Anyway, so I don't sound too ungrateful, I do want to say I really like this layout for the Gelly War. Having the boss out for a week with a solid goal to work toward is A+. I barely even noticed any lag either. I'm also super happy with the new slappy weapon. The site's needed another core-combo weapon for a while now.

I agree, I do prefer this format over the old way. It's less anxiety-inducing to know that you've made the goal instead of wondering how you stand compared to other users. I feel like other battlers have been more helpful with giving suggestions to others for setting up their weapons to maximize damage than maybe they would be if we were still competing against each other too, which is kind of nice. I think it encourages more discussion and more battlers to attempt to get into it knowing that they're working towards a specific goal than competing against all the top users they may feel like they don't have a chance so they don't even try.

Yes, exactly! I loved knowing I wasn't taking away anyone else's prize by participating. I had actually forgotten they switched formats last time around and was about to sit this one out since I already had an extra core. It was much less stressful to know exactly when I'd hit the goal and much more fun to sit back and cheer on or help out other users.

And on another note, I do wanna say I've got no problem with the prize breakdown itself. The users who went above and beyond absolutely deserve their rare and special prizes. I'm just salty about the misleading post, even though I'm sure it wasn't intentional.

That's a good point too, the top users can get their Cores and other prizes while still encouraging other battlers to work on the goal and nobody is taking away someone else's chance to earn a prize. I think people will be more interested in trying battling if they feel like they have a chance at meeting the goal, or it will at least give them something to look forward to once their pet is stronger.

And yeah, I understand. Maybe next time there should be more vagueness regarding the prize tiers, or just a mention that they'll scale based on the average damage breakdown or something. I think that's how it usually worked anyway, so I'm not sure why the 2.5 mil was mentioned as being the potential top threshold lol. Oh well, there's always next time anyway. I'm sure the brand new prizes will be sticking around for the next couple of wars.

so your saying I need to buy out all the low end prizes this year.

jk, they are so common that would never turn a profit.

Well if there is another battle event that has battling and you need to borrow some shrieks, just give me a shout. I will gladly loan you some. :)

If there is another event and you want to put in that much effort hit me up and i'll make sure you have whatever the best possible set is.

Too bad that the core sucks as a T9 weapon, maybe someone could fix that.........

The BCC are incredibly helpful if you are stuck for where to get started :) It helps to start with knowing your set and scrolls, there are some that can be earnt if you don't want to invest heavily in your armory.

Folks are pretty kind about lending as well, if you need a hand to earn some of your weapons. T7 is an exciting time, because the progress you make is extremely visible in terms of the milestones you can get with your pet!

Won't bother posting my T7 since I was mostly "playing around" with him XD

Thanks for the kind words! I'll head over there some time :)
