I really liked the story between Matlal and Kahalitzel MATLAL U ARE THE BIGGEST TROLLING TROLL EVER THOUGH I STILL LOVE U. I hope we're actually going to explore more of what's happening with Merana being free and all, Butterface, what's going on with the treasures, WHO SENT THE MAP, etc.
With the cliffhangers like this (IIRC, we actually wrapped up all the other plots we've had) THIS speaks to a plot going on longer/showing up again throughout the rest of this year and the next. I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR PRIZES THO. AND I'M GLAD NO ONE DIED!
So where is Amys ghost saving us from Merana somehow? I was kinda expecting that our favourite sea witch would run loose in the end, but I was also expecting Amy to have some role in this.
But whatever, as long as I get Elwood and Blake and no one steals the Wizard I'm fine.
Ok wait, is that it? There was the "rush down the mountain" part, and now they're standing there saying it's over. Did I miss a step?
Are you viewing Subeta on a mobile device, by any chance?
I think I looked at the van step on my phone, and I didn't see the "continue" button pop up underneath the map until I looked at the page on my computer.
In any case, there should be a "continue" button that comes up after the van animation at the bottom, but it might not work so well on mobile?
ok it worked this time with the 'continue' button at top of map. Gonna go play with plot steps now.... too late for sure
No more Hydrus and Butterface??
Oh, I see.
Thanks!
If you watch the van animation one more time, once it completes does it load a new page (should be the outside of a temple, iirc) or does it just reload and play again?
Also, you might try the standard clear your cache, hard refresh (Shift+f5), and possibly a different browser (if you have access and especially if you are using IE/Edge).
Then revisit the Bad Omens splash page (sidebar on the News or again here.
If the van animation is still just reloading and/or if none of that works, it's def ticket/staff time. ought to be able to help, but I would probably do a ticket too just to cover your bases/in case she isn't on so you have time to do everything else.
Guess Kanon's not going to be changed for now, seeing if I want him back to his Hydrus color, I'll have to wait for a bit. :P
noooo. I waited to run down the mountain for this?
I see the discussion had between elwood and blake, with the button to click on to get in the van and ride up the mountainside. is this a glitch???
If you go back to the Bad Omens page now (here) is the van animation still what you see? If so, that's probably a ticket or ping . If not, what do you see?
oops page kept timing out.
Lmao.... i dont expect that will happend, lol... Holy cow... thats all i can say.... But i dont want to get toast or roast like chicken! X'D PD: Error 502 Ray ID: 2e613915788750bc • 2016-09-21 23:16:06 UTC Bad gateway
I remember getting the last amount of bd challengers when entering the second tomb. Then I go to next step which I don't remember what it was, then I got to the page where you hop in elwood's van and take a trip up the side of the mountain to the tomb at the top. I refresh page, the van ride reloaded and reloaded and reloaded....
Wow I feel this ending is a little bit.. Open ended. It's like "Well, now you've freed the big bad guy! But no, you don't get to help solve the new issue!" Kinda like if I were to play a Zelda game, play until I get to Ganon's castle, and the game then suddenly ends without me getting to fight Ganon. Or some similar instance in any other game. It was fun and all, I just really feel this was a cut off rather than an actual cliffhanger. At least with normal cliffhangers you get SOME answers to some of the things, not just an ending with absolutely nothing. It feels really like it ended right at the halfway point. I would have been excited to move on, but if there was a break of months or more between this and the rest, I probably wouldn't be near as interested in it as I would right now.

- Yeah... I actually just joined the site when Battle of Omen Islands was near ending. I was able to do a few Amy quest before it got changed to Sarah (I remember because I noticed character change when I was doing newbie quests to build up sP. Of course some sort of random achievement/Quest wipe had happened some time during one of my hiatus in the past and made sure now I have NO Amy achievements at all + no hope of getting it). And amidst my confusion, I did indeed choose pirate but had no clue what went on... so a few days later I was left with thought of "Darn it, I missed a whole big plot?" XD
*next season see I can't even type it it's too much to handle
- ah ok, didn't realize that! thank you, haha. :)
but I don't want to wait until the season D: whaaaaaat
Even though I hate puzzles, the story-line was nice and battles were fun. Thanks Subeta for the extra entertainment!
This convo (link to someone posting them in the forums) after the boss battle goes over it. Spoilers.. kinda?
Also it references an old plot (again, spoilers?) you can read about here if you didn't participate in it at the time c:
"Perhaps this is callous of me, but I wish I could find regret in our actions. We islanders have suffered under her for more than a century, and though it is a curse on the rest of Subeta, it feels like a blessing to me."
i'm going to come to him first when merena begins wrecking the rest of subeta, "you islanders" are not the end all to subeta's population. 😤 😤
Classic cliffhanger indeed... It was awkwardly anticlimactic how everything just kind of became fine after all the mad beast and rushing down and OMG and stuffs. At least explode the volcano!
This was a solid (but not great IMO) event with different activities for everyone to enjoy, but it felt so incomplete now that it ended like this. Since today is the ending anyway, timezones or not, was there any need to keep everything on hold for 24h merely to say "the end... for now"? If when we finally reached the village we could fight a second batch of challengers and 24h later we cleared the island (to give everybody a change to fight), then maybe. But just for the dialogue...?
Oh well, please rest now guys!
You can skip the puzzles, but in case you don't want to there is a strategy for 2048
Behind a link in case you'd rather not!
