Yup I agree the beanbag should have went out in a different manner. A free gift would have been most idea since it was originally supposed to be a free item via Melody. Also totally unrelated but is there any word on how Keith is doing? Was just a little worried since its been over two weeks since he said he had covid.
"""technically free""" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here considering the hundreds of millions of sP it costs to raise a battler to tier 12 and outfit them with the appropriate weapons and scrolls
i empathize with the people upset about the sloth, it's a cute beanbag and doesn't even match the aesthetic of the opponent it drops from. it should have just been a free holiday gift like it was originally supposed to be, come on lol
Also you guys forget that there are plenty of battlers with high tier pets who can get the loot. And then sell it. Right?
HE LIVES?!
I think I saw that post somewhere. There are a few unreleased Holiday items.
I was wondering if we can get some not so hard challengers. In the mid 5-15k range?
I also like the challenger loot being "technically free" when battlers invest so much time and money into battling. I quit battling because to was too expesnive for my taste.
"We have a free item we forgot to send out, where shall we put it?"
"How about this super hard challenger that most people can't beat, that will cost a fortune in training and weapons?"
Yeah.. great plan.
"The only choices were between this challenger loot the majority of the site has no chance of achieving and BHH."
fr
free gift is right there
Whose idea was it to place an item that was supposed to be "free" as a challenger loot? (And not just any challenger, one that not everyone can defeat 5 times)
I'm glad I didn't collect beanbags but as fond of battles, I think is unfair for the rest of users since originally was a "holiday item"
Yes! Got it afterward! I did not want to double post and could not edit, so I waited for another comment. Thank you! And here, I did my part! I got a few little hits on him :D 27467 / 27500
you have to click on the 'event' tab here: https://subeta.net/games/battle/challenge.php
Ok, being so new (and so naïve, lol) HOW do I battle this guy? I can not find him in my opponents. Is the card something I have to buy? Yeah, yeah, I know if I try to battle I will lose, but it is just for fun.
Just one thing I noticed .. "People provided feedback" Where though? No one posted in my suggestion thread on-site, so was this subeta discord or another thread I missed? /shrug

man, as a relatively newer player i feel like this beanbag release is the latest in a string of situations or decisions that have left me feeling a little wary about investing into this site like i really want to. i'm more than understanding of how much passion and hard work must go into taking care of and preserving a site like this and i have a lot of gratitude and respect for that, but it doesn't sit right to see 'people were going to be unhappy no matter what' used as reasoning for making a collection item far less accessible in a way that directly goes against what users were already told and were expecting. it is what it is at this point, but it's pretty off-putting and i just hope this is handled differently in the future.
in keeping with the actual theme of the news post, though, good luck to everyone battling! this guy will probably still be too tough for me another year from now. 😅
There's not point in arguing anymore, it's just something to consider for the next time an unreleased item that we see in the directory is going to be re-purposed.
the furious ice giant drops a sloth beanbag. L M A O
Can we have a few easier challengers please? 😬
seems like kinda an awkward drop...not that I'll ever be able to battle him. Doesn't really fit with his aesthetic.
Great, another battle event.... so inventive, creative...
Damn he is strong! I'll have to re tweak the weapons and Scrolls, when I have more time. I still can't access forums from my phone.... So annoying. Any tips, I'm happy for people to comment me.
I'm kind of miffed the beanbag was released this way. I was the user Amber replied to when I queried the unreleased beanbag and was told it was going in a special shop. It and another unreleased beanbag were stopping me from getting the "completed beanbag" achievement and I didn't think it was fair? Oh, well, I suppose now I have a goal to work toward? Yay, goals? :'D
OOOH Thank you!!! He's pretty cool and his drops are lovely :)
This is a joke right? You promise a special shop and then throw it as a BATTLE CHALLANGE ITEM? It's not even a challanger everyone could beat... wow this is actually wild. I can't belive this was solution that was thought up...like wow. How is a battle challanger even remotely close to a special shop? Pretty disappointed in this whole thing to be honest.
We didn't even get to do MM. There have been no updates about it. And honestly people breaking promises is just expected. It's over used as an excuse?
And yet again staff breaks a promise 🙄 and we are still expected to believe them BHH would be much better as it is a shop, even if it's a really scarce one
The reason it didn't go out via Melody was because I honestly messed up the days, there was one set of items too many (we specifically planned for 2 a night and 2 under the tree this year). There were two items left over from the previous year I used near the start that threw off the whole count, I figured out later (like ... after the holiday was over and couldn't go back to adjust a night :))
Well, poor Holly, that didn't go her way at all.
I will say it would have been kind of funny if it had been added to the Blue Building, since it's not blue. Blame it on shipping errors or something, would have also explained why it was late for Lumi. :P
I'm not going to argue the point much, but I do feel like the item is a bit out of place with this challenger though. Yes there is the winter theme, but the beanbag is specifically festive for Lumi which is already over by this point, so it's a bit of an odd fit.
Stuff to consider for the future I suppose, it is what it is now.
And that's completely fine for you to be upset about that. I knew no matter how this was released, it was going to ruffle feathers. The important thing was to get it out there in some way.
I'm not even that desperate for the beanbag, I just think it's unfair that we were told it would be in a special shop and then it wasn't
Yes, I did change my mind and release it a different way. People provided feedback that the items were intended to go out via melody (which is free) changing to a shop where they pay was not ideal. I get that. I tried with one item as battle loot because a. winter theme b. you aren't paying for it technically c. it was otherwise going to be thrown in the BHH where people would complain about never seeing it. There was no way this item was going to go out where everyone was happy, but I also did promise it would go out in some way instead of just sitting dead on the site.
I remember seeing it as a Holiday item. Don't feel bad, though. Many people won't be able to get the beanbag. I'm included lol
I honestly thought the beanbag would be an item that everyone can get via Crystal shop n.n
It still feels like you went back on a promise. I know I can't be the only one who feels this way. I really thought it would be in the Token Shop like the other item, since it's been over a week since that happened.

Yes, it was meant to be included. I had plans originally just for a special shop but with the winter themed challenger, it seemed a better fit.
Just in case you needed any proof. 5th win loot for a difficult challenger is not a special shop. I would have preferred it to be in BHH (mentioned in the full comment) over this.
[Spoiler]Not a fan of the way the beanbag is going out.
And still bo MM for the other collectibles stuck in limbo too. [/spoiler]
Dead after 2 hits... Yeah, nope.
The beanbag was originally labeled as a Melody item I dont see how battling a super strong opponent is a place for it. Im an avid beanbag collector and will never be able to get this
Will the Unstable Snow Fairy ever return? :(
SPOILER (click to toggle)
Wait, was the beanbag meant to be included as loot? I mean, cause he's a really difficult challenger that many users don't stand a chance against and you also said it would be in a special shop like the ice skates were. I'm kind of disappointed at this, cause now I'll never be able to get it, not even from the Free Shop
Never mind! I didn't check under my event tab to see if I already had opened him previously. He's WAY too tough for me to beat this year!
Are you suppose to play Ice Fields or just stand there at the beginning ? I haven't found him yet.
thanks for the link honey!!
5th win loot (with a particular special item included)

Oh, apparently he was around in February 2020, so not as long as I thought.
