hrtbrk Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 The Battledome is going to expeirence some maintenance today and tomorrow, which may cause it to be down for a few hours. This only fuels rumors of an upcoming Battledome plot, which TNT has hinted at since the beginning of January. Here's what TNT had to say! Battledome Maintenance - The new Battledome will be undergoing some maintenance today and tomorrow for... reasons. *shifty eyes* During this time, the 'Dome itself may shut down for an hour or two at a time or it may be slow or unresponsive. Sorry for the inconvenience! Maybe while it's down your Neopet could train instead... for no particular reason. *cough* Rebecca~, Mouseykins, vyvren and 1 other 4 Quote

Robosheriff Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Well, I guess i'm off to meet the quota for Battledome prizes before it begins. Quote
SidtheSnail Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I really quite hope there is a plot. For I am anxious ever so much for one. Mouseykins 1 Quote
dummydumpty Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Sneaky TNT! I hope we'll get the abilities and trophies in for Defenders of Neopia. Quote
missjustina Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 I know everyone is saying it could be a new plot, I honestly think its just the Battledome coming out of Beta. Can't wait to find out :) Lady Lyuba 1 Quote
SidtheSnail Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 http://images.neopet.../research.jpg They've gotten the image is working now. Quote
hrtbrk Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 I know everyone is saying it could be a new plot, I honestly think its just the Battledome coming out of Beta. Can't wait to find out :) Would TNT be drawing/teasing all of this new art if it was only the Battledome coming out of beta, though? This is driving me insane. They should just tell us already :dance: dummydumpty and Mouseykins 2 Quote
karmacow Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Also the fact that they're suggesting that training might be a good idea indicates something more than the battledome going out of beta. Quote
Anxious Zombie Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Unless they're planing on giving the opponents steroids :P Anyway, April is a while from now, so hopefully TNT isn't playing us all fools Lady Lyuba 1 Quote
Zephyr Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Oooh sneaky, TNT. Would have never found the pic if not for this thread. While the image shows a Gelert, it doesn't seem like Kanrik. His scar seems to be missing. & in the html the img class for this is "decoded". Oh what are you guys up to now? :dance: Quote
xSummer Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 see now this really ticks me off because the only thing that could help me would be my faerie abilities which well, don't work anymore. I worked so hard on that too. I hope they fix that and then bring it on! Quote
Anxious Zombie Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Are you talking about this image or the older one Zephzr? Because the scar is def. there in the older one Edit: (at summer) if this is a plot, I think TNT will have things like faerie abilities working. It just wouldn't be right with out them Quote
Zephyr Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 This current image, which I can't seem to find the scar as opposed to the first released img :) Quote
Anxious Zombie Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Ah, maybe this new guy is working with him, or against him. I'm so excited! Quote
Zephyr Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I'm so excited too! :D Or maybe this is a younger Kanrik! Or maybe this new guy is a member of the thieves guild! Oh all the possibilites! Quote
Rebecca~ Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Thank god they're doing some maintenance. It took me over half an hour to get through the battles to get my prizes this morning. Ugh. So excited for the plot! Quote
groovyjenny Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 How exactly does one prepare for battledome plots? I mean, how high do our stats need to be? I'm anxious in a bad way :/ Quote
livvy Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 How exactly does one prepare for battledome plots? I mean, how high do our stats need to be? I'm anxious in a bad way :/ Not very high at all! High stats help of course, but it's completely possible to participate in a plot without a strong battle pet. Most plots aren't COMPLETELY battle-based, and even the battle sections usually have at least a few weak challengers that any pet can handle. It would be a great idea to start training now, but if you have limited funds, I'd look more towards putting together a decent weapons set. Our battlepedia should have an article on that somewhere. Look for inexpensive dual-duties like the Scarab Ring. Quote
groovyjenny Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 @livvy - thank you so much! I do appreciate it. I have funds to get a decent battle set and can start training up Elyassin even more (I used him as a labrat for forever, but love his color too much to risk him changing species or color on me :P). I was getting him smarter (he's read over 800 books now!) and now I will focus on battledome training. I have probably close to 1 mil to expend on battledome supplies and training. Other nps are going to getting my plushie paint brush ^^ Quote
Lusia Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I have been itching for another plot lately. Plotsare way too much fun. Quote
Anxious Zombie Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I have probably close to 1 mil to expend on battledome supplies and training. Posts like this make me work harder to earn NP :P Thank you for reminding me I have to update my weapon set by the way, I'm still using two obsidian daggers XD Rebecca~ 1 Quote
~Xandria Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Oh man. This is bad news for me. I haven't been traing my pet at all because I have been waiting to do a pet trade on the 1st and wanted my dreamie kacheek to be a BD pet because of the perks of that particular species. Erg. I feel so stupid now. Spent all my np's on that custom and now have no np's for any of the good weapons. This just makes me think more and more that the entire plot will be mostly focused on the battledome. Considering the recent revamp and now this. Oh well, I'm sure this is great news for everyone has has there pet trained. I am excited to at least *attempt* :laughingsmiley: Rebecca~ 1 Quote

You can get them for dirt cheap. But, I wouldn't wait long to get them as they will likely inflate as soon as our suspicions are confirmed. Here is a great article with a few items that you can get a hold of now: http://battlepedia.thedailyneopets.com/index.php/articles/viewarticle/basic-weapon-sets/#beginner If not, talk to me and I can lend you some as I have spares :P Rebecca~ and ~Xandria 2 Quote
