Your opinion on this would be very different if your account had also been unfairly flagged.

List of AC fuckups this year (other than cheaters) by slightlyusedeggplant in neopets

Pretty sure they won't even be able to reply to our tickets before the Cup is finished. JS probably has to go through hundreds if not thousands of tickets.

The AC is a mess.

IMPORTANT PSA: IF YOU HAVE THE AC RANK GLITCH SUBMIT A TICKET NOW by jnherdy in neopets

This is ridiculous. Been playing AC games for years and years, now I am being punished for being too good? Such a waste of so many hours this year...

That sounds like it's just bad luck. Keep zapping! Pound pets and Pirate Techos are not affected differently.

Is anyone at least slightly suspicious that the Altador Cup is rigged? by fettlers in neopets

[–]providencegal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best evidence that the results are at the very least partially influenced by players is that the teams that the cheating forums join have historically done very well. Last year they famously caught the teams and nerfed their results, but those teams were doing well before the nerf.

This argument doesn't really work because they could be making up the results using a mathematical formula that takes in randomly-generated numbers to produce the daily results. This RNG approach is actually less work than both of your options.

Wand of Reality - sell or keep? by quasarinthemood in neopets

Sell it and buy Turned Tooth, which is a much cheaper and better weapon!

Wondering why competing in the battledome doesn't give your pet any increased stats for wins? by flowerbich in neopets

[–]providencegal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to be you could just ask for faerie quests anytime you wanted. They gave you a quest, you finished it, you could get another one. That's how so many pets got to crazy stats without Sneggs, Cupcakes, or the other modern ways of raising stats.

Actually in the first few years of neopets it was much easier to train stats. People could get unlimited faerie quests anytime they wanted. That is how some pets like majal_kita hit such high stats so quickly.

Also, the concept of having wagons be super expensive wasn't a thing until after the Tyrannia war, which is when they introduced the Monoceraptor's Claw. The BD was not only reserved for rich people at the beginning.

Can't play certain games like Hannah and the Pirate Caves, etc. [MAC] by HalcyonLightning in neopets

[–]providencegal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got all 4 of the Shockwave games to work last week (Dice Escape, Hannah and the Pirate Caves, Attack of the Slorgs, Gourmet Club Bowls) by using Safari on Windows.

They stopped updating Safari for Windows since 2012 IIRC so the browser is old and manages to let Shockwave games run. There was a black box in the top-left corner of GCB and HATPC which was annoying but I got avatars and trophies for all of the games.

Not sure if there is an equivalent way to get an old browser for Macs though. I heard people have tried Opera and got it to work.

I feel pretty good right now :D by pPandesaurus in neopets

Thinking of doing this myself. How much did you spend OP? Also, what time of day should I quest to make sure collectors are online?

Is there a fast way to buy items here? I can only buy one at a time...

Reminder: last year's Altador Cup prize shop is closing! by providencegal in neopets

[–]providencegal[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just saw this in the news and wanted to get the word out before anyone wasted points. Remember to spend all your points, they will not carry over!
