Safety Assured
Good morning, are you ready to move on? As I said, Blake and I have (yawn) worked through the night and I can feel good about letting you enter that room. The next puzzle is ready for you to complete - we figure that we should leave that task to you, as you’ve been trusted with they keys and the puzzles so far.
Rejoin the expedition

Just wanted to take a minute out of battling the second challenger to thank the alert and resourceful Subeta staff who somehow quickly reset the Left Flanking Guardian and restored order. Being able to battle when advertised thanks to your help is much appreciated.

Daaaaaaang that goes quickly!!! I got a few battles in so yay! It's a bummer that it doesn't just stand there and take damage for a set amount of time. :/ If you're not ready right on the minute, good luck!

So...tweaking things if it doesn't get killed during the fight time actually means "we'll yank it out when it still has over half the health, thus wasting the effort of everyone who only has one time slot they can try during and making them start over again when they're trying for a decent tier of prizes since we're only counting the best damage done to one of the three challengers per pet"
Thanks so much -_-
I wouldn't have bothered wasting my time if I'd have realized this.

Oops, nope, I'm an idiot. Converted backwards.
*While I'm picking up kiddo from school*
*After bedtime when he should definitely be to sleep*
*While I'm getting him ready for school*
Okay, so still one that I should be able to focus on tonight, and the other two depend on how quickly the battle goes/how smoothly our travelings go.

6pm- 8am as i start work at 9am i will be driving to work
2am- 4pm I will be driving home but as long as the battle lasts longer than an hour i should get a few battles in
10am- 12am- As i need to start work at 7 the next day and i will be up at 5am to get ready well i will be sleeping and as i have an hour to get sorted and eat before work i wont even have time to do one battle if the battle lasts 5 hours.
On a friday-saturday night subeta time it would work out 8am,4pm saturday and saturday night at midnight. I could probably get all 3 in

Another suggestion would be to move the boss battle to this weekend instead.
Tomorrow, I'll most likely arrive home late again. Need to finish a shit ton of exercises... ;w;
I didn't expect the boss battle to be so soon to be honest, but maybe it's just me thinking it is soon, idk xD
Either way the timing sucks for me, feelsbadman

*kiddos bedtime tonight* :/ maaaaybe if he's super tired and goes down easy :D
*1hr before I usually get up* - okay, let's hope I hear my alarm
*middle of the day when kiddo's at school* Yessss
Okay, I feel awesomely lucky on the battle times because I have two maybes and a definitely able. Now if only my pet was super strong and I had great weapons! LOL But who knows? My tier one kicked butt last time and I only did 4 battles - probably because no one bothered with their lower pets. Don't give up guys! Even just one battle can get you prizes! ^_^
Now if I could just get this work done so I could focus on finishing the puzzles and prepping my pets!

I AM a battler and I think adding battle bosses to plots kind of suck. If they are going to add battling it should be more of a challenger or challengers and you beat them as many times as you can to get points and also have other things for the non battlers such as getting points for questing or restocking.

Make this game permanent with a bit of sP reward (like some of the other games)? :)

@Awakened
Can confirm you just need to get 1 of the tiles with 512 on it then click 'check' to get the key. If it glitched and you did that but it didn't accept, might be worth letting staff know.
@Stiles
Took me hours, but finally got there. Finger crossed for you!

Gelatin Slayer is 60 mil in shops. Blocks 75 dark. Maniacal Essence blocks 90 and is expensive but is well under 900 mil lol.
Cronus blocks magma, not earth. If you want an earth blocker, the ornamented hook swords in the mil center block 90 of it and they run for 450 mil.
we do need more tier 12 weapons. it makes more sense for them to come from loot drops, like meatslab with the baal or rouland with the MW, than to be sold in a shop.

Ohhhh my god I'm so mad. The site picks the LAST page of dialogue from Kahaleitzli (asking him his name) to give me a 502 error, and of course, when I refresh, I just get the generic "nothing more to learn" message instead of the last piece of that conversation. Can someone tell me what he said?