Remember you only have to get 512, though there is an achievement for 2048 and at the moment you can't replay the puzzle
Also, there is one more puzzle after but it has a solution as well (called 'peg solitaire' again, if you want to look it up) c:
"Who is Butterface?" lol
What do you see when you go to the Bad Omen page (click in the sidebar)? If it's the outside of a temple, click it to go in and that should move forward. If it's the inside of a temple, there should be at least 1 open door. If it's basecamp and any of the NPCs have !, click all of them and then you should be able to move on.
If it's not either of those lemme know, I don't see a place where the plot should actually be able to hang (although staff should be able to help if there is) but there are several little steps where the next action wasn't suppper obvious.. having to reload or revisit the page, or have a conversation before moving on, etc.
aaannddd i'm still stuck at the 512 puzzle...
Well...did you ever ask anybody for help? The forums were full of people talking about the puzzles.
"Everyone exchanges weary looks."
No Shit!
Also the catch up period would be a lot more worthwhile if people didn't essentially already have to be caught up to fight the boss that just ended.
For the few people who didn't want to even try to fight the boss who notice that they can still do stuff for 1 day, sure, great, I suppose. But it doesn't seem worth stringing the vast majority of the rest of us along :c Cause I would have gotten that stupid extra 2048 achievement that wasn't announced, but it wasn't at all worth skipping the boss over.
, Congratulations on your emancipation, sir.
pissed off with the plot cuz I could never figure out how to get past the damn van ride on the mountain. I couldn't advance and I had no idea how to.
Also does this mean my unwanted Hydrus quest is finalllly gone? Because ef Merena being freed, worth it, lol.
Please add that feature (even for a cost or a wait) when they come back for real, kthx.
They've said it's temporary, they have an idea to bring it back shortly (well, hopefully shortly).
Merana's probably going on a long awaited vacation right now. She'll probably sleep for about 24 hours. That's what I'd do.
Interesting world building,if a bit rushed at the end - i like the fact that Matlal isn't completely bonkers and feel he's going to helpful in future plots.
also, the 2048 game? I'm going to need that added to the site proper please. I ended up having to skip it as I was getting so behind and never finished it...AND IT'S REALLY ADDICTIVE

ehhh.. the end? .. I feel like I've hit a brick wall. Ah well.. at least I can bash some more baddies for a while. -grins-
Metroid's idea is something I'd look forward to. There are events in the past that I wasn't around to take part in, and I've always been curious the details and how they might have played out. So I'm excited to see this if it goes through. Also want to say that I was one that had multiple posts of frustration, and now I realize I could have honestly used a chill pill for most of it.. but I did enjoy the "Trail" concept, and I honestly wish it could have run more smoothly and could have finished in it's entirety. I hope that even if there are people like me that get frustrated and sometimes are a little too vocal (not to say our opinions aren't valid), that it won't discourage the site from executing future events. I look forward to this site's future and what it might bring, and have enjoyed being a part of everything that I've gotten to so far <3 As far as this one goes I don't think we're quite done with this.. as it is anticlimactic right now, I don't think it'll stay that way too long.
So, does this mean no more hydrus pets?
OR WILL IT POP UP IN NOVEMBER WHO KNOWS WHOOOO KNOWS
I understand the need to let everyone in different time zones catch up but I think next time can we not use something like 'frantically running down the hill because we touched a thing and everything is going bad!!!' because I really thought, all day, something cool was going to happen. I was really looking forward to it, actually, so when nothing happened it was a serious sour note to end the plot. Just, maybe something with less build up next time? I think the general reaction would have been different if it hadn't seemed like more action was coming.
While there have been a ton of reasons I've been waiting for this plot to end, this seems a bit awkward (even for a cliffhanger). Like climbing the mountain, it feels as if it was intentionally cut short because someone lost interest and couldn't be bothered. Then again, there really could be more coming, what with Keelhauliday and all. I can't see a newly freed sea witch swimming off like nothing ever happened when there's a packed boat in her waters. In that case, cutting it now makes sense so that everything fits by month's end so that we can all have a couple of weeks to breathe before Morostide. We shall see.
P.P.S. I adore Cozcoatl!!!!
Shinwa- you got some splainin' to do!
For real though, I am happy for the Islanders, like some of you have no idea they didn't deserve all this drama. Maybe now The Goddess and the Sea Witch can get justice served on both of them.
TEAM ISLANDER 4 LIFE
Awesome! That'll be great to see come January I'm guessing, after the holidays season ends.
Butterface 3: Merana's Revenge (2017)(PG13) Run time: 1 week Now that she's free from her Omen Islands prison, Merana sets out to get (in her eyes) justice. Where will she go? Who will she attack? Is Shinwa safe?
LMAO SORRY NOT SORRY
But what exactly happened with the volcano? It was going to erupt and then it just... didn't?
What about the volcano beast? And Merana mentioned that the "Island" spoke to her and it was angry at what we had done. And suddenly it's just cool with letting us go, no problem?
I get the cliffhanger ending, but it does sort of feel like something more should have happened.
the end of this plot is like ending of the last season of the walking dead tbh building all of this suspense about RUNNING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN MERANA IS FREE!! just to be like well that's it tune in next!! very, very underwhelming ending to the plot.
- Couldn't you have left a 24 hour window for people to catch up after it ended, so it wouldn't drag on for those of us that were already caught up?
No, said it was just to give other timezone users time to catch up on the last steps :) So, basically, if you've made it to the last door (or battled if you like taking part into world bosses), then you're all done (it seems)!
