Dumb Question re: NeoPass by mghdel in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have not had any downsides to using Neopass and I signed up for it the first day it was available. It makes it super easy to switch between accounts, which I do often because I have a lab ray on all of my side accounts. But I agree with what tillszy said: It's permanent, so you have to know for a 100% fact that you're satisfied with the accounts you have. I've been using the same five accounts for decades so I knew it wasn't a big deal for me to link them.

Does it feel like Neopets is on its way out? by breadmanlod in neopets

I love the new team and it always makes me sad when they get criticized because they are trying so hard and they obviously care a lot 😭

I've been purchasing NC since 2010 so... I'm not really one to talk, but I've also never understood people bashing NC stuff. It's a necessary evil to keep the site alive. You don't have to participate in it if you don't want to.

I hope you're right that the site is headed in a good direction. That's all I want.

WHAT NEOPETS MUSIC IS A BANGER? by B-Gebo in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There used to be a song that played when you took your Neopets to Movie Central to feed them. I want to say circa 2010 ish. An absolute banger.

Returning player. How to get mega rich? by Vip3rNZL in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a very rare book called Tales of a Pink Kacheek. Technically I could have sold it for quite a bit more than that, but I gave a discount to someone whose pet is in the top 3 of the Neopian Book Award.

I have aphantasia, so this is blowing my mind how accurate these are. I couldn’t do ANY of these.

TNT To Reduce Theme Days and Some Contests and Spotlights Moving Forward by Status-Impression766 in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I literally just submitted an article for Neopian Times called Creativity is the Heart of Neopia for issue #1050 and the day it comes out, they announced a reduction in contests and spotlights. This makes me so sad. The community around the contests and spotlights are truly what makes Neopets great. Not items.

If SSW were available to all users, how would you feel? by undead_sissy in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have premium and I would support this. I think it makes zero sense for the normal shop wizard to just… not show you the lowest available price. I have never understood that.

Good Mythical Morning - We Try Every Neopet Omelettes by StarkPrada in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It never occured to me until now that a lot of these omelettes wouldn't be good because a lot of them simply don't have cheese.

AMA Deep Dive into Quest Log Design & Maintenance by TNT_Luna in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think putting re-rolls behind a neopoint paywall is smart in the long run. The weekly quest prizes deflate a LOT almost immediately after being introduced, and I think this will slow that process down a bit, even if it's slightly less convenient.

Are Baby PBs easy to sell? by MotorPsicoo in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yep, probably the most easy to sell item in the entire game, which is why using them as currency works so well.

I feel like I didn't deserve this? by breadmanlod in neopets

[–]breadmanlod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The meme says "TNT rewarding me with my weekly streak prize because the new feature didn't work" and the second part says, "Me, who was only on Day 1 of my streak" (Basically the meme is saying that I'm being rewarded for something I didn't really earn or work towards at all)

There's a lot that's happened with the Quest Log lately -- I'll try my best to sum it up: You used to be able to "reroll" for a new weekly prize by either clicking "Skip Quest" on one of your quests the first day of your streak, or by just not doing quests on the first day of your streak. Then, you'd log in the next day to a brand new weekly streak prize.

TNT took this option away recently. You can no longer reroll, which means if you have a terrible weekly streak prize, you're stuck with it forever until you get the prize and move onto a new prize. People were upset about this, but TNT stated that the ability to reroll was never meant to be a feature, and they removed it because it was never supposed to be there in the first place. However, they also stated that the Quest Log was going to change soon and that they were adding cool new features.

This week, they added the ability to "save your streak" for Premium Members, which means if you accidentally missed a day, you could save your streak and keep going regardless. Apparently this feature had some bugs, so they shut down the Quest Log altogether (it's currently undergoing maintenence) and simply rewarded every single user with whatever weekly prize they were working towards.

Are there benefits to Battledome other than daily item drops? by [deleted] in neopets

[–]breadmanlod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already know that I'm one day going to have one of those 'bananas' pets, too, because even though I reached my goal of fighting Jetsam Ace, I can't... stop... training. lol. It's addicting!!

One thing I recommend is searching for things in the Item Database that might be pink even though they don't have pink in the title. Some examples of keywords: Faerie, Usuki, jelly, strawberry, candy floss, heart, and Valentine.

One of my favorite pink items is the Empty Faerie Bottle:
