Seek And Destroy! – New Event!

[The Dark Knight]

Another new-oldish plus excitement and yet borring event is upon us… “The Seekers” is the leading squad. ONE bot and NO ener/con.

Good luck people and have fun.

Ick. It’s one of those horrible events that have blocks that decrease your score.

[seaspray]

1st run.  93 base pts.  Destroyed everything but 1 WMT

[zeppled]

It would have been nice if Rovio would tell you which block subtracts instead of finding out on your own.  Not sure why they would care. I’ll get my spark and I’m out. It will be a welcome break.

@sntrooper

Can you explain that before I make run 2 please

[zeppled]

I believe it is the black blocks that subtract from your score when you hit them.  You need to try to avoid the black blocks.

[SnTrooper]

@seaspray Glass (white) blocks are +5 points, Stone (black) blocks are -5 points.

Holy crap this event’s gonna suck.  So unequip exp rounds I’m guessing.  Why can’t they save this for a Galvatron character event?  Thanks man.

@jimmy-necessary

Please post a screenshot of your leaderboard.  I need to put this “grouped by rank” theory to rest once and for all.  As you can see I’m level 426 circuit breaker.  Funny how I just happened to be a circuit breaker…

@moifirst

Got you again.  Same as Day 6 of last event.  And Daddy is the guy with the ruby Barricade I was talking about.  It’s a small world in this game.

3rd single bot event in a row?  4 of last 5?  Penalty blocks? I have a pretty well promoted E Starscream,  but still not gonna play this one much.

@jimmy-necessary

And there’s little ol’ me at 3rd from dumbest.  Can you confirm?

@seaspray

that is what my leaderboard is looking like. Only have 9 people in it which is weird

@seaspray I guess it wouldn’t come as a surprise anymore when I tell you that the Moi-character you see isn’t me.
Btw, it seems that there is some kind of structure in seeing these kind of characters. While you often see Moi (which I’ve never seen in my leaderboard, except for myself naturally), I often see characters like Alex and Bob.

@fear

Thanks for posting.  I’ve always been interested in what your board looks like.  I guess you’re in 1st huh?  Poor Vegetta, getting grouped with a bunch of level 1650s.  And what’s up with Nikki?  For real?  BTW, are you a Lee Ving fan?

[Optimus_Pig]

I hope single TF events aren’t the new normal.

This is another good event to skip.  I’m going away this weekend anyway.

@moifirst

I know it’s not you dude.  That MOI above is the exact same from Day 6 NHR, and I chased him for 1st for 4 recharges.  He even switched from the ruby EG to a gold 4 chevron Nautica as soon as I recharged.  Took a 65% bonus reduction and still stayed 5ooo points ahead of me after every single run.  I think he was just making fun of me for trying.  I also get lots of Bob and have had Alex a few times.

[The Dark Knight]

lol… what a f@#king retarded event… aaah one awesome vacation week for me :D

[Anonymous]

its not that bad, u have the opportunity to overpower energon starscream

[seaspray]

I like this one.  My first run (with exp rounds still equipped) Josh outscores me with Nautica at 60% less promotion bonus.

[seaspray]

But he gets on the board with a different bot and a different score, which happens sometimes.  Scoring about 400/run

[seaspray]

But about 45 minutes later he’s back with Nautica and beating me by 3,713 pts.  Can someone give me the secret as to how to avoid the bad blocks with Nautica and outscore someone who’s 60% above you in promotion?
