war prizes. >:-(

I think the reason you see the same war prizes for a huge amount of people is it is TnT's lame way of trying to rectify the situation that happened in the beginning. If they would have erased everyone's points from the getgo (and yes I spend A LOT of np on cures and I still wanted this to happen), you'd probably see the prizes being very different for the same span of points. The fact is they made a major mistake at the beginning, they made another when they only reset people back to 300 rather than all the way, and this is their attempt to balance that out. (or at least that's the way I see it)

I can't express how...disappointed I am. Of course I did not expect to receive something great, but a plushie and 1000 NP for over 2000 war points? That's like a slap into my face. I could have earned ten times as much in half an hour playing flash games....that's just so *********

Thank you for supporting Hannah in the recent battle. You were, of course, on the winning side so you have been granted Clockwork Icy Skeleton and 1,000 NP!!! Your fantastic score was 214 battle points!

I wonder what the 'losing' side got?

I'd say something is very off...

On the last war, I scored only 115 points, and the NP prize was 5k ( me thinks).
This time around, people scoring 3k points, are getting 1k...

Personally, I don't care much about the prizes... The thing I like most about wars are the trophy shields... Since they will never inflate, get lost in a glitch, stolen, etc. And they can be showed off .

Thank you for supporting the Thieves in the recent battle. Unfortunately you were on the losing side, but nevertheless you have been granted Clockwork Icy Skeleton and 1,000 NP!!! Your fantastic score was 121 battle points!

The average score was probably much higher in this war than in the others, since at the beginning there was no limit on the number of monsters available to kill, while in previous wars and later in this one, there was only a set number.

That said, I'm not really sure what the complaining is about. Maybe it's the number of points I got (>7,000), but I got a prize that I'm pretty happy with, and some cash. Maybe I just made out better than almost everyone else...

At any rate, most war prizes have no real value in the end anyway, except as collectibles. They probably just switched to toys because they realized that items like the Darigan Skeith Tongue (from first meridell war) have been selling for just 100k almost since they came out.

And last war they gave away T-shirts. I'd say this is huge improvement - at least you can do something with a toy.

However disappointed I may be that I didn't at least get a battledome weapon, I'm happy with this. I think its kinda cute... in its own little way. And, as Shapu said, which would you rather have - a worthless shirt, or a toy that can actually do something?

EDIT: I did, in fact, get only 140 points.

Personally Im not too disappointed, I only scored 401 points so i feel that my prize is fair. Its not fair to people who scored way more than me though...

I think this has something to do with all the cheating that went on at the start of the war, so blame all the cheaters!!

Wed Jan 26, 2005 8:15 pm

Umm. Worst prizes. Ever.
That's all I have to say.

Ok it over, lets just move on, lol.

It wasn't just the cheaters, though. I think this needs to be perfectly clear. It wasn't the fact that the mobs poisoned, although a nuisance in itself, it was that they didn't get harder. This accounts for the problems in the beginning way more than the poison.

Actually it is true, due to the bug you could theoretically kill as much monsters as you want. But if you also remember, everyones score was set back to 300 points, afterwards the opponents becoming more difficult again.

The Complaining is about the fact that, for example, Neopets user A scored 300 points, and Neopets user B, who spent millions of NP to train his pet and get weapons, scored 3000 Points. And yet both receive EXACTLY the same amount of NP and a friggin plushie that is not worth the pixels it occupies. In earlier war you could hope for a semi-useful weapon with 2000 points +, and not 3500 +

Heh. Down to 121 battle points now. That really makes it seem like there was an error ... Perhaps they need someone to check over their scripts before they run them.
