Channel 5 News Update! - A Spirited Journey
Titania McGee here with Channel 5 Action News, your best source for up to date information.
The master spirit lays defeated, with the final blow dealt by Emrys, and the curse of Kiyo’s Sorrow is beginning to lift, thanks to the brave battlers and crafters that took up this monumental challenge, however something unexpected has happened! It seems that with the spirit gone, not only has the sudden inclement weather cleared, but a new land has been revealed in the South Seas. We now go to our Channel 5 Field Reporting, live on site:
“Er yes, hello Titania. I’ve made it to the emerald hills of the new land and have spoken to some of the locals. They say the land is called Shengui Guo, a land of spirits and the otherworldly, and that is has been shrouded by spirit energy for some time.
No one has come and gone from this isolated island nation for centuries, the streets and markets are almost bare, but the mood among the few locals I spoke to is celebratory. Perhaps, with time, the markets will fill again with the chatter of vendors and crowds.â€
You heard it here first: the threat of rampaging spirits has come to an end, and a new land has been revealed. What mysteries and adventures await in this new land? Only time will tell.
(You decide to visit Connor for possibly the last time.)
Note: There will be a few days in which we tally up the scores and sort out prize distribution. Work on your pets, play with your returned-to-color avatars again, or plain just have a rest! Thanks for sticking around, everyone. - Subetateam

OHMYGOD ARE WE GETTING A MIDAUTUMN FESTIVAL SUBETA HOLIDAY?? :D
I really enjoyed the plot, and Connor was adorable but I'm SO disappointed that things ended so quickly, and all on the weekend and I MISSED IT! :( I didn't even get to make one weapon because the hour wait wasn't up before the end of the event. :( I was doing so well too, getting almost all the achievements. :(
I think the plot was definitely lacking in places, especially when compared to past plots like last year's Morostide and the Masquerade murder mystery, but we got some nice art out of it and there were some cool ideas in there. There's always next plot! The new land looks really nice.
Okay but Connor isn't allowed to leave me. You got me attached to this precious muffin of a character, you cant just take him away from me after this.
I'm a little sad I missed out on the last challenger today. Went to work and came back and she's already gone. It seemed like the other two took much longer to take down.
I'm curious if we try doing more now (like playing the games) does that still add to points for the event or is what we did before this post all that counted?

Why does it always feel like plots end right when things are starting to get good. It felt like that with Morostide last year too, which was frustrating
Wow I honestly wasn't expecting a new location to be revealed. That's really cool.
I also have always loved how these are inspired not-so-subtley by real places and cultures. Super rad.

It's no Gensoukyou, but it's definitely hella gorgeous. :O! Looking forward to what it might offer eeee
O:
I was not expecting this! What a beautiful new land! I hope we get to start exploring it soon!!
MAYBE THIS NEW LAND HAS NEW PETS... 8D (One can hope!)
I absolutely love the oriental theme it has going on! What a beautiful contrast to the rest of Subeta! The artwork is beautiful. c:

@Amber that's what i figured! i was playing spot the difference with the spirited world map and the new one to see if the borders of shengui guo were vaguely visible underneath the spirit cloud and got distracted by the peka thing, haha. makes sense though, like removing the carnival from the map altogether. just threw me off at first c:
I'm color again and the new land is so pretty! I want to go explore, but nothing's clickable, you promised? :) The artwork actually reminds me of several CW's! Congrats Battler's and Crafter's! You were all victorious and I hope you all reap the benefits of your efforts. Also Idk about the rest of you, but I was kind of blinded and still am by all the color being back! (Would also love to play with my Avatar so hopefully that gets fixed soon too :) )
New Land!!!! HOw cool's that!!! I hope we'Ll get to explore it thoroughly! So many great new opportunities! Best gift eva for all of us I'd say!
Ahhh, the art for Shengui Guo is gorgeous!
And of course the plot coincided with the start of Ghost Month! Perfect.

That art is so fab. Actually, all the art has been fab! The writing was ace and just wow thanks mates this was fun! I love Subeta's plots more than anything ever.
Haters gonna hate....
Thanks for the fun! Can't wait for what's next!
Kudos to the fantabulous artists! So in love!!

@Mike my main issue is not with what you say but with how passive-aggressive you sounded in your first comment. now that we've sorted this out we can stop this discussion and you can take your suggestions to the suggestions subforum.
on to a different topic, did anyone else notice peka glade now being labeled simply as "peka"? it threw me off for a bit but it makes sense tbh.

