BYM Update 2012-12-12 MR3 Bug Fixes

The New World Map gets bug fixes. Unfortunately, this didn't fix everything. Relocation is still disabled which is a vital part of the map that needs to get fixed asap. The complete list below.

Hell-Raisers - What To Expect [Rumors]

It's been a while since we had an event and a while since I last posted on the blog but I think this is the time to resume posting. We've got interesting news for you on Hell-Raisers. What we clearly know about this event is that it is an Inferno event. This event has been the topic of the forums for months so lets go in into details.

Empire Points Of MR3 Outposts

It's been a while since I last posted since I'm getting busy in real life. I'm here to post the empire point equivalents of the new outposts. Credits to Mohammed Nayer which is a forumer in the BYM Forum and a member of the BYM Group. So here it goes.

BYM Update 2012-11-07 The New World Map!

The update the we all have been waiting for has finally arrived. The biggest update to BYM is finally here. Behold the new World Map! With massive changes such as bunker/housing system, monsters healing, flinger capacity, more housing capacity and a hell lot more. 

The KoK Ring

Okay, I think it's about time we talk about KoK rings in Backyard monsters. And that is by capturing all his/her outposts around him/her.

MR3 Preview - Housings And Bunkers

Let's Get Started
I've been itching to talk about housings and bunkers for a while now. Probably because of how the change is somewhat misleading. I was hoping they would change it but I guess it will be staying. In the MR3 update, we will now be able to upgrade our housings to level 10 that means our total housing storage now is 4,000 (assuming you already have level 10 housings). You may be asking why it's misleading. 

MR3 Preview - The Wild Monsters!, Part 2

Level 50, Kozu Tribe Yard

This is the continuation of the "MR3 Preview - An Inside Look" post. If you didn't read the first post then I recommend to read it before reading this. Today, we will be featuring wild monsters and there new roles in the new World Map. In MR3, we basically have the same 4 types of wild monsters. Kozu, Abunakki, Deadnaught and the Legionaire tribe.

MR3 Preview - The Secrets Are In The Codes

Yes, the codes are telling us a lot. I don't know if you noticed it or not. I'm talking about the access codes for BYM Preview. We got a tip from BV live. The access codes that KIXEYE were releasing contained more than just a password for BYM Preview but contained some information. 

MR3 Preview - An Inside Look, Part 1

It has been a while since I last posted. I'm just taking a short break from playing the MR3 preview. So I'm gonna make this as meaty as possible. For starters the preview contains lots of beta changes that KIXEYE is making. They're not set in stone. So don't expect everything I say here will be in the live game when MR3 is released.

The Best Way To Destroy An Ultrakit [Video]

Introduction
a_c_lem shows us how to destroy the Ultrakit efficiently. I can definitely tell this is the best way to destroy an Ultrakit. TKS and a lot of jumping alliances use this to destroy an Ultrakit with minimum costs. More Information Below

MR3 Preview Server Confirmed - Complete Information

Today, V2 just announced the MR3 Preview Server will be live SOON.

The Access Codes
You will need an access code to enter the server like a password. Access codes will have a limit on how many people will be able to use it. They will be released by rounds so if you don't get to join the server with the last code from the thread then just wait for a new one. 

The Perfect Base - The NEPOH

Original NEPOH Design by Antoine. Click to Enlarge.

Ah yes, This was the holy grail on why people started making yards from the beginning, The Perfect Yard. The perfect yard doesn't exist anymore. It did exist though. One of the most closely guarded secret of that time was the NEPOH or the Never Ending Path Of Hell.

The Outpost Defender

Yeserday, the BYM Informant released a new picture. It hardly surprised me but it came with some information from V2 in the forums. A quote from The BYM Informant.

My latest discovery on the New World Map is the Outpost Defender. Strongholds, Main Yards and Resource Outposts will need to be defended by surrounding them with a ring of these. SHARE this if you want to know more.

Updated Map Room 3 - All Changes With Details

Click to Enlarge

So I summed all the possible changes for MR3 yesterday. But just today, V2 released new information from a thread which posted the last post I made. And for the sake of spreading correct information. I'll be summing up everything again, including the new information. Here's a pic on David's response a few days ago when I asked him about MR3.

Map Room 3 - All Changes With Details!

Alas! Map Room 3 has been in development for a long time now. A lot of people are asking what are the changes for MR3. I made a post a long time ago but I guess they want an updated one with all the changes.

The Resource Outpost

"Stealing this picture from Backyard Headquarters required some very resourceful planning. Can you guess what this new Building's main function will be? Hint: available on special Outposts, only the Loot-O-Tron will be able to attack it."

-The Backyard Informant

I've been waiting for this building for a long time now. Ever since MR3 was announce, we knew that not all outposts will not be able to generate resources. Only special kinds of outposts are allowed to produce resources.

Latest MR3 Image Analysis - It All Makes A Little More Sense Now

Remember when we first saw an image of MR3? If you don't then read this.  As I saw the latest map image, it had some new things but some changes stood up.
Here's the pic via The Backyard Informant:

The Stronghold

"This new Building will only be available on the Backyard Monsters New World Map. Its been code-named the Stronghold Building, conquer an Outpost with one of these and you'll have a defensive and offensive bonus in your Main Yard and Outposts."

