Ride of the Valkyries Event

@paul13

Actually, Snipernaut can shoot down missiles.

[Geli]

Has Unicron in a River run. Luckily I has GS Grimlock. Survived but did not knock it out. Still had a decent raw score plums a 75% bonus.

My Unicron did have a shield at times and was obscured by some of the River cliffs and structures.

F**K ROVIO

Gem recharge.

3rd run: Unicron in Cobalt Valley – WMTs and Monoliths dropping all over the place and cliffs blocking your weapons

4th run: Boss Pig – Valkyries useless. Death by missile. 95 points.

F**K ROVIO

@raizir use your strongest(highest level) TF, hopefully a Grimlock, as one of your squad. You will get a partial bonus with the Grimlock providing the offensive punch. Consider using the Healthbot energonicon, it will restore health to yor TF. Best of luck.

[Geli]

I Feel yor pain, @optimuspig River run no fun.

[Optimus_Pig]

And just to add insult to injury, my failed Boss Pig run left me 66 points behind the leader, and I don’t have enough time left to risk another recharge,

[Raizir]

@geli

Only problem,

I dont have Ratchet, Acidstorm, Normal Starscream, Windblade, Anybody from the hot rods, iconic TRANSFORMER, or the cybertonians squads.

Well I’ve tried Snipernuat half a dozen times and it has not shot a missile down for me even with nothing else in view to hit and it just sat with it’s thumb up it’s axx. Another time it ignored the missiles but was firing at something in front that I could not see and gave no score.
This is 1 clusterxxxx of an event that is no fun to play and How Rovio can say it is done for a better alignment of E/Cons and Bots is beyond me.
If you are not watching even the targeting of most Bots are way off, you aim at something and most of the time it fires an 1″ either side of what you targeted

[Soundwave]

From @lewie4 ‘s comments, it sounded like the programmers implemented a new underlying structure for configuring how targets are prioritized in the game.

If that assumption is correct, it will hopefully just take a little time to work the bugs out. It sounded like a fundamental change to how that logic was programmed.

But if the goal is indeed to make the energon icons less useful, that stinks.

Better testing and qa for this game would be awesome.

I also don’t fully understand the purpose of the auto fire feature.

[The Dark Knight]

auto fire feature is total waste in the game like that the events don’t have it thank god for this same must be done to the normal nodes auto fire feature is waste of an algorithm and screen space! Not to mention it doesn’t work!

[Raizir]

@paul13

Huh, it shot down a missile for me.

[sheepybach]

It is big guy 0 me 4. It is big big guy 11 me 0. I had him this morning with E/OPrime that has the hat with no stop fire and I would for around 75% of the run he had no shield and I just fired at his nose no stop (forest) but his health nearly moved down and he got me in the end and the other bot popped out followed by the shuttle. Complete waste of time and boy am I glad that I only need 200 tokens to get what I want for add-on’s.
I’ve seemed to have been lucky with the daily task as a lot have been tokens. I got 3 task to go for another 50 tokens.

[MillForce2k]

Something interesting. Using Optimus Prime/Heatwave/Shieldor and activated Shieldor with OP. WMT showed up, so I switched to HW. When I went back to OP, Shieldor was still active and finished like it’s timer stopped.

p.s., got my 1500 for Daniel and Sword for Arcee, so I’m done. Need to focus on upgrades.

[The Dark Knight]

this version is far the most faulty version ever!

“Something interesting. Using Optimus Prime/Heatwave/Shieldor and activated Shieldor with OP. WMT showed up, so I switched to HW. When I went back to OP, Shieldor was still active and finished like it’s timer stopped.”

I’ve noticed that an energonicon’s effects are specific to the TF that was onscreen at the time the e-con was activated. So it would appear that when you activate an energonicon and then call in your buddy it temporarily halts the timer on the previous TF’s energonicon, and then when you bring it back it starts the timer again.

[Optimus_Pig]

Hour 23 and Valkyries is back as the bonus squad as expected. Except that the bonus is only +5% per Valkyrie deployed. Looks like a good time to skip them entirely and just go with Grimlock and Soundwave.

[Francis Crawford]

I got Boss Pig twice while it Was Energon Starscream’s turn at bat. Ugh.

[Pampeans]

I’m out, thank God — good luck to everyone!

[Optimus_Pig]

+1

Same

[Deszaras]

This event has been frustrated since the Energonicons are nerfed. I’m glad I’m only in it for the accessories and any recharges I’ve used has been replenished by daily quests or missions. I’ve got the acid rounds for Black Arachnia, Daniel for Arces and Sentinel for Shockwave(already had the wings.) I only want the acid rounds for Shockwave. Anything else is just bonus but I’m indifferent forwards them. Using one of the bonus squad coupled with Soundwave is great. He gets all the blocks.

[sheepybach]

I’m out as well good luck all iechyd da

[The Dark Knight]

I only played 1st day 1-2 nodes :S not participating in the even i was just testing the game i have had the those accessories.

[Deszaras]

@elpapam Do you have the +fire rate for Black Arachnia? If so, would you get prefer that over acid rounds for shockwave? I think Black Arachnia has a good fire rate as is.

[The Dark Knight]

@deszaras hm i have both accessories but i would prefer to go with Sockwave’s accessory the 10+ gives a minor strength at the energy balls but i can’t fill the difference at the black Arachnia i like her effect with the handlebar accessory, the effect that gives here acid rounds looks nice!

[Deszaras]

@elpapam I should be able to get both by the end of the event. The Acid rounds on Black Arachnia are nice. I already have everything for Shockwave except the acid rounds. I might get the fire rate increase just cause it takes more tokens. Getting Shockwave’s acid rounds wont be hard after that. I don’t care about the sword for Arcee. Thanks for the input. I’m done with this event after those last two. I’m glad I just wanted accessories with this nerf. Unless they fix it, I may skip the next bot.
