lorratee , May 19, 2015 10:21 AM NST oooo im curious what the contents are

waning , May 19, 2015 10:24 AM NST I just splurged and bought all three. I am unable to activate them yet though.

everyway , May 19, 2015 10:31 AM NST But I'm excited to see what items are within. Very reminiscent of the NC Scavenger Hunt from last year. The pack images could be wayyy better... Nothing about them screams, "this is a neopets.com item"But I'm excited to see what items are within. Very reminiscent of the NC Scavenger Hunt from last year.

lorratee , May 19, 2015 10:37 AM NST

waning , May 19, 2015 10:43 AM NST lorratee: I am just guessing they are making us wait until they actually announce the event before they let us activate them (or so I hope).

lorratee , May 19, 2015 11:04 AM NST hopefully

mistyraider , May 19, 2015 11:24 AM NST It sounds like fun but where are the files for purchase located? I looked in the NC Mall . . . what am I missing?

mistyraider , May 19, 2015 11:37 AM NST Maybe this is like Stocking Stufftacular and the link is going out to folks according the names and they haven't gotten to M? Cuz it's not under Specialty or any of the other categories.

mistyraider , May 19, 2015 11:39 AM NST However, when I type NC Kidnapping Caper into the search bar, it shows up.

lorratee , May 19, 2015 11:39 AM NST just type caper into the search box in the nc mall then

ian - JN Staff , May 19, 2015 11:41 AM NST ....They're right at the top of the Specialty menu.

lorratee , May 19, 2015 11:43 AM NST ....They're right at the top of the Specialty menu.

----

they are, not sure why you cant see them there misty

pikachu315111 , May 19, 2015 12:00 PM NST ... Those Case Files looked like they got right off of a free image site. *sigh* I mean, they couldn't even at least put someone on them? Heck, they're even slightly different sizes and positioned (and its a very lazy crop job as I can see the jagged lines). This is not making feel very confident about this year's AC prizes.

waning , May 19, 2015 12:28 PM NST They've now been activated! First clues our out. (:

waning , May 19, 2015 12:28 PM NST Suspects:

The faeries may know something, but they're all off betting on the races.

Where did they go? Try starting with a place for people to report suspicious sightings!

roses , May 19, 2015 12:35 PM NST Desk is meh. Glass is kinda pretty. Caplet is nothing special. Overall... can't decide if I want to splurge or not.

waning , May 19, 2015 12:39 PM NST None of the clues seem to bring about anything yet. I am hoping those prizes are a bit more exciting.

lorratee , May 19, 2015 1:08 PM NST out of the first three items i think the capelet has the most potential



they first three items make me think sherlock holmes though

Last prize:

I love this one.

purplebin , May 19, 2015 2:02 PM NST "The Scorchio Alchemist has disappeared! In one of his crazy experiments, he accidentally discovered a formula that created a special limited edition batch of Eventide-themed items."



So I'm going to guess that either the daily prizes or maybe the bonuses will be those Eventide items.

demi_ , May 19, 2015 2:08 PM NST Wow, the Case File images aren't even the same size and placement as each other.

cat , May 19, 2015 2:34 PM NST I don't mind the case files being a tad plain, after all ultimately their only purpose is to be sacrificed to get items. The prize items though I'm no too thrilled with so far.



I can afford to splurge on one of the packs, I think I'll wait another day or two to see what more of the prizes are like before deciding.

herdy - JN Staff , May 19, 2015 2:38 PM NST It's not just the case file images. The Tyrannia image shows the Lost Desert, and the Speciality and Future Fashions shopkeepers are spelt wrong in their images

yekith , May 19, 2015 3:17 PM NST My only thought is: well, that's pricey.

novelista , May 19, 2015 3:41 PM NST Am I the only one thinking, "Finally, something new...except broke people can't participate!"?

inkpot , May 19, 2015 4:03 PM NST



for once the desk actually seems to be of the right size for most pets...



honestly i kinda just like watching the poogle race background. fun

at first glance i didn't think any of the items were nice. but taking a closer look, both the bg's, the cape and oddly enough the desk are all pretty nice!for once the desk actually seems to be of the right size for most pets...honestly i kinda just like watching the poogle race background. fun

yekith , May 19, 2015 4:05 PM NST @novelista Yeah, exactly. Usually, there is a 150 or 200Nc option. If this is 700nc each, you need more than $5 worth of NC for just one case file, and that's all many of us can buy once in a while! And I like it when I can buy 2 or 3 things with 500nc.



