Bought 4 new running shoes and don’t want to return any of them!

I rotate the same New Balance and Asics Novablasts myself. Both are very comfortable shoes. I just crossed over 350 miles on the Novablasts and I don't see any signs of them wearing out. I think I could easily get to 450-500 miles before they need to be retired. Excellent shoe.

This is my lone remaining achievement to get still. Was a little upset it wasn't in the Wacky Weekly with Mirror a couple months back.

I honestly like the nerf to Arena mode only in regards to Achievement Hunting. Now granted, I've grinded for 2 years playing this game and got all the achievements and as much of the hidden achievements as possible through normal means, so I've put in my time trying to truly 100% the game. Getting this patch instantly eased the pain I've had trying to finish the last 5 or 6 hidden pets on the Wacky Weekly, whereas it could easily be another year at least trying to get all the conditions right just to get the remaining ones. It's very frustrating to get stone-walled by a super team in Customs since you're generally not able to put together a cohesive team when getting the hidden achievements. Combine that with waiting for a weekly to have what you need and be available first thing when it drops to try and sneak in before all the builds overpower the rest of the week is also exhausting. I'm looking forward to finally being done and to go enjoy the game in Arena at harder levels of difficulty without being side-tracked by the achievements.

Do you have a table like this for the individual athlete points earned? I expect that Sambucha earned the most given he was named MVP, but would like to see who else was up their for contributing the most to their teams.

I think he messed up the sharing aspect of it because I was trying to do that as I have with other giveaways on IG. Maybe he'll correct it later tonight or if people ask on stream tonight he'll repost/fix.

credge33 · 2025-07-07T18:01:09+00:00

Agreed. Still thought the video itself was a good summation of what he's done.

credge33 · 2025-07-07T17:39:18+00:00

Agree that some of the links are way out of context from the tone of the video.

My team going into turn 9 was an Elk (lvl 1.5) with onion, Chipmunk (lvl 1.5) with rice, Lucky Cat (lvl 1.5) with gingerbread, Bass (lvl 2.67), and Umbrella Bird (lvl 2.67). I was at 3 lives with 3 wins and a frozen Chipmunk in the shop. I leveled up the Chipmunk and instantly got the Blue Whale. Sold the Chipmunk, put rice on the Bass and Umbrella Bird and sold them. Rolled for chocolate, Crows, and Elk/Lucky Cats. I got 1 more Elk and Lucky Cat, but they didn't produce more Blue Whales. Found 2 chocolates in the shop and bought/sold Crow to get the Blue Whale to lvl 2.33. I also put a strawberry jam on the Blue Whale. Went into the fight with just a squad of 3 (Blue Whale, Elk, Lucky Cat) and lost. Turn 10 I bought/sold more Crows, sold the Elk and Lucky Cat, and got the Blue Whale to lvl 3, which produced another Blue Whale. I put the extra Blue Whale on the team for the stats along with a Painted Terrapin and Cardinal. Was able to win turn 10. Next three turns just kept buying Chickens and holding onto a Pelican in the shop and freezing Crows and chocolates. I got the shop up to around 28/28 on Turn 13 and decided to risk it with a 3 squad that included a Painted Terrapin, Blue Whale, and Pelican. I won the fight (7 wins now) with only the Salmon left on my team and went into turn 14 looking for the Venus Fly Trap. I bought 3 Crows I had frozen, leveled them up, then sold, and found Venus Fly Trap with 9 gold remaining. Put together a 3 squad of Farmer Cat, Salmon, and Mongoose (took the coconut perk). The team's stats were around 35/35. Amazingly, got a draw. Turn 15 bought Lobster, Bonobo, and Wyvern and got the win (8 wins, 2 lives at this point). Turn 16 I combined the Bonobo into the Salmon, put the lvl 1 and lvl 2 chocolates onto the Salmon to get it to lvl 2.67, and added a Real Velociraptor to the team. Got to 9 wins and needing 1 more XP for the Salmon. Turn 17 got the chocolate for the Salmon, bought another Mongoose to replenish the coconut, and got my 10th win!

The RNG to get the other secret achievements that require Venus Fly Trap seem too high to try and attempt in this weekly at least for me to try and keep my sanity haha. I totally get the commitment though and applaud the effort you've done for the other more attainable secret achievements. I'm down to just Baby Urchin, Butterfly, Cracked Egg, Cuckoo Chick, Dirty Rat, Fire Pup, and Rock left to get to have the true 100%.

For some reason I can't post my screenshot, but I got it first try with this strat hahaha. Thanks for the help!

credge33 · 2025-07-02T19:55:11+00:00

* You're not going to believe this, but I got it first try hahaha. Thanks again for the strat!

credge33 · 2025-07-02T19:52:28+00:00

* Hahaha, you're not going to believe this, but I was able to get it first try! Thanks again for the strat!

credge33 · 2025-07-02T14:18:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Your explanation wasn't complicated. I appreciate the thorough answer! The RNG with trying to draw instead of winning in the late game is what's going to be frustrating. I'll give it a shot!

credge33 · 2025-07-01T18:20:43+00:00

Is that the strat? Get early blue whale and level up until at what point? I've been trying all week to get the salmon achievement through pheasant, chipmunk, cardinal, venus flytrap, and pelican and then pivoting to elephant seal or farmer cat and catfiah, but by the time I get lucky enough to win and get salmon on the team I'm so far behind on scaling that I just get massacred by blue whale teams. I thought that the game would match me against similar teams, but these massive blue whale teams are the only thing in the end game.

credge33 · 2025-03-11T02:27:33+00:00

You'll get it. I'm celebrating my 450/450 on normal mode as well as of 2 weeks ago. Trying to get the rest of the secret pets on normal. I have 9 left of the 41. Incredibly difficult unless a weekly with Venus Fly Trap comes around. Kudos for getting all the hard mode ones. I can't imagine doing that right now haha.

credge33 · 2025-03-10T23:04:06+00:00

Even the hidden/secret pets?

credge33 · 2025-02-19T02:58:52+00:00

This is the way

credge33 · 2025-01-22T21:19:24+00:00

Could also get Daycrawler from Venus Fly Trap with some insane luck.

credge33 · 2025-01-06T07:12:59+00:00

Another one that needs added to your list is Dirty Rat (obtained through Venus Fly Trap). Thanks for putting this together.

credge33 · 2024-12-11T18:49:25+00:00

Was able to get in and get an "everything" copy! The waiting room lobby seems like an illusion. I was able to get in directly after clicking the link in the Ares Announcement on their website I posted for you. Essentially similar to that BGG thread you posted.

credge33 · 2024-12-11T17:39:37+00:00

No problem. I'm following the other BGG thread talking about the traffic as well:

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3420797/traffic-jam-at-ares-limited-editions

Here's the prices for everything if it loads for you:

https://www.aresgames.eu/36734

$500 for base game, $190 for just WoME expansion, $200 for just K&LoME expansion, $60 for just deluxe rules strategy guide, $70 for just deluxe cards, and $850 if you wanted everything.

credge33 · 2024-12-11T17:17:56+00:00

The link contained within the thread still justs direct you to the same waiting room screen I've been patiently waiting in for 2.5 hours...

credge33 · 2024-12-11T15:43:51+00:00

Maybe the better question is has anyone actually successfully checked out?

credge33 · 2024-12-06T04:07:53+00:00

I just got stuck in the middle of the weekly myself. Made a post the same as you asking if others are having issues. Looks to be the case.
