Hi everyone. I am new to the board, but just need to vent about how frustrating these tasks are. So far I have only been able to complete one mission in suppression. Then tried unsuccessfully for a few more hours last night (stayed up til 4 am o_O) to get stabilize or guidance out of the way. :/ On one try we had what seemed to be a good team. Everyone was doing great, everything in the green, we were only 12m away when the person doing guidance started going backwards....then they'd move forward and then backward again. We ended up playing close to 40 rounds and never got closer than 12m because they were messing around. :grrr:

Okay, I have a question. I've now been successful with Stabilize. What's the next easiest to try? I know Containment is the hardest, right?

Suppressing is just placing shields in front of the spikes that are coming from the core. If you have a good stabilizer, you won't even run out of shields!

Guidance is not too hard. I did it by kicking at equal strength with both feet. The I looked at where the arrow was pointing at, and decided on the strength using the arrow's length. The hardest part was correcting the drift I had accumulated, as the core will bounce off the wall if you're not right in the middle. If you attribute a point system to the strengths, with "none"=0 and "strong"=3, your actions should not total over 8 points (so Strong/strong/medium/none works, Strong/strong/strong/none doesn't).

Containment took me nearly the whole day to achieve, so yes, it's the hardest.

It's true: if the stabilizer is good, you never get more than one spike or two at a time, which means that you stay at a stable level of shields and don't have to start pinching and scraping by to try to keep the whole thing intact.

 

(I just finally finished Jack of All Trades after spending over an hour suffering through bad stabilizers while I was trying to suppress, so I understand/sympathize.)

 

Now if only a new spellbook would open up so I could get the other fearless deeds; that barrier wore me out.

Isit me, or is the time given for the barrier tasks reduced? Also, I'm really confused on the spell part, the guide that TDN gave said I need to select a spell and then choose the 3 symbols at the top. But there are no spells to select! And I'm not sure about the symbols at the top... This is so aggravating!

On the spells side, anyone knows why I can't click on Page 2? :(

I don't know, but it shares a color and a glyph with page 282, which has been checked. If I understand correctly, that means that page 2 should be marked off in light gray, having been eliminated by its index codes (color 3, glyph 15). The script link is still there, though--it tries to call pickpage(2) when you click it, but nothing happens. It's probably just a glitch; I just hope it's not one that leaves us stuck with a grayed-out book until they fix it.

Quick version: Three of the symbols at the top of the page appear much less often than the others in the main body of the page; those three are the ones you need to click.

 

You should be able to eliminate the 4 wrong symbols in the first few lines--my rule of thumb is that I see 5 or more copies of a particular symbol before the end of the third line, it's one of the wrong ones. It helps to note each symbol as you eliminate it. Once you've got 4 symbols written down, just click on the three at the top of the page that don't match your notes.

Mm, actually all the shaded-in-dark-gray pages I see have the same index code as page 2. I just thought maybe Page 2 might have The Spell, seeing as it's (probably) the only one left unshaded.

I'm getting rather pissed off with this game. I've played as a guide for over a day since yesterday but I haven't even won a game until now! NOT EVEN ONE!

 

...but I also have a bad internet connection to blame - I always got this silly message "Error: Timeout exceeded" and another message which asks me to refresh my page, wasting a lot of time considering each turn is only 15 seconds. =\

I don't think the time out error is your internet connection. I had that a lot too and since all other pages load properly I assume it is the neopets server that is struggling

 

Have to agree that this step is very frustrating. Am still trying to complete as stabiliser and container but seem to get stuck in groups where either the others don't know what they are doing. Games either last 3 rounds or occasionally I have stabilised/ contained for more than 25 rounds just to be hit by successive energy spikes that leave me helpless to do anything :(

 

Will try some more today but if I don't manage Monday is back to work so this may be the first step where I don't manage all the deeds :(:(