Sure, it's something completely optional, but...meh. So pricey.

melinda_kacheek , May 19, 2015 4:55 PM NST Is it me or did the AC board vanish?

cat , May 19, 2015 4:56 PM NST You know, I had kind of wondered why the Tyrannian image had pyramids in it, lol. I plead allergies.



I actually agree on the poogles, just like with the fish in Gulp there's something mesmerizing about just watching them go around and around and around. The other BG isn't as mesmerizing but I think it might be more useful for my customization preferences.

purplebin , May 19, 2015 5:07 PM NST I was just looking for the AC board, too, and it wasn't there. But now it's back.

I was going to wait another day or two to decide whether or not to fully participate in this NC event, but the fact that it involves a missing Scorchio Alchemist, and my chemist dad has been gone for over a year now... Not that the items so far have been representative of that, or even of a mystery!

I guess it's nice to have a mix of things though.

morganjoisle , May 19, 2015 6:53 PM NST Were those files drawn in MS paint? They look like they were drawn in paint. And not by the normal artists.



@pikachu315111: Unless those were drawn back in Y1 to Y2, there is no way those should be anything done by anyone who was ever a neopets artist. I'll give them some slack if they were done by a programmer or that newswriter person, but ulgh, that is WORSE than stuff we could expect from artists taking the day off.

stormmonarch , May 19, 2015 7:15 PM NST The case files are beyond terrible. The items are bad. Even the posters are amateurish, which could be done in 5 mins.

gamer_5_55_555 , May 19, 2015 8:16 PM NST I was just thinking they should do another "artists day off" event. I guess we get something after all without having to throw money at them.

cloonshannagh , May 19, 2015 9:01 PM NST It seems like someone is trying to create a good product and please us, too. They won't always succeed. It takes time. So far I like most of the prizes. I love the Tunnel of Trees: gentle leaf movement, and just a hint/flicker of something; rather Spring and, to me, welcoming.It seems like someone is trying to create a good product and please us, too. They won't always succeed. It takes time.

mac , May 19, 2015 9:17 PM NST As others have noted, this seems... very hastily thrown together.

olcia1446 , May 19, 2015 10:15 PM NST The site is dying so they haven't commit any enourmous fixed, didnt come with any big idea but.. they had time to made a ONLY-NC event, really expensive one. This is sick and wrong on so many levels.

rodgerflint , May 20, 2015 12:41 AM NST rip in piece neo, this lag...

inkpot , May 20, 2015 1:06 AM NST i do agree that the poster and vanilla folders seem out of place on neopets. after getting a taste of how jumpstart art is what with their april fools joke, these peices just scream JS... which is terrible because their art is terrible... though thankfully the backgrounds have been churning out nicely~

pikachu315111 , May 20, 2015 1:50 AM NST I wouldn't say the site is dying, more like it has stagnated from JS not knowing what it want to do with Neopets. Something must have happened within JS, remember the layoffs was company wide so it wasn't just Neopets. Combine that with Neopets having lag problems at the time constricting content is when JS made their big mistake of laying off the content team. If they weren't sure were they were going at first they now made sure they're stuck wherever they stopped. I don't know how they'll do it but they somehow need to get at least some members of the content team back, if at least on contract or freelance.

cat , May 20, 2015 2:52 AM NST The envelopes definitely don't look as good as the Meepit Packs (which also looked like manilla envelopes). But as you say it's probably just some basic recolours of a basic manilla envelope image that a non-artist did to save money.



TNT actually did something similar to this event last year, probably so that they wouldn't lose out on the NC normally generated by DD. I don't really like the trend since the non-NCers need fun diversions too, but I can also see where they'd want to do that. It just sucks that it means we have not one but two big NC events in 2 months.

jusjus72 , May 20, 2015 4:59 AM NST All the wearable bg prizes are so nice.

lasimone1981 , May 20, 2015 9:16 AM NST Why does anyone really care how the files, themselves, look? I think the items that we have so far from them have been decent....at the end of the day, unless you are a collector of ticket packs and the like, it really doesn't matter. Even then.......

olcia1446 , May 20, 2015 10:17 AM NST There's nothing to do there. Too many of the things are broken. The site isn't dying? Online gone down 5x (or maybe more now - the counter is hidden now, guess why?There's nothing to do there. Too many of the things are broken.

pikachu315111 , May 20, 2015 10:44 AM NST @ olcia1446:

Decrease in user activity is indeed a huge problem, so in that way the site is dying. I was more referring to the release of new content, which has gone down to a snails pace. What things are broken?

terrie77 , May 20, 2015 6:05 PM NST

I used to love Neopets, but have lost interest in it, since the loss of key quest and habbie. Have moved on to Farmville 2 : Country Escape Im surprised there are still enough people on this site willing to spend real money here!I used to love Neopets, but have lost interest in it, since the loss of key quest and habbie. Have moved on to Farmville 2 : Country Escape

morganjoisle , May 21, 2015 7:21 AM NST @olcia1446: I don't think of it as so much dying anymore. More ... old age. Like the site's got a bit of time left, probably, but also going to continue going downhill. Aging, for a good comparison. It's not quite on life support, but more in a nursing home, I guess.



