YellowFlower3 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 For some reason, I can't seem to get this avatar. I have an evil blue fuzzle, and I play with it all the time, but I still haven't gotten the avatar! Is there some trick that I need to be doing that I'm not??

It helps if you just leave the pop-up open and push F5 to refresh it over and over, or even hold it down if your system allows it. It does take a while, but you'll get it eventually. :) tak71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Just keep playing with it, over and over. It took me probably 20-25 minutes to get it. It just takes a bit of patience. If you aren't getting it, stop, and try again later. And don't hold down F5, that is considered cheating by TNT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixensykerd Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It is one of those avatars that takes ages to get, just keep playing with it (I got it over a few days of playing...) and make sure you've got plenty of items in your inventory, so that darn sneaky pant devil doesn't steal it!

kyandii Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I spent like an hour playing with my pet and didn't get it I then played with a different pet and got it first go. Try a different pet ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah B. Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I tried playing a few times a day with each of my pets for a few weeks but got no results. Now it's sitting in my SDB taking up a spot for my pack rat avatar. I'll work on getting it again once I clear out the SDB, and once school is done and I can sit there and play over and over. BTW, does anyone else find their pets absolutely hate this toy? Both my pets find it "SO boring..." and they make an angry face, lol :laughingsmiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverus Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm pretty sure that pets won't actually play with toys they find boring. Maybe try it on a different pet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixensykerd Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Or change the lanugage, for some reason that helps (and it works for books :S) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I read that you could hold it down with your finger, but you just couldn't put something on it to keep weight on the button. Maybe I'm misunderstood then. Sorry for the bad advice.

dasbif Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Sometimes you get random avatars right away, some people never get them after years. at least the blue evil fuzzle is cheap, it's not like the lever of doom where you can spend millions and not get it!

Maybe I'm misunderstood then. Sorry for the bad advice. I read it somewhere in an editorial, as well as other people on here, saying that. They want you do actually click the refresh button, or hit F5 each time you want to refresh. It'd be too easy to hold down F5. Honestly, holding down F5 had never occurred to me, until I heard it was against the rules. And I still need that Game Graveyard avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylar_noel Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I keep seeing people here say holding f5 is against the rules but in NT editorial issue 219 this was said: Some people say that you can get frozen from refreshing to much. For example some avatars people say you can only get from refreshing and they say that you can get frozen from refreshing to much. Is that true? ~ x_tammeh Just like many things in Neopets and life, there is a line. Let's clarify. - Hitting refresh repeatedly for a few minutes, allowing the page to load. – Great - Holding down F5 for 10-30 seconds at a time, checking for the avatar/challenger, then trying again if it has not been achieved – Still good. - Holding down the F5 key for 20 minutes – Okay, but try to take a break for your mental sake and ours. - Leaving your "cat" on the F5 key while you make a sandwich. – Not good. - Leaving your "cat" on the F5 key all night while you sleep – Bad. - Using a program that refreshes for you at the same rate as a human – Frozen! - Using Opera to open 100+ pages and hitting "refresh all" – VERY frozen. Basically, anything that plays the site for you, and requires no effort on your part, is considered a "bot" and will get you frozen. Even your "cat." This includes auto refresher functions in browsers, or putting a weight on F5 to do things the old fashioned way. If you don't do any of that, you don't have to worry. So it looks to me like as long as YOU are the one holding the f5 key, you can do it as long as you have the patience for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of my pets hate it... <_< I might be getting a third one soonish as a lab ray experimenter so I'll try it with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secre Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Aw crap. Really? Both of my pets hate it... <_< I might be getting a third one soonish as a lab ray experimenter so I'll try it with that one. Try changing the language to one which has a different number of characters in the item name. It works on food and books so I see no reason why it won't work on toys.

So when should I refresh, after they've played with it and said something afterwards? In that pop-up window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you do it for longer than "20 minutes" or so, it looks suspicious. Bots are easy to find too... I just wonder about that sometimes, even though I never use the F5 key, haha.

Mouseykins Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 What I did to get this avatar is over a few days (not in a row) I played with one of my pets while watching a movie and before long I recieved the avatar. It helps if you have something else to do like watch a movie it seems less boring that way while refreshing a bunch of times for the avatar.

panda06 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 What would you recommend? EDIT: I've put it into one of the Asian languages, and my pets seem to actually like it now, haha. So when should I refresh, after they've played with it and said something afterwards? In that pop-up window? I used the refresh after playing with it, when the pets comment came up. I also switched pets after every 25 attempts. Not sure if it actually helps but it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malindamya Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 i gave up on this for THE longest time ever...finally I just sat and refreshed and played over and over and over...took about 40 min and FINALLY the darn avi popped up. I feel your pain though, I swear I do! :king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groovyjenny Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I too have been trying FOREVER to get the evil fuzzle avatar. Guess it just takes a lot of patience! Hopefully I will get it soon, because I am about to give up on it. I am just glad that the evil fuzzle wasn't very expensive. That's a plus at least.

Sakabato Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 It usually works when you play it with a different pet. When I get my Kougra to play with it a few times, I got the avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
