Secre

So, I got lucky. In poppping back in to try and train my pet for the hopeful Battledome plot, I got an FFQ. And now I need help. Because choices are haaard. Do I; - Accept that transmog potions are inflated for good and use it on a Mutant Pteri/Ixi/Peophin despite the potions having been 2mil or less last I looked? All are now at 7mil plus. - Use it on one of my Cybunny's or Hissi. - Create a whooole new pet even though I'm running out of room. For Cybunny, I have Cyrenye (play on Siren and Serene) and Cymbolism. Options are Plushie, Maraquan or Grey for Cyrenye and Oilpaint or Mosaic for Cymbolism (possible Candy as that's also artsy). Mosaic can't be gotten by FFQ though. For Hissy I have HisssyFits who is absolutely for my baby side, so not worth an FFQ. And Hissdras. Options for Hissdras are Lost Desert, Candy or Faerie. Faerie is cheap after the last mini-plot, so I'd only use an FFQ for LD or Candy. I am edging towards Faerie here, so FFQ would be irrelevant. For new pets, The Mushroom Chia is the ONLY Chia that has made me go oooooh. I still like the Tyrannian Chomby, but again it's under 1mil so a waste.

Hmmm... nothing here to particularly excite me. I do kinda like that tarantula outfit but it's not making my jaw drop. Unfortunately, none of these clothes will fit a mutant, so you may have to keep zapping.

Ok, I don't particularly like Chia's but that potato is rather adorable!

I like the little elemental designs. Particularly the pinapple and the flower. They're really cute!

Ooof. My Tyrannian Peo may get a new makeover at some point. The Burlap is a lovely rendition but I also absolutely adore both the sparkly outfit and the dragon fruit outfit!!

Hahahahahahaha. Ok, that's made my week. Absolutely made my week. Admittedly, it doesn't take a lot at the moment as it's been a really cruddy couple of weeks. But I'll take my wins where I can get them. TURMAC ROLL HERE WE COME!

11,680 points. Choices. I need the Yooyu. No doubt. But do I also want the plushie foreground... or do I get two yooyu's and a stamp and sell one yooyu and stamp... hmmm...

Once again, they've nailed it with the outfits. I love the wings and the glow on the Death outfit and the fact that they've done an adult and baby version! For some reason my first thought at the Fuzzy Ixi was Krampus!

Yep, that was the next response I got from them. Insert censored words that I'd get banned for here...

Congrats on your pretty darn spectacular win against those of us in Maraqua yesterday!

Yep, they clearly didn't even bother to read the ticket. Just went 'AC, send generic'. A bot could probably have provided a better response than their support team. I'll keep chasing, but I'm less hopeful. It should have been resolved within 24 hours of the issue. The fact that they haven't and still haven't... is not promising. It baffles me though. If I'd have behaved like that at work, I wouldn't have a darn job to come back to!!

So after two weeks of chasing by email, Facebook, Facebook Messenger and finally Twitter, I got a 'response'. Delilah D. (Neopets) Jun 15, 2023, 8:01 PM PDT Thanks for writing! You may submit up to 3 scores in a day to earn Neopoints and to be listed on the high score table. This is called maxing out for a day. Even after maxing out, you can continue to play multiple times and submit scores till you reach a certain cap limit. This cap limit is in proportion to the points you will need to achieve the next ranking for you to reach All-Star. This will also add to your team's performance in the tournament and earn you Prize Shop credits. However, after maxing out, you cannot earn Neopoints. Please note that we have scaled down the maximum games cap and rank requirements by 25% and adjusting the Prize Pool proportionally. You can still play all of your same favorite games, but without as much of the burnout. Have fun playing! Which doesn't address the issue I raised at all. My response is... not amused. "Hi, This is a generic support response to a question about how the AC works. That is not what my ticket was about. To spend two weeks chasing to get a response that doesn’t even attempt to address the issue raised is appalling on behalf of your support team. To repeat (again), my ticket is regarding the games I am missing due to the coding error that your programming team are responsible for from Day 1 of the Altador Cup (06/06/2023). This is a known site issue and affected everyone, so you are more than aware of the issue. As per your teams site message, it was due to the games scores being coded to how much was played in the 2022 Altador Cup. On Day 1, I played 35 YYB, 301 SOSD, and 301 MSN. Only 1 game of MSN and 153 games of SOSD counted. That means I am missing 35 games of YYB, 300 games of MSN and 148 games of YYB. I am missing those games due to the coding error that affected everyone playing site wide. This is not due to any fault of mine, it is down to an error by the Neopets staff. Can you please - as stated in my original ticket - credit these games to my account. It is unbelievable that it has been two weeks and this hasn’t already happened. I provided proof in my initial ticket and have reattached the screenshots of the games played and the screenshot of my rank panel at the end of day 1 where they have not been counted. When you respond to this, please respond to the actual issue raised and address. Kind regards, Alyssia"

