A Distant Rumble





A distant boom is heard, then a rumble shakes the base camp.



Oh man, pretend you didn’t hear that. Ol’ Dom went off to answer the call of nature, and let’s just say I got a bit impatient and… well, the door’s open now. That’s the important part, right?



Remember, you didn’t hear a thing and we didn’t talk!

i can't do the puzzle in the third room! (yeah i know im late trying when the plot is technically over, but still!) and i've tried it on chrome, explorer and my phone, so what is going on??
TheeMuse
Me: "Oh fun! Bosses!"

Subeta: "We planned the first one for while you working and the second one for while you are sleeping. You can fight in the third one if you get up extra early!"

Me: logs on early for the fight, an hour before it was supposed to start, and finds the boss defeated already

Me: >:/

I just realized my comment earlier was wrong. I thought phase 2 started at midnight, so at 8am I thought it ran 2 hours long. But it started at 2am, so it's fine. \o/
unnie
Man I missed the second boss battle :c
Solas
@Lag
I'll try :D
Lag
@Kurenai No problem! :) I hope you manage to land a few nice blows to the next boss (if you decided to fight them)! ;P
Solas
@Lag

That makes more sense :D Thanks for telling me ;)

"The second and third bosses will not be tweaked and will last as long as they last."
Is that so? Then who did the several millions of damage in a few minutes?
gitto
Okay, so after it being defeated too early, they now slash its HP just as I get back on (after napping) and its now dead too with an hour and a half left before the next boss? Surely they could have kept it longer, no?
Lag
@Kurenai It's not a glitch! Even my t11 pet dies in just a few hits D: The boss battles are a community effort so everyone fights it together to defeat it! :) The prizes are given out for only your pet's damage though (the damage adds up for all the battles you do for that boss). Which may sound like you won't get anything but each tier is separate from each other so you'll only be competing for the top tier prizes with other people from tier 3!
legend
Good god you guys whine a lot. They're doing fine.
Laurey
And as I post, it gets taken out. lol

"We may tweak the first boss's HP if necessary for timing, but any changes will also be reflected in subsequent bosses. The second and third bosses will not be tweaked and will last as long as they last."

So did this even happen? As far as I know, the second boss started with the same amount of HP as the first one and is still taking forever.

Can't wait to see its HP suddenly slashed again. What's the point of explaining things to us if you're not going to do what you said anyway?
Speiro
They just wiped out the last ~78% of his health and he's dead now. :P
Solas
@Toby

Wow :o high pet :D I'll get there ;) I'm hoping it will be fixed so I can get a shot at seem lovely prizes sigh I doubt it will, but.....
Toby
@Kurenai

My tier 7 pet dies in one hit most of the time too. It's just how these bosses are and why I have no patience for fighting them, especially with site issues...
Speiro
6:45am, and the second guardian is only at 83% health. I guess they didn't kill this one early. So much for all three phases being the same.
Funkykitsune
Yikes, I wasn't expecting the boss to be THAT strong
mimete
the puzzle is actually really fun imo and the easiest so far
Kellijuana
MUST NAP x_x
Solas
Only a very HIGH tiered pet can even make a dent IS STILL PEEVED AT THE UNFAIRNESS
Solas
What the hick is up with the dam boss killing my tier 3 pet with one hit :( I'M SO BLOODY PEEVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tribunal
So now we're going on 3 hours later and again, not at all being on track for the 10am boss.

Is this wave going to have the full 600M pre-tweak health? If not, how is repeating the 'tweak' going to be handled? Sooner > later, imo, so people don't have time snatched out from under them as bad. Only reason to not do so is to match the first wave more closely, but you should really answer/announce that (since having to tweak at all is already going against your previous announcements).

