werehamsta@werehamsta55-60 pigs each run… it seems that Rovio devised a formula to ensure it’s physically impossible to meet Challenge’s 550 limit without gems. Sheesh.
Oh, and today’s quest is to shoot 45 missiles. Guess what? Boss’ missiles don’t count.
You’re right — the longer it takes to kill the boss pig, the fewer minion pigs you have to shoot at.
Technically, nothing stops you from shooting minion pigs while the boss is still in the air.
I might be wrong, but I just noticed that if a minion pig isn’t killed directly by a weapon but blasted by TNT explosion or dies from the fall or under debris, it isn’t counted towards the score. So, better aim precisely.OK, I stand corrected. It’s not about cause of death, it’s just that only flying pigs really matter.
sheepybach@paul13Well this mornings full run and the first for the wood as I fell asleep last night. Any way I digress, Run 1,2 & 3 gave me 65 each time so I had 195 and was 1st, I done the last run and it gave me 56 for a total of 251 but was now 11th as 1st 2013,2nd 1998 and 3rd 1952.
Work that 1 out if you can.
Tomlad@talmudSo how is everyone finding this comp? Anyone gotten wind blade yet?
Optimus_Pig@optimuspig“So how is everyone finding this comp? Anyone gotten wind blade yet?”
Windblade costs 4,000 tokens.
It’s not mathematically possible for anyone to have won enough tokens before the conclusion of Day 3 to purchase Windblade.
Optimus_Pig@optimuspig“Run 1,2 & 3 gave me 65 each time so I had 195”
Nice. In all of my Day 3 runs, I’ve yet to score more than 59. My average is 57.2
jman@jmanHad no idea there was a comp until late last night, so I lost 2 days already. To top it off it wouldn’t update so I had to reinstall the whole app and lost progress, coins and gems.
I was using E grimlock at first but started using G grimlock and not trying to kill the Boss right away. I end up shooting down more missiles and have a higher coin yield, helpful for those of us needing coins for upgrades.
I find the comp to be monotonous and not very challenging. The only challenge is going to be getting the 4000 tokens.
Francis Crawford@franciscrawfordAfter 20 runs — i.e. when it was easy to do the math — I had averaged exactly 57.3 points per run.
Occasionally I lose an incoming missile in the smoke and take a hit, so it’s good to have multiple Grimlocks available.
I haven’t noticed any correlation between how soon I kill the boss and the final score. And there’s a lot of variation in how soon I kill him, since I fire off one or two energons at different times in different runs.
PBJ@aliaspbjIn the update post about Windblade, there is a description of a “double competition” and that there will be another competition later this month according to the description in App Store. If that is true, that could be the competition for accessories for Windblade. Here is the link. To the post.
Geli@geliSeèm to be getting 56-58 per run , tending towards the lower end of the scale. GSGrimlock Level 10 and Photoblast netted me 58. I’m not up to top levels yet on any TF.
SMH- I have Energon Grimlock in upgrade and unavailable. It seems it was a bit easier using that TF.
EDIT IN: recall getting 3 energonicons twice, using EGrimlock.
sheepybach@paul13@optimus_pig
Not sure how many I’ll end up with in this comp and I’m can’t see me getting the new bot as unable to play for long. I can get away with about 10mins at the time.
MillForce2k@millforce2kYou have the same kind of group I had yesterday. I finished with 2664 to get first. Today’s leader is at 1683.
sheepybach@paul13How did you get over 20000? Each 4 nodes only gives you 200+/- and they fully charge after 4 hours.
Doh OK I got it you are using a lot of gems
PBJ@aliaspbjYeah. So an additional 3750 tokens to kit out Windblade and they are not showing up as regular accessories.
MillForce2k@millforce2kGot an extra zero in there, but yeah, a lot of gems yesterday. Six recharges. Today, only three, had to run out and when I got back, I wasn’t able to get past first place. I think he was watching and keeping one step ahead.
Optimus_Pig@optimuspigRovio messing with us again.
Did the math, and to purchase Windblade plus all accessories (including those for Magnus, Heatwave, and Bludgeon), would cost 12,000 tokens, which is (barely) achievable if you win the Competition all eight days AND max out the Challenge on four out of eight days (and you still need to hit the 90 level on the other four days).
TriPolar@tripolarDamn, so there goes that hope… I came in 2nd on day 3. For me meeting the daily isn’t a real problem, just means spending jems… It’s the finishing first part.
I guess technically I could have spent 60 on another refill but I didn’t think it was worth it…
Personally, for the accessories, I think it is cheaper (unless you’re not) spending 50 gems to get the Sentinal Prime helmet… I was looking at the gem vs. Tokens cost for some of these things and not a lot of them make sense to me. S-Prime helmet for example 50 gems or 500 tokens…Also with Ultra Magnus, both items are head pieces and we can only use one. I still want them both tho ;-)
My bad, for mistakenly calling Heatwave, Sentinal Prime… Either way it’s Terrence!
Lol
Drover’s Dog@droversdogI notice that to upgrade Windblade you require materials from the Pork side but running nodes you achieve materials from the Avian side.
TriPolar@tripolarNot sure if you read the write up on Silver in the squads section. She was raised by pigs, so that kind of makes sense. Also reminds me of Airachnid. I’m hoping to see the same sort of thing from a pig bot. A couple of the pigs from the Stella stories come to mind.
MillForce2k@millforce2kYep. Not going to happen. Will focus on Windblade, especially if they are currently exclusive.
Ultra Magnus
Dion, 2,000 tokens, 850 gems
Helmet, 1,000 tokens, 350 gemsHeatwave
Hard Hat, 500 tokens, 50 gemsBludgeon
Reflector, 750 tokens, 650 gemsInteresting that the helmet is more tokens than the reflector.
TriPolar@tripolarYeah, it just doesn’t make sense to me… Unless Rovio has some hidden plans we don’t know about. It’s almost like a blowout sale for some of these items. Then again, they did mention to someone in these forums that the descriptions for the accessories are not exactly correct, so that makes me think as well. Will they eventually correct them or (more likely) are the tokens a true representation of the value for what these items really do?!?
I agree with you, get Windblade accessories first!!! Then if possible, I’m going to try to pick off the others… most expensive first (gem wise).
PBJ@aliaspbjBased on my earlier post, I think there is a pretty good chance of an encore competition like they did for C Minor. So there may be an opportunity to play catch up likely with the accessories for TFs other than Windblade.
Francis Crawford@franciscrawfordDion and Helmet seem to take the same slot, so getting both is pointless.
Helmet also sounds more useful than some others.
sheepybach@paul13I just passed a 1000 tokens and so got no chance of 4000 to get the bird.
I’m not sure about anybody else but this comp is boring the hell out of me same node all the time means same score
Francis Crawford@franciscrawfordI’m not competing as hard as I have in past competitions, when things were more interesting.
That said, I think there is some tiny variety in today’s runs (the river). Sometimes the boss pig goes behind a bunch of trees for a while and sometimes he doesn’t.
Tomlad@talmudI’m not trying as hard as well. Its because, theres literally only one goal-beat the boss and get as many flying pigs before the level ends. Right now i’m pretty bored and to make things worse, there only one silver-ed (transformed) rock in this comp which means i can only use my photoblast once :(
