  • Surviving Newbinators by dlebel

    When I was a newbie, I had a difficult time in the battledome. I found myself losing most of the time. I was thinking: “What am I doing wrong?”. It took me time to find out what was happening. This story will help newbies find out that they don’t do nothing wrong, it’s the newbinators that are abusing them!

    What is a newbinator?

    The newbinator deceives its opponent by sending pets with low stats (15 HP and less) fighting in the battledome with very powerful and expensive weapons. They fight opponents with the same STATS as theirs and they win every fight without efforts.

    Why is it a problem?

    Newbies need to be treated with care. When a newbie decide to go for a quick fight in the battledome, when he selects his stats meticulously to have an opponent that will be enjoyable to fight, he deserves the chance to actually fight!!! Newbinators are also a problem for pet owners with better STATS. If a pet with 30 HP finds itself in a fight against a pet with 9 HP, the 30 HP pet would normally play a little more defensive and chat a little to have fun. But because newbinators are lurking, you never know. This little pet may be owned by a newbinator. Most of the time, you attack like berserk just in case!
