Musical_Shoyru Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Did anyone else get a Rod of the Super Nova for the Advent Calendar and than have it snatched by the Paint Devil on the same page? Not in a random event, but right under the image itself. If so, that's a really cruel trick TNT! ;/ Not cool. Also, did anyone have an error message while collecting the Candy Cane prize? I looked in my inventory and I did get a winter themed prize from it, but not a Candy Cane Chest :((
tk421beth Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I did get the Rod of Super Nova snatched away from me as well...so I'm thinking everyone else will too!
Songbirdsara Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I had the same, and I'm pretty sure I remember TNT pulling this stunt before - pretend to give a fancy item, then have it "stolen".
Velvaden Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 They've done that for years, I believe. xD When I had my first account they were still doing it-- perhaps someday they'll actually give us the item? lol Lamppost and Screaming_Peasants 2
snowqueen Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 They did that last year too. There was even someone who took the joke to a different level in the boards. He said that he got the rod from TNT and it was in his trades. Everyone who checked the trading post saw only a toy rod of supernova. I felt disappointed yet relieved at the same time.
Musical_Shoyru Posted December 10, 2014 Author Posted December 10, 2014 I must have missed the days that they've done it because I've been on here for 6 years and didn't know they gave out things like that and had them stolen. Quite the cruel joke I think, so much for the giving season. lol

I looked in my inventory and I did get a winter themed prize from it, but not a Candy Cane Chest :(( Mine was taken by the Pant Devis as well...I did get two prizes, but not a chest today....If I were able, I'd send you one from previous days, as I'm not using them.
deanxcas Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Yes TNT absolutely loves this joke haha. They do it every year during the advent calendar. Lamppost 1
Brit Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Pretty sure this has been a running gag for the last few years. It hasn't always been the Rod of Ultra Nova. Last year is was a different rod... the black one. idk the name. Take a look through the advent calender guide from years passed. I'm almost 100% positive they've done this every year for at least the last 3 years or so.
Lia Seeya Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Ah yes, this gag. This is why I don't trust the AC when it gives out a rare item that has nothing to do with the day's animation, because they end up pulling this "The Pant Devil has taken it!" kind of prank. :P
Marae19 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 I'm actually really happy that I wasn't the only one. I was pretty excited when I saw I got a BD item, but then I read what was below and was quite sad :( I'd have liked that rod... Musical_Shoyru 1
Kute Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 haha yea, its been ongoing for years *grumble* good ol tnt.....
Mirandaell Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 What a sad joke. I was wondering if it was just mine, but I was relieved to see that every ones was taken. still how cruel :(
cassyox Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 i had no glitch i got an item and a chest. and the only joke was when i collected my daily prize and the pant devil stole it.... i didint get a random event like that though

Without a screenshot to see the error it's hard to tell what it is. :)
leverhelven Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I wonder if we'll have people asking about the Rod and the Pant Devil every year... :rolleyes_anim: Yes, they do this very same joke EVERY year :P hrtbrk and Ruto 2

Just because someone posted it and didn't know it happened every year isn't bad. I know it's possible to be playing Neopets for years and still not know the ins and outs of everything lol This topic has been edited by a member of staff (Rune Valentine).
