Channel 5 News Report!

Titania McGee here with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date information.



The disturbed spirits that have been causing chaos all over Subeta are finally coming under control, thanks to the dedicated efforts of a brave few that have unearthed and performed ancient traditions.



However, a new threat may be at hand! Earlier today, our meteorologist discovered an unusual weather event taking place. From a shroud of inexplicably thick mist, a new spirit appeared, and this one doesn’t seem to be appeased by the offerings.



Who will step forward to defend Subeta!? Only time will tell!







(Uh oh! You better speak to Connor right away.)



Note: You may have guessed it already, but just so you can begin preparations, there will be a WORLD BOSS tonight released at around 11pm. The World Boss will have multiple stages, and there will be breaks in between. There will be a way for non-battlers to participate. We'll be able to give estimations of further times of release after the initial stage is defeated. - Subetateam

Does this mean I will not be able to continue with the plot, because I waited too long to get back to participating? (I hadn't started the donations or Pete Says like I should have earlier this week).
finilain
I missed this completely because I was asleep :< Yay for living in Europe.
Extract
now I see it ;)
Extract
I hate when I miss things. are these earlier ones gone or am I just missing them?
Marianne
@Rah Thanks very much!
Rah STAFF
@Marianne - yes, you can if you like. Your damage is counted cumulatively :)
Marianne
@Rah I meant for the boss - can we fight in all three waves? Sorry I wasn't more clear...
Rah STAFF
@Marianne - this challenger isn't a 'wave' challenger - the only thing you'll gain for beating it more than 5 times is extra sp and exp! The World Boss is the only challenger that will count cumulative damange (and yes, she'll be back tomorrow, she's getting three stages)
Taters
So glad to see 11pm starts for stuff. I always miss out being pst, because if it starts at 5-6pm thats only early afternoon. And around those times I am busy busy. I only get on at 8pm or so pst or later. So its perfect!

Though not like I can really do much haha, I dont battle. My tier 1 would die in seconds.
Marianne
@Rah Can we battle in more than one wave, i.e. if you can get in 10 battles before bed, can you still fight in the next wave and do all those battles count?
Ravage
Is this the end of the plot? I am still plugging away at my achievements.
Tekki
So how exactly can non-battlers do anything??? :/ Confused here.
Vie
rip me for not hvong any battle pets
Fray
AWWW MAN I'm gonna be asleep when you release the boss ;_____; it'll [the first stage] probably be defeated before I even wake up!
mimic
Yes, so happy for a battling step! (:
Elsa
My pets are too weak to battle these guys so I'm glad an alternative is in the works.
Doodle
I hate not being able to participate in this part, but I don't have a battler of that caliber. I hope I'm not going to get screwed out of any prizes.

@Darkrai

Thank you! That Pete Says game is difficult for me and I need to get the Grave Digger game done. Found 2/3 of the skeletons and only 9 ghosts.

Yay now I don't gotta try to cram it in in just a few short hours. :)
Mike
@Luthien

most opponent only weapons don't have item art when stolen.
SYLVAN
Effin' yes! I've been working hard at training my baby all year now it's time to party. :D
Delirium

What am I even stealing?
Katt
Sometimes (like this morning when 3pm subeta time was 5am and i got up at 4:30 to change my name) i am a little x.X about the time change over but when 11pm=1pm here in australia it makes me glad. I can leave off battle quests and regular quests and dedicate a good 10 hours to battling :D
Darkrai
@_blackwolf_2009_ The games and achievements are sticking around after the plot
Darkrai
Unless this battle runs for like 16+ hours I'm going to miss it :/ Released after I go to bed (on a weekend day anyway) and I miiiiiight get some time at 6am but with my luck it'll probably be a break time. And then I work until 3 :c
Hunger
Map reminds me of Narnia voyage of the dawn treader XD
_blackwolf_2009_
I hope this doesn't mean the end of the plot it soon. I'm still working through some of my achievements.
nier
yay!!!!! not an ungodly hour~
five_507
The coin and its items are so pretty!
But really, Subeta, right on my study weekend D':
Wolfmyth
11 pm? Woot! That's late afternoon for me here in Australia!
Nova
So glad to see a late night release. Across the pond and the US vampires (like myself) can actually enjoy something at the beginning. Nice to see it being spread out in waves so everyone can join in when they have the time available.
legalcat
Will the Healer be free like she is for the battle boss in gelatin war?
witchywoman
Beat it with my tier 2, so happy- I always lose battles!
Coraline
I hope I can make something with my tier 5 pet! crosses fingers
Darkrai
Will we be able to battle and do the alternative? Because I do have battle pets but they're not worth much against sitewide bosses but I'll still battle if I can, weekends are the worst possible time for me to do this stuff :/
hannahharmin
I hope we get the chance to help Pete with the spirit offerings again. Many weekend users didn't get a chance to participate in that yet.
Lisa
Ugh, I won't be able to battle. Even if I could stay up that late. And not on the weekend either. I'm going on a short trip tomorrow, kayaking and stuff. I won't have internet until Monday evening. Balls.
DevilsRider
too weak to fight D:
Amae
My time is nigh
Kevin
time zones don't make me any difference, not going to sleep anyway.
Pluma
being that i'm in the (close to) last timezone on earth, will i miss the entire world boss battle? i have to go to work at 2 (hawaii standard time) and i don't get home 'til 11 at the earliest. that's twelve hours from now, subeta time. 3:

