, a refresh of the old challenge events. These are small themed progression tracks that run alongside the main season. In fact, Challenge Events have been renamed to âMini Seasonsâ and moved into the Seasons menu for easy tracking. Players earn Season Tickets from completing event challenges, which can be spent to unlock Mini-Season rewards. The first ever mini-season, âAppalachian Outlaws,â launched with this update, allowing players to immediately dive into a new reward track. (If you have enough tickets saved up when a Mini-Season begins, you could even unlock all its rewards right away â just be sure to complete the challenges to earn your spent tickets back.) New Seasonal Event â âThe Big Bloomâ: Spring has sprung in Appalachia with a brand-new seasonal event starting April 29. In The Big Bloom, players assist a quirky NPC named Black-Eyed Susan, a flower-obsessed wastelander with a penchant for explosive solutions, to reclaim her favorite meadow from hostile plant-like creatures called Overgrown. The event culminates in a battle against Susanâs arch-nemesis, âBee-zlebubâ the King Bee, who shows up once youâve picked enough flowers and blown up enough Overgrown pests. (Just watch out for the landmines scattered from Susanâs last âgardeningâ attempt!) Successful gardeners will be rewarded with new thematic loot once Bee-zlebub is defeated. Armor & Item Fixes: A number of equipment-related bugs were squashed. Notably, Power Armor no longer removes your ghoul disguise headwear. The Vulcan Ultracite Bracers modâs Radiation and Poison effects are now correctly tagged as âUnarmedâ damage, and a bug with the Nuclear Jetpack for the Civil Engineer Power Armor (Munitions) was fixed so that it no longer wrongly required the Secret Service Jetpack plan. Glowing Bobbleheads will now actually appear from Bobblehead Boxes as intended, and players wonât get spammed with the âCanned Cranberry Relish is now craftableâ notification anymore. Also, jetpack controls have been fixed â you should no longer experience odd movement issues while jetpacking around. C.A.M.P. & Workshop Improvements: An important exploit fix: C.A.M.P. objects that require certain consumables (Fusion Cores, chems like Mentats, Stimpaks, Rad-X, etc.) no longer refund those items when you scrap the object. This closes a loophole where players could essentially duplicate valuable consumables. A number of C.A.M.P. decor bugs were addressed as well. The Skulls Firepit will behave like a campfire now, the season reward Urinal can actually be received properly when unlocked, and various display items and structures had their alignment and collision corrected. Even the little things got attention: the Mothman Windchime will animate correctly, the Piggy Bank no longer hovers off surfaces, and the Balloon Animal Bouquet finally has proper collision so you canât walk through it. Combat Balance Tweaks: Wasteland combat saw some tuning. Notably, the Hunting Rifleâs base damage was buffed significantly â at level 50 it jumped from 100 to 140 base damage. Its Prime Receiver mod no longer gives an extra bonus on top. The patch also fixed an issue with V.A.T.S. â you can no longer target enemy limbs in VATS unless you meet the proper requirements (5 Perception or the Concentrated Fire perk). Explosions from certain perks and effects will now hit where theyâre supposed to â the explosions are retargeted to an enemyâs center mass rather than their feet, improving reliability. Enemies & Encounters: Scorchbeasts will no longer spam their sonic blast attack repeatedly. In Daily Ops, Super Mutants and other enemies will once again grant the expected amount of XP. A fix for the new Atlantic City Expedition addressed an issue where Overgrown enemies near City Hall would become invulnerable. Glowing Hunters will now drop Glowing Blood as loot instead of Glowing Blood Packs. Limb Damage & Crippling Overhaul: One of the biggest gameplay adjustments in this patch is a comprehensive rework of limb damage mechanics. Weapon mods that used to give a â20% chance to crippleâ now instead boost limb damage by 50% each hit. Most enemies no longer have innate limb-cripple immunity, making limb damage perks more useful. However, bosses now require more focused fire to cripple. Perk Cards were rebalanced accordingly. Perks like Basher, Enforcer, Modern Renegade, One Gun Army, and a new melee perk Bone Shatterer now include significant limb damage bonuses. The Twisted Muscles mutation was updated to give +50% limb damage. The result: regular enemies are easier to cripple, but bosses are more resistant. Quest & Progression Fixes: The patch cleaned up various quest bugs. Ghoul player questlines were fixed to prevent progression blocks. Early-game quests like âSecond Helpingsâ now complete reliably. The âPowerhouse of the Cellâ quest marker