Jai
@cartel - Really? Find me a dark blocker for under 900 million. Or an earth blocker, besides Cronus, which I'm 2 battles away from making myself. There are only 4 tier 12 weapons and 3 of them are nearly unobtainable. There's a huge need for more good upper-level weapons, and they shouldn't be limited to the top 75 battlers.

This game is fantastic; really liked it.
I hope there's no useful info in the NPC's chat because their 'banter' makes me tired of life and I've just started skipping over any screen with speech bubbles. If I wanted to read petty bickering, I'd go to the forums.

Overall, I thought this game was great, and I would like it to stick around after the plot as a daily game. I just wish that the game had a small note that tells you to use the arrow keys, I had to go on the forums and make sure it wasn't glitched. ;) As for the battle times, I really happy that the battle times were given well ahead of time even though they aren't the greatest for me. Bravo to staff for the heads up. I'll show up and do what damage I can, but from the info about prizes I doubt that I will get very much in return. As a veteran of Subeta plots, I know the importance of training/battling for prizes, so I won't whine too much that I've slacked on training.

I also dont think its a big issue to not have instructions. All of the plot puzzles never do unless they are made by users in the forums. Its supposed to be a challenge right? At least for me after one or two tries I started to get the idea, so for someone who is new to this puzzle type Im sure others can decypher it as well.

@Frenchi Oh, no, yeah, it's definitely fair that people only get the prizes once, but if they got top tier in a different battle, I think they should still get that prize. It'd suck to get that achievement and not get the prize for it. (Only getting that top-tier prize for that battle, none of the other prizes - meaning no duplicates)

For once, I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that I hate something on this site. I hate this 512 game with a passion that is beyond words. :)
Also, the boss times do kind of stink, but eh, not like I can do much damage to them with my pets.

Okay, since we're talking about battling and prizes, when is Subeta planning on releasing some upper level good weapons that I can actually buy? It's great that the top tier damage pets get some amazing prizes, but there needs to be some good weapons released in the millionaire center or the cash shop or the crystal shop that I actually have a chance of getting. As it stands, my pet at tier 12 has zero chance of out-battling the tier 13 pets on this upcoming phase. That's fine. The top folks deserve top prizes. I just want to be able to buy a good weapon. When will some good ones be available to the rest of us peons?

I have a question...I kinda want to ping a staff member about it, but I hate bothering them. xD Let's say that you have the most time available to participate in the 6pm battle, so you fight longer and therefore deal the most damage in that battle than the other battles you participate in, BUT you also participated in the 2am battle, and although you didn't quite have has much damage in that battle, there were less people participating and you managed to be highest in your tier for that battle. Is the first battle still the only one that's counted because you dealt more overall damage? Or are you still eligible for the top-of-the-tier prize? Or is it both - you have the first battle count toward the regular prizes and then also get the top tier prize?

Noelle
I think I won't be able to participate at any of those times. Have two doctor appointments tomorrow right around the time of the first round. Then I'll be grocery shopping all day in preparation to head back to a different state where my hubby works. The 2 a.m. one is midnight my time. So...I hope I can squeeze it in somehow, but it's doubtful.

I think I should be able to get in a few losses against one of the bosses. I doubt I'll make the first one as I won't get home until about 11pm Subeta time and I expect it to be long dead. The middle of the night one is also a nope. But I should be able to pound on the third wave easily enough as long as it lasts at least three hours.
I personally like that the battle is in the middle of the week and spread out times. I do wish there wee more than three waves personally though, maybe five or so to make it closer to 24hrs.

If having battle challengers on Monday/Tuesday helps prevent the site from breaking, I'm all for it. Different times would have been nice though, like a 9pm or 10pm EST. Actually, it would be really great if we could just postpone the rest of the event until all the 502/504 errors get fixed. The number of errors I have been getting in the last 5 mins is just horrific.