The US has 6 different time zones, 11pm subeta time is 8 pm pacific time, and in Hawaii that's 5 pm. So, no.
finilain
Ok, while this sounds super exciting and amazing, 11pm Subeta time is 5am where I live ._. Well, I hope you guys leave some of the non-battler-participation until tomorrow.
Yuzu
These are frickin beautiful though
Salvaged Shrine Tokens
Lingering Shrine Sprite
Balloon
Oh wow, I love the dropped items! They're perfect for my pet Tenukii's TC - she's a ghost who loves money and coins XD
Roxie
"rather than non-battlers having chances to participate, i'm always more worried about whether time-zones are accounted for"
Crab
I hope the boss fight is spread out over at least 24hrs/half the weekend - that way everyone no matter the timezone should be able to get some damage in! ^-^
Kevin
items fixed.
Blackjack
Psssh, everyone knows there's no such time as 5am on a Saturday. You so crazy, Subeta.
aiya
I love the planning that went into this. They have come a long way from when I first joined.
TracyH
So 10 P.M. central time.
Squid
I'm so sad about the time frame to be honest. I have to work tomorrow at 645a so staying up until eleven tonight is probably not going to happen for me. I'm so putting my husband in charge of dinner tomorrow so I can try to smash this big ghost as much as possible...
Greg
I don't see the problem? Challengers will probably stay all weekend (and usually don't matter for final prizes) and the boss will have different stages, so it will be here enough time for every time zone to have a chance to fight it
Damon

Check that topic out for plot help.
Inknote
How long will the breaks be? Several hours? Just one each? Wanna know how much caffeine I'm gunna need XD
Also wow this coin spirit is SUPER PRETTY??? The colors are beautiful! I can't wait to see what the drops actually are. I have them waiting for me in my inventory :D
Artist_169
Did we actually have to play that pete says game to earn points in the plot? I hate that game so much + that mouth too... so yeah I didn't play it much.
Tennie
I must have missed something along the way because I get the same message from Connor every time, the one that tells me to talk to Quentin. I've talked to Quentin and did the game and everything but still get the same message from Connor. Sad stuff :( No plot for me this time, I guess
marvel
Huh, I wasn't expecting to be able to beat this opponent, but it turns out that even a pet who got to Tier 3 through REs and scratchcard stat increases can do it, lol.
InSaNe
it's funny how the plot steps are so short and so spread out, but all of a sudden within a few hours you release a bunch of challengers and a boss, which are very time and focus intensive at the time of the day you're the most tired

you just took the concept of logic to another level
Mike
Transparency fantastic. Breaks in between stages, sounds great, we'll see how it plays out, but I have high hopes. Release time, it's always going to suck for some group, but the stages and breaks should hopefully make it work better overall.
Saint
PLS UNBREAK THE WIN ITEMS
Ninja
I'm excited AND confused! 8D
Cookie
Has anyone else noticed the mysterious fog on the Subeta map? :0
Wolf_Spirit
This step should have waited until the last community step was completed
FLUX
@Rah
From now until 11pm subeta time isn't exactly much time for appetizers...people will have no time to rest before the big boss if you release them in that kind of time frame - which sort of defeats the point of having warm up opponents. It would have been nice to have them more spread out like the gelatins :(.
Chey
ooh cool. i'm glad i started training and getting into battling a few weeks ago.
Rah STAFF
@InSaNe - there will be appetizers :)
Kevin
anyone else planning on not sleeping except on breaks? o-o
InSaNe
and is that all.. a boss ? Bosses are pretty much the worst experience battle-wise because you're just sitting there for hours hitting a thing that has 150 million health points. You every stroke has no impact, since he'll probably be healing it back anyway