now persists after logout. Additional fixes included corrected voice lines, accurate terminal text, and improved objective tracking. Miscellaneous Improvements: The Atomic Shop interface now loads faster. The world mapâs location selection was improved. Area looting becomes available immediately after enemy death, and looting multiple corpses no longer shuffles ammo to the bottom of the list. Cosmetic fixes included correct glove colors for the Radiation Quack outfit and fixed underarmor clipping. Fort Defiance now counts toward the Cranberry Bog discovery challenge. Photomode now works correctly in ultra-wide 21:9 resolutions. Behind the scenes, Ghoul perks were fixed to behave and display properly. The Wasteland Trading Post: Fallout 76 Trading in 2025 With Appalachia refreshed by the latest update, itâs a great time for Vault Dwellers to turn their eyes toward the player-driven economy. Trading in Fallout 76 has become an integral part of the end-game loop. Whether youâre a casual player looking to swap some surplus legendary weapons, a dedicated trader, or a veteran collector, hereâs your roleplay-friendly guide to Fallout 76 trading. Market76 â The Original Marketplace for Wastelanders Market76 is a community-driven trading hub that originated on Reddit and expanded to Discord. Players post âfor saleâ notices describing gear and barter terms. Trades are done in-game, and the community maintains strict moderation against exploits or real-money transactions. The platform features a karma and reputation system on Discord, as well as a scammer blacklist. Courier services are also available to mediate high-value trades safely. Market76 provides a lore-rich and social environment for barter-focused trading. The Crimson Market â An AI-Powered Trading Post in Appalachia A newer platform, The Crimson Market offers a sleek, AI-powered experience. It allows users to upload item screenshots, which are automatically parsed by image recognition AI. Listings become searchable by stats or effects (e.g., âBloodied Fixerâ), saving time for both sellers and buyers. The Crimson Market also analyzes trading trends based on community data, surfacing in-demand items and fair prices. From a lore perspective, it feels like an automated network run by descendants of the Crimson Caravan Company, scanning caravan inventories and radio chatter for trade trends. Players can list items manually or by image, set a price or trade offer, and be contacted by interested buyers. AI-enhanced search and analytics make the Crimson Market a powerful tool for traders on any platform. Fallout 76 Trading Tips: Best Practices for Safe and Successful Deals Know Your Item Value: Use Discord channels, Reddit, or Crimson Market trends to check pricing. Updates can impact demand, so stay current. Use Trusted Platforms: Stick to known platforms like Market76 or Crimson Market for safer, community-moderated trades. Beware of Scammers: Never drop items first in unknown trades. Use courier services for expensive swaps and always report scammers. Communicate Clearly: Be direct, polite, and transparent about what you want or offer. Good communication builds trading relationships. Leverage AI & Data Tools: Take advantage of Crimson Marketâs AI parsing, trend insights, and smart searching to trade more efficiently. Timing & Patience: Watch for spikes in demand after events and updates. Post listings during active hours for better visibility. Trade for Mutual Benefit: Caps are common, but bartering can work just as well. Be flexible and creative with trade terms. Final Thoughts: Trading is one of Fallout 76âs most vibrant community-driven features. Whether you're hawking gear at Market76âs flea market or letting AI handle the heavy lifting on Crimson Market, the updated Wasteland is full of opportunity. With smoother gameplay, more cripple-able enemies, and AI tools at your fingertips, the 2025 economy is booming. Happy trading, Vault dwellers. May your caps be plentiful, your deals fair, and your legendaries roll just right. -

Our first Pro Gamer's Journal Upload
Merzal#1414 posted a blog entry in Crimson Loot Carnival's News