I just.. really.. we shouldn't have to ask for this, and we especially shouldn't have to beg for it hours later.
Kellijuana
@Lia heh SAME :/ throws the pets into the tomb Sorry guyssss
Lia
@Kellijuana Thank you <3

Not that I'm making much of a difference, lol, it's beating me to a pulp, but at least I'm battling xD
Kellijuana
@Lia D: Oh Noooooo! :( I'm sorry you missed so much!! I just saw your comment and no ping from anyone so did just in case. Glad you're workin at it now. ^_^
Lia
@Kellijuana
Yes, I know it NOW, cause I decided to check this post, lol, but I thought they were gonna make an announcement for the second boss so I lost a couple of hours of battling cause I didn't know it was already active, that's what I meant xD
Kellijuana
@Lia It's here? Hope you're battling ^_^
Lia
Can you possibly ping for the next boss?? I've been here an hour twiddling my thumbs cause I didn't see any boos in the arena and I had no idea you had to unlock the second one and he was already active, wtf..
Tribunal
@Purge

It has been over an hour. Is this wave going to have the full 600m HP?
rainbow55
Thanks so much that worked
Reaper
@rainbow55
You need to make sure you go to the:

Tomb

and click the middle door. That should take you to the:

Boss Challenge

page - at which point the guardian should be unlocked. You can then find him in the:

Coliseum

where you chose the "Event" tab, he's the last challenger in that list.
Tribunal
@rainbow55

Make sure you have beat all four games (squares > dominos > 2048 > solitaire) and gone in the room at the end of the hall.

Then you should see the boss and get the links to fight it, but otherwise you can go straight to the BC and check there too (on the games page).
rainbow55
I beat the game but no bosses to fight are showing up for me...guess no battles
Inari
To all just getting on and not reading the whole conversation below:

The second boss is up again and he seems to have the "right" amount of HP now.
So a bit of tweaking was done by staff :)

And yes, you have to unlock the boss(es) by playing the game in the Silver Room first.
Nira
I wake up and I wanted to beat some shizz out of my opponent but I just see comments about beating a boss in 10 minutes... :(
BoaConstrictor
Thank you Subeta for not pinging us to the second guardian and esp. for not telling us it needs to be unlocked in the tomb as well!
Reaper
Agreeing again with @Tribunal - even just an acknowledgement from staff about the health issue would be nice. I mean, clearly you're sitting here watching things, maybe just respond? Too much to ask?
Tribunal
There's the errors! At least it's even with the first wave I guess digging deep for that silver lining

Also this health question really shouldn't be that difficult. At least give us the old "Oh yeah, we might've oops'd, we're talking about it" or something.
Reaper
@Tribunal
One day our hivemind will be strong enough to make a difference :P

@Purge
So...is this round going to be cutoff around the same HP as the first...since it was given the same overall starting HP instead of the tweak actually working properly?
Tribunal
Staff comment in the news != announcement. Newspost, banner, something.


Also having a pet who gets 1 turn is so refresh intensive it's annoying AF. At least the errors appear to be slightly less bad for the moment, but I wonder how much of that is people having given up :c
Purge STAFF
There was apparently a little bug with the second boss. But he's back up now! :)
Tribunal
@Reaper

Hivemind
Reaper
Also, seriously, wtf. 3 battles in and I drop from full 10/10 foods eaten to 1/10? How does that work exactly? Because it doesn't work like that with other challengers.
Julie
Can we get a do over. @Purge
Tribunal
Also is this not the same health as pre-tweak? Is he just gonna take an arrow to the knee at ~40%?? Yes I - purely personal level - misunderstood briefly, but still: what. is. going. on. Communicate. Sheesh.
Reaper
@Tribunal
Agreed - I had to refresh through 504s to find out it was back. Also...it has 600m HP just like the first one...so if their statement that 2 and 3 "will last however long they last" holds up, then these guys will likely be here for way beyond 6 hours each =/
MurDerWolf
ita back up
Tribunal
Great you fixed it and all but I feel for anyone who checked and didn't check back :c

Really needs an announcement at minimum, and even that doesn't reach anyone not on-site.
Jess
@Reaper
One of them is usually on at a time to monitor boss battles - and it looks like it worked because it is fixed now :)
