Stone Golems Rereleased!

May 19, 2015 8:16 pm

We are the women of the Secluded Shrine, Yumiko and Kuwabara. Have you chanced upon a battle challenge that has proven difficult with only your pets and limited weapons? A scroll is something that can help you out in this. They can attack, heal, freezeâ€¦many things that could help you achieve that win you would otherwise have not.

Talking of battling - would you perhaps help us out with something that is currently plaguing us? We woke the stone golems in order to play with some new scroll features weâ€™ve been working on. Theyâ€™re not yet ready, but weâ€™d rather the stone golems were quietened now. Please can you silence them for us? You can keep anything that they drop as a reward. We'll work on a spell to defeat them that will be ready by the end of the month, in case you are not successful.

For more information on battling, visit HERE. We hope to see you in the future.

YAY revamp! YAY re-battle challengers! Only nitpick...no link to the Shrine? :c

TYVM FOR HEAVYSET LOVELY WOMEN.

May 20, 2015, 12:05 am by

smh at all the Yumiko nay sayers. not every woman is soft, small, round faced, young and typically cute/beautiful, or your frankly gross view point of what "looks like a woman" lmao

I'm so glad to see more characters in revamps that look so different and looking less "cookie cutter" with details to differentiate them. I'm loving that we're moving away from all that and going into an actual diverse cast of NPCs like it should be. <3

I LOVE YUMIKO AND KUWABARA'S DESIGNS SO MUCH OMG

culturally appropriated names

lmfao what

May 19, 2015, 11:55 pm by

Hmmm, lets all take a long hard look at your "Kawaii Tumblr" linked in your profile, shall we?

May 19, 2015, 11:51 pm by

Me, too. I'd love to get my paws on those plushies since I wasn't here for that.

May 19, 2015, 11:41 pm by

Oh, the one on the left is supposed to be a woman? I couldn't tell. Like the old style look better.

May 19, 2015, 11:36 pm by

I was literally just looking at the scroll woman wondering if and when you would revamp that super old art. I LOVE IT! Such neat concepts for NPCs. :)

May 19, 2015, 11:29 pm by

really nice characters designs but what is up with the culturally appropriated names? not cool, subeta subeta staffmember saying it's 'cute'??? no it's just nonsensical..

Staff: ""Fun Fact: Kuwabara means "mulberry tree", and is essentially the Japanese version of "knock on wood". Saying it is meant to ward off lightning, which is cute for a lady that makes battle scrolls imo""

May 19, 2015, 11:20 pm by

Any point to defeating these guys more than 10 times? Are you going to bring back the other Saherimos plot challengers too? I'd love to pit my Alexondra against them again and get some wins in on the ones I couldn't go near then. Seriously loving this return as it was my first plot so it has sentimental value for me ;)

May 19, 2015, 11:18 pm by

Thank you for the guide, also for giving my 6 level fighter more then one thing to battle! :)

May 19, 2015, 11:15 pm by

Oh gosh, these two are beautiful. <3

May 19, 2015, 11:12 pm by

Where did Yumiko go? It looks like she was replaced by Kuwabara at the Secluded Shrine? But that's the only place I remember her being before.

Is she hanging out in Elwood's pizza place or something?

May 19, 2015, 11:12 pm by

I love everything about all of this except the names of the NPCs. I guess one of them has been around since Subeta was in its weeaboo phase, so it is only right that it be grandfathered in, but I'm very disappinted with Kuwabara. Especially with her skin color, she looks like she'd be a native. This all just seems like a step back lore-wise and a step pretty far back into Subeta's weeaboo phase. I'm all for Japanese influences and crap, but when you introduced an entire language for the Sacred Lands, it would have been nice to have introduced more unique names besides a name that apparently is a common Japanese phrase? Especially if she's indigenous, Saherimos is known to be fairly secluded and not heavily influenced by outside lands and governments.

I'm still reading the comments and trying to find out information from the feeble attemps Subeta has undergone to give this site some decent lore, so this comment might just be ranty and obnoxious. But I really did feel like we were getting somewhere and I realize a name of an NPC that probably won't be brought up except for a revamp in 6 years isn't much, but it's something when it could just have easily gone forward in a direction to give us a little more insight on Sacred Land lore.

LIKE WHY HAVE A JAPANESE SAYING WHEN YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A SAHERIMOS SAYING?!?!!?!? That would have been very fun and cute.

May 19, 2015, 11:09 pm by

Is anyone else seeing this while in mid battle -

Error 520 Ray ID : 1e94cb44a08302b9 â€¢ 2015-05-20 03:00:59 UTC Web server is returning an unknown error You Browser Working

Ashburn CloudFlare Working

subeta.net Host Error

After waiting a few minutes and refreshing the page it let me finish the battle ^_^.

May 19, 2015, 10:57 pm by

Before/After:

I'll miss the flower/bun thing in her hair, but her new look is intriguing enough that I don't mind.

