2 Years Celebration – New Event!

Day 3 value target- WMTs!!! with nerfed TFs,!!!

This should be fun. <\sarcasmfont>

It looks like each WMT is worth 80 or 90 points, although it’s possible I’m overcounting because that probably includes nearby objects destroyed by the WMT’s explosion.

Anyone notice that the bundle has changed from Drift to Ricochet. I have Ricochet and his accessories so the bundle for me is 5000 tokens (his cost in this challenge), 150 gems and instead of his accessory 25000 of those very valuable coins. Haven’t spent any money on the game but the tokens are tempting. May just wait until they offer another character I don’t have.

“Maybe the new strategy is to make the game so frustrating that you’re willing to spend a ton of money to avoid playing? Beats me.”

“New” strategy? I’m pretty sure that’s what they’ve been up to all along.

“I feel like Rovio/Exient has completely misjudged the value of their characters. In no universe is a character in this game (I don’t care how many gems you couple it with) worth $29.99. Why in the world are these things, and gems for that matter, so expensive in terms of actual dollars?”

I’m sure they’ve done the market research and the math and determined that just enough people would be willing to shell out at a certain price point to make it profitable. According to this article: http://www.businessofapps.com/60-of-of-free-to-play-gaming-revenue-comes-from-just-0-23-of-players/ 60% of free-to-play gaming revenue comes from just 0.23% of players.

@soundwave I feel bad for your son though. He has to like fish out a couple of bucks to get Drift just because he finds the competition to frustrating. I do see you have a point there as well.

I never pay anything at all in any games I play (because I don’t have my own credit card :p) but I’ll definitely pay for something if it is worth it. I don’t even understand why they wanted to nerf the Transformers to a point they’re sort of useless, even being levelled up and/or wearing expensive yet useless accessories. I don’t mind if they wanted to make the enemies stronger without nerfing the Transformers. Now, Transformers are nerfed and enemies are stronger, it feels like you’re playing Dark Souls.

@optimuspig I did two recharges during the max bonus using a combo of drift (to stun the WMTs) and ricochet (kill shot) In the 12 rounds total, I think I missed 3 WMTs total.

Those of you using Ricochet, what level do you have? I haven’t gotten mine fully upgraded yet.

Does anybody have an impression that levels are automatically adjusted to avoid daily challenges? When the challenge is to visit Beach/Cobalt Valley/Desert/whatever, transformers will land everywhere but those areas. Today I had two challenges, evade a falling Monolith and blast a WMT with EMP (granted, the latter would be easy to make in event missions, but I chose to use a bonus EI instead). I had to hunt dozens of regular missions before I ever met one of each. In any other day, they’d be in abundance.

Same here, I have to close the game after every run or the ad crashes it. Been that way for quite awhile now and has cost me first place many of times when battling it out at the end of the competition.

I crashed once yesterday in the middle of an event,today I died during an event and instead of my buddy coming out to continue, I just laid there. Had to close out the game and lose everything. Not the first time it happen either. So many bugs in this game, and they don’t bother to fix them.

I clicked on the Ricochet bundle to have a look at it and it immediately crashed. That’s fine with me Rovio/Exient, if you don’t want me to look at that, I won’t even think about it. That’s the first time a bug did me a favor.
