I have stolen every item several times except for shield which happened once, then I got multi froze and killed. I spend half my battles frozen, purple whorebag.

Hey, folks. We're posting to apologise for the boss weirdness and explain what happened.

Our apologies to Brute Squad and Order members who tried to fight this morning and couldn't. (Please don't worry about the time you've missed. We've got you covered and it won't affect your standing!) And the explanation starts............................ now!

Without giving too much away, the bosses are indeed a group effort but there is a chance that really strong players (who fight for over 3 hours and 2000+ epic rounds! How awesome is that!?) can rack up a victory and "kill" it. We'll just say that these bosses aren't your normal Neopets, and in the case of one person taking them down in a blaze of glory, said bosses would resurrect to fight again until the group brings the HP to 0 overall.

As you know, that last part didn't happen like it should have, causing Wrath and Envy to stay "defeated" for an extended period this morning. They have now been resurrected properly (and the bug fixed) and you can continue fighting to bring them down to 0 HP as a group as intended. We've also changed around some abilities to even things out a bit, FYI.

To those wondering what this means as far as the final winner goes, we'll say that ALL fighting, from Wave 1 up through these... things, is counted for your faction. One person getting a victory against a boss helps (because it's pretty awesome). Defeating your boss first as a group helps more. But these are by no means the only things contributing! Everything is taken into account. Things are pretty close right now, so if you want to win, keep fighting.

Sorry again for the extended death sequence. And good luck to anyone else attempting a massive takedown!

Err actually i dont think battledome is still in beta since they released the Trophy for the old battledome and the new faerie abilities. The word Beta has been...removed from the battledome header since then i believe...so about resetting the records it seems...TNT won't go through the trouble to do that again. xD However I do agree that this event was done to make sure the new BD is running smoothly. But aside from that ....

 

the battle records aren't merged, yet, tho, and there's still a lot to fix (loads of abilities are still bugged - e.g. all lvl 100 ones, some other random ones for 1p challengers, reflecting attackers like ppot/vpot/gc still don't work, defenders of neopia wasn't working, you couldn't get some challengers like quiggle warlord, ...) and there's still some features (e.g. stances, species abilities/resistances) missing, so I wouldn't expect to go straight away and say "it's out of beta" once this is over.

 

we're all little test subjects in this war and a whole lot of things went horribly wrong, so I'd guess they're still experimenting quite a bit - at least I hope so

[Elindoril]

I filled up the bar and managed to get neither of the achievements.

I'm just that good.

Happened to me as well.... You are not alone, my friend.

How many deaths did everyone end up getting?

[Elindoril]

How many deaths did everyone end up getting?

Around 400.

I wasn't going to get the achievements so I stopped.

[Sage]

How many deaths did everyone end up getting?

135-15-208. I stopped the instant my bar was filled, since I did 99% of it manually (autobattler wouldn't stop crashing).

[Royalflush]

I just filled the bar. If only I had known about this autobattle before, it would have saved me hours and hours.

How many deaths did everyone end up getting?

 

106 - 30 - 213

 

It was such a pain...

[Dot]

How many deaths did everyone end up getting?

 

A little over 400. Got the bar filled at 330 or so but wanted to do a bit extra for the team, they were a bit slow compared to the others.

 

I really hope this is the end of the mindnumbingly boring battling. Either come up with something exciting or end it already, please!

[Kauvara]

[Royalflush]

[Sage]

Hold up, Greed was defeated first? ... EFF YEAH THIEVES' GUILD

[Romy]

Complains about no war/plot; complains about war/plot taking too long.

Well to be fair it did lack a bit of creativity, so it did start to drag on for a while.

I'm just ready to see what's in the damn obelisk!

[Lasciel]

For making Death that impossible to beat (I think it was on purpose, to make it all cool and philosophical), there had better be some awesome reward for the faction members *humph*

 

Can't wait for this war to move on already, be it to end or on to the next step if there is one. I don't think they expected this stage to last as long as it did...

[CoROmni]

With what I've seen in the boards, I'm just surprised that Wrath was 3rd...I expected it in 1 or 2. I'm just glad to see Envy as second.

[Elindoril]

"You open the obelisk and it shoots out a beam of light that blinds you! You regain your vision and find that Tyrannia has taken a new form!"

That's it; the end.

The sad thing is that the real thing is not going to be far from that

[Mikali]

Thank you to whoever took down Death to the end!

I've been expecting nothing at all beyond crappy everybody-already-has-a-ton-of-these prizes, a trophy that went to anybody who so much as clicked a faction, and a redesign for Tyrannia. I wish they'd stop wrapping up these art updates in repetitive events so you didn't know what the functional result was going to be.

Maybe they'll surprise you this time. 

 

Spoiler

they won't.

[Revan79]

I wonder what prizes we are going to get.  I did 300 battles of loses.  I used my main bd pet as I had five pets and couldn't really get one from the pound and sure didn't want to give a pet away to just get a pet to use that on.  Hope they do something as one day of not being able to do nothing.  Some think it's over. Others think there's something else coming out of that obelisk!  Regardless the war plot was kinda of boring because of no HP increasing.
