This plot takes roughly 5 minutes to complete, has virtually no substance, and NO BATTLING. The only interesting bits in plots have ever been battling, all other parts of it have been trivial, and meaningless. Except for the comics. Some of those were good. In conclusion: we need a war. Discuss.
yes.. make all this training and bding have a purpose. The grapes release is probably to blunt the blow of the terrible plot, give the BDers a weekend of craziness refreshing and frenzied trading to distracted them from sub-par plot
Neopets doesn't have the server capabilities to handle a full out war or other events with a lot of battling anymore. If any of you were around during the last true "wars," you'll remember the site actually came to a stand still and it took up to a minute for each page load. I remember the first wave of the 2nd meridell war and it too like 5 minutes to finish 1 match. This was like 6 years ago... now neopets is a lot bigger. I don't think we'll ever see a "war" again, maybe at best some light battling.
is it really the servers? i mean now they're owned by viacom so i think its more of a goal-oriented problem. look at the nc mall and all the recent changes/ads. more of a profit-making site now so i don't think they'll waste their time with a bd plot. but i really hope for a two-sided war one hella want to try out my improved pet.... since the Hatic war -_-
Personally, my neopet and my budget doesn't allow me to do anything in war now. I think a war is expected in the near future but definitely not this year :|
why would they eliminate a war plot entirely but keep introducing these other plots? they can just as easily integrate NC mall stuff into a war plot. I think it is the servers and neopets has gotten too big for its own good. i dont know a lot about how to run a website as big as neopets, but i think thousands of people flooding into a tiny yet complicated portion of the site such as the battledome will cause connection problems. Connection problems and site slowdown because of an overload in the battledome= less money from ads = less money from people not being able to access NC Mall ive seen microsoft's and amazon's servers crash because of a sudden overload of people into a tiny corner of their site before. microsoft's crashed during the release of the vista trial like 3 years back. amazon's servers crashes during black friday every single year. I'd bet a pretty penny microsoft's and amazon's servers are both larger and more stable than neopets'.
This is a crazily noob plot where people have to play FLASH GAMES. It's probably to cater to the needs of the young 8 years olds
There probably is never ever going to be a war like darigan vs meridell that was the greatest plot ever. Sure it didn't cater to everyone but who the cake cares bders almost always get the short end of the stick at least alternate between cakey kiddy game thumb up my butt plots and destroying things in the dome plots. *Sorry still a little pissed because I missed a 5th grape from cove -_-*
Yes. I've been training my pet ever since the last (decent) war, in hopes of doing well in the next war. But I've been assuming that there's going to be a 'next' war all these years... =/
Holy I had no idea that this plot didn't result in a war. What a let down. I was ampted for a war; I even sold all my items to get training done with I went from 125 strength boost to 200 in less than a week. This sucks...
I never really got the whole concept of plots and I've always stayed out of them. But this new plot just seems so.. meaningless I've read some guides about it, tried it, but couldn't complete the game, so I gave up since I didn't see the point in the plot =P And I've never tried a plot with wars ..
me too!!! i'm good at most games, but the new games are nearly impossible!!! like, my highest score on clolud raiders is like 400 or something.
Lol, mine is 950-something. Annoyed the crap out of me, so I stopped trying xD so close, yet so far..
woah you are good!!! i'm really bad at action games, i'm okay at puzzle and adventure though. altough, i'm pretty good at clara on ice.
