hrtbrk Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The Battlegrounds are busy as three factions fight to win special boons. Head to the battledome now to help your faction take home the prize! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireia Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 *Growls and throws test tubes* Go Seekers! Really, 10 days of non-stop battling seems a lot... I sort of expected neopet vs neopet battling, but I guess that's ok. I won them once, I should defeat them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleagh Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Uh-oh....seems there's no limit to the battling, but I don't have a lot of time to devote to the BD over the next week :S This will be interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliciouswaffles Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 With no guidelines as to how this works, I'm just going to assume that beating the hardest opponents on the hardest level benefits your faction the most, and then it goes down from there. Maybe TNT will give us some idea of what's going on in the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peabrain Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Does anyone know if it's just the boons at stake now? Am I going to be able to buy prizes with my points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakka9ca Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The lack of details on how the scoring will be made is kinda expected. However, last time there was a least a bar to fill... This time... ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essiw Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So how many opponents should we beat each day... 50? 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Valentine Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 At least the regular challengers remain. <_< It's annoying, all this ambiguity. TNT basically telling us, grind it up and see what happens! Not making me feel too motivated about it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshou Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Per editorial #590: The prize shop and your points are from the war and will not increase or vanish once the timer winds down. The war be over, it's just for... well, not sure WHAT we're fighting for now, other than possibly a rotating possession of those tasty, tasty-looking boons they had up. I'm not particularly motivated to slave away at the battlegrounds as much this time around, other than taking the opportunity to smack down.... o/~ Laaaaaaaambert!

lovedwallflower Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 It's annoying, all this ambiguity. TNT basically telling us, grind it up and see what happens! Not making me feel too motivated about it all. I couldn't have said it better. I'm so demotivated that I'm actually fighting Jetsam Ace first. The promise of a potential nerkmid is far more than these boons anyway. they're not all they're cracked up to be honestly :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sannah Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The only reason that I'll do this is to hopefully have another shot at a Thieves Guild avatar... the boons are not that interesting, really (though I like the Stock Market one). kris10ly and Spyke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimphal Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I fought Jetsam Ace a few times, the idea being I will fight him till I get a Nerkmid (they fund my recent Food Club obsession, a day without Nerkmid = no betting). Fought three battles, got two Nerkmids, decided it was time to help in the war a bit. A tiny bit. Already got the boons once, not too fussed if I don't get them again :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essiw Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So I am confused, could I just do nothing and see if my team wins? Or do I get nothing if I do nothing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So I am confused, could I just do nothing and see if my team wins? Or do I get nothing if I do nothing... Sway members who didn't get at least (some number greater than) 10k points in the war didn't get the extra site theme, avatar, or boon choice. I presume there's some minimum requirement here as well. And by not telling us, TNT motivates everyone to work harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbreeze Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'm a bit more prepared for this round and will probably be able to beat the 3rd level challengers (on easy)... I wish there was a way to sort by the war, though, so I don't have to see all the other, regular battledome challengers. Anyway, off to battle! Edit: Oof, I was hoping that they'd reinstate auto-healing. No such luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novelista Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I was hoping for the return of auto-healing. Yikes! The only thing worse than that is the reminder from the editorial that there will be no prizes this round, other than the boons. What the squeak am I playing for, if not for another hack at a paintbrush or three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essiw Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 So we are only fighting for boons? I don't get the boons, are they permanent or can you only use them once and then they wear out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missjustina Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'm trying my best to like this event, I really am but I just don't get it. There wasn't even an explanation to why the awakened wasn't in this round, and Tyrannia just got a makeover without a story o_0 If this is an ongoing thing only fighting for boons then I won't be participating anymore /: MaskedBeastDesGardius and ~Xandria 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaylaTheHedgehog Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yay! My favorite punching bag (Petty Pilferer) is back. Sorry, members of the Thieves Guild. I do miss the auto-heal though. How's everyone else going about this? I'm only sticking to the lower leveled opponents and only battling until I reach the NP and item limits. Depending on how my trips to the Healing Springs go, I may battle more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerrdj Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 What is Jetsam Ace and where can I find him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novelista Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Jetsam Ace must be part of the Order, because he's not on my list, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Jetsam Ace is unrelated to the war. He's a normal challenger that's only available if you have a premium account on Neopets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siniri Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Ugh. Heavy Robe of Thievery is still broken (TNT hasn't even bothered to respond to my ticket). I tried to freeze the Roadside Bandit with my RFFR so I could full-heal and try Lambert again, but the RFFR killed him. Oops. Guess that new strength boost is a little *too* good. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliciouswaffles Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Take note: The timer has been fixed to show that we actually have only three more days (four total, including today) to battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
