The kinks are still being worked out, clearly :P

When things are fully up and running like it should, I hope you all will enjoy the new BQs.

Also, if you notice any opponents that are showing up in the wrong spot (like Prodigy in the first 25 quests), please let us know so we can get it fixed.

We're going to make it so that GAs get one skip per day, but that'll be it!

I thought this has bene talked over to DEATH awhile ago considering this was on my task list from like.. early last year and I'm just getting around to finally getting it out for the battle admins! The goal was obviously to have a little less EXP going out while letting people fight retired opponents you can't fight otherwise + having a little bit more of a gauntlet feel.

We're going to be working on the EXP prizes themselves over the next few days (I agree that the three in a row of 3,000 isn't fun, we're going to increase those) and look at adding some more opponents to the more sparse pools.

You get the EXP on the battle page, not the battle quest page. It's a little confusing but it already had the systems in place to give those prizes out!

We're adding in a "skip" for GAs (one per day!) so they can have a chance to get another opponent that isn't the one they wanted.

Because you shouldn't be able to complete every tier of the battle quests if you don't have a strong enough pet.

Anyway - like I said we're totally down to change around some of the prizes, I got my prize list entirely from and which they made seriously a year ago, so it's probably going to take some tweaking. We appreciate the feedback :)!

Because once people get there they feel stuck. We want it to feel like you're working up with your pet, not just blasting through, because every time you do a BQ you can feel how much further you're getting granted you'll be in a tier of it for awhile before moving up.

I also dont' think that this is handicapping people who are just starting, you're getting 1,500exp for the first five battles which I think is more than they got before? I could totally be wrong, though.

The current exp payouts were set up so that a pet, at any given tier, would be able to purchase 10hp if they could beat their tier's boss (with the exception of quest 30, that is bonus exp).

I'm sorry, but you guys aren't going to be getting the exp payouts of the old BQs. The 40-50k exp you could get daily was just way too high.

We'll definitely look into changing the amounts though. They were purposefully set low because pet growth was completely out of hand due to BQs.

Because the cap is moving very shortly, :)

I trust him with the numbers. And if those numbers were correct, then the current exp rewarded is incredibly close to what you were getting before.

Real questions!

1. How many fights would you want to do a day. I realize 30 is a lot for some people but I feel like it's totally possible to blow through the early ones if you have a decent pet.
2. If you were earning the same amount of points but every level (so 1,500 / 5) would that feel better? The idea is that at level 5 you're fighting a "Boss" (we didn't do a good job of visualizing this) and that's why you get all the exp. I'd still want 5/10/15/20/25/30 to give out more EXP because they are actually harder.

I hope you see where we were coming from, we wanted to make it feel a little more like a game instead of just doing the regular battling.

I'll get to all of your concerns and questions shortly. I'm working on the exp payouts right now :)

Well at this point we keep in the crappy items because Maleria requires them :P

What if we made a skip button to go right to level 16?

The exp payouts will be changed tomorrow :) There will be exp awarded after every battle going forward.