Oof, sorry you missed out. The new round has now started! Rock did very badly. BAD ROCK. Sit in the corner. New team:

Who's everyone picked? There's less than 24 hours left to pick!

Yep. Not sure how they managed it, but it was tied to day 1 of last year. Muppets. I'll be right peeved if they don't credit the games though. I mean, yeah, I caught loads of Pokemon for the PokeCup Challenge, but I'm not sure that alone is worth it!

Well, I maxed three games yesterday. Except only 153 games of SOSD counted. Oh and 1 MSN. I've raised a ticket and contacted TNT on Facebook, so I'm hoping they'll give me my darn games. It's the problem with being eight hours ahead of TNT. By the time TNT fixed the issue at like 1pm NST, it was nearly bed time for us. So my options were play and hope the retroactively credit the games or skip the day.

I'm sat somewhere between excitement and dread. I like the prizes. But I hate how time consuming the event is and it always clashes with my summer reading event that rewards me with actual books and Amazon vouchers! I did really well 2020 and 2021. Lost the will to live last year and so only did about two weeks of it. I figured that if it wasn't bringing me joy, it wasn't worth it. And then absolutely kicked myself when the prizes came out. Still made 85mil off the stamp, but why is the year I didn't hit All-Star the one with the fantabulous prizes!?

I had the same issue originally and had to go find a post on Reddit to work it out. http://ncmall.neopets.com/mall/shop.phtml?page=&cat=#load_items_pane-browse-37 will hopefully work. But otherwise go to the NC Mall and click on Spring in the headings section. They all come up then Oh, how beautiful! All of the items are very nice, which along with the fact that they were rare and retired made them valuable I suspect. Nobody cares about ugly retired things! I haven't done anything with mine yet. I will have to update customs though!

I spent way too much NC. I bought everything and dupes of some things for possible trading fodder later down the line. I now need to buy a handful of them on my sides...

Today TNT woke up and chose chaos! All these items are for sale in the NC Mall for this week only. Nearly all of them have ... or had shall I say ... a value of over 15 GBC's. Some like the Radiant Sunflower Arbour were 25+ GBC. So if any of these retired items were on your wishlists, go and grab 'em quick! Values will decline significantly, but as they are only on sale for a week I suspect they will creep back up again at some point!

What on earth happened with that outfit. It's psychodelic! It's a pity the gems falling from the headpiece aren't seperate. The headpiece would be awesome without them!

It's still open if anyone missed it yesterday! How do I know? Because I ummm... missed it yesterday. Only had my staff contest points left to spend so wouldn't have been the end of the world either way, but pleased to get the books regardless!

The colour of the pet moves with the species change providing the pet you are morphing into has that colour. So a Woodland Kau could become a Woodland Hissi. There is however a workaround to get a pet of any colour through the perk. If the species you are morphing into does not have the colour your pet is currently painted, then you can pick any colour you want. So the Hissi for instance does not have Sketch as a colour. So if I morphed the pet I wanted to change species into a Sketch Acara, then started the Premium Perk and picked Hissi, it will tell me that the Hissi doesn't come in that colour. I can then pick ANY Hissi colour I want. Including lab only colours like Chocolate. That's how I got my MSP Poogle.

The colours a tad simplistic but is certainly striking. I do love the clothes though. Particularly the metallic costume which is really, really pretty. But the rattle snake is also cool! I've now got two hissi's on my bonus side. I need more pet slots on my main side and baby side to move them across. HisssyFits is going to be my baby and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with Hissdras yet, I already have Voldermorts who is Halloween/Transparent cross. I do like Candy and I don't have any candy pets, so that's a possibility...

Kiko Lake Carpentry Another bath bomb for me. Surprise surprise! But a cute petpet to make up for it! The NC prize for today is very nice though. That makes two items I like the look of.
