Because of ?! The nerve!

Nawh, I figured it was either due to the cap raising 'soon' or the measured exp we're all now getting. Either way it makes me a bit sad because my battle pet already has such high speed that I'm hesitant to pour more tomes into him haha.

haha nah. i just meant to read my reply to her :p

yeah i didnt proofread it to see if it made sense :/

Yeah, purge mentioned somewhere here its gonna move. Personally, i think they should start selling stat reducers for tokens or for exp. I also have too much speed.

Haha, I knew what you meant, I just couldn't help myself. n_n

I'm still holding on to hope that someday we'll get a restat totem from the loyalty box or something. I'd hate seeing all that time/sp spent training/boosting/battling go to waste. Dx

[If too much exp was even really the problem, just reduce the amount of BQs per day]

THIS IS BAD IDEA

some of us like to battle why punish us. if you want only 15 then stick to that and stop i wish we had 100 in BQ but that will not happen.

serious people DO NOT ASK FOR LESS just because YOU don't like it please.It used to take me an hour to be done with all 30 now i get done with 30 in less then 30min in new BQ

people aren't asking for less quests because it's something they want, they're just trying to offer solutions to the 'too much exp' problem if that even is a problem.

I said if staff does insist on lowering EXP turn outs. Cause you get less exp now anyway. I'd prefer if they'd changed nothing at all, but if something MUST change, have it be that. Not this.

...How do you finish with the same amount of quests fighting the same opponents in half the time? Nothing was done to speed up the battle questing, so I don't understand how you're doing it...

Thanks for reading my long winded post. I tried to come up with something that could at least help some battlers. Honestly if you can choose your own difficulty levels you're just wanting what's best for your pets. Also kinda why I mentioned needing /3/ levels of difficulty that way people aren't just taking on Prodigy every time. :P It would be nice but in the end not very practical.

It's a question of quantity vs quality. At current BQ quality in terms of opponent difficulty/EXP there is really no need for so many quests.

Let's be real. They're not gonna give us 100 quality opponents. If you wanted to battle 100 times, go beat up on the worm or the punching bag.

I don't care if they drop BQ then i have NO REASON to stay.

hell pay 250exp and have 100 BQs then that is less than i got before in exp = less exp going out. but just don't ask for less then we have.

I think you're right. I also think it will help keep people from gaining too much exp. (Seriously, that was a thing? Who was getting 40K exp?) I hope we get to at least try it that way for a while.

Second time trying the new battling. I'm once again stuck on an unbeatable opponent, meaning I get nothing for the previous level I won, still have no way to opt out of the level I'm on except to wait until midnight, and I miss out on the rest of the levels. Yeah, I'm not sure I'm quite enjoying this. At least the weapon prizes don't seem to be the same 15ish all the time anymore.

Of course. And for newbie or not so seasoned battlers they can set a lower difficulty and get the most out of their BQs. Though they can just do that now by stopping at 5, 10, or 15 yes but I also had to include everyone else to be fair.

Sorry you're stuck. They did mention fixing the EXP gains though... sadly you may miss out today but tomorrow hopefully will be better for you.

easy instead of battling each with the pet i was needing exp i just blasted 1 hit kills all with my caped pet and battled with the pet on exp level. 30/30 turned into 10/30 battling.

I had a kind of idea for the way BQs work. Sorry if any of this has been suggested or mentioned already.</p>
<p>EXP Payout:</p>
<p>A small bit of exp earned per battle with a larger increment of EXP earned on the 5th battle. That way if you DO train multiple pets they aren&;t getting shafted. The EXP could be between 50-350 nothing too crazy, while the 5th &;boss battle&; earns you much more.</p>
<p>Picking your Difficulty Levels:</p>
<p>Some people don&;t like how time consuming BQs are now because of the changes so what if you can cut the amount of BQs to 15 so you have increments of 5 levels each difficulty with 3 total boss battles.</p>
<p>AND You must select your difficulty range. So you can&;t just have all Impossible challengers you have to pick 2 other levels of difficulty to balance it all out.</p>
<p>This would be a great way for beginner battlers to just focus on the smaller guys while giving other battlers a chance to deal with the tougher guys. And again it would be a good way to help train up other pets, if you&;re doing so which I myself am doing.</p>
<p>Example: Pet 1 is tier 12 can handle themselves with 99.9% of challengers. I can select 3 levels of difficulty: Very Hard, Extremely Hard, Impossible. That way I can maximize my time and training and not have to deal with easy challengers at all.</p>
<p>Noe pet 4 is weakest of my main battlers so for him I could select medium, hard, very hard that way he gets his EXP and I can feel good that he&;s gotten the most out of his time spent battling.</p>
<p>Anyway just putting out my ideas there, sorry.

don't be sorry. In fact, I think that's a great idea! And for each difficulty level, there could be a hover text listing a few appropriate challengers or what tiers are recommended.

with opponents listed: Eclipse, Buttwing, and Angry Angry Arnold are classified as Easy difficulty, recommended for T1 to T3 pets.

w/o opponents listed: Medium difficulty (hover reads: Recommended for T3 to T5 pets.)

