neon_nightingale Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'm loving all these different factions - it's going to be hard to pick one if we have to. The Sway and the Red Erisim are probably top for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sannah Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I also hope there won't be any 2P battling. It seems logistically difficult, and honestly my pet is nowhere near strong or well equipped enough for that. I still expect that in the end there will be a traditional Big Bad that we're all fighting together. Perhaps the different factions first facing off against each other, but then having to join forces against greater evil. Yea, I love the simple stuff. I don't like the thought of an all-out civil war, really. The Bandit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris10ly Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I've done all the plots except the very first two - and they've all been different in some way - so a bit difficult to say to be honest. However, possibly the closest one I remember is the Champions of Meridell plot, way back in 2002. You could choose whether to fight for Meridell or Darigan. Depending which side you chose, you ended up with different kinds of trophy on your look-up (and a different avatar), but both sides had various (and equal) trophies, depending on how much you participated in the plot, and how many baddies you killed. There wasn't a prize shop back then - you just got automatic prizes depending on how you did. So I would imagine it won't make any substantial difference, except being able to say "My team won!", or not, as the case may be ;) I would be very surprised if there's any 2P battling - probably each team will have different, but equally specced, 1-P challengers to fight. I hope that's how it works out; I hate the idea of having to miss out on certain plot steps or achievements based on the appearance of the team I choose to start out! I know the plot boards on neo have a lot of people speculating there might be a puzzles-only track and a battle-only track, and that sounds terrible to me. My BD pet is totally weak, but I'd still like to try my hand at the challenges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meghanjack Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have a feeling that if they do release a fifth faction it won't be an obvious "good guy" side. I think they're purposely trying to make all the groups slightly bad so it makes it harder to choose which side you wanna be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It seems like everyone is after the obelisk! Who's next, Dr. Sloth? The PPL? Queen Fyora!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 "This will be a war sung of for generations to come." Has to be the best start to a Neopets Plot ever :D DEFINITELY. That line got me so pumped for this! I can't WAIT. Brute Squad has fun stickman drawings :D I started laughing so hard when I saw the stickmen! LOL that's what I thought as well! I was giggling my way through the video. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliciouswaffles Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I would be very surprised if there's any 2P battling - probably each team will have different, but equally specced, 1-P challengers to fight. This is how 2-sided war plots have always been, so I agree. I would be shocked if there was 2-P involvement, particularly of a type that influenced plot progress. In addition to the fact that it would make it difficult for TNT to enforce limits on points possible for beating challengers a certain number of times, it also creates some risk for players. Getting hit with Kacheek or Chia Flours or Eraser of the Dark Faerie is rather unlikely, due to the cost, but it would be easy for malicious players to try to stall the progress of other factions by using BD items that can cause illness (Poison Snowball being a dirt cheap option). 2-P BD in a plot would be a very, very bad inclusion.
