Channel 5 News Update!
Titania McGee here with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date information.
Just when things were looking bleakest, a few intrepid people have managed to pull together and start dealing damage to the creature now threatening Subeta. She seems to be retreating for now, but we\'ve had reports of Subetans hearing her scream \'I\'ll be back!\' so it\'s likely that she is taking time to rejuvenate. If you are not able to help battle this monster in the conventional way when she inevitably returns, Connor Rainsong and Mathis still need all the help they can get crafting weapons to take on the fight!
It appears that the final blow of this stage was dealt by
Emrys. Good luck to all of our current and future brave battlers and crafters!
Note: We\'re planning on releasing the next stage of the World Boss at around 5pm tonight, and the final stage at noon tomorrow, aiming to keep each stage going for several hours to give multiple timezones a chance to participate. - Subetateam

Someone putting in millions of sp slowly over an extended period of time for a longterm investment is not at all equivalent to someone pouring at millions at once for the promise of a single event and its prizes. My pet is tier 3, and even if I do nothing, it'll still be tier 3 by the next event! But the millions these other people have paid for this event won't count towards that next one. With that in mind, the price of the items Connor is asking for is too steep. Thus, I stand by my earlier criticism.

the staff does get paid for this so...
and when there are no events, people leave the site, and there will be no income

To try and correct sleep pattern or to stay up for the battle?

does it count even if you attempt with a pet too low? I know I missed out on some more prizes re gelatin battle for not attempting it.

I'm really shocked that some people are so bitter about the time zone thing. I dont think it's poor planning, really, I think those are times where staff can be on. I mean, I get that it sucks that you can't participate unless you stay up at some ungodly hour, and I am sorry for those who cant weasel their way in in time but...it's not something to be /rude/ over??? :
I mean...I think this event is pretty fair. (It's the first one ive participated in, too!) I'm a little sad that I just became active again and don't have the resources yet to beef up my battlers or throw zillions at Connor like I want to but...this definitely isn't horrible. Ah...as long as we all get a highfive/something cool out of it, ill be golden.
Staff dont have to give us events at all, yanno. Maybe a 'thanks for the effort/time' would really make their day sometime. No one is perfect and they squeezed in quite a bit of battling for people. Annnnnd the art is pretty dang amazing.
So I guess that's all. I just think people need to cool their jets, enjoy the pretty art and be happy there is an event at all.

err actually, only one person could get that final blow. That's how it works. its a competition and in the end, it's got quite a fair bit of luck involved. It was probably at least a 1/300-500 shot at that moment. I suspect tonight will be like 1/1000 chance since it's a more active time.

I love the way this fight is tiered so that (almost) everyone can get a hit in. What I DON'T like is having the 'final blow done by...' part on the news.
A lot of people went to work on her last night and she was nearly defeated then. But she was regenerated several times. A LOT of those people could've have gotten in the final blow if the opponent had NOT been regenerated and I'm sure at least a FEW of those feel robbed.

I made my pet stronger for this by stat boosting... hope i could do some more damage than the first stage.
I also hope we get another boss on the next stages.

So the first wave starting at 11pm on a day where I woke up at 6am for work is convenient for me because I'm NA? I don't think so, but because I actually strive to participate and want to compete, I made myself stay up for 6hours straight battling when the comfort of a pillow would've been a godsend. If you have previous commitments that you can't reschedule, that's on no one but yourself. If you just don't feel like staying up, that's on yourself. If you could make time but choose not to, that's on you. It's not poor planning on the staffs part. This is by far the most fair boss fight that there has been, and before and after the first round it was completely transparent...
Also to the people complaining because they spent 1m for each quest: I used over 600m worth of boosters from my stash in the last week to stay in the top tier of competition. Being competitive requires putting some resources in. If you're not worried about being competitive, then just don't worry about it. But don't expect everything handed for you, that's just ridiculous. Furthermore, those quests only give 250-500 damage worth each time. A new pet could do more than that in 15 minutes if they took 10 minutes to read the battling guides plastered all over the site.

So for everyone who doesn't battle we spend over 1 mil? I really regret participating in this event now.

Training a battle pet is also not free.
So I take it there's not going to be a change made to Connor so that people don't have to spend 400k-1mil for every single weapon? Seems a little unfair for that to be the only consolation for non-battlers when it's so expensive...

I'm going to assume that if you buy the ingredients for Connor, that you will be able to turn them into Mathis again at 5pm? Can Staff confirm? Before I give away/sell said items? That would make sense.

Let's see... 5 pm would be around 1:30 2 am for me. I'll stay up as long as I can then. And the next one will be... 8 pm? Oh good! Perfect time! I'd better start earning. And training my pet!

