The pet arena seems ready to go. I'll likely be releasing it tomorrow afternoon sometime.
A couple notes to diminish expectations ahead of time...
-You need to have your 2nd pet in order to access the Pet Arena!
-The pet arena is extremely difficult early on. You will not get far until you upgrade your pets damage further.
-Your progress in the pet arena resets every day at midnight. This allows you to start back at the beginning challenge and re-earn everything
-You only receive 10x the PP [Pet Points], and bonus food for the first time (ever) defeating each opponent. This is not reset each day, this is overall....however I think you'll still feel great accomplishing each monster for the first time.
Now to hype expectations:
-Pet base damage is going to be Quadroupled!
-The insanely difficult to achieve cap per pet in damage alone can currently increase damage by 4000x (20% per upgrade currently). This may get a rebalance later.
-There is new capability for Pet Criticals!
-There is new capability for Pet Double Attacks!
-There's a new one time Pet Pack (similar to the existing food pack, but contains PetPoints and is higher in price)
-If pets suck in mid/late inferno, i'll ensure that they don't. Pets are going to make a comeback and I want them being a significant part of a player's power.
Thank you for being so patient with this delayed patch. I'm beginning to underestimate the complexity of this game and all the side components that have to be taken into account before giving estimated release dates.
Cheers
Edit:
The Event will also be coming down for this patch. Get the angry out of your system while you can.