That's my take on it as a comparison. Dying, sort of, but more slowly. Not like a disease, just that something set it forward a bit on it's path. And the path is probably going to be the site closing/ending up dead. Not too soon, though. It's still got some time left.

purplebin , May 21, 2015 9:44 AM NST Maybe I bought all the files too quickly.

I'm puzzled by today's Moonlit Contacts.

Description: These contacts will make your eyes look like a full moon.



Maybe they mean through the wrong end of a telescope, or from far out in space?

They look neither like anything that is lit by the moon, or like a full moon themselves. Either would have been nice...

pikachu315111 , May 21, 2015 9:54 AM NST @ morganjoisle:

Yeah, maybe the site needs a bit of a revamp. I don't know how, but if it keeps going the way it is it'll keep losing players. If I were to try something, I'd try to focus on main parts of the site. So much time is spent on NC but the problem is NC really only appeals to those already on the site. They need to work on things that'll attract and keep new players. Finishing the Battledome and holding fighting tournaments (and likewise work on weapons, the training system, Faerie Abilities, etc.), start having events/plots that have puzzles or play games which don't take that much time to do (a lot of people like casual nowadays and story to justify what they're doing. The Altador Cup, as much as I love the concept, was not the way to go). Maybe even start having more user interactive things like competitive games or letting us spectate other player battles in the Battledome.



But sadly I think the time to do all these changes might have passed.

pikachu315111 , May 21, 2015 9:54 AM NST But sadly I think the time to do all these changes might have passed. JS fired the people who could have done that (they may have had to force them though) and are not struggling to keep the site afloat. Like making the site navigable on mobile devices is a good start and also branching out to mobile games, but those only work if they attract players to the site and the way the site is I don't think it'll keep players.

shad0wofadoubt , May 21, 2015 2:05 PM NST Anyone else having trouble loading Neo?

draakonikihv , May 21, 2015 2:06 PM NST won't load for me either

mistyraider , May 21, 2015 2:08 PM NST I tried the site "down for everyone" but it said it was just me. I'm not sure I trust those folks.

Good to know it isn't just me, but I did want to collect my item from the Kidnapping caper.

pikachu315111 , May 21, 2015 2:10 PM NST Down for me, and right now I'm spinning the the Wheel of Monotony...

purplebin , May 21, 2015 2:11 PM NST I wonder if it has anything to do with team signups tomorrow.

I hope someone got to check on the Turmaculus before it went down, I was doing yard work.

draakonikihv , May 21, 2015 2:13 PM NST oh no, prize shop!

minerra , May 21, 2015 2:20 PM NST Oh thank goodness. It wasn't just down for me. Well it's back up now. *knocks on wood*

almost_human , May 21, 2015 2:32 PM NST Where did I put that Lag-B-Gone Serum?

rosi , May 21, 2015 3:07 PM NST (and it has been like that for the past couple of hours). I wonder how on Earth they thought their servers would handle the whole Altador Cup strain if it's almost constant downtime during low season ...

Well, back to D.Art I go... This is not a matter of lag, it's their server being down(and it has been like that for the past couple of hours). I wonder how on Earth they thought their servers would handle the whole Altador Cup strain if it's almost constant downtime during low season ...Well, back to D.Art I go...

yekith , May 21, 2015 3:08 PM NST Down for me now...

yekith , May 21, 2015 3:09 PM NST Yeah, I don't think the site will be able to handle to AC. It'll be constantly either down, or so slow most scores won't send.

mistyraider , May 21, 2015 3:10 PM NST

and if the Lag-B-Gone Serum is in your safety deposit box, it's safe, just not accessible. down again...and if the Lag-B-Gone Serum is in your safety deposit box, it's safe, just not accessible.

yekith , May 21, 2015 3:12 PM NST the Down For Everyone site also tells me it's just me, so i'm thinking neopets' server isn't down, just VERY slow.