Hmm. I missed the first wave even though it was perfect for my timezone in South Korea, but I was travelling across the country to visit friends for the weekend. The other times are 5 a.m. tonight when I'll be asleep and midnight Sunday night, when I'll also be asleep. :S Ah well, I did the weapon thing with Connor a few times. I'd love to battle and have a battle pet, but I guess it's the other option for me this time! Thanks for a non-time zone option.

EST hit the jackpot, too. I was on a bit late last night after all, and 5 pm and noon are going to be pretty easy for me! I ended up needing to go to bed around halfway through the first boss, so hopefully I can stick around and deal a lot more damage to the next couple.

I do like a 48 hour world boss, non-stop, regenerating challenger, so everyone in all timezones can participate. I bet a lot of battlers would be up 48 hours battling. LOL.

Would it be possible for future boss battles to have lets say 3 stages and users can only participate in 2? That way users can plan ahead and choose which 2 fit their schedules the most. It would give the bad timezones a better chance at doing more damage while the good timezones can't do as much damage cumulatively.
Unless each stage is a different boss I guess. D:

Just because a time doesn't work for you personally doesn't mean it's poor planning or the staff is deliberately trying to exclude people. The world's a big place and the staff has lives too. 9__9

Scratch my previous comment, just read Rah's message about needing staff online! Hadn't considered that, I'm sure staff know what they're doing better than I could tell them to do their jobs!

Bioshock
I'm lucky enough that I'll probably be able to make both of the last two waves, but it does seem kinda sucky for some people who can't. I don't see why the challenger can't just be open all the weekend, regenerating after each kill as many times as necessary. Then people who only have a small window of opportunity don't miss out and those who can be around all times can battle when they like.

i can't believe there's not *one* release during midday/afternoon for (northern) europeans. you give me 5am, 1am, and 6pm? ***on the last day***?! wow, i SURE am gonna get a lot of hits in on THIS one! i would hardly call this taking different time zones into consideration. i had all day from 12pm available yesteday. i have THE ENTIRE SATURDAY off, free to do whatever! sunday? family at 1pm, so you see my problem here? i'm not even sure i'll be available for the pitiful last time slot to get a hit in and maybe get a few points.
users should not have to sacrifice this much to participate in a plot ("wah, wah, don't participate!") no, do some better planning.
glad all the americans with top tier pets will get to bask in all the plot points now that all times have catered to them.

I guess I should have stayed up last night. I just couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. Got a date tonight with the hubs, and I am sure he will not appreciate me cancelling it just to battle.
I don't understand why the one that is at 5pm tonight was not for like 11am or 12pm subeta time today? Europe seems to be getting the short end of the stick here.

As someone who woke up to the first round being well over I really appreciate the effort being put into giving people multiple times to work with. While they might not all work for everyone I think this is definitely a step in the right direction for how to deal with bosses like this.

So wave 1 is in the middle of the fucking night for europe
Wave 2 is in the middle of the fucking night for europe
And hey look wave 3 is finally during daytime but on the point where the entire world apart from Australia/Asia is online to play? And we have to compete with everyone?
But hey nice to know that I don't have to bother with this any more. Prizes for battling always go to the ones who hit the most and with only 1 chance out of 3 to battle on a moment where everyone can battle? Not worth my time.
It's pretty sad that there is someone out there on staff who thought that this planning is actually good.

What pisses me off most is that it's not like it's a surprise that Europe exists and is getting screwed over. The plot has presumably been planned for a while and time should have been organised for someone to be online. It's poor planning and I'm really disappointed tbh.

We don't forget that Europe exists (I live in England!) - but we have to arrange for multiple staff members to be online during release times. With three stages, the times we could all do whilst taking into account breaks and as many timezones as possible were 11pm friday, 5pm Saturday and then Noon Sunday. Unfortunately it is simply very difficult for the needed staff to be online at the times many users in other countries would consider the 'perfect' timeslot to battle.

Urgh! Looks like I'll maybe get some of the first few hours of the last one, then. Real shame that the start times aren't more evenly distributed. on a single 24 hour scale, battles start at intervals of five hours, six hours, and thirteen hours. Sometimes I think Subeta forgets that Europe exists.

Not to be thick but we don't have to fight in all three waves if we only fight in one wave and deal out damage, right? Or does the gross damage from one battle carry on into the next(ie 370k in first wave, 330k in second, 300k in third=1m total for user?)?

11:01pm so 6 in the morning. 5pm tonight aka 12 at night(00). GREAT, so staying up super freaking late it is then. And noon, 12 am would be seven o'clock in Estonia. Which means if the battle lasts 6 hours it'll be super late. Great. I didn't need sleep anyway.

Thank you so much (whoever designed this fight) for all these options! I think it's truly wonderful that both players who do not have battle pets, and players who do, will have multiple chances to participate in the fight. I don't know how many times I missed out on past bosses simply because I wasn't online when they popped up, so this really is a great relief (at least for me!)
