i really like the minion corral, but the fighting bit is like a shadow of pet fights in the battle colliseum which makes me wonder why it's being done at all. it is kinda fun. just way not as fleshed out as battling pets.

Other than the newer minions with the 10/10/10 stats and no basic attacks that have already been mentioned, it's a fun feature. I'll probably just leave my minions from my gallery in there from now on. I'm looking forward to seeing the future prizes!

OMG! i think i like this feature!! I know many people were hoarding minions and im sure they'll dig this feature :D I believe i will use this feature myself :> I battled twice with the same minion, and i liked how fast this is. My minion leveled up with just 2 battles, and this is something i like.

I hope we will have a link somewhere to find the zoos more easily.. Thanks for this feature :)

Excellent idea! I like having a collection of minions, and am curious to see how battling gets fleshed out!

Ok so...I got a minion to level 5 but I still have no idea what the heck I'm doing.... I used re-animate 'survive a hit that would normally kill you'.........but it killed me. Are some of the abilities dependent on level? 'dirty trick' where my opponent and I swap health also didn't work because I had 3 and he had 8, then I died and he had 5...

Also what do you do with the ability points? It says I am using 0/5 but it has let me select all of the other unlocked abilities from the beginning...

I can see this feature has a lot of potential to it. I managed to get a minion to level 3 and I have no clue what I'm doing XD. My minion kept getting clobbered by opponents with lower health than mine had XD. Imagine a 10 point health minion getting clobbered by one with 3 only health XD. It let me click on 3 different attack choices before I could click on the continue button. I'm curious to see how this fun feature will work out in the future :).

Like said this has a lot of potential too it! I'm really enjoying it tbh even though I don't know what I'm doing...then again, it IS minions xD I think it would be useful to have a thing like in the normal battle coliseum to see what your opponent has used on you because sometimes I'm beating things that have 15 HP and I have 6 and sometimes losing to ones that have lower health than me... I'm a bit scared to put all of my minions in for now so I'm just using some cheap ones that I bought xD Really do love this feature tho!

...And the point is?

It's cute, I can agree with that. Just, why?

Why not add things like this into the actual Battle Coliseum? Not minion battling, the moves. Choose a move or choose up to two weapons like normal. I would find that rather refreshing.

This just seems like staff decided there was not enough features that needed to be fixed and built a new one simply because NG died.

Collection-wise I would like it. I already have a gallery full of minions. I just don't think we need two battle systems.

Played around with it a bit and sadly I'm still quite lost even though I leveled my Binx up to five before quitting. I miss NG a lot and had a pet there that was nearly in the top ten but even though I can see some similarities I don't feel like minion battling is nearly as intuitive as NG battling was.

Wow, thank you everyone for trying this out so far! We've got a ton of usable data. I want to post a few notes before I go to bed, though!

  1. We're going to add a little more data to the page itself in the final version, but this won't be like the "regular battling" where you can see a ton of information.
  2. There will be prizes when it's launched to the site. Items, achievements, etc.
  3. The idea is that you will browse the site and be challenged by random event (or during an event by whatever) and click a button and it'll pop up in your current view, you'll pick who you want to fight, have the fight, and then keep browsing the site. I know right now it feels weird that you're just clicking on your minion and battling right away but that's so that we can collect a bunch of data at once.
  4. More information on the skills is a great idea, and we plan to add icons to make it clear that you're being healed, that your opponent is being hurt every turn, etc.

Keep testing and playing around with it! Where do you want your zoo displayed? We'll obviously have a link in the same place that plushies/trading cards/beanbags currently sit in your profile, but anywhere else?

I'd like a "champions" box on my profile that shows my three strongest Minions. I'd like the Minion I fought with last to also be in the box where our headshot and petheadshot is in Forums.

Right now I've got a TON of minions in there, but no way to organize them. As I play around with them I'm sure I will like to fight more with some than others. Also, I know we once did tagging for minions and I'd like to sort mine by my own categories and to be able to put categories.

I would love if a widget could be added in our sidebar, also it would be nice to have a link to our zoos on our profile that is a little bit easier to find than in the section with our other collections amidst a wall of text. Wasn't sure about battling with minions at first but if it ends up similar to NG I'm all for it. Can't wait to see what it looks like finished with a bit more to explain what is going on during the battles. :)

I think an issue that might be causing a lot of these abilities to have no effect is the fact that 1 turn includes the turn the move is used. So essentially, a move with a cooldown time of 1 turn has no cooldown time. And a move that blocks damage the next turn, or prevents the opponent from doing anything next turn, really take effect on the turn they are used.

Personally, I think cooldown should be adjusted. For, what I think, are Wild pets or whatever they were classifed as (Kutora and Binx are both classified as this) all their moves have a cool down and if a person doesn't know exactly what they're doing, it's more than likely they'd end up in a turn where they can't attack because all their abilities are cooling down.

Maybe they should still be a part of galleries, since I think a lot of people have/are working on the 10k gallery achi using minions.
