New Challenger: Bewitched Bookcase

This bewitched challenger works differently than your typical challenger. The difficulty changes drastically as you get in more wins against this haunted foe. Its special loot is given out at different amounts of wins instead of the usual 5 & 10 wins. You'll surely be well read after defeating this spooky adversary.
If you start a new subscription (or wait a month) it'll automatically be added to your account. However, if you already have a subscription and visit the Battle Coliseum you should get an event unlocking the challenger.

"The plan is for you to lose access to the challenger when you end you subscription."
Ohhh,...
that's not so cool.
I just finished 2 months of GA, that's much too time consuming for me, doing 15 quests for every quest giver. And that's the only perk I used. I don't find anything of use for me in the GAs, since the extra battle quests were "stolen" from me half way through my full GA year, which I had bought for those solely.
I haven't fought many of my Cash Shop challengers yet, because normal game play eats way too much time and I don't have any left for battling. And if I do, I want to enjoy it and not be under stress, which I have during events, anyway - and enough in real life.

God I hope after this we get challengers like this for other collections! Gourmet food! Plushies! Beanbags! Stickers!!!

I hope that this new loot model is passed onto the CS challengers - at least the ones released this year. I think its only fair that the challengers that people are paying CSC for at least drop the basic loot that all of the normal/secret challengers drop. For example impossible challengers drop tomes at wins 10, 15, and 20.



So I'm a few dozen fights in, and I like this opponent's gimmick. Would be in favor of seeing "atypical" challengers like this.

I do not use PayPal and I had loads of problems with credits, Stripe doesn't know that Israel exist and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one in this position. What are we supposed to do?! Not fair and not cool!!

Square up; all those books you read one time & threw away are about to see if you've got the write stuff~

@Satyr I'm not a battle admin so I can't say for sure, but I'd assume it's correct since it scales in difficulty.
@jensen @BoaConstrictor The plan is for you to lose access to the challenger when you end you subscription.
@MarchOnOff I wasn't sure on this so I asked another staff member and they said "You can subscribe outside of the US, there are PayPal and credit options".

not to be a debbie downer immediately after this thing comes out -- because it does look cool, and i'm really happy to see a new kind of scaling challenger! -- but i sure hope this isn't the start of battling transitioning to some kind of pay-to-play model tied exclusively to subscriptions ^^;



Thanks, Amber! So if we only subscribe in, say, June, we will still get the challenger then.



Is it a bug or a feature that the bookcase is giving out different difficulty tokens? I'm a fan, personally.

@BoaConstrictor No, it'll be available. It's just if you subscribe right now you'll get the event as you subscribe but if you already have a subscription, it'll be added to your account automatically when it renews if you don't go visit the Colliseum.

"If you start a new subscription (or wait a month)"
So it will only be added February or March and not thereafter? ...when probably another will come out?

@Satyr but if we do it to more challengers, then mr bookcase will be typical!!!! (honestly I love the idea of this challenger and I can't wait to see other fun things the BAs come up with)
