1. The point of the game is to unlock robots and then play a node with them. If you are not caring for the bots then what are you playing the game for? That’s why I said you’ll be missing a lot if you stay in your bubble. You’ll be playing the same node with the same bots over and over.
2. Regarding rewards, this is not the case with Transformers is because eventually you do get your reward in Epic but in ABT, tokens were the currency when it was not an option to buy with gems and I missed out on 2 accessories for EOP since I bought the accessories first. That’s what missing out is. I missed out and a lot of people on the ABT forums also missed out because of their high cost. In Epic that doesn’t happen. If you play -> you’ll get your main prize.
3. The basic implementation of the events in Epic are the enemies and they are changing. They always have new abilities and visually they are re-skins but ability wise they are not. In ABT, they finally introduced a new type of boss (Unicron) what did they do with that? A pig with copter blades shooting insta-kill missiles. This is not variety as all pigs in ABT shoot something. The map in Epic may always look the same but at least they change around the graphics in mini-campaigns. ABT just makes you play a normal level instead as they have no such thing. ABT has only 1 type of event format while Epic has 3. That’s variety right there.
4. The reason you don’t feel the injustice in ABT as much is simple. It’s because you don’t care about the main thing and just play casually which you don’t do for Epic. Let’s give an example, a guy who wants to get all 3 stars in AB 2 in all levels will feel how some levels are rigged to force you in using spells while a guy who just wants to complete levels and don’t care about stars won’t. However, not taking unlocking bots seriously in ABT is like playing Epic with the same class over and over again. It becomes mundane than what the game is already is. I played both games very seriously and I can assure you, the event system is worse than Epic.
Yes, you have to purchase classes with gold coins but you can get them eventually like of us did. I am counting myself out since I exploited a glitch but what about others? Most people have collected free LCs to buy classes while in ABT bots require either real money or tokens and it’s only been a few updates that noe you can buy tokens with gems. ABT has direct purchases with buying bots while Epic doesn’t.
5. The case is that what you’re talking about only nowadays. Back when we still had 3 stamina battles, we had more chances to play. In ABT you are stuck with 4 bars and each battle takes 1 bar. There is no way around it. Before you had the option of playing the lesser stamina ones. It’s not a matter of waiting for how long but rather how many times can you play before you have to stop and there’s one more thing than beats ABT. Refilling requires gems while in Epic you can do that for free by crafting drinks out of essences. No matter which way you look at it, Epic has the most advantages.
I am talking from a neutral standpoint and ofc I will have some expectations. When you hear that someone is making a game on Transformers, ofc you’ll have at least some expectation if you’re a fan of the franchise to begin with. That’s what I had and when the game failed to deliver that to me, it didn’t cloud my judgement. It actually cleared the sky to see me better as to what is going on here. The game is simple but fun BUT the event system is not good at all.
