@grimlockdown, Haha, I had not noticed either until I saw your comment and checked.  I am also “Nautica” at lvl 1156, after (?) years at “planet eater.”  Guess that is a promotion?  🤔

Just trying her out in the event,  it seems like greenlight is another weak character and not worth the effort.

It’s been a long time since they have given us any “apology tokens,” which seem way overdue.

Low scores aren’t a bug, they are a feature of this game.  Since this is a 2 bot event, they have to adjust in other ways.  In this case it’s not giving targets to hit.

@vabeachguy, not 100% the same, but if I transform 3 times in quick succession,  it will scramble me like I got hit by a blue missile.  Maybe there is some hidden trigger for washing machine status.

His weapon is strong, but reload time is extremely slow.  What is the obsession with slowness lately?  At least we get the fast forward effect in this event.

Interested

Sounds to me like this new feature is great if you are willing to spend hours playing the game every day.   I am not any more.  I’m absolutely not interested while the only available bot is devastator.  Maybe I will change my mind if it opens up to different bots.   It’s not even really about the 2500 gems for me, which I could spend.  I still…[Read more]

@lewie4, thanks for trying to explain.   I haven’t unlocked the area yet, so I can’t see anything in game that explains what it even is.  Given the very high price of admission,  I’ll wait.  Sounds like a “live” competition where the rewards are chests?  Sounds like a huge time and gem commitment that pays off in more useless sunglass/hat upgra…[Read more]

I’ve never seen an eggbot drop anything but coins.  Interesting if this is a new thing.

@Asen, I guess it isn’t obvious to me that the prizes will be worth it.   Is there an explanation somewhere of what you can win and how to win them?

Sounds like a hard no for me at 2500 gems.

I like Novastar and have used her a bit in this event. Her weapon is generally pretty strong but it cannot hit boss pig or unicron at all.  Like it will not fire if you target them.  This seems like a bug that should be fixed.

These are good and helpful changes.

Took a 2 week vacation in Europe and didn’t touch the game.  I didn’t miss it, but am intrigued by the new character and potential new map area.  At least it does seem like they’re trying now.

@optimuspig, I already can’t stand the slow-mo portals, so I can only imagine that pain.  I’d probably just put the phone down and read a book for the 15 minutes it would take.   Or exit the run and hope for something else after re-starting.

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.
