Neopian times realses more war news

[Turkish]

Sorry if this has already been posted. If it has, just move along a let a mod delete/close it please.

There are rumors going around that there will be a war in Maraqua with the upcoming plot. I am just wondering if this is true because in editorial 175, it states that there will probably not be a war with the upcoming plot. I was wondering if you could settle rumors. This could help balance the market because at the moment these rumors are causing mass inflation. - kingzedfed

We weren't going to have a war this time as we want to rewrite how our wars work. This should make it fairer to the people with weaker, less experience pets and provide a challenge to the players with expert battledomers. The more we think about it, the more it seems to make sense that there would be some element of fighting tied into this plot. It does feature a lot of pirates after all! We just need to make things smoother and fairer for everybody. Sorry if that is a bit of a round about way to answer your question. We are almost certain there will be a war, but I wouldn't go wasting your Neopoints on expensive equipment as this battle will not work in the same way as before.

I hope I'm not the only one that finds the bolded point disappointing. I'd rather it go back to normal. I've never even participated in a war yet and it may already have been turned into a joke

To be honest i'm glad they are trying to re-work the wars. I love to participate but my pets don't have very high stats.

Yeah, I wondered what she meant by that. It's a little worrying :/

[Anoohilator]

It's gonna be a sackrace where movement stats are really useful

EDIT-this post will only make sense if sarcasm mode is enabled...

How would a sackrace be a war? Maybe the pets will all become mathletes and battle it out with their intelligence

[Witch King]

I can presume for this one, if they do have a Marquan War, their tempoary Quick Fix will be something like the PetPet Battles.

They'll essentially in a way make everything even. THey'll give everyone certain weapons. THings like this that are preset and we can't really change.

I like the IDB's statement on this. Only time will tell how fair it will truely be.

[Chao]

I don't see how it can be any fairer than it is right now.
Training and Weapons= Good score and better prize.
Little to no training and poor weapons= Low score and bad prize.

That's fine the way it is...

just out of curiosity, is a pet with high 20s as all its statistics a relatively weak pet? Would I not be able to properly participate in the (normal) war?

Aw man, I wish they'd do a puzzle, man, I loved those.

They could have there be several ways to fight. As I understand it, wars up to now have just been battledome fights. They could make it more diverse than that. Like, for instance, they could have something like Invasion of Meridell as one way to participate, for the more strategic-minded fighters. You know, just have a bunch of different tasks that could earn you points. War isn't just brute strength.

Anyone who thinks the wars up to now, and fighting in the battledome in general, are just brute strength obviously hasn't battled much...=/
