I feel like scoring is down slightly in the last few days.  I’m usually comfortably in 4/5 but lately its been much closer.

Not a bug, just a bad mismatch between spamming us with the toughest enemies during an event featuring a squad full of weaklings.

My level 19 energon lockdown with some solid accessories can’t kill those silver shield pigs, either.  Dies in every run today.   Breakdown with EMP rounds works well, but not in the bonus squad.  I’m out.

I have an 800% bonus and today’s scores are great even with 1 bot.  But, I’m not sure there is anything in the token exchange that I care about any more.   The more overpowers I get, the more it seems like a waste of time–overpowering rarely seems to make any appreciable difference in a character.  Maybe I will play for the gold crates,  maybe not.

Yes you can avoid most of the poison blocks, but in doing so your scores will suck.  So you have to just take the pain if you want points in this one.

They have consistently had some daily tasks that appear every single day,  such as 30 energon cubes,  thank 3 buddies,  start a spark run, etc.  Seems like they decided to make the challenge run one of these everyday tasks but didn’t think it through. I for one am glad that thanking 3 buddies is no longer an everyday task.

Really?  It’s where you click on the thing I have circled here and do a run.

Yeah, if you got to green then you already passed through purple!

That’s a lot of sparks, I guess, in that bundle, but even so it seems overpriced in comparison to the occasional eggspark offers.

Only playing for sparks,  but already saw unicron for the first time in a while.  Also, there’s a red crown Grapple at the top of my leaderboard,  because of course there is.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Confirmed, doing a run in the new event ticked the last daily quest.</p>

I assumed it was doing a run on the weekly challenge,  but will have to wait until later this evening (USA time) to confirm.

Today, For the first time I can remember (ever?),  my daily quests do not include “collect 30 energon cubes. ”  That is replaced with a totally new (to me) “start a challenge run.”  Kudos for changing things up a bit, although it’s token exchange day…

@vabeachguy, thanks.  Interesting.

Is Breakdown the same way–do you lose his strikebot effect in spark run?

I’d rather see keeping 4x since it helps get to the non leaderboard token levels, which are more important.

Here’s an idea:  allow for demoting characters, lowering their bonus and giving you back say half of the sparks you put in.  So if I decide that there are new characters that are better for spark run now I could at least get back some of t…[Read more]

@lewie4, most of the possible tokens come from the score milestones,  not the competition.   High score targets + low bonus = no possibility of decent token totals.  The competition for 1st is impossible anyway, to the point it’s not a consideration for me even if I have the highest possible bonus.  So “others are in the same boat” doesn’t really matter.

@lewie4, I’ll believe it when I see it.  Events like this are useless for some because there is nothing new if you already have all the characters.   Overpowering seems generally pointless, with meaningless percentage upgrades that dont translate to real benefits.  And I personally never play these events with only 1 character because it’s jus…[Read more]

@pandaczar12, some very good ideas!

Not sure what your point is, @Jimmy-necessary.  Even if we assume you do have a higher promotion bonus (which still isn’t clear and may not be knowable),  it doesn’t mean that the others won’t have higher scores than you.   Happens every event.  If that was WMT day, maybe they killed all the targets and you didn’t, which can lead to a huge poin…[Read more]