I can't wait to see what the naysayers have to say

inb4 "too ugly omg huge noses ew so manly ugh ew"

May 19, 2015, 10:57 pm by

Thanks for the new loot and the chance to fight some old challengers i'd missed out on! Cool NPCs too...i'm going to have to hang out with them more often and make myself some new scrolls...

May 19, 2015, 10:49 pm by

Oh man, awesome! The old Golems from the Steele plot, with shiny new prizes! So much fun, thank you!

And wow those ladies are so pretty :*

May 19, 2015, 10:46 pm by

Times like this I'm so glad I have 20 battle pets. :)

May 19, 2015, 10:43 pm by

Opponents don't drop special loot at 10 wins, unless they're attached to an achievement for 10 wins.

May 19, 2015, 10:39 pm by

Not happy that all the new loot was spoiled in the news post. >_<

May 19, 2015, 10:32 pm by

Oh snaaaaaaap! :D

May 19, 2015, 10:30 pm by

Like was asking, is there only unique prizes for defeating these stone golems at 5 wins or is there another win tier higher? At 10 wins I'm still getting the same stuff as all the other rounds.

May 19, 2015, 10:28 pm by

I'd be happy to field the question about names, actually! Yumiko was the original name of the NPC before revamp, and I figured she may as well keep it - there's no rule that says whoever her parents are weren't effected by human influence and there's really no harm in it, imo (I mean, why not? My name is Jessica, but I'm not Hebrew, and have no Hebrew roots that I know of!). Then I thought, well, if we're going to let one badass battle matron keep her name, why not pull that same influence into another character, and give a fun excuse to pull in a little bit of trivia with it.

May 19, 2015, 10:19 pm by

easy opponents and wearable loot, hell yes. time to actually put my pet with stats to use :P

May 19, 2015, 10:13 pm by

love their designs but why.. why in the world do they have japanese names that makes absolutely no sense

May 19, 2015, 9:55 pm by

I adore the new NPCs but it seems a little lore-anomalous for them to have Japanese names? o:

May 19, 2015, 9:54 pm by

So much awesome! Also, both of the NPCs are absolutely fabulous. <3

May 19, 2015, 9:50 pm by

Thank you. ^-^

May 19, 2015, 9:49 pm by

They're all one hit wonders. :P Anyone worthwhile coming?

May 19, 2015, 9:44 pm by

Holy crap! I can actually challenge these ones and not get my ass handed to me! :O

May 19, 2015, 9:41 pm by

Oh wow both npcs are gorgeous but I really love Kuwabara's design!!

May 19, 2015, 9:29 pm by

I love Subeta. Those new challengers and the NPCs are awesomely wonderful. Thank you.

May 19, 2015, 9:26 pm by

Yumiko and Kuwabara are gorgeous.

Incidentally, I've had mulberries before, I had one of the trees growing in my back yard at a previous residence here in Phoenix, where they grow pretty well. The berries are very earthy and delicious as long as you don't eat too many in one go.

May 19, 2015, 9:18 pm by

So i just came back from a long hiatus, probably missed all the amazing battle stuff, but this is awesome! Don't have time right now, but will when i get back home.

May 19, 2015, 9:09 pm by

Kuwabara Kuwabara~ (all that they need is an energy sword and it'll be great :D )

May 19, 2015, 9:07 pm by

these npcs are amazing holy shit

May 19, 2015, 9:06 pm by

Fun Fact: Kuwabara means "mulberry tree", and is essentially the Japanese version of "knock on wood". Saying it is meant to ward off lightning, which is cute for a lady that makes battle scrolls imo

May 19, 2015, 9:04 pm by

Sweet move releasing new weak opponents. That way people starting to battle have a.higher range of opponents.

May 19, 2015, 9:00 pm by

thanks for the new challengers :) are they not dropping new loot at 10 wins anymore? just curious :)

May 19, 2015, 8:57 pm by

oh man the artwork for these NPCs is So Good stoked to see battling get some love!!

May 19, 2015, 8:54 pm by

For some reason I thought Blake Steele would be the one to awaken the stone golems. I mean, make us awaken them and steal our glory over defeating them. Again.

May 19, 2015, 8:52 pm by

So we have until end of May to fight them? Good, because I don't have time today. Darn.

May 19, 2015, 8:51 pm by

Why Kuwabara-san, you look a little... different than the last time I saw you. oO

But hey? An entire series of opponents I can actually beat! shock and amazement

May 19, 2015, 8:51 pm by

Kuwabara and Yumiko for Sacred Lands NPCs? REALLY??? Gotta say, I like the artwork though.

May 19, 2015, 8:46 pm by

Totally loving Kuwabara!! Thanks for these challengers. I was getting sad all the challengers were out of range for my poor Bean.

May 19, 2015, 8:43 pm by

THE ART, IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL, THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL

May 19, 2015, 8:42 pm by

awesome! hate to see official guides being outdated :)

May 19, 2015, 8:42 pm by

I'm going to be updating the cap section soon along with a few other things. :)