...and so on and so forth.

Oh yes that works too it would REALLY help battlers (old and new) know just how far they can go and know for sure what they're getting into via each level of difficulty.

Thank you. ;3; I know the in-depth guide is working, I've seen some new faces around the BC thread. And I hope it helps those on staff try to understand and get into the fun as well. ^^

Exactly. It'd be a step in the right direction.

Yo, don't stress too badly! BQs ain't going anywhere. x3

As for the 'too much EXP' thing, I don't know if that's what was on staff's/BA's minds when they were changing BQs. I'm only speculating that. I don't think it would be possible to get 40k EXP a day! At best, a total somewhere between 25-32k would be an acceptable amount for these new BQs. The further you can go, the higher the reward should payout. =)

Archer We&;re adding in a &quot;skip&quot; for GAs (one per day!) so they can have a chance to get another opponent that isn&;t the one they wanted.

Extra BQ's where my SOLE reason to finally go GA, because catching/keeping up became absolutely impossible when BQs were introduced. I don't want to skip with a vague chance of getting one (! out of five needed to complete a batch), I want my extra quests, that I paid for, otherwise I want to turn in my GA, because it runs till mid-August! That little XP that MAY be gained is not worth a GA. I mean, come on, we got 7k for one (!) Impossible challenger, now we get 5k for 5? Don't get me wrong, I am all for less XP, always claimed BQs were a terribly bad idea to start with, but damage has already been done.

I don't understand the logic behind the no quit button and no longer having 20/30 quests per day. It should be handled like Item Hunt. If you're stuck at an opponent, you quit and start at level 1 until you have reached your daily limit of 20 respectively 30 or altogether less. And then continue the next day at whatever level we stopped the other. I also thought getting to the top would last longer than a day.

Other than that I like the whole concept.

I'm perfectly o.k. with XP only for fullfilling a set of 5. Fair enough. I like the idea. We should, however, still get another shot at the same challenger, in case of a surprise loss or chose the wrong pet, forgot to swap weapons and all that. With the 30 minutes time limit. Esp. with special guys popping up now and then, it would be a shame to miss the rare chance of really battling them, because you lose in round 3, due to not knowing, what they deal... or has this been fixed already and after a loss the same challenger can be tried again?

XP as being given out now don't seem to reflect the new stat price system that has been put in place. Little pets gain a huge advantage it seems? Or am I wrong? I didn't often get much more than 20k, when I still checked with my old pet, unless I got 3 or 4 Prodigies. Ever so often I had a measly 12 or 15k or even less! No idea, how other people got a steadily lucky 40 to 50 k ?!?

Old plot challengers are super, of course.

Also want a clickable challenger ;)

Yeah for diversity! lol repetition in each batch. Sanddragon 3 times ... General Error on 25 AND 26 ? and 27. and 29. Is Prodigy always level 30 opponent? Then I can spare me some extra rounds and battle 26 to 29 with one of my capped ones, 'cause my other one doesn't beat Prodigy yet, thus no XP on the last batch for her.

Look after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves - I always do all challengers, shame on those, that think they don't need to, and I know many split their quests anyhow, so I see no difference in having the smaller ones inbetween or done away with as batch other than the healing you got from the next small challenger in case need been.

HATE the new page setup (extra clicks/pages), can we have the old style again, I always used the original starting page to click "I beat soandso". It's been long and tedious enough doing it that way, I do not necessarily need to spend even more time on BQs, esp. if there is a set reward anyway, with no surprises.

Can someone explain to me why too much exp is an issue? I am having trouble understanding why I will not be able to get as much exp (because I may get stuck on prodigy). But, the people at the top can still beat them all and still get more exp than me which further increases the gap between pets. So thus, I feel it solves nothing (still perpetuates the fact that they will get to the next stat cap and I am again pushed down). Are we aiming to slow the growth of all pets because too many are at the cap? Or...?

Haha I did see that-- but they've said that several times now and I no longer have it in me to believe them, so I'd much rather assume it's bullshit and be fantastically surprised than yet again being disappointed. Fool me once, and so on.

Until proven otherwise, I'll assume this is another "soon" that'll turn out like the cults revamp. Y'know, a running joke.

-dies- I was sitting here like... well I did buy 57 intel boosters a few days ago BUT I SWEAR I DIDN'T BUY OTHE-- oh I see xD!