Raxxanterax on the Grind: 10 Years of Streaming and What It Takes to Succeed In the first episode of Pro Gamerâs Journal, we sat down with one of the most dedicated and recognizable faces in the ARPG genre. Raxxanterax. Known for his extensive work in games like Diablo 4, Path of Exile, Last Epoch, and most recently No Rest for the Wicked, Raxx has built a loyal following by doing what few creators dare to commit to: streaming every single day in pursuit of a 10-year streak. This conversation goes far beyond gameplay. Itâs about the cost of consistency, the pressure of public metrics, and the strategy required to build a sustainable career in an industry that never stops moving. The Origin Story: Why He Hit âGo Liveâ Raxxanteraxâs journey into full-time streaming didnât start with a master plan, it began with passion and persistence. He talks about the moment he first went live, and how it snowballed into a multi-platform presence backed by thousands of hours of live content. Within a few years, he became a Twitch Partner, but the journey wasnât linear. Like many creators, Raxx had to navigate burnout, algorithm shifts, and the changing expectations of an ever-growing audience. On Burnout, Metrics, and Mental Health A key part of this episode is Raxx's honest take on the mental strain of daily streaming. He opens up about the psychological toll of obsessing over viewer counts, and how he eventually had to stop chasing metrics to preserve his mental health. Rather than framing himself as a machine, he discusses the human side of content creation, the exhaustion, the anxiety, and the strategies heâs used to remain consistent without sacrificing well-being. Mastering ARPGs and Building Trust Raxx is often the first to release comprehensive build guides for Diablo 4 and other ARPGs. In the interview, he breaks down how he prepares for new content drops and why speed alone isnât enough, itâs about trust. Players know his builds are not just fast but tested, deep, and reliable. He also shares thoughts on how ARPG developers can build systems that encourage long-term engagement. From loot pacing to skill flexibility, he provides rare insight into the creatorâdeveloper feedback loop, relevant to any studio building in the genre. Sponsorships, Agencies, and Going Solo We explore the pros and cons of having an agent or sponsorship rep versus managing everything solo. Raxx has experience with both, and his take is grounded in practicality. He shares when it's worth bringing in outside help, and when it becomes a liability. He also speaks to the often-misunderstood financial model of streaming. Ads, subs, merch, sponsorships, each has its role, but none alone will carry you. Sustainability requires diversification and long-term thinking. Advice for New Creators Toward the end of the episode, Raxx offers honest advice for those just starting out. Itâs not sugar-coated. He talks about the need for consistency, resilience, and most importantly, self-awareness. Not everyone is built for the grind, and thatâs okay. But for those who are, he provides a clear framework: start with passion, find your niche, stay relentlessly consistent, and focus on value over virality. Why This Matters Pro Gamerâs Journal exists to document what doesnât get talked about enough: the reality of making it in gaming without the shortcuts. Itâs not just a podcast for fans, itâs for creators, developers, marketers, and anyone invested in the future of interactive entertainment. Raxxanteraxâs episode is a blueprint for sustainable success in a volatile industry. His ongoing 10-year challenge isnât just a gimmick, itâs a statement of discipline, endurance, and belief in the long game. -
We saw the Hibernator Sleeper PC go out. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (AM5, 8 Core) Cooler: Cougar FORZA 135 Premium Dual Tower Air Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 DDR5 ATX RAM: 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400MT/s Storage: 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD GPU: GALAX RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 1-Click OC PSU: 1000W SilverStone Gold Modular Gen5 PSU Cooling: Dual 80mm Deepcool Fans, Silverstone PWM Hub Congratulations to the winner adgisme - He had 42 loyalty points during the spin which happened on Rax's stream. Here is the youtube version since twitch deletes it after a while. I sent him the form to fill out to have his PC delivered as soon as we can. We will be spending this week focusing entirely on delivery. The PC for next month, will be the 24ct gold plated PC, Gold Ghost. We had a JoeDon91 previously get picked for this PC but after several attempts to email him from my business and different personal emails, he never responded, he also only had a Golden Ticket and would've got it entirely for free so I presume he used a fake PayPal account or something like that to win and never check anything, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt so anything could have happened and I don't want to call anyone out for using fake accounts (don't do it :P) but in this case I tried my best over a few months to get in contact and this is the first person ever to not respond to the reward. So be it, someone else will get the Gold Ghost! Meanwhile we are working on the Elden Ring Kintsugi PC, More updates on this one soon, it's going to be right after this, then we have the antique Macintosh build and shortly after that we'll do the Last Epoch PC when they drop the next season đ