-The Backyard Informant

A new building to brighten things up. This building will only be available in MR3 which will basically is extra defense for your other outposts and main yard. This building was first posted by David Scott with a video. I suggest you read our first post about it which contains this thing in action [video].

The Backyard Informant

"Releasing top secret information on the Backyard Monsters New World Map."

As MR3 news has been very hard to get. KIXEYE made a character that could change everything. He is the Backyard Informant, a fictional character that was created in KIXEYE to give BYM players glimpses in the production process in KIXEYE HQ and more importantly the making of MR3. 


We suspect Dave is behind all this. This is just genius. The Backyard Informant already posted 2 images of the new world map to date.

BYM Update 2012-09-21 Outpost Limit

It's been almost 2 months since the game received some decent update. This is because the developers, KIXEYE is committing everything on creating the new world map which is Map Room Level 3 a.k.a. MR3. But today, V2 posted a thread on an update to the game. Which basically limits a single player from expanding more.

Yard Concept - Anti Zafreeti Smiley Face (AZSF) Explained

The pic that made the name.

On this post we will be tackling about one important yard concept. This concept is bit harder to explain so that's why I pick this one to explain. The Anti-Zafreeti Smiley Face was invented and first used by my friend Jonty Simson. It's normally called AZSF and is more used than ever before today. I also made this for the people who always ask me about things like this. So here we go.

Baiter And Pathing Guide By Cryptic [Video]

Note: Before we start, Thor's Mjölnir (Official Thread) has been created by ChristiaaaaaanxD from the forums. 

Chaos Weapons - What And How

Chaos Weapons, One of the things that the arrival of inferno gave us. It gives attacks added kicks for an expensive price. This is a guide about Chaos Weapons obviously so lets get started shall we? 

Chaos Weapons can be researched and upgraded through the Chaos lab. While the Chaos Factory's job is to create them. Chaos weapons can only be used on Main Yards. You can only hold, produce and use one of these weapons at a time.

BM Preview - Its Past And Future Roles

BM Preview, The thing that made the first world map good enough for players versus other features that KIXEYE released. So what is BM Preview? Well, BYM Preview was supposedly a Test Server of BYM where Casual Collective (KIXEYE's Old Name) tested the upcoming worldmap V1 at that time (which is the level 2 map room).

One-Of-A-Kind Korath Model - What Does This All Mean? [Speculation]

Korath Model

I can't help but make a post about this. It's no other than a 3d Model of the mighty inferno champion Korath. It is hand finished. War Commander which is another KIXEYE game has also a RUBI Model which has been posted in the forums. But no further announcements about the Korath Model though. But base on what we already know. We will try to speculate or make calculated guesses on what all of this means.

What Makes Looting Monsters So Special And How They Do It

I have been a Backyard Monsters player for quite a long time now. And I have been a forumer in the BYM forumers for a long time too. I came across a fact about brains and bolts a long time ago from Dave himself on a post. The thing is about Bolts and Brains (looting monsters in general). They're quite expensive monsters for something that only gives you a moderate advantage in gameplay (targets resource first). The thing about them is they loot 20% more than other monsters.

Korath Troubleshooting - Where Is Korath? Korath's Abilities Disappeared?

This post are for all Korath owners having trouble with the Inferno Champion. If you already have Korath from the first event and its abilities disappeared we have the fixed for that. If you have other problems with Korath then this is the place to be in.

A More Comprehensive Guide For Getting Korath

Due to increased demand for another guide with more details. I am creating this guide just for the people who asked me for this. This guide will teach you roughly how many outposts do you need to conquer or how much resources you are probably going to waste. 

Upcoming World Map Changes Part 3 - Latest News About MR3

It has been a while since I posted about this particular topic but I think it's time to post about it again since many people have a lot of miss conceptions about MR3. There are plenty of things that KIXEYE changed in their plans for MR3 since we last post about this. Like MR3 is not mandatory anymore and players will still have the option to stay at MR2.

Tips On How to Get Korath Faster

As promised, Im now releasing some tips on how you should approach the Monster Madness or the Korath event when it starts again this August. Roar! Korath the Inferno Champion a.k.a. Moloch's pet is on a rampage in the World Map in the search for putty. Before you read this. I highly recommend to read this post first.

Monster Madness 2 - Korath Returns

Many has changed in the BYM universe. One of those changes are the take-over costs and the arrival of the looting champion, Krallen. But someone has decided to return and that is Korath the Inferno Champion. Moloch's champion is back full of hunger for putty and going wild in the Backyard Monsters World map.

Jumping, What's the Status? - Bioncleboy101

Here's a special post for you guys by our blog writer, Bionicleboy101(long game veteran) about Jumping. 
 

Lets Get Started

Jumping is an area of the game that many players who, for example, never interact with alliances and who don’t go build massive empires over everyone else - they never get to hear about jumpers, in fact they probably don’t know nothin’. Don’t feel bad if you’re among this crowd, its ok; give yourself a pat on the back. Jumping has a long history and is responsible for many little hidden rules in the game.

Damage Protection - In A Nutshell

How many times should Damage Protection rules be written? Tell you what. It's one of the fundamentals of the game and surprisingly enough is that it's not even in the game. So we need to educate everyone about this. I still have an in-depth guide about Damage Protection in the forums but it's pretty bland and full of words and not all people like wall of texts. So here are the basic rules of Damage Protection in a Nutshell.
