BEE. Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 From June 9th, I'll have to split my time between Mirror's Edge Catalyst and the Altador Cup D: Good luck everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 theres a huge lag and plug-in is crashing for Chrome users i switched to I.E !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 HMMM! I'm thinking/hoping my being in the UK will work in my favour in regard to lag etc. Should be able to play when a lot of the rest of Neopia is ZZZing. :D EDIT: Wow...I totally take back my wishful thinking about being able to avoid the lag -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just4dailies Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 lag & crashing for me too. I was hoping to use nap time to my advantage but that may be difficult if things won't load properly. Trying to play a game with that lag is so confusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charelan Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 OK, I can't seem to figure this out.. how do the mini-games figure in? Is it just that you earn points or can you help your team win the cup by playing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just that you earn points or can you help your team win the cup by playing them? Yeah, you gain team points from playing the side games too, you need to play a lot more of them though. For example winning one yooyuball game gains you 1 game point, but you need to play 12 Shootout Showdown to get the same. But that's a far shorter game so it evens itself out.

alexinwonderland Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Has anyone noticed that yooyuball has gotten a lot easier? Or am I all of a sudden some sort of prodigy? I swear I've never been able to score more than one goal ever before. I actually won today. midnight_spell360 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulia Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 This is my first AC, but I did win my first game of Yooyuball 2 to 1. Do I have to play everyday like Daily Dare or can I play at my leisure? Currently in school so kind of pressed for time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more you play, the more you help your team and the more points you earn for the prize shop. But it's not a "play every day to win a specific prize" type of event. zulia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnight_spell360 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 AC has "lowered" the caps this year for their games: the max in YYB is 40-42 ; 401 in MSN ; 401 in SOSD; and 84 in SS. So while I am pathetically at rank 2, my sister, mintmilanos, who can do 400 games of SOSD with no problem is already at rank 4. :( It really depends on your goals, if you really want the best prizes at the end- you might have to make a plan to pace yourself to make it to All Star Ranking. If you just want to have fun, do as much as you want and cheer on your team. :D As always, Happy Gaming everbody! :rock: Congrats to KI for beating Altador :rambo: , better luck next time Altador teammates :rolleyes_anim: ! zulia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysProcrastinating Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Do I have to reach a certain score for my game to count towards my rank? I am already sick of playing Slushie Slinger...I've played 43 games but my rank is still beginner. For the last 5 games I realised your 'games played' increased even if you ended the game at 5 points...so I did that. Does that affect my non-progression to rank 1? EDIT: *coughs awkwardly* I misunderstood the rank increase numbers...I haven't played enough games yet for rank 1. So, uh, never mind :) EDIT 2: Okay so there is a minimum score necessary for it to count. Do we know what it is? The TDN Altador Cup article says 300 points minimum, but I seem to remember aiming to get 140 minimum last year...and I got a minimum of 140 points in the 52 SS games I've played so far. Help :( EDIT 3: *Ahem*, I found my answer. Thank you to named444 for the following information: Here are the minimum points you need for each game for it to count towards your rank. Yooyuball - Finish the match Slushie Slinger - 270 points Make Some Noise - 3,000 points Shootout Showdown - 35 points sezzzzzzy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

life_eclectic Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'm happy to be participating in the AC again and first time on my current main. I kinda feel like I'm the only one supporting Altador, though I know it's not really true. Anyway, I'm not gonna get to play as much this year because my sis and I are sharing a computer. She is a Darigan supporter and is also better than me. I made 30 goals last night and my sis made 108 in about the same amount of time! In any case, I'm glad to play and support my team ? Best to the other teams and happy gaming ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahjonggmania Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Anyone able to get the games to work on either Microsoft Edge or Modzilla Firefox with windows 10 without the lags and crashing? Please help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezzzzzzy Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Sorry for being such a noob... but does it always say Bonus on Yooyuball? Or is there something special about today?

This is my first AC as well!! Go Krawk Island!!! No it doesn't always say Bonus Game on Yooyuball. Today Yooyuball is the Bonus game (not every day has a bonus game and they alternate) so you get more points for your team playing Yooyuball. :) sezzzzzzy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 theres a huge lag and plug-in is crashing for Chrome users i switched to I.E !! It's not any better on Firefox. I would almost say it's worse.

eternallypeachy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yeah so I tried playing YYB on a laptop and that was a nightmare. I still won but only by one point :shiftyeyes_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yeah so I tried playing YYB on a laptop and that was a nightmare. I still won but only by one point :shiftyeyes_anim: I'm not sure if you're using a mouse/trackpad or your keyboard. I use my Mouse and I'm getting games with 11-0. It honestly takes practice to get there. I remember my first year playing I had such a terrible time with YYB until I got better at it. Keep at it and I'm sure you can do it! :D S_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