pikachu315111 , May 21, 2015 3:18 PM NST Hmm, this is pretty random, could JS be working on something? If not on Neopets but maybe their servers?

jmo7692 , May 21, 2015 3:24 PM NST Neo has been down for a while now and I have a game cooking ending in a few hours!

melinda_kacheek , May 21, 2015 3:28 PM NST This being close to the AC this is not a good sign!

escrainus , May 21, 2015 3:35 PM NST ... They never reopened the pasta AC prize shop, right?...

yekith , May 21, 2015 3:44 PM NST No, I don't think they did.

lucy_haha , May 21, 2015 3:49 PM NST



At least they admit about it. *Sigh* Hi TJNT, looks like we'd need a news update about the site went down and it's announced on their FACEBOOK. Nothing about it beforehand in the site.At least they admit about it. *Sigh*

wondervoll , May 21, 2015 3:59 PM NST I think they've been good about telling us when downtime would happen, so I am assuming this was unexpected for them as well. But it was nice they actually said something instead of the site being down and people wondering what is going on.

yekith , May 21, 2015 4:00 PM NST What the...? They need to stop assuming everybody uses FB. We shouldn't need to go off site to find out about important news. :/

yekith , May 21, 2015 4:04 PM NST Not sure it was unexpected for them if they're calling it maintenance. The site's been pretty slow for the past days (more or less depending on the moment), so they should have just announced a downtime to try to fix it.

lucy_haha , May 21, 2015 4:06 PM NST And just a side note, the Editorial states that we're still having Staff Tournament this year. :o

Unbelievable. 0.0

yekith , May 21, 2015 4:13 PM NST O____o That's just too weird.



Are they just gonna use the same "Staff" as last year too or...???

_avatar_tay_ , May 21, 2015 4:16 PM NST So the site is down. Makes sense. I thought it was phone service acting up.

lucy_haha , May 21, 2015 4:20 PM NST Droplet says there are going to be new faces so... *shrug*

wondervoll , May 21, 2015 4:33 PM NST Well I hope they have enough staff for there to be a tournament, haha. If so, I think it would be a good way to introduce new people.



And I'm wondering if they used the word "maintenance" because it sounds better. Either way, making use of other media networking sites makes sense. Even if they did announce downtime, if they only did so on the website, anyone who wasn't around beforehand would have no clue what was happening without the use of Facebook, Twitter, etc... Of all the things to complain about, this seems like a very shallow one.

yekith , May 21, 2015 4:52 PM NST It's not about not using FB or Twitter. It's about not announcing stuff ONLY there (IF this was maintenance, though either way it's happened with other announcements). And only -maybe (that's an opinion)- shallow if it was actually the only complaint, which clearly isn't. Minor one among many.

_avatar_tay_ , May 21, 2015 5:03 PM NST I hope the maintenance doesn't take too long. JS is doing the best they can even though they are slow. Slow and steady wins the race. But then again, I'm an optimist so who cares about what i think

atomis123 , May 21, 2015 7:55 PM NST I am just amazed that no one mentioned that FACT that that image is straight from the TCG its the prize code card...I'm kinda disappointed in this had my hopes up for alot a battle element this could have been an amazing event if executed properly...chasing down a suspect and getting answers in the battledome....wish they had more imagination

pikachu315111 , May 22, 2015 12:26 AM NST @ atomis123:

Hm, TNT often re-used stock art. The folders art is a problem since its bland, doesn't look anything like Neopets artwork (looks taken from Google images), and is a bad photoshop job as the edges are jaggy and not uniformed (their different sizes and positioned from one another). Heck, talking about re-using art they could have just re-used the file artwork from the Secret Meepit Stache:



http://images.neopets.com/items/mall_pyl_2pack.gif



Just get rid of the Meepit Leader's face and number stamp, recolor, add another logo for what the file represents, and done. It would look much better at least, cheap but at least still Neopets.

mistyraider , May 23, 2015 4:00 AM NST Is the glass bottom boat prize missing code or do they mean to have it obscure all the pets?



