can't believe i completely missed this??? must've misread/misunderstood the announcement post, date-wise anyway... here i was thinking the last battle was TODAY. balls...
@Tuonela
The HP culling at the very end makes sense, actually! :)
It's a competition to see, for each tier, who can deal the most damage during an elapsed time. You'd want 'endless' amounts of HP so that no one kills the boss before the allotted time is over (taking away the opportunity for others in that round). If you changed the starting HP based on the first round, then a difference in the next users battling could cut the six hours short (people with stronger pets kill the boss faster, more users online in the next round, etc). Once time is up (15 minutes left), you force the battle to end by culling it so there are almost no points left. Everyone gets the same amount of time, and therefore the same opportunity to score damage.
If we were comparing to see which wave of users killed the boss faster, I could understand needing to limit HP to something reasonable and starting there. But since it's time-based instead of victory-based, this way was great :P

Was asleep so I missed the battle but I just thought I'd note here that the art has been amazing for this plot. Not only with the bosses (and holy moly are they gorgeous) but also with the rooms too. Thank you for putting so much effort into making it so lovely!
Hardly done any damage to it so sadly I don't think I'll get decent prizes u_u
(but at least I can get an early night! xD)

Yes, it's based on damage but each one is still by tier. It's just that there will be two different groups of prizes, one for 1-8 and one for 9-13.
So, if you did the most damage in tier one, you will get the same items as someone that did the most damage in tier 8. It's not t1 vs t8, it's t1 vs t1, t2 vs t2, etc, etc.

Well, not sure exactly how it will go, but last boss battle, every tier had its top winners who got prizes and I suspect it will be the same way this time around. That tier 8 you mention is competing against the other tier 8's, not your tier 3. Your tier 3 might actually have a better chance of winning.

@Muerte
but we get prizes based on damage, right? someone with a tier 8 pet does waaay more damage than my tier 3 pet
i'm not 100% sure how prizes work for this tho i've never done a boss battle before

I'm glad the battling is over especially because I somewhat managed to fight all the bosses, but I honestly would have preferred to do so without the final nerfing. I mean, after the first guardian you should have been able to see how much damage users would deal after 6 hours and decide the number of HPs accordingly... oh well, like I said I'm glad it's over! Let's go toss someone into a vulcano! g
Shame we didn't get a "The Temple Guardian gets tired of your shenanigans and wanders away. "
After 10 tries with my T2 pet doing 0 damage, I was surprised it didn't happen :P

i wish they'd have split tiers up more. like my pet is tier 3 and having to fight it out with a tier 8 pet is very shitty. i know i'm not going to end up with amazing prizes. :(
@BoaConstrictor
Why shouldn't you have to unlock different challengers ?
I get that it's different from previous bosses, but it was pretty clear that each one was different and logically would have to be unlocked.

Not a glitch! It's over :) And yes, we WAY overestimated on how much HP these guys would need on a 6 hour fight. Dearie me.
@SHIBITO maybe it just got fed up.... was weird though that its HP dropped more than 2/3rds...
@agedbeauty @Diprosopus
Oh, okay! I totally missed that memo LMAO - ah, and I was so close to 500k damage /ugly cries

she definitely got nerfed. it took like 10 hours to do 160mil damage. there was no way we'd beat her by the end of the day.

Now that's what I call bad luck 5/6 times I got the complete block with one of my pets. I wanted only a tad bit of damage done with him for the sake of participation and focus on other pets, but still - meh. The other ones are doing fine though, as far as possible. :P
@Muerte
no, of course initially I did not go to the tomb, why should I, lol. After all I had unlocked the boss the other night after solving the puzzle. But at 1.30 my time I called it a day planning on battling the 2nd one a bit.

@Orchipea Okay, thanks for that information. Shouldn't make a difference then. I was afraid it was out for like an hour or more before 2 am. Because that would have sucked.
All in all, I think the boss times have run fairly. Small bumps, but nothing major. Definitely was nice to have someone on staff on at 2 am subeta time fixing the glitched boss. I expected it to be fixed later in the day so pleasant surprise. c: Kudos to staff.

To add to what @BoaConstrictor is saying, I logged on 2am subeta time to find the 2nd boss having minimal hp left. I don't know how long it was glitched for but it somehow got activated with low hp. It got defeated shortly after 2 am with a few minutes gap before the real 600mil hp 2nd boss was activated ~ 2:17 am.
Losses against the glitched bosses do count from what we've been told if I read right.
I'm curious as to how long the glitched 2nd boss was out. The glitched 3rd one was barely out before it got fixed again. :s Not so sure about the 2nd.

I'm starting to feel like an obsessive gambler as I chant "Come on baby, no wall, no wall!" at the screen. :P
@BoaConstrictor
Did you go to the temple to unlock it before you went to the BC ? If not, then it wasn't the site glitching.
I was on and had no problem with it popping up.

@BoaConstrictor looking in the Blae thread there was a post at 8:01am sayint "It's gone" - which would mean 2 a.m. - 8 a.m.
I was not on during that time, buisness with the kids...
Seems it was there for 6 hours.
