Altador Cup XVIII [Prizes]

[Buizel]

Realistic thoughts on whether or not they might change the megaphone to be multi-use? I don't have prize points to buy it myself, and as a once-per-battle item I don't need it & don't think it's worth more than a million, but I know that if they update it to be multi-use it's gonna be a feeding frenzy and ppl will probably be asking for way more than the current 15-20m... so I'm trying to decide whether I gamble on TNT updating it or not

I'm inclined to doubt they will, though, because if it was a genuine mistake to make it once per battle, they probably would've fixed it on Friday, right? On the other hand if it was intended to be once per battle it's unlikely they're gonna "buff" it just because people on the BD chat are petitioning (just like they didn't nerf thunder sticks)?

The chance of TNT updating the item are slim. We have to remember that TNT didn't promise the BD item would be as great as the TSticks happened to be. Everyone just hoped there'd be a powerful BD item, and sadly this year, it's lackluster. So, there's not much for them to "correct", other than user's expectations.

Although, if I'm remembering correctly, the soup item that was discussed prior was updated when someone sent a question in about it into the editorial. Maybe you can give that avenue a try and see if TNT may answer you there?

Edit: Sorry, forgot to say, if you do try the editorial route, be sure to ask TNT to take out your username from the question so that it'll show up as anonymous.

Thanks! My thoughts exactly re. your first paragraph and I'm hoping they DON'T update the item (since then I don't have to decide whether I wanna get my hands on one *lol*) so I'll just keep my mouth shut and cross my fingers TNT leaves it as-is.

Yup 100% agree. They won't change the item because there's nothing to "fix" per se. The items that do get updated are usually flawed dynamically, or break the battledome meta's somehow - like Varia's the bomb. I doubt they'll update it just because people expected it to be better.

I was looking at the stats of the weapon, %75 air block + 15 icons.

I'm no expert at battledome but I suppose being once per battle doesn't make it better than a void blade? Especially with last year having TSticks

Is that why people said it wasn't that good?

It became useless because of its once per battle usage

If its multi use having that 75% reduction will kill off a ghostersword & SUAP. Which makes it pretty high tier wep. I guess thats why TNT probably "removed" and changed it to single use . But thats just what i think

[Bulbasaur]

With talk of the prizes, have they ever RR AC items?

Like, would it be possible for them to RR TSticks? I've been wanting those bad boys, but they're to rich for my blood.
NP and money wise

They haven't rereleased past AC items before, to my knowledge. Outside of the paintbrushes they used to release based on last year's winner. If anything, I suspect the only place a potential release may happen is at the Hidden Tower.

But that's only if a TNT member decides to cause chaos on a Friday afternoon lol

Honestly with how gung-ho they've been about rereleasing things/making inflated items more accessible, I wouldn't count out random RRs here or there, and when enough users complain TNT tends to go Oprah mode to appease the masses

That made better sense actually, oh I would have liked to see that lol Maybe after TSticks not being nerfed last year they decided to lessen this AC weapon?

Now I can see why the expectation about TNT changing the usage on the megaphone.

I'm not sure if this has happened before with BD weapons especially with sticks being released not so long ago, but I think some items may have been rred before?

I'm not sure if it's also related to same team winning the cup since the prizes are supposed to be team related?

With how they want to RR high end NC items, Im all for them RRing some high end NP items as well Would be funny if they RR it as an Advent Calender prize
