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!

Glad I was able to do some battling in spite of my migraine. Not nearly as much as I normally would, but that's life. :)

I got up for a couple minutes when he still had half health. I knew there would be something to drain his health coming soon, but I got back on and he was already dead! :o
Well. Guess I shouldn't have stopped to eat the lunch my brother made for me. :c (At least it was delicious.)
I hope something is done to make the scoring / final prizes fair, since I doubt the next two boss fights are going to go quite the same way.

Overkill, literally, there. I still had another hour I planned to be up battling for, but... Whelp, I'm done I guess? My boss thanks you, I guess? (I'll be asleep and then at work for the rest, except for little bits of time, just hoping I did enough damage to get anything decent.)
Alright this kinda irks me now.
I got home and saw he was at half health and got all excited and thought I could maybe participate in the battles for a bit. I expected him to be dead by the time I got home at 11 but he still had a ways to go.
Well he went from half health to dead in about two minutes with a tweak the staff did. Now they've tweaked before and said they may here but going from half health to dead in just a few minutes is absolutely ridiculous. Sure he may have been lasting longer than expected but tweak him a bit some other way that he doesn't drop like a rock all at once.

Shit, they decided to change him right when I was getting my lunch together for tomorrow. Welp, gg.
Noo I was still going strong. Well, Numy wasn't, but he'll heal. Congrats to whoever got the last hit. I didn't expect it to be so soon!

I saw him at 2500~ hp, that's the closest I've ever been to beating a boss. Such a blow XD. But congrats to who won!!

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.

This just drove me crazy xD Felt like I didnt get enough battling in because I only had an hour. Thought I had plenty of time when I saw the HP left but then WHOOPS hes dead o-0 ... so gotta wait for the next round to do more work xD LOLIt's pretty hilarious being in the middle of a fight when suddenly the boss's HP essentially vanishes.
For anyone curious, it went from 1/2 full hp to even lower than the red. Just a thin sliver at the end of the hp bar.

grats to who got it...I got knocked out at about 300k and the site lagged...arrrrghhhh!!! lol :D




Serious question though, are you guys going to let us know if you adjust the times for the next boss releases?
Because it's been 5 hours and the HP isn't even at the halfway mark. This one likely won't even be finished by 2 AM when the next one is supposed to start...

Subeta pls I have to get up at 5 tomorrow to spend all day hauling gillnets. I just want to sleep. MAKE THE TORTURE END.


A request for clarification. I know that in terms of ranked prizes, they are given out per tier group, and by total damage against a single challenger. You can't qualify for them more than once. But in terms of the prizes you get for total damage done by a pet, for reaching x points of damage, is that by how much damage you do to one challenger? Or totaled across all three?
I wish that accursed Stone Wall would just collapse on the guardian's head and knock him out sometimes! AARRGGHHH

I've tried this new puzzle so many times and I still end up with about 4 circles left... What happens if I skip it? I really don't want to.

turns out the monsters arent upset ur here for the gold, theyre pissed steele blew up their door...

@PrincessJudith
No one can beat a global boss on their own. It takes hundreds of losses by hundreds of users. So don't wait!

@Ferrox
yeah, I died again, I gave up, watched TV.. I think I just got lucky he didn't use that whatever it was that looks to block 100 of each icon.

Different people are planning to do their battles at different times. The reason it isn't going down fast is cuz usually all totals are counted, this time only one is. So some people, rather than trying all 3 times to beat there scores, are gonna go all out just the once.
These 502/504 errors and not doing me any favors! My poor battle pet has been damaged enough. He needs to heal :(

Should I be battling and loosing over and over and over again? Or should I wait for a guardian that I have a chance to beat?? It is really not clear.

If we look like we aren't on track to beat it (which we are so very very much not) then they'll lower the HP.We may tweak the first boss's HP if necessary for timing

More than 1/3 of the estimated time to kill it has elapsed and he has not even lost 1/6 of his HP. Off a little bit?
What happens if when we don't beat this first guardian in time for the next battle to start? :P

I hope the chinese solitaire marble game will have an UNDO button if/when it becomes a regular game. I love puzzles, and I'm not in a hurry to get to the battle, so I'm trying to strategize and take my time (and not use a solution). However, it's very frustrating to have to wait til the end, for the entire puzzle to reset. This sort of thing (which was meant to be played with game pieces that the player can move back and forth in order to check strategy along the way) is a lot more fun WHEN that option exists. :)



I do 0 damage with my strongest pet.. so am assuming there is no point in even trying any?

I commend anyone who has the strength to deal with all the lag and erroring, because I sure don't C':


I accidentally hit skip on the puzzle when trying to re-set it. I wasn't given a warning or anything and now it appears I can't finish it. I haven't gone on to battle and am now missing out on that in the chance someone knows a way to go back to complete it. I am not big on battling, but would love to take another crack at that puzzle. So if someone know how to go back, please let me know!!!

Well, I did 28 damage with my strongest (which is still T1). :'D This is going to take forever.

502 and 504 errors every other click. It is bloody hell trying to battle when the page won't even fully load.

I don't think so. I just dealt 0 damage at all, got frozen in the second turn and than died...Total Damage: 866
hey now, was the boss tweaked? That is a huge improvement from the big fat zero I got a half hour ago...

Is anyone else seeing a 502 error in the dashboard where the events are supposed to be?
Enjoying this plot step so far :heart: :D.
