So, today I decided that I wanted to knock out some more avvies, and I went into the commonly completely Battledome ones, and decided to try and grab some of the super easy ones like "Hello Little Lupe... BOOM!", however, upon trying every combination of losing to a Lupe in 2P, losing to Balthazar, losing to Ghost Lupe, GETTING a Lupe and losing with him -- I'm still avatarless.

Is this just one of those weird "Battledome's in beta and still kind of buggy" things, or is something not working properly? Are they awarded randomly upon completion of the possible criteria?

Any ideas would be radical.

EDIT: Well, golly, I seem to have egg on my face, my avvie list just updated and apparently I was awarded the avatar, although somewhat belatedly. Never saw a SHH confirmation, though. Mods can close the thread, my apologies.

From what I understand all BD avatars as well as Defenders of Neopia avatars are still unavailable except for the Obelisk War themed ones. Silly, I know. I still need every.single.one. of them.

I'm not sure which Lupe related thing awarded me the avvie, I tried a whole mess of permutations and it showed up in my list about 20 minutes after I gave up, haha.

 

I read somewhere that outside of the DoN avvies, they were all supposed to be back up and running, but some have changed their obtaining procedure?

 

I dunno, it's a bit of a pain for a beta that has been running for a couple of years now; maybe Jumpstart can get it a stable release and pull DoN back into the mix.

I hope so! I just got back into Neo after a few years hiatus in January so there are some things that haven't been working since I've been back, thus my avatar hunting endeavors seem a little empty because there are some I cannot fulfill. I really want DoN stuff to get back up to par before they're retired. ): Thanks for the info, though. Now I will try to get the Lupe one and some others I previously thought were not possible. ^_^

I still need the Brothers avatar as well... I'm not holding my breath; TNT don't exactly have great track record for speed when it comes to these kinds of things - anyone remember the Pound?

This isn't true (as you may have figured out already). Only the DoN ones are unavailable. TNT has confirmed this on their BD Status page. You can check on the status of the BD updates at http://www.neopets.com/dome/beta.phtml. Good luck!

Yes I did. herrashmoo enlighted me on the subject of his own thread. XD Thank you though!
