My 50 game vs snipedown.

Today I got my weekly challenge done, which obviously means I got all my daily challenges. After completing that I went onto Halo Waypoint and completed the hidden terminal to unluck 100,000 free credits. I noticed that some of my credits were taken away, and when I play games my overall credit bank does not increase.

I have credit capped in reach before, and when I finished a game after that I always earned 0 credits for the game, I do not believe I capped today because when my game ends it shows me how many credits I have earned but does not add those credits to my overall credit bank nor does it move my rank any higher.

I have also noticed that my commendations are stuck where they stand, If I get 20 DMR kills in a game my precision weapon commendation does not move.

Does this mean I recieved a ban of some sort? My rank stayed the same and I recieved NO message alerting me of a ban.

I've heard of weird stories from the terminals/Custom Challenges.

But you're not banned.

Have you messed with your timezone lately? (past 1-2 days)

I actually did. I moved my timezone forward to do the hidden terminal because I had earned quite a few credits today and did not want to jeapordize the free 100,000 credits.

I would recommend asking them at their website if you want to, but it may take some time for them to get back.

If you change your timezone forward and earn a portion of the next days cR than change it back the next day to earn the rest it will show you the cR but not give them to you for that day. You usually have to wait until the next day to start earning again but you aren't banned.

Did you do that?

That sounds like my problem, would that also explain my commendations not increasing?

I've got no clue about the commendations, I've never had anything like that happen with me (that i've noticed) :\ I've seen other people post about it but never really saw an explanation to why it happens.

Well thanks for your insight I feel a little bit better now. Hopefully I am not banned, cross my fingers.

I'm pretty sure changing your timezone so you can bypass the credit cap is a bannable act. I'm not entirely sure but it seems like manipulation to me.

Not really, since all you're doing is capping yourself for the next day.

I logged on today and I still can't earn credits on reach. I recovered my account onto another xbox and still nothing. I haven't recieved any messages alerting me of a ban is there anything I can do?

Well you have many pages of campaign gamplay with 0 points, so challenge reseting maybe?
Other then that the Daily cR cap got larger starting today so if you only hit the cR cap you should beable to earn some cR.
