I feel embarrassed for taking a loss right off the bat... he chain froze us to death. Oh well.

I'm unaffected by the EXP snafu, but it still royally pisses me off that they are doing that. Its just so typical of them to wave a wand and suddenly all your hard work is gone. As far as I can figure the only reason to get rid of the EXP is so that people can't hit the new cap instantly. Well why not? What is wrong with hitting the new cap immediately? Its not like the same thing won't happen all over again - with or without the EXP the new cap will get hit very soon. Its not like they will get rid of the new cap anytime soon, so people will still end up stalled for years. The only thing it accomplishes is to make people hurt and angry. To invalidate work they've already put in. Maybe that's the point - the unstated reasoning, to drive away all the loyal people who have been on site for years because we have too many advantages over people who join today.

I have a T11 and maybe its time to quit training her since I'll be punished the moment she gets good enough to actually battle the tough opponents. Why should I waste any more sP and time on her?

Just one more reason, in a very, very long list of reasons, not to battle.

i will try xD hopefully the change won't happen until at least a few months later xP

just realized, if they up the cap then will we get a tier 13? 14? and then tier 13+ weapons...? ;o

Thank You for bringing me back my item! To thank you, here is a reward. Reward:

15 Point Wizard Token AND Your pet Domon gains 4 Strength! AND 94sP!

Well someone likes me tonight. I retract my earlier pbbbth.

RE: the exp issue. I'd really like to see some way to spend it. Wiping it out is just wrong. That's time and sp we spent battling. I spent hours against Baen, and I'll be pretty upset if I end up with absolutely nothing to show for it, since I didn't make it to five wins. :/ Wiping exp like that is like saying you're going to wipe our accounts of boosters if we have a T12/capped pet. It just isn't right. I understand you don't want us rushing to the cap and complaining of being bored again so soon, but wiping out our exp is not the answer. Let us spend it on intel, turn it into tokens, something. [edit] Although, I don't really have a dog in this fight since I'm heavily leaning toward knocking Thracian's speed to 2k and spending what he has saved on HP.

Well as someone losing over 200m sP worth of xp any way you cut it, I couldn't disagree with you more. It's not ideal, but capped pets never should have been able to gain xp to begin with. Overall it's for the best, it sucks, but its for the best, no worries.

wait what they're gonna remove all the exp we've stored on our capped pets?! oh god please no :(

Not liking the idea of my exp hoard being wiped on Mala but since pet got all the exp points afterwards, now pet , my hoard with Mala isn't too high. Still upset about losing it though.

Are you freaking serious??!? We EARNED that exp - and they're just gonna wipe it out?! THATS BULL.

Just quoting this here since it got buried pretty quickly. That's what we're referring to.

You Won!

You have defeated Baenwurath 4 times!

You won a(n) Impossible token to use in the battle shop!

Aros earned 18225 EXP Points!

You earned 109350 sP for beating Baenwurath!

Lol, 71 hp left. That was a close one.

Why is it for the best? I have seen no explanation that makes any sense to me. What difference does it make if people put in work to reach the new cap in the next 6 months, or they've done the work in the past 6 months? Either way they put the work into it.

I don't see it as encouraging battling in any way, its pure discouragement as far as I'm concerned since they've shown that the amount of work you put in doesn't contribute in any way to the rewards you get out of it. Its all wasted effort so why bother?

You may be right that they never should have been able to gain EXP in the first place, but that's an error the site made, so why do the users get punished for it? There was a compromise mentioned - give those users an option, some way they can "spend" their EXP, that doesn't involve stats to their capped pets. Not ideal, but it would be something at least, rather than just wiping out all that work.

Congrats so much, good luck getting your 5th win!

Because it's all xp that never should have been there to begin with. It's no different than if someone had done all the battles they did after capping if the right thing was done by staff to begin with. Again, it definitely sucks, I'm not happy to lose my xp but better the price of boosters skyrocket than 20 people insta cap from xp alone. I don't think an argument can be made that it's better for any individual person alone, especially not people who are capped, but it's better for the site as a whole, which matters most.

I may be stupid about battling (they've changed the system so many times and I've wasted so much sP on weapons that were later gutted that I quit doing more than the minimum ages ago), but I really don't understand why "its better for the site as a whole"? Why is it wrong for those 20 people to reach the new cap instantly? Because then they'll be bored? And this is worse than them being angry, frustrated AND bored?

I don't understand why they discourage battling like this.

Frankly I don't understand the concept of capped pets in the first place, that's just dumb. If people get bored with battling, then they need to look at the system. Not implement stupid policies that just cause frustration.

Lady Aflame

3,499,531 EXP Points

Ive got the flu and am struggling to understand. What this means is all the exp I earned battling with Lady Aflame after the cap was implemented because I didn't have any other pet capable of getting the win was never suppose to count? How can that be? Anyone who's pet wasn't capped got the same exp that I did, why should they have been entitled to it and me not?

I didn't ask for the cap. I didn't ask to be stuck while others figured out to tank intel and level before they reached the cap to get around it. I didn't ask that the cap be raised. And now that it is, the one thing I have that's in my top pet's favor is being taken away? Is that the size of it?

If so, I completely disagree. Wrong is wrong no matter what the "reasoning" behind it.

got my 10 wins in against Surge, that was a fun 15 minutes or so

oh wow, i fell behind on the chat and it looks like i missed out on some important stuff. sucks that they're clearing capped pets' stored exp, but i guess there's no other way to get around the glaring problems it'd create otherwise.

aside from, you know, establishing a phantom cap. but that's just crazy talk.

that aside, i'm looking forward to a challenger reset. i've been looking forward to getting kolja's accumulated site boss loss festivals stricken from the record for a while now :p
