Battledome Beta Opened To Everyone!

I skipped around a lot more today because I was tackling a much more damaging Hard opponent--the Turmaculus--so I had to fight more pushovers to heal. Observations from today's battling:

 

1) The false "Item limit reached" message bug is fixed. It no longer displays the message until you have received 15 items.

2) You still get nothing for some fights. (I had a long dry spell--7 fights in a row with no items.)

3) You can get 3 items from a single fight. (My first fight awarded a weapon, a food, and a challenger-themed item. Unlike my test in the Cauldron, the foods did not seem to follow an arena theme.)

 

Subjectively, it seems that alternating between a very tough opponent and much weaker ones resulted in lesser rewards. It could just have been luck of the draw, though--much more data will be needed to support that conclusion. I think I will return to my Balthazar-bashing tomorrow to see if the rewards from that were a fluke.

I have been playing daily until no longer able to collect prizes after 10 'you've reached your limit' notices.

The past 2 days I have just played until I saw 15 items in my inventory (presumably I have hit that 15 mark daily since prizes actually started being doled out).

 

I got a Basic Golden Nerkmid on one of the first prize days...but, have not gotten a 'high value' item since.

Today is the first day I remembered to take note of my prizes before processing them...and it was actually a better than average day for me.

 

My 15 prizes (all won by beating S750 Kreludan Defender Robot on Hard) were:

 

Helm-mounted Laser beam

Kew Codestone

Vux Codestone

Zed Codestone

Lu Codestone

Mau Codestone

Blue Neocola Tokens x3

Red Neocola Tokens x3

Evil Negg

Space Spice

N-4 Info Retrieval Bot

 

Not so shabby.

Do wish I'd get another Nerkmid though :P

I'll leave off the detailed list this time, though I'm still tracking them. I fought Balthazar, reaching the item limit after the 9th battle.Every fight gave at least item this time. That could be luck, or it could be another bug fixed. I'm still getting a few items appearing in my inventory without showing on the reward popup.

I haven't heard anyone say that they have recieved a gift yet, so I guess they just haven't gotten around to it! :)

Hey anyone noticed on the Neopian Times someone asked to downgrade the Darkfire Swift Meerca Bomb!

 

Just read it myself! That's disappointing (but it makes sense). We'll need to update the BP when it changes.

Sadly, the programmers are already doing something!

i really use it all the time for all my battles :( i cant believe someone complained though.. its a cheap and great item! what more could you want?

IKR, TNT needs to make more effective bombs.

I know the editorial said that, but the Negg is currently still once per battle. When they change it is when we'll change the BP.
