New character for sale!

[Josm]

Be aware guys! In less than 4 hours, the new bumblebee character (Hot Rod) is for sale in the black friday offers in abt!

Yup, looks like it. I guess this answers the question of where Hot Rod is coming from.

[bigorange]

I guess if it’s for sale it will be for cash…
This way more and more people who are around level 435/450 will give up this game if money will be the only way to get new characters. This would be the 2th in a row.

[Josm]

Oh yes i agree with @bigorange i truly hope this will be for gems. If not, players will not reach that rank ever again that people who bought it have.. i also hope nemesis will be in the game available in an other way sometime. For gems/gold or so

[kwc]

Not spending one cent for new characters. A reasonable amount of gems, maybe coins or pigs (basically useless otherwise), not giving Rovio real money for this glitchy buggy game.

[Josm]

Its for money… not as much as last time though

[Drover’s Dog]

In Australia Rodimus is available for $6.07 and includes 25000 coins and 100 gems.

[Optimus_Pig]

Interesting. In Canada, it’s $4.59 for the same package.

According to oanda.com, the current AUD/CAD fx rate is 1.03950.

[Optimus_Pig]

25,000 coins, what a laugh. One good node run video doubled will get you that.

[Josm]

Indeed, Rovio is getting stupid. This isnt marketing. More people will quit the game than people who will buy this -_-

[Drover’s Dog]

just another case of the people downunder being taken for a ride.

[Optimus_Pig]

I’m curious what the USD price is.

[ph]

$3.99 in the US. Strange considering 100 gems is 4.99. So for a dollar less you get the gems + character + coins. Still not buying.

*sigh*

A certain Cee Lo Green song comes to mind in my thoughts about Rovio.

[ph]

@starscream Okay this old lady will bite, what’s the name of the song?

[Optimus_Pig]

@ph

Cee Lo has a song called [Foxtrot Yankee].

[ph]

@optimuspig @starscream
Okay, I can agree with that since Rovio has been singing it to us for that last 2-3 updates.

[Optimus_Pig]

LOL. Yeah, except that I cheat (Google is king).

[Mp127]

They can’t give characters w/out gems, or simply by gems? It’s a bit worthless.

[bigorange]

Europe, €3.99

[Nehuen]

Argentina: 40,98 Ar$!

Look. I really don’t understand where all the hate comes from.

Rovio is a company that wants to make… wait for it… money.

I play this game. A lot. I like it. I don’t have a problem spending a few bucks for a new facet to the game.

Looks like I’m in the minority though.

[sheepybach]

Where are the new guys hanging out as I can’t find them anywhere in my game Ver.1.8.14.1

@vegabomb I don’t think it is hate so much as frustration. After losing hundreds of gem, hundreds of thousands of coins, who know how many pig and materials from missions, I am frustrated that Rovio doesn’t fix the bugs but instead expects players make purchases that could vanish at any time. During the whole time the
“updating progress” bug has been happening, Rovio’s attitude has been tough luck we will get to it eventually. Plus, now coins and gems are starting to be worthless. Instead of having to purchase the characters, making the accessories actually do something to upgrade the TF would have been the smart thing to do. Players might pay for them.

[newbie15]

ABTF is the only game I play, so I wanted to ask more experienced folks who might have seen this scenario before: does it seem likely that cash will be the only way to acquire Nemesis Prime and Rodimus, or is it possible that they will later be available through other means (e.g., missions)?

Thanks!

[Redimus Prime]

Well I think I’m also part of the minority? I’m also enjoying playing this game..
