A new feature!

I went through a few battles with a minion (up to level 4), and with the abilities you start with. Everything seemed to be working okay. I really didn't expect this feature with minions, but I like the idea of having a place to keep them, and the battle system is an added bonus. It seems simple enough, and I like leveling things and earning prizes. Thank you for this.

The battles are fun, but I don't think any of the abilities do exactly what they say. Also health is op and other stats are worthless atm, my level 9 with 3 def 2 speed 25 hp is basically invincible with the default abilities, while my level 8 with 13 def 9 speed 18 hp is significantly not as good as the lvl 9 was at lvl 7 because only hp seems to have any effect in battle.

Its fun but it gets too boring if you play for a while.

That sounds awesome! I always wanted somewhere to put my minions other than in the gallery. :) But like others said, hopefully some minions will be re-released.

just curious.

what is the end goal of this? is this going to mimic pet battling as in it will show be in events, there will be exclusive loot, etc? or is it supposed to be a fun/simple game for minions.

its very interesting, but im not sure i can take another section of full battling lol

Wow, you're FINALLY using my old Minion Zoo that I whined for for so long when I was on Staff after only what... eight or nine years or so? XD *FLEES... while sticking out tongue * XD

Pokemon? ;3;)/) --nah... I'm just hallucinating... 😏

Play again button is really high.

There is a bit of lag in between attacks for me

So I'm not entirely sure, is this a glitch or supposed to happen?

Played a bit. It would be helpful to keep different moves colour-coded like it is done on the page for learning abilities. Like how one colour is attack and the defense or heal moves are like a different colour too!

I'm assuming that different types will get different rewards once things like achievements and (possibly?) prizes are implemented, so I'm keeping all the minions I have in there for now, but I really love the fact that we can add and remove as we wish because there are some creepy crawlies I'm possibly going to toss into my shop after a while.

This is awesomely cool, just need to learn all the moves.

So I battled a minion up to level 4. Interesting. It let me add all the abilities I wanted to. Kinda figured there was supposed to be a limit on those. Also, if there are multiples of the same minion in the zoo, they don't stack. That would be nice, unless they were different levels, which these weren't.

Also, the page seems to only handle a certain number, then it just goes wonky and shows the minions in an ongoing footer. Figured that was just a beta error but you prolly wanted to know about it...

LOVE HAVING A PLACE TO STORE MY MINION COLLECTION not in a gallery!!!!! kuddos

Thanks for the info.

general thoughts:

• interesting! not sure if different enough from pet battles right now, though.
• would love to see more on display options/features for people who are not interested in battling with their minions
• PRIZES WHAT KIND OF PRIZES.
• how are minions categorized? there are an awful lot of minions; will each minion have its own unique abilities/stats/prizes to be won, or will it be like by type (e.g. flying minions, underwater ones, etc.)

questions:

• what does the lower green bar do?
• what constitutes a “turn?” i assumed it would be each time you/opponent make a move, but for abilities that say “cooldown: x turns” or “lasts x turns” it doesn’t seem to match up with the number of moves/turns I make.
• right now strong attacks and weak attacks are all doing the same amount of damage for me. is that going to change at some point?

suggestions:

• agree with and her post about ability trees!
• maybe let minions do team battles? because i just feel like I see an awful lot of minions on my zoo page and some interaction between them would be nice!
• minor thing but “xp” reminds me of a face… can we just call them “exp points” to keep it consistent with regular battles?
• please make minion rarity play into this somehow! that would give more incentive to collect rarer/higher priced minions, so that you get some special battle moves or maybe rare minions give better battle loot once you get to a certain level or something
• basically i think my number one suggestion/want is for more unique features for different minions. right now they all basically behave more or less the same. I would want them to be different in the way they battle or the loot they can earn or something. that way, it’s more fun, and users will have more incentive to grow their minion collection (as opposed to battling with the same couple of minions all the time).

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the abilities that are supposed to increase the effectiveness of either attack or healing moves don't seem to do what they say.

And should I be looking through this topic to find out what each stat does? I honestly see no use in a Speed stat if this is going to be turn based battling, like our regular Battle Coliseum, rather than a real time based system. [edit] btw, I'm all for some sort of Elementarium inclusion. ;) [edit] Warrior might even have the chance of having the reverse effect? Used Warrior + Volatile Surge and this happened (it was at 5/9 health before)

I bought two minions to test. As I am not a battle person, I didn't have a clue what I was doing and no instructions were really provided to help...so this may be something more appealing to those already in the know.......I can't see anything particularly zooish about it and am loath to move my minions to a place that will just display additional data about stats.

When I go to get more abilities only few of them actually show the description when you hover over them.

Medium and low and high attacks do the same damage for me at the moment (level 3)

Think rarity should play a big part.. will go through this thread but if we add all our minions will we lose anything? what if things screw up? would I be screwing myself to add some of my super rares at this point?

Wait wait wait, so I'm training 12 pets to battle in the BC and now I can battle with minions too?? How much is too much!! This seems rather superfluous, but I'll try it out.

I am not sure if this was mentioned, but it would be helpful if the wishlist option was available during hovering over our opponent in case we see a minion we want to add to our WLs for later buying.
