I don't do it on purpose. the site breaks and directs me to a cloudflare error or server down error... there's no reason there shouldn't be an error though. it's sloppy to just have it hang and make it look broken to someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

I'm going to really think about this and re-read a good many times before chiming in, because these are a whole lot of changes.

I will echo all the other people hoping the scroll library related changes are finished and multiple weapon sets happen. Those were both promised by BAs and Keith well before this announcement.

For the win reset. I know it was said it will be the LAST thing to happen with all this (thank god!). I also know that what is announced a big old chunk of work for BAs and programmers. Can we get a very rough idea of when you think the reset will happen, a month, three months, six months, +? I want to know how much I'm going to have to kill myself to get all possible wins in with my 28 pets.

Ordering the scrolls and having them stack. Stacking meaning if I have three psycho smasher scrolls in my set and go into battle I see one psyhcho smasher scroll and the number three instead of three psycho smasher scrolls. The same thing that was done with potions.

Can you give me a low ball number for when a reset will happen? If you want to be safe have wins done in a month, two months or whatever. You can make it extremely clear this is the low ball number so if it isn't done in that time people aren't coming with pitch forks. You might want to post that in the regular news so people who aren't obsessed with battle can get in on finishing their wins.

Refreshing isn't what is breaking it, it's selecting 3 weapons that breaks it. It just manifesfs itself for me when I refresh because that's when I don't notice 4 things are selected.

Reordering and stacking scrolls.

Changes look good in all but am not excited for boss battles with a low global cap if that is ever in the plans. Not at all.

just wondering about that special loot after win ten - will it also be announced or is it something that we will come accross when playing like the "secret" opponents you had to find ??

i mean if you have beaten a certain opponent 250-500-750 times all of a sudden a secret loot will drop into youre inventory or so ??? i would love that !!! for some of them that way its an adventure to see what you get where and on who :):)

we dont have to know in advance everything all the time do we ??? that way its a bigger challenge too !!

Oh also for scroll library. When you go into edit a set, have the section that shows all the scrolls be alphabetically. Right now they are listed by item number/when they were added to the site. Its horrible to try to find the scroll you want.

Lastly for scrolls, have them stack on the choose your weapons challenger page too. Right now you get hella amounts of scrolling to get to Start Battle if you have multiple scroll sets saved. Especially if those sets each have many scrolls in them.

[edit]As the programmer gods seem to be smiling on the BC right now. Can the select a pet part of the choose your weapons challenger and BQ pages be fixed. People have reported that their pets sit on top of each other so they have a very hard time choosing the pet they want. I don't have that issue but when Keith tried to fix it before he made the BQ challenge page and the normal challenge page different. For normal choose your weapons challenger page I see four pets per line. For the BQ challenger page there are five pets in a line with lots of space between their pics. I don't care if it's four or five pets I just want it to be the same number no matter how I'm entering a fight.

OMG! YES PLEASE!

This seems like a horrible idea. The biggest benefit to spending tons of time and sP/CSC on your pets to make them battlers is that they, well, have an advantage for battling.

I'm gonna have to come back and re-read everything, and carefully word my responses to each change. I'm not awake enough yet, but so far, I like most of these new changes.

I'm looking forward to special loot drops being extended to past 10 wins, particularly when it comes to scrolls, like Psycho. But I have to agree with kbbob, if another reset is looming, it might be better to retire all the current loot drops, because they've lost value. Paintbrush Blades took a big hit this last time. =/

I'm not entirely certain about the global stat cap thing for bosses. I suppose we'd need a war in order for us to see if we GEL with it. ;P

When I've selected three weapons by mistake, I just close out the battle tab, and go to the stats page to get back into the battle if the site acts up from my mistake. xD

Wait, so is the curse thing for when you're cursed, or when you've cursed your opponent?

How exciting! Congratulations on getting so much done, Battle Admins! :D

Woohoo, looking forward to these changes being implemented!

It's like in some role playing games when you're silenced and can't use magic, or paralyzed so you can't fully move.

The global cap would be interesting for some puzzle battles where you must beat or do the most damage to a certain challenger given you have specific stats. However, since we want to train different particular builds for different reasons I can't really envision that it would be satisfying to have your pet handicapped because ... well isn't there a cap already?

The refresh issue can be annoying. If battles already keep the state when you return to an incomplete fight from the status page, how come refreshing the page can't do that? So is the same thing when selecting 3 weapons by accident.

I like the loot drop after ten.
Really hoping for multiple sets for weapons as I have T13 (main) and T6 (secondary) and it would be great if they had their own weapons. I will wait patiently for this to happen.

Exciting news... I better hurry to get those last 10 wins from the impossible challengers. XD

Putting a cap on the cap.. for fuck's sake. This is the same as saying that all pets now have 10 of each stat, but they can use any weapon they want. Because fuck training, and fuck tiers, let's just level the playfield!

THAT FINAL POINT. Time to go battle with the like 15 pets I've been ignoring cause it takes so long.

Capcaps will be fashionable in 2016. You heard that from me first! :D

I wouldn't really worry about the reset happening that soon, given it's last on the list. There should be plenty of time to get your wins by then.

Thanks for the updates :o

@ Purge can we have it upfront whether any scroll will be nerfed (lower stats, more AP, etc), just a simple yes or no?

It sounds like there's directly going to be some difficulty added to the BC, I like the sound of that, even if it just means watching baenwurath's HP carefully so i know which weapons to choose.

Global stat cap... I'm really on the fence about this, in that, when i plan a build for capping, I plan it around trying something out for the global bosses. So if I go for a specific numeric value on a stat rather than a specific ratio, suddenly my build is broken. I imagine this will achieve the whole idea behind it, having more fierce competition, however it seems already from the posts that some of the top battlers won't be having the fun they would during a global boss otherwise. I think the last global boss fight we had, with the breaks and whatnot was a better idea than this is, or than they would be combined. IIRC there was at least one t10 (maybe 11 but i think 10 EDIT: There was actually 2 t10's and 2 t11's in the top 75 last boss) pet who won the AU, and kbbob managed an outstanding performance with his t12, compared to the many t13's who participated. Also the top 10 per tier prizes were an excellent addition. So, is the goal to let ANYONE win, or to let any dedicated battler win...? IMO it should be the dedicated battler, in a way that encourages people to become the dedicated battler and the last boss fight achieved that. There's certainly more competition in the rankings right now than there was before.

And lastly, opponent loot and exp beyond win 10. I am very grateful for this, BUT I really think it's absolutely necessary for this to come with a reduction in the amount of boosters going out. Quentin gives out faaar too many amulets and shinwa too many boosters for there to also be another viable way to gain stats. I wouldn't want to see boosters nerfed because some people have some serious hoards and I don't think anyone should be punished for it, but future supply should be GREATLY limited.
