So now the scroll library is finally up and running, and multi-weapon sets are being worked on as we speak. Battles now also "refresh" after a turn is made, reducing page-loading and lag, while improving battle efficiency!
Thoughts and feedback from y'all? Improvements you'd like to see made? Any further suggestions you'd like to se be implemented as programmers work on the multi-weapon sets?
I've asked Amber if the ability to re-order scrolls via drag-and-drop, like in the armory, could be implemented for those of us who are OCD about that sort of thing. :p

From what the BAs and Keith have mentioned those options are being coded. Which is awesome can't wait. Just hoping the bugs get all sorted out soon.
needs more reordering, things its dumb that you cant zzz

It is a great idea in theory but there are so many buggies. I cannot see my scrolls at all when I battle, and the pages are hugely oversized and the printing is all muddled. I am not going to battle until it is all fixed.
I give my pets really long names, I like it like that. Can we have more room so we can see a pet image and can we just delete the petname if room is a formatting/design issue?
I did the first battle and it worked, but after I went to the new 'get ready for battle page' and then into the second battle my default scroll set wasn't there. Even though it was selected on the main page?
[edit]
And I can't select any of the other ones.
Battles do not refresh for me. I don't think I'm the only one that this is happening to - am I?? Maybe I am doing something stupidly wrong? Here are screenshots of what I am seeing, having to manually refresh after each turn.
Enter battle Before first turn After choosing weapons and clicking make your turn - endless load image at top I used the wrong screenshot here - there is actually no indication of damage, etc - looks just like the previous image with the addition of the wavy bar at the top After refresh After clicking game over - endless load image at top After second refresh - no payout page
My other recommendation would be to show the amount of AP each pet has when going into battle. I checked El and made sure he had at least 90 AP before setting up a default set for him. But it'd take out the hassle of checking my pets and their AP amounts beforehand.
I noticed on my mom's Mac Air/Safari, that I couldn't get a BQ started after clicking the opponent. There was no "Start Battle" button.
But now that I'm on my Dell desktop/FF, everything works fine for me.
I suggest everyone rattle off their OS and browser being used if you're running into errors. It helps out the programmers.

Battling is much faster now, great changes! The one thing that would make things more streamlined for me now would be on the page where you go when you say you want to challenge an opponent again, and it has you verify your pet/weapons/scrolls setup, if the "Start Battle" button would be located at the top (instead OR in addition to the button at the bottom, whatever) so i don't have to scroll down past all my weapons to begin. Everything's selected by default based on your last battle, so assuming you don't want to change anything, having to scroll through that page is pointless.
(Also looking forward to reordering of scrolls but i know that's coming. Just saying i'm glad to hear it!)
I have Windows 7 on a Dell laptop. For browsers, I've tried Chrome, Firefox (38.0.5), Safari, and Opera, with the same results. I have updated java and flash. I have cleared the cache. Still not working for me.
If anything, I need a hover that tells me what the scroll does, because I'm not smart enough to remember! That way it would be like the armory which tells what the weapons do.
You Won!
You have defeated Ice King 14 times!
So I just did that without scrolls. Kinda proud of that XD
Can't see my scrolls on Ice King Challenges.
I'm on Windows 7 and Chrome 43.0.2357.81 (up to date, just checked), and I can't see them in battle for some reason. And I've already done my BQs today so idk about that.
2. Why does the first battle no longer work basically? I can't wait to challenger the harder guys with no scrolls and get a loss just because the site isn't coded correctly. OKay so the "battle with defaults" = no scrolls selected. That link needs to be removed from the front battle page or fixed. I'll give one star for that, but it's begrudgingly.
2a. Battle quests are going to be great, so much for getting back into the swing of doing those-- maybe in 2016.
I love not being able to order anything :'D Not that it matters, I don't seem to have any scrolls in the first battle anyways lol...
Why can't we delete a scroll set?
Overall opinion: 2/10 stars, wouldn't order again and wouldn't recommend... can I have the option to just attach scrolls to my battle pet again?
I really wish they would fix it so I got the hashtag battle pings.
They will make it so you can order scrolls, they've said this in the news. there are obviously bigger bugs right now.
Why does deleting a scroll set matter? You can just edit an old one, it does the same exact thing. A few extra clicks this way though.
My biggest complaint is just how plain the scroll library main page is. It's hard to have more constructive criticism if I can't really battle since the page doesn't load for me.
have you selected your set as a default set yet?
-1 out of 100 i hate it.
yea battle goes faster IN BATTLE but takes forever to start the battle now.
i want the default scrolls back please that i had on each pet this is fine for if you ONLY HAVE 1 pet......................................
Live your Life to the fullest cause you never know what will happen tomorrow......
I'm like 85% sure that wasn't there originally xD
-- I also found that it doesn't list scrolls alphabetically at all. It's listing them in the order that you add them to your library-- so for those of us with ordering tendencies all you have to do is take them ALL out and then put them back in in the order that you want them to show up. Tedious, but this'll work until the day we can order them more easily.
Because of that I'll give it a 5/10. I minus 5 points for the un-informative news post involving all of this. And also because you can't see what scrolls are in there without accidentally making a new set (which I did twice) or editting a set... and because you can't hover over something to see what it does. So, still a 5/10 but better than it was before given any information on what's going on. lol jk -_-
I did the same thing, was confused and saw that button (it isn't obvious!) it should probably select your set as default automatically if you have just one.
we'll be able to drag and drop them in order eventually. but I'll also be able to get my page to load or be able to use my scrolls from the select pet page eventually too. There are obvious bugs that will get addressed.
Giving feedback on anything besides layout right now is kinda too early, since this should be more of a bug report gathering thread.
Nevermind, it's listing them by type or however it wants. I take back everything, I'll battle whenever ordering is fixed.
I'm perplexed that the total AP needed for each scroll set is shown under the set while no AP is shown anywhere else. It would be nice if you could see, at a glance, how many AP each pet had on the battle choice screen and could then pick a set option accordingly.
I'm also perplexed why the battling portion is so broken. The shiny new scroll library loses a lot of its luster when it's coupled with such a high annoyance factor.
If we're intended to live-beta test everything, can we just admit that?
Assuming we get all the bugs sorted out.
Can we make the scroll sets collapse-able? so it doesnt take so much space.
