el_blubo Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I had just gotten out of the cave of terror when both of my characters were defeated and I lost 5000 gold :( what's your worst horror story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbreeze Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yesterday I was fighting Gors. I was at a higher level than the guide I'm using suggested. He hit me with a poisoned blast, then a 2 round stun, then another 2 round stun. So I was knocked out for four rounds. He kept hitting me, and the poison drained away my health. Now I have to go back through the whole maze. :sad02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I was playing on evil and was ~90% of the way done, then I started grad school. Came back to it about a year later to discover that games get wiped after a year of inactivity. I definitely learned that lesson the hard way!

Ali Cat Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I had that wipe story happen as well :( Fortunately, I was playing on the lowest difficulty and only got halfway through. When I discovered what had happened, I didn't touch the game for years afterward since I was so ticked off. Eventually managed to go back and start again (and eventually finish for a bronze trophy!), but it was really disheartening that it got wiped. Siniri, I'm not sure what I would've done if what happened to you had happened to me >_< Did you ever play again to beat that difficulty?

paperdoll66 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 A few weeks ago, Neopets had a bit of a hiccup when I was fighting easy enemy and it randomly just killed me even though I had plenty of life left. It was right as everyone was trying to get their battledome trophies, but I had no idea what was going on until a few hours later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpssaylost Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It's been a while ago since I played Neoquest. But definitely when I played Insane for Neoquest II for the item but I died entering the third world. That was not a fun day to be around me.

Siniri, I'm not sure what I would've done if what happened to you had happened to me >_< Did you ever play again to beat that difficulty? I did start again after a year or two, for the avatar(s?) I had missed, but with my now-active pet (the other one had an at-the-time very expensive paint job -- for me, anyway -- and I didn't want to spend so many clicks with her active), on normal. And I only played up to wherever the avatar was... but now I make sure to log into NQ and NQII on my birthday and around New Year's. I finally finished that game a few weeks ago* -- it was active for probably 4 or 5 years! I should play it again on evil and insane before I paint my current active pet (my battle pet whom I lab to help her train faster; once she reaches the max boosts, I'll stop labbing -- she's got at least a year or two left, I think, though I should do that math). *Funny story: the end page with the video glitched on me, so I refreshed it, and it took me back to the empty fortress with no enemies. I couldn't leave the Two Rings and I thought my game was stuck forever, and I didn't want to have to play normal again. I even sent in a bug report and was told there was nothing TNT could do. Then I found a FAQ on IDNQ that told me all I had to do was click the "options" button. Phew! It was gut-wrenching until I found the solution. I would have probably never played again if I had really had to start over on Normal again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 To me, playing neoquest is a horror story in and of itself. The neopets server is the toughest opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamppost Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I was playing on evil and was ~90% of the way done, then I started grad school. Came back to it about a year later to discover that games get wiped after a year of inactivity. I definitely learned that lesson the hard way!Oh no! I had no idea games get wiped! *goes to play NQ right now* I've had a couple times where I was fighting the Elemental Golems in NQI on Insane and lost. :( Currently I'm just about ready to take on Jabhal on Insane, and I'm scared to do it because I don't want to lose and have to do everything again. Edit: Phew! My game is still there! I'm Level 48... Edited March 13, 2013 by Lamppost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 To me, playing neoquest is a horror story in and of itself. The neopets server is the toughest opponent. Ugh, am I ever with you on that one. >.< I didn't have too many issues while playing it, aside from you know... playing it. I started doing the refresh thing in NQI to get through battles, which meant that I lost sometimes. XD That was about the worst of it though.

dummydumpty Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Wah, games being wiped?? That's terrible. To me, playing neoquest is a horror story in and of itself. The neopets server is the toughest opponent. This, so much! It's really painful with the lag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