Saying that some people have a weekend in the middle of the week so that's fine is just a nope. Some males exist on the site yet it's been noted time and time again that the majority of items will be females because they cater to the majority of the users here. Unless I'm completely nuts, I'd gather that the majority of users are here on weekends both by common sense and numbers of users I generally see online (outside of events). I also say this as a person who actually does have a weekend in the middle of the week, and during "vampire" hours which means I'll actually be participating in this quite a lot. It doesn't make any sense to have it on a Monday - Tuesday if you're trying to reach your majority of users, but it does make sense if you're trying to actually limit participation so the site doesn't break. Just a an observation.... ¯_(?)_/¯

I think I'll be missing the majority of the bosses...10 AM Subeta time, is like 2 AM for me. I'll be at work for the 2 AM battle...that's about 4 PM for me...I'll have an hour left of work..if the battle lasts six hours...I may be able to catch some of that one. I'll be able to do a few battles with the 6 PM one. I just hope that the 2 AM battle is still going on when I get back from work...after catching the train.

Thank you guys soooo much for listing the times. I can plan for it now! And as someone who works weekends, I'm glad all our events are not on weekends.

I'm sure the site won't crash yet again, I mean it only took me about a dozen times to even get to this news page after all.
Seriously, you guys, I love you and am grateful but.... a lot of people are going to miss out on the battling, and that's just external reasons. The site crashes so often that I'm just not even surprised anymore. I had hoped that things wouldn't be this bad anymore after the shop changes, and sure things are fine when there isn't a site event, but it still has NOT CHANGED.
I knew and expected that the site would still do this during events/holidays/plots etc. since the shop changes, but I was led to believe that it would not be this bad still. I'm just.... flabbergasted that after all these years we still don't seem to be any closer to a real, one-all-fix-all solution.

People are whining because this wasn't on a weekend as if there aren't people who work on the weekends too?
I work tomorrow until 8p, so at least I'll get in some hits on the first boss hopefully. I'll be sleeping and heading to work again for the next two waves.
I mean, why not just move it to all day Wednesday instead. I'm off work on Wednesday.

Who thought that a monday was a good time to start a boss battle? Most of us are either in school or work or both, and mondays are notorious for being awful and busy and horrid and no one likes them.
Why was this not planned for a weekend?
I'm even on subeta time, which is EST, and these times are ridiculous.
6 pm - Oh look, I've been to classes and work and now I'm running to another class.
2 am - Uh ew, I'm sleeping.
10 am - Gee, I'm getting ready because I have classes and then work until 9 pm.
So even if I can stop in for a couple minutes for more than one battle, only my pet's cumulative damage to one boss counts, so trying to get in hits on the two times that I'm not sleeping isn't even really helpful.
Compared to how it would have been for a weekend:
6 pm - no problem.
2 am - no problem.
10 am - no problem.
I'm NOT the only one pointing this out. You'd think that considering this is usually a big source of complaint (major timed plot battles set during busy days of the week as opposed to the weekend), this would have been revised this time around, but clearly not.
Seriously wtf. It's cool and all that you thought to tell us when the boss would spawn in this time around, but that's pretty useless when the majority of users are busy...because you know...it's a monday.
Why was this not planned for a weekend?
I'm even on subeta time, which is EST, and these times are ridiculous.
6 pm - Oh look, I've been to classes and work and now I'm running to another class.
2 am - Uh ew, I'm sleeping.
10 am - Gee, I'm getting ready because I have classes and then work until 9 pm.
So even if I can stop in for a couple minutes for more than one battle, only my pet's cumulative damage to one boss counts, so trying to get in hits on the two times that I'm not sleeping isn't even really helpful.
Compared to how it would have been for a weekend:
6 pm - no problem.
2 am - no problem.
10 am - no problem.

So 6pm tomorrow (subeta time) means that 2am and 10am are the day AFTER tomorrow actually? So part of this will be on tuesday actually? If I got this right that's a total relief, since otherwise it would conflict with our fate rpg group and a good friend of mine visiting and that would just suck for me. I don't want to chose between two of my favourite hobbies and I wanna kick boss challenger's butt!
Aside from my personal time management: I love that we get clarification! Do this always, it's wonderful. Yes, it ruins part of the surprise, but it has proven that surprises are not a good idea when it comes to scedules and plot points. I think it would be better to have such a battle on a weekend, since at least most people will have time then, but I see how that would leave us with quite some time in between.
And the game is great, please keep it. <3

I really appreciate that you guys gave us a heads up about the boss battle, but it REALLY sucks that you are starting it on Monday...when you know the weekend would be best for most because school, work, sleep....But whatevs. Still thanks for the heads up.

