Hanso Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Now that the festival has been cancelled, I'm still wondering if this is gonna be a new event or the plot that Scrappy said would take place in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this means the return of some of our favorite Neopian heroes (and villains)... ~^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Err Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Noooo!! I'm not sure if I visited yesterday :'( no avatar when I view today. So disappointed I missed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirschteins Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Honestly I think I'd like another plot like the Altador one... But I guess we'll have to wait and see what this turns out to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamentis12 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Darn, didn't get the avatar either. Just checked the news, and there was mention of getting our pets battle-ready. I wonder how long they'll make us wait from this time they mention "battling" until the next time they mention it, without any actual battling opponents being revealed? LOL At any rate, my recommendation would be to train. I believe it to be more useful than simply buying expensive equipment. ;) The site theme chance is indeed suspicious! Here is a link to TDN's battle articles. There are good articles and advice for training pets there.http://www.thedailyneopets.com/battledome/index I heartily recommend checking them out for those who are new, or newer to training their pets. The other articles are also excellent reads depending on your experience with battling. If there are any questions, head on over to the Battledome and Battlepedia Chat on these forums and feel free to ask. Staff and users alike here are friendly and knowledgeable. ;) If there's a new event a-brewin' and battling to be a-doin', then let's all have some fun preparin'. lol Ok so that last one doesn't exactly fit the rhyme. I can only do that part of the time. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernael Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I just saw this... Who are those pets in the background, I wonder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamentis12 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Hmmmmmmmmm I was wondering last night, MAYBE this has something to do with the Darkest Faerie? Just with as dark and PURPLE as the place where the Faerie Festival was being held got, it SURE reminds me of a few areas controlled by The Darkest Faerie, in the Playstation 2 game, Neopets: The Darkest Faerie. Good game, except when it glitched/froze. LOL First PS2 game I beat. ;) PURE Speculation on my part though. LOL ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I looked back at the faerie's ruin plot, I remembered that at the end, they said they'd lost the darkest faerie's statue, and someone was going to go investigate, and they've never done anything with that in Neopia. I never did the ps2 game, so I wasn't sure what they *had* done with her, if it was still set up that she is missing and was possibly un-statued with the other faeries, even though she was frozen separately. Therefore that she could have been hiding out gaining strength for the last 7 years. Aquamentis12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the events taking place on The Darkest Faerie's game was wa~y before the events on The Faerie's Ruin. The game itself introduced us to Altador, and also to The Altador Plot in that matter...

Ah, so it was a prequel, which leads even more to the theory that TNT was setting up something to eventually use her again in another plot. And given that so far they are totally echoing the faeries ruin, this is a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoterza Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'm hoping for some battling. My trained pet just reached 900 stats and 1000 hit points. I've been training fairly steadily since the obelisk war when I couldn't beat anyone on hard. I hope the red codestones don't skyrocket though. Yeah, pretty much anything that involves the battledome would make me happy :) Aquamentis12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for a bit and remembered that after the Battle for Maraqua war event happened. That the new maps of both Maraqua and the Ruins, didn't have the darkest faerie statue in them. Now I'm wondering if her statue isn't guarded by the giant sea slug in the Ruins of Maraqua. More speculation, but who knows where TNT will take this new plot they are hinting at?

It's also important to remember that the statue doesn't really mean anything anymore. It's just a nod to her whereabouts before the events of the PS2 game took place (right at the beginning of the game, she escapes from her stone prison, as you can see here ). It would be great to see her again though. She has always been my favourite Neopets' villain. kirschteins and Aquamentis12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I forgot about the full opening vid for the PS2 game! It's been YEARS. ;) lol I wonder, could we POSSIBLY be in for a recreation of The Darkest Faerie, on Neopets? That would be WILD-COOL! I do wish they could've made the cutscenes look less like stop-motion animation, since it was CGI. ;) Hanso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobert_Doo Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 If you visit the Faerie Festival link today, there is new dialogue. Queen Fyora is talking with the Battle Faerie and it appears the Angry Yurble (?) saw something. http://www.neopets.com/faeriefestival/ Interesting question and comment in yesterday's Neopian Times Editorial, Issue 799, 29th day of Gathering, Y19, Question #3: "On behalf of those who support Xandra as the one true tyrant of neopia, I dutifully demand that Fyora free Xandra from stone, and return her to her rightful position as representative of the pets. :) Yours Sincerely, The Xandra Fan Club ~morganjoisle" "Request denied." Hard to tell if the plot would deal with Xandra or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanso Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I just love how Fyora kinda tells the Battle Faerie to shut up for a moment 6 hours ago, jellysundae said: The battle faerie looks bizarre in that dialogue Now that you mention it, she does look kinda odd, doesn't she? I suppose it's her facial expression. Jumpstart is not very good at modifying old art. kirschteins and jellysundae 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamentis12 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 13 hours ago, jellysundae said: The battle faerie looks bizarre in that dialogue /unhelpful addition to conversation Looks like they drew her Iris too big in the eye screen-right, with that bit of hair over the part of that eye, you can't really see any white of the eye except on the other side of that bit of hair. So, it looks like she's part dark faerie now.... lol Kidding, or one could query if Fyora gave her a shiner. Also joking there. Fyora's got more patience than that. ;) jellysundae 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellysundae Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 You guys have me intrigued now, as you what you've mentioned isn't what made her look weird to me, so I did a side-by-side comparison to try and pin it down. It's her mouth that does it for me, the way her top lip's been drawn gives her massive teeth and makes her look like a sneering mule. The edit of her left eye does look off too, too much black in the point, isn't there. Makes me sad because I love her regular sassy expression, I think she's my favourite faerie looks wise, and they've made her look kind of gormless in this pic. And they've removed her cool cartilage piercing too, I wonder why! Aquamentis12 and Nielo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
