Chinese new year event

Haven’t seen Unicron or boss pig in over a day

[Optimus_Pig]

I feel like Rovio screwed up again with the daily target. My first four runs today, I’ve just been getting swarmed by WMTs. It’s been a long time since I’ve come anywhere close to dying.

@joeyba answer is NO – x3 only multiplies your coins. This does not multiply the tokens.

Yeah, got the 67 beach run too. And the only Unicron run I had in three days coincided with the unresponsiveness bug (looks like happening more often lately).

The rocket day was the only “rich” day during this challenge. With all other targets, I get average 300 points pre-bonus score. I remember somebody mentioning that missions become poorer if you keep using the same high-bonus TFs, so I try to shuffle between several primary sweepers (all of them with 5% or 10% bonus) with 100% E.Grimlock as a bonus mule and backup plan for Unicron/Boss appearance, as sweepers suck against them. This tactic used to succeed during previous challenges with 2 TF runs (and 1 TF challenges were mostly spark-only to me, so no matter if it doesn’t apply), but this time it apparently no longer works. I wonder how all those people above me get their high scores. Bonuses may be good, but what’s the point, if basic harvest is thin?

@phillips Energon Grimlock’s speed has not been a problem for me when dealing with Unicron Pig. The problem that I have been having is that, lately when facing Unicron Pig, I keep getting inundated with obstacles, usually falling monoliths, so that I can’t keep up my attack against him, and my prefered Energonicon doesn’t at him when his shield is down. Now, it probably would be better for me if I used Shieldor instead of Photoblast, but I’m trying to deal as much damage to stuctures, in additon to my assault on Uncron Pig, as I as possibly can.

This mornings fully charged event run of 4 all defaulted to the beach and after it was over my total was 31 as they lasted less than 10secs.
Waste of time asking but can you please fix this NOW

[Phillips]

@jimmy-necessary the obstacles are why his speed is the problem. As I mentioned I can only just defeat Unicron with Energon Grimlock if it is clear run (no falling monoliths) or am willing to take a hit. With Greyslam Grimlock even if there are obstacles because he is slower you can transform to pass them and still have time to beat Unicron pig.

[Asen_77]

I can say – first crash for me on this event. Lost one chance of playing. No Unicorn and Boss Pig till now. Yesterday and today verry bad on points event …

[Drover’s Dog]

Had the beach run with 51 points this morning which followed closely on the 67 point beach run. I knew there was a problem as Astrotrain was landing just milliseconds after takeoff!!!

[ED209]

I have had the same issue, three runs with a max of 73 points, unicron level over before I could even do any damage. Loosing out on so many points

[Optimus_Pig]

I got 76 points on that beach run as well.

I can’t recall the last time that I finished a run without killing a single pig.

[Optimus_Pig]

I saw Unicron once on Day 3, haven’t seen him so far on Day 4.

No Boss Pig on either day.

[datguygamer]

Got Unicron but the beach node was so short that Astrotrain arrived after Unicron was down to half health. Still got 940 points though.

[Swing]

Well it was bound to happen, Rovio/Exient are back at it. Yesterday and today I’ve had FIVE super short runs (122 points the highest and 57 the lowest) and have not seen boss pig or unicron. This game is a joke, no matter what we do, how much we upgrade or promote characters or how many accessories we purchase, in the end Rovio/Exient is going to screw us. This will be my last challenge, F#%* this game and Rovio/Exient.

In other CNY Event news…

Good – Cobalt Valley yielded 1200+ pre-bonus points.
Bad – with just over 7 hours left on Fan Day, have had only 1 CV node.

[sheepybach]

Just finished a event 4 run :—
Run 1 BBG appeared and he never fired before run over
Runs 2 3 4 Got off train and drove straight back onto the leaving train.
SMH grand total score of ZERO

[Joel]

I just got a beach run that didn’t end right away. I ended up with 511 points before the bonus was applied. Maybe they are trying to fix it?

[SnTrooper]

Ran into Unicron. The entire run was lined with monoliths (so even when they weren’t falling they were getting in the way of my shots) with a constant stream of WMTs behind them. Couldn’t beat him even though I was using Grey Slam Grimlock.

This event is pretty neat!What do the noble hats go on though?

[Asen_77]

Hey Rovio. This is GAME! It’s suppose to be fun! 12 runs and under 10k points total – stop f***ing with us. 73 points, 215 points or 342 points before bonus. How to reach first place with 43k+ Points? No Unicorn or BossPig, and even If I have, when I read that appears in level with all folling mortars it’s useless … Soon everyone will STOP playing ABT and other AB.

Well, I successfully unlocked Smokescreen, and this event is only at the half way point. There is clearly something wrong with the game (at least with this event specifically) if players are feeling too discouraged to keep playing because they’re continually encountering extremely lame runs with the event node (I’ve had a few lame runs myself). Take this last challenge, I got first place (for the second day in a row, which is rare for me) and blew my competition away with 6,000 ahead in the lead, and for the last remaining 30 minutes of the previous challenge, my competition did nothing to try to catch up and beat me. What’s wrong with this picture? I usually have to fight tooth and nail just to at least make to 3rd place.

[jasebree]

For what it’s worth, here is the Who’s Who of hats

[datguygamer]

Another Unicron encounter but the same shtick again. All monoiths and Walking Mortar Towers lined up. Is it just me or is Rovio making killing Unicron harder since it gives the most points?

[ED209]

Still getting short runs today, was not a issue till yesterday’s event and getting glow score before of the very short runs.

@jasebree

interesting: clear pattern price of 50 per transformer helped

also – if you purchased any from previous year’s event it’s discounted by how many you have – for example my landlord cap is priced at 600 instead of 700 cuz I already have it for 2 characters…
