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 :((

 

 

I did get the Rod of Super Nova snatched away from me as well...so I'm thinking everyone else will too!

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".

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

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.

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

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.

Yes TNT absolutely loves this joke haha. They do it every year during the advent calendar.

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.

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

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...

haha yea, its been ongoing for years *grumble* good ol tnt.....

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 :(

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

A treasure chest is not guaranteed to be found everyday, so that could be why you got that sort of message. Without a screenshot to see the error it's hard to tell what it is. :)

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

People will ask about it every year if it never happens to them. 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