I'm wondering if it's just a boss battle or are there other challengers as well and if so how long will they be around.... cause if it's just one day that's not very much time...

Gettin some real uncomfortable vibes from all this- lots of talk of sacrifice but also dying for someone you love. I see two outcomes and both are sad :C

@Speiro - Thanks! So it sounds like it might be a good idea to use my T12 for when I have the most time to dedicate and my T7 for when I get some free time during the other time slots :)

omg thank you for breaking down the boss battle /sobs grossly
I'll have to do all I can against the first one, as the others are awful times for me.

@autumn - All pets will earn loot based on their damage. There are special prizes for pets that score highest within their tier, and these are the ones with the "no double dipping" rule. If you have a tier 4 and a tier 7, and they both rank for top damage in their respective tiers, you will only receive the top prize for your T7 since both pets fall in the same tier range (1-8).
Your T7 and T12 are in different ranges (1-8 and 9-13), so you could conceivably earn top tier prizes for both.

WILL THIS GAME/PUZZLE BE STICKING AROUND?? BECAUSE I LOVE IT!!/there's an extra achievement for it :o

Also, I love 2048 but I think it was probably a bad idea to put this puzzle up with almost no explanation and assume that everyone has played it. I've been trying to explain how to do it to parts of my team, and they're getting really confused.

Can I get clarification on the Boss? If I use my T7 and my T12, it sounds like only one pet's total damage (highest) will count towards my plot score, but I will get different prizes for each pet based on the tier they are in? Or do I only get a prize in a tier if I am among the top damage in that tier? Sorry, I am a bit confused and I am trying to decide how to spend the kinda limited time I have (boo work) to battle. Thanks! :)

Glad to hear it's coming back, but bummed I didn't realize there was a 2048 ach before I completed it! Got 1024 on my first try and figured that was good enough.

i also wish we could keep playing 2048 and start trying for the achievement even after getting the silver key. if i had realized i couldn't get back to it for now, i would have kept playing after getting to 512 instead of clicking the "check puzzle" button as soon as i could :c

I got 512 on my second try, and now I can't play anymore. :( I guess I'll go find another version off-site and give them my ad revenue instead \o/

I have absolutely no idea what the goal is for this puzzle, I don't get what I am supposed to achieve by moving the tyles, I feel like an idiot xD

This is me at the following Subeta Times (European) :
6pm is midnight my time, aka sleeping.
2am is 8am my time, aka going to work
10am is 4pm my time, aka at work, and won't be home for a solid 4 hours and a half
Wouldn't common sense dictate to put boss battles on the week end ?

6pm, 2am, and 10am Subeta time.
From tomorrow? But wouldn't 2 and 10am be the day after tomorrow .__. ?

Is there any way the puzzles can become games in the game room to earn SP with? I actually have really dug these last two ones!

Thank you for the heads up! Although I wish it wasn't occurring at crappy times. I work 10:30am to 7pm (getting home at 8pm) and I definitely need to be in bed to wake up at 8:30 am so get ready for work so no staying up for the 2am start.
And this puzzle.. wat.

Monday seems an odd day to do a boss battle and all the times are awkward for someone who works usual working hours in Britain :(

I really approve of banning the double dipping in bosses, far too easy for some of the mega stat pets to get massive damage super quick!

Princess
so are the boss battles all tomorrow? or are they STARTING with the 6pm one? the wording and subsequent order is a lil confusing.

Can you do one boss with one pet and another with another pet? I'm thinking yes, but I wanna make sure.

This may be the most random comment ever, but I just want to say I'm glad we get to keep the keys (so far?) because they are really, really pretty.

Damn all those boss times I am either sleeping or at work. Why did this have to start on a Monday when we had all weekend?
