Spritzie Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Argh, I'm stuck on Nova Defender for AAA. I watched a YT vid of how to get the score within the first 3 levels. The person made it look easy :( I'm useless though, most I've got to is 300k. Nova Defender has me worried as well. I haven't even really attempted it yet, I plan to do that on my days off this week. It was lagging horribly the first day, so I wanted to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Sadly I have so much procrastination to do that I'm left with no time for the Daily Dare these few days. :P Hopefully this will clear up before the end of the month though. I haven't been here in a while due to the hacker scare. I've noticed more members of TDN join Jellyneo due to that purpose (not just HAMS this time). Anywho, it's great to back at The Daily Neopets after a few days of not being here. :yes: I realise there's not too much point in me explaining this again, but I'm going to anyway, just for the sake of clarity. xD The datacentre hosting TDN and many other major websites was compromised by a professional, highly skilled and probably highly paid black hat hacker, who had essentially no interest in Neopets or Neopets-related websites - the hacker's goal was simply to gain access to numerous websites with lots of visitors and use them to distribute malware (a goal which the hacker achieved rather spectacularly). Considering the hacker's skill level, there's virtually nothing we could have done to prevent this attack (the blame falls partly on our web host for the way they handled our server passwords, but that's more of an oversight rather than a clear vulnerability - it probably would only have slowed down the attack). It's unlikely that any website would have fared better than TDN when faced with the same attack. TDN is an extremely secure site, but a determined and sufficiently skilled hacker could easily bypass all our work and find another way in which we can't control directly. That said, our datacentre has probably learned its lesson, and their systems should be much tougher to breach from now on. Once again, we're talking real, experienced, highly skilled hackers here; not the idiots you see going after Neopets accounts. They make an (illegal) living out of doing this stuff. Not people to be trifled with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler. Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I did the first day of the DD and gave up :P it's good to know we're safe now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsnapsitsjanet Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Nova Defender has me worried as well. I haven't even really attempted it yet, I plan to do that on my days off this week. It was lagging horribly the first day, so I wanted to wait. to beat this game, i just held down all the arrow keys and moved my mouse around :) i only brought the two way shot, then the three, and the shield booster. goodluck! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I gave up on DD too. I'm no good at games, and I've been way too busy with classes to keep up with gaming :( Maybe I'll go back on the last day and at least get the Abi score for everything :P But idk if I'll have the time And yeah, the hacker scare freaked me out too. They have professional hackers? :O Although yeah...TDN does get a ton of traffic. It's easier to hatch my Dragon Cave eggs here than it is anywhere else, even the hatch sites lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedhaun Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Gave up on the Daily Dare? I didn't. I've been on a roll for the first half of the month and willing to knock out the other half of the month. At least I've been given the chance to experience games that I've never played before, and giving it my all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 That's a creepy monkey TJ. I've done well with DD so far. I wish I had less work/more energy to be up when it was released more often. But so far, I'm 16/17 AAA. Nova Defender continues to haunt me for now. But I will beat it before the month is out. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm still hoping that I'll miraculously get enough free time to catch up with the Daily Dare sometime later this month. It's not looking likely though. xD They have professional hackers? Hackers are highly skilled, passionate programmers. That's the basic definition of what a hacker is. :) Some of them choose to walk on the shady side of the law, but many others are hard working, thoroughly awesome people. Sadly the term 'hacker' has seen a lot of misuse lately... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose_682 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Oh man I feel so rough today. And I just realised I have 30 minutes to beat AAA in the double dare today, so I better go do that right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I know the feeling. :( But ah well, life's no fun without a little pacing eh? xD ^ This from a guy who has missed multiple double dares and has multiple overdue assignments.

Spritzie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I guess I've been lucky, because I can do the challenges at work, usually before my active work stuff starts. (I have 2 hours from when I get to work until I have to do anything other than answer emails.) Unless of course, it's a game that annoys me, or takes practice. I had to do Chia Bomber at home because it was super-crazy-hyper speed on my work computer and I couldn't keep up. But I had a really easy time at home.

Manta Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Daily Dare is frustrating...Mehhh I'm annoyed :( My throat decided to randomly get all phlegmy and sore on me, while I'm trying to record a song <_< And it's friday, and half of my friends are on a chorus tour so I have no one to talk to...blehh :sad01_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masaryk Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I finally beat AAA at Nova Defender! :rock: I'm disappointed that I won't be getting a gold trophy, but I'm happy that I actually managed to finish it. I really didn't think I would ever be able to do it. But, I managed to make it over the hump tonight. It has, by far, been the worst challenge for me yet.

Rose_682 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 People on the Daily Dare Neoboard have been debating the new rules for Daily Dare trophies, so could you pretty please clarify? Some say that the rules and FAQs make it clear that you will get a gold trophy by beating AAA in every challenge, regardless of whether you do it on release day. Others say that, since the top trophy in past years was based upon beating him on release day, this is actually still the case. So, could you please put a stop to the debate? Which is it? ~butterfly_girl_22 The gold trophy will be awarded to players defeating AAA at all the challenges, regardless of the day on which it is done. This year, instead of having multiple trophies for such things as beating the challenges on their release days, there are bonus prizes each day for completing the challenge on the day it's released. Editorial #484 answer from TDN. So yes, you will be getting a gold trophy, so far. So yeah.... Just so you know ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiaircraft Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Well then, congratulations on maintaining your trophy streak Meghan! ;) I've yet to take on that particular game, but I have a feeling I won't do very well... Daily Dare is frustrating...Mehhh I'm annoyed :( My throat decided to randomly get all phlegmy and sore on me, while I'm trying to record a song <_< And it's friday, and half of my friends are on a chorus tour so I have no one to talk to...blehh :sad01_anim: :( Bleh indeed. I hope your throat's gotten better by now. *insert doctor-y advice about drinking water and such here* And hey, at least you have us to talk to. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Congratulations on triumphing AAA in Nova Defender Masaryk. I thought getting to 700,000 points in Nova Defender was a tough chore, but it has became no sweat for me these days since last Monday. :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