It's a cool image, but usually these kind of items are designed for pets to be inside. I think I'll send a ticket to see if it's fixable.

sakeru187 , May 23, 2015 6:17 AM NST Seriously?! I didn't know we could have gotten a different prize yesterday and now I have two of that ugly green dress. How annoying.

cloonshannagh , May 23, 2015 6:59 AM NST @misty I agreed with you, Then Liex (my Kiko) told me the boat pictured is the special party one that allows a snorkle dive and everyone is in the water for a moment. He says it is best used with the 15th Birthday Kiko Lake Background and Mallard Swimming Goggles *lol* so the underlake community is visible. http://wardrobe.jellyneo.net/app/?outfit=91744AAAAA3946

chachaboobie , May 23, 2015 7:32 AM NST The Glass Bottom Boat is obviously GLITCHED; Pets should show up sitting for standing inside the Boat. With virtually no Creative Staff around, especially those that probably created all these items for future release, who will step in and modify Zone of this item to correct the problem? I was considering buying the Suspects Folder, but I'm not sure. I don't have confidence that this item will get fixed in a timely manner.

chachaboobie , May 23, 2015 7:43 AM NST Also, based on past experience I think it's pretty obviouls that that this Kidnapping was intended to be a regular Mini Plot and not just reduced to being an NC Event. Since the Creative Staff was fired, IT Staff is spending all their time on coding new levels for the Ghoul Catchers APP as well as making it accessible to the various phone platforms, and almost nothing else. They are not even taking the time to fix the glitches the the mistakes they made on the AC Pre-Tournament Press pages. The only 2 issues that have been "fixed" in over two months since the Goofy APP was released are the return of our User Lookup Pages and getting to visit the Council Chamber if you finished the Altador Mini Plot. I don't see either of those issues as being a major fix to begin with.

mavegibson , May 23, 2015 8:38 AM NST Neo is going to die, I predict within the next year. Sad, but they clearly can't handle what they have, and everything is constantly glitched. 2 items here are so glitched as to be unusable, and I doubt they'll ever be fixed.

purplebin , May 23, 2015 10:10 AM NST The Boat is now zoned as Lower Foreground, when it should be Background Item so it's behind the pets. That's an easy fix but will probably have to wait until Tuesday.

And I'm sure plenty of people have already sent a ticket about getting the Jungle Green Gown on Friday, but I've sent one as well.

cat , May 24, 2015 2:17 PM NST @chachaboobie - Actually based on last year this was probably meant as a stand-alone NC event. It seems like these semi-story based NC scavenger hunts have replaced what would normally be the NC component of the Daily Dare as TNT's big May windfall. After all, just because TNT scraps a major event because it's become too much trouble to keep up doesn't mean they want to scrap the NC component, they'll just replace it with a stand alone NC ticket pack. The same thing would happen to the Altador Cup's NC component if TNT ever decided to scrap the cup: either they'd replace the cup with another annual event and give that a similar NC component or they'd get rid of it entirely but have a random NC event at about the same time of year.

flyteofheart , May 24, 2015 6:44 PM NST These are the worst NC items I have ever seen. The backgrounds are neat but thats about it. The dresses/skirts/wig/everything else is so bad its honestly making me mad I paid for this. They can't charge people 20$ for like this. They must have the intern drawing in MS paint lately.

moonlightwitch , May 25, 2015 12:20 AM NST at the bank today 1 clue

wondervoll , May 25, 2015 4:12 AM NST Can we still get the Eventide GBC if we activate/complete all 3 files now? Or did you have to do this within the first 3 days? Wondering if I should get a few on my side accounts...

mistyraider , May 25, 2015 10:05 AM NST The glass bottom boat is now a background item and one's pets sit inside. I'm glad, but @cloonshannagh, I did like your pet snorkling outside it!

cat , May 25, 2015 3:31 PM NST @flyteofheart - yeah, I agree on the clothing, it's all rather basic and it's pretty clear that someone who's a lot less experienced with their art program is making it. Even the backgrounds and foregrounds feel like they have less skill put into them in terms of depth and shading effects.

cat , May 25, 2015 3:32 PM NST @wondervoll - I'm pretty sure we would, it's the prize for completing all three case files, not the prize for redeeming them early.

peanutbutter_n_jelly , May 26, 2015 4:58 AM NST I did not get one of the case solved prizes and so did not get the Eventide GBC. Anyone else have that problem??



Guess I need to send in a ticket.

katina_choovanski , May 26, 2015 8:13 AM NST I agree with whoever said that the BG's were the only cool thing about the event. The glass bottom boat is a good IDEA, but when you put it with a BG it then becomes something that is supposedly moving but the background is still. Makes no sense. I also had the glitch that kept the Suspects folder from awarding the bonus item for that folder. Other than that, I wasn't too disappointed.

peanutbutter_n_jelly , May 26, 2015 9:49 AM NST Glad to know I was not the only one with a glitch on the suspects folder.