I was expecting some appetizers
Elysium
This should be fun.
HeadPhonz
oh thank you!! ;-; i'm totally not a battler
Balloon
...wow, that is one grumpy coin.
FLUX
That's 6am and I have a job interview tomorrow at 10. Why ;__;
Banette
I guess it's time to learn how to battle . . .
InSaNe
Who profits from an 11pm release? For me it's 5am, but even for those that are in the US, isn't that.. a couple hours before bed anyway ?
crashingnightingales
Finally they have arrived (the battle opponents). I've been anticipating something.
Delirium
@Rah
So will we have to be present only for one wave to get the achievements and participate? Because it sounds like it is going to be a lot of sitting online and waiting for stuff to happen? The news post isn't very clear about it. Even for Americans, it's late at night already. :/
Rah STAFF
We're looking into the loot items being staff items! Should have that fixed soon.
Greg
Well that was bigger than what I thought it was.
Greg
Pirate
5am on a weekend full of stress and studying? Sorry but no way. My score for this whole plot is going to be ridiculous, first time for me to fail that hard. o.O Oh well, have fun everyone and give that cloud a slap from me. <3
BlueLeafeon
Great. Now when do I get a cure for this grayscaled avatar? I want my color back. -_-
Literature
For those of you thinking you are going to miss the whole thing, they said there was going to be breaks in between. It's not going to be over in just a couple hours. You'll have time!! <3
Literature
The items for beating it 5 times are broken. They still say Staff Item. Also, I didn't get any item for beating him the first four times. That might be normal though.
hermes
throughout the plot there's been late night (my time anyway) plot updates, and. ugh. well, at least there'll be breaks and waves bc 11pm subeta time is 5am my time, so, that's not happening.

also, drops from this spirit are categorised as staff items?
Lantern
Oooo I love the art of that opponent!
Hamda
You have defeated Spirited Shrine Coin 5 times!

Spirited Shrine Coin drops:

Salvaged Shrine Tokens

Lingering Shrine Sprite

You earned 1641 sP for beating Spirited Shrine Coin!

Pisa earned 296 EXP Points!

^ it says "staff item" and has no CI image.... did you guys goof?
Rah STAFF
@zetina and @luthien - The news post note says multiple stages with breaks in between. If that wasn't clear enough, that means that we're stretching this out over many hours in order to accommodate timezones.
Minshasa
Oooh! I hope I'll be on in time for this! I'm about to go to bed because it's 2 am in my timezone, and I have work tomorrow. This looks like it's going to be fun!
I just beat the Spirited Shrine Coin five times but the items are glitched. Were we not supposed to fight it yet?
Julie
Multiple stages, I'm sure they will consider everyone's time zones. I'm moving my son into his dorm on Saturday, so will have to do the bulk of the fight tonight.
Hunger
Yay for battling! But I won't be there for the start :(
Perfection
sooo, was i meant to end up with staff items from beating this challenger 5 times?
SHIBITO
Am I the only person with no clue about what's going on...?
Delirium
Wtf is even happening anymore?
So non-battlers and people who can't beat the games get special exceptions for the plot but the people who can't be on because of time zones are just shit out of luck.
Yeah, alright.
Austria
Dangit, I'll probably miss the entire thing thanks to work. -_-
Tserel
the drops are spooky ghosts too. no-one can touch them kek
Hetfie
I really hope the world boss fight will last a couple of days so everybody has a chance to participate :)
zetina
rather than non-battlers having chances to participate, i'm always more worried about whether time-zones are accounted for. there's a new plot step and promise of stages and updates while i'm soon to go to bed lmao
Lirikai
You have defeated Spirited Shrine Coin 5 times!

Spirited Shrine Coin drops:

Salvaged Shrine Tokens


Lingering Shrine Sprite
far
The loot items are broken btw.
Vanessa
everyone who is from Germany - RIP sleep :D
not sure if I'll participate I need to sleep otherwise I turn into
Romantic Grumpy Bear Plushie


I appreciate it anyway:), just wish it'd be a bit earlier
Luck
Were we not supposed to fight the Spirited Shrine Coin yet? The drops are staff items o_o
Sorcerer
I'll be wiggling in excitement until the battle starts!
Cresenta
Beat the Spirited Shrine Coin 5 times but the items it dropped come up as Staff items.
Tserel
Kinda sucks we didn't get the Pete goal tho. Tbh it would have been food anyway probs so it's kind of a nonissue for me (sorry gourmet lovers)
Damon
Hmmm interesting...
Song_745
Aww I'm usually offline by 11 PM.
Lirikai
Whoa. Check out the Explore map. There's some serious spirit disturbance going on.

(I LOVE THIS)
Cobaltbluetoo
Oh dear God! This is going to be interesting. Looking forward to it.
Tserel
They're taking over the world map o: Also boss whoo whoo. Hopefully my tier 11 will be good enough to do even a little bit more than I've done in the past ;w;
silverlunarfox
well that seems to be 3am my time :(
Crab
oh boo I'll miss it since that's like 3am for me. sadface! good luck to everybody that can take part though! c:
Edinburgh
Aw, man. I hope the event rewards don't get dinged for those of us without strong battle pets. :/
facebook
well... now im debating whether or not i should sleep tonight
Stiles
I'm glad there will be a way for non battlers to help! I'm not much for battling, but I still want to help move the plot forward and help with the overall goal :)
HYPEBEAST
I didn't sleep for 24 hours. I'm not gonna stay up for this.
Julie
Thanks for the heads up. Comes out at 8:00 pm my time.
Blossie
Damn that's like 3 in the morning my time :c
StarShadow
I'm only home for a few minutes on lunch break so will have to try more later. But FYI 5th win drop is Spirited Shrine Coin drops: Lingering Shrine Sprite & Salvaged Shrine Tokens
