    Re: NEW BATTLEDOME!

    I just started making a BD pet about a week before this BD stuff started. Figures as much, but I'm really hoping that there will be a plot after they have it all up and running. This will give me a chance to build a nice set while raising my pets stats.

    Re: NEW BATTLEDOME!

    The beta is now up and running.

    Apparently there is no longer any toughness progression for 1p challengers (no hp increase per win) only 3 per-determined difficulties. This might be changed though as nobody seems happy about it.

    Re: NEW BATTLEDOME!

    The new battledome is giving out a lot of good items, I would expect nerks and codestones to drop. In an hour and a half test, dependent on what battledome your currently in, items collected was 14 nerks, 28 codestones, 8 red codestones, and a bunch of little items, battle dagger so on.

    Re: NEW BATTLEDOME!

    Wow you got selected. You can easily make 10m in a day or less. From a while of fighting, my friend got 50 nerks, which is about 8m, quickselling them for 160k each

    This is mad money.

    They tuned down the prizes, because it was grabbing random prizes for the table and not going by the laws of chance they have set.

    Re: NEW BATTLEDOME!

    Does anyone (specifically those of you in the beta) know approximately when the battledome will be back up? Or if there's any way to get into the beta now? I've just gotten back to neopets, and I'm seriously craving my beloved battledome. :(

    From the looks of it, they still have a lot of stuff to do, most of us are thinking around next month.

    Re: NEW BATTLEDOME!

    The Battledome is officially open.

    And a new HT weapon to go along with it
    Aethia is proud to announce that she has her own Battledome weapon up for sale. She said it is being sold somewhere hidden in Faerieland... Where could that be? :)
    16-20 icons for 12 mil


    9th November

    BATTLEDOME OPEN BETA!

    It's here! The New Battledome is now open to all players to beta test. There are still kinks to work out, of course, but we thought it was time everyone had a chance to give it a go, discuss, and send us feedback!

    Since it's beta, some weapons are touchy, some challengers are being mean, prizes need some tweaking, etc., so please send us a bug report for anything you find. You can also check out the Beta News page for information on known issues (i.e. what not to report!) before you dive in.

    A few important notes from Beta News:
    Your old stats are safe and sound! They will be merged with your new stats later on in Open Beta.
    If you're having issues fighting, it may be IE8 or a browser add-on. Try upgrading IE or disabling add-ons.
    Equipping from your inventory is still disabled! Visit the Stats section in the Battledome to equip/unequip.

    After you've gone through all the notes, feel free to rush head-long into battle or check out the new Tutorial to get yourself acquainted first. New challengers await!

    We still have bugs to fix, issues to work out, and feedback to review -- plus stances and abilities revamps on the way -- but we look forward to hearing what you think so far! Please do send us your feedback or join your fellow 'Domers on the Battledome Board to discuss.

    We hope you like it!

    Note to Closed Beta Testers: Your hard work and feedback during the Closed Beta was AWESOME! Thank you so much for all your help. We're working on a little gift to show our appreciation, so expect that in the next week or so. :D

    Had a few fights now and I am really enjoying it.

    Also, Swift Darkfire Negg Bomb is my new favorite weapon ;)