Joking aside, I am super stoked for a bunch of reasons.

How are some users salty when you guys get actual regular engaging content literally nearly daily? Nearly no site left around can match that and on top of this,

except that here in subeta we're allowed to voice criticisms and say when we're disappointed and when things could have been done much better. in fact there's even a feedback and a suggestions forum.
someone having a disability that doesn't allow them to do things that are in general easy, does not make those things not easy. but aside from that my point was more on interactivity, or the lack there of, and the story being completely unfleshed and barely fitting together. and yes I did read every bit of dialogue and there were obvious connections, the throwback to the morostide plot was good, but overall it just didn't make for a compelling story. it's just severely lacking in thoroughness.
Though I did forget to mention specifically in my posts on this page that the art was wonderful. the challenger art was the best we've ever had by a great margin. Also the way in which the boss battle was done was a step in the right direction, though there's certainly more steps that could be taken.
p.s. while I don't particularly mind, keep in mind there are community guidelines to follow even when you don't agree with somoene's criticism even if it is harsh.

@Mike keep your disappointment to yourself, then. artists brought out their a-game, whoever wrote the dialogue did a great job with the references to last morostide's plot, a couple of new games are here to stay, and we get a new land. just because you don't feel personally satisfied doesn't mean you get to rain on everyone's parade, and just because you thought the steps were "easy" doesn't mean you get to blame it on people who physically or mentally cannot complete some of them. there's having an opinion and there's being an asshole about it.
that's all you'll hear from me, i don't usually pull these stunts on news posts :/

I love this! It is a bit strange that you picked that map location though. It's so crowded! There was so much space on the other side of darkside/shadowglen that could've worked
Okay first off this plot was great from start to finish. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see Merana or Amy again but that's pittance. As for the people who are irritated, well I can understand how you can be frustrated. I worked hard to solve the puzzles and gain the achievements yself before looking at the boards and offered tips to my sister and dad as well and even though I'm not a battler, I'm glad there were options for us non battlers to do some damage as well, that hasn't been an option in the past. I can't wait to see what the new land will look like!!!!!
One more thing - Can we keep the mini games? I actually enjoyed them more than the ones we have currently on the site. If not, I will be sad to see Gravedigger go. :(
Everything to the east of England (C) Neopets. How daer u infringe their copywrites by making a Chinese-inspired land????
A new land so maybe new pet specie(s) or new colour(s)? I sure hope so, I have two pets that I just do not have any idea what I'm going to do with them.
@Artist
I'm not sure about the blurred part, but I think the Carnival was removed because the recent Delphi update seems to have changed the location of the Carnival, so it no longer made sense where it was. You're still able to visit it via the Delphi map so I'm guessing the revision was intentional and permanent.

well I rather enjoy the idea of plots and i like subeta. but they obviously could do so much better its not even funny. It's incredibly disappointing because its obvious a lot of thought and planning went into this but it's just not a good story and doing one 10 minute step every 3 days is not enough b7y any means. I'm not mad, but incredibly disappointed.

New island!? YAY! I'm so ecstatic! This was a really fun and well thought out plot. Awesome job! Also, I can't wait to see what the even prizes are. :D
My only concern...

So sad I couldn't take part in any of the battles (was clocking overtime at work for the last few days). :(
But Shengui Guo looks amazing! :)

Congrats to Emrys... and thank you staff for a fun, frustrating at times, wonderful event. It was very enjoyable.
So, the spirits were on the cusp of anger, and jaxon's mysterious disappearance meant no rituals to stave them off. so kiyo attack's us with her sorrow and the litlte spirits rampage around causing mischief. the pirates and all anthromorphs have a common mysterious background. Obviously the new land should eb asian themed because asian themed spirit challengers..
That's basically the plot.. sure seems fleshed out to me, no holes, nope definitely not.
And it's not like the plot near enough lacked any interactivity. The only thing we had to "solve" was a translation where the answers were already given. seriously, it's kind of pathetic. Why aren't plots like the steele excavations plot where there was actually puzzles to solve, and a steady progress. why does every step have to be simple obvious directions and then a skip button is given because some people can't even follow that? why cater to the people who don't want to put effort in and actually PLAY SUBETA.
This plot felt a hell of a lot more like the centropolis garden mini event than an actual plot with a story and things to do.
