How do you avoid boarding Astrotrain?

Right but on previous level upgrades you only got one of the three: speed, damage and defense would rotate out with each level. Are we saying that you get all three with level 16, or do we even know at this point? Has anyone actually pulled the trigger?

julrey replied to the topic Hard update 1.26.7.0 in the forum Angry Birds Transformers Forum 7 years ago
Speaking of these new level 16’s, has anyone determined what you actually get for it? I can’t imagine coughing up 8000 tokens (or equivalent gems) but if it’s just extra driving speed I wouldn’t even be willing to pay half that

I thought we were done with level upgrades anyway. They have way too many ways now to enhance your TF: levels, sparks, accessories… it’s just unnecessarily overcomplicated IMO (see also: Angry Birds 2).

That is utterly bizarre. “Hey, let’s make the softest targets the highest earners!”

Now that you mention it I do remember that, but I thought that was more a matter of they fixed a glitch rather than they kept the offscreen flying pigs but just balanced out the damage. Either way, every day the spark runs seem to get exponentially harder to the point where I project I’m only a week away from them being completely unplayable…[Read more]

Thanks for the explanation on the “thumping”. Unless this is a glitch with a fix in the works having to fight off characters offscreen seems like downright cheating to me. Not that it matters, because on the levels right before I started encountering the thumping I was pretty much clearing everything scorable on all five levels and still not…[Read more]

Does anyone know what the deal is with the earthquakes on the Sparks runs that shake the ground and take serious damage? My Energon Grimlock just got nuked 1/3 of the way through the first level and I have no idea what to do except just take the damage

Finally got back in. Taken to a new weekly challenge we no acknowledgement that there was any previous problem. Deleted every single Rovio game I had on my phone as a result. Bye y’all, good luck sticking with your idle threats in the future

This has stretched on for enough hours that I imagine they’ll have little choice but to extend the tournament for another day to make it up to all those affected. If they don’t and I end up losing out on a surefire bot over their incompetence then I’m deleting this game for good (not an idle threat, I’ve never publicly threatened to quit playing…[Read more]

julrey replied to the topic Gold coins! in the forum Angry Birds Transformers Forum 7 years, 6 months ago
There was a time when my bots were still around level 10 that I couldn’t seem to play nodes fast enough to replenish my gold coins before the existing TF finished upgrading. I’m still only sitting at around 6M but I can easily see getting to 100M+ some day without really trying. Just goes to show that with all the moving goalposts in the game…[Read more]

julrey replied to the topic Stop it with the events and open a new area! in the forum Angry Birds Transformers Forum 7 years, 7 months ago
Re: end game state, the irony is that they’ve recently begun adding new levels in Angry Birds 2 faster than I can complete them. Maybe shift some resources to this game instead? Based on the cloud cover in the map it would appear the developers are barely at the halfway point of all that was originally intended.

julrey replied to the topic Flight Of The Bumblebee -New Event!- in the forum Angry Birds Transformers Forum 7 years, 7 months ago
Has anyone else largely discontinued running missions just due to the frequency of back-to-back challenges events? I’m reluctant to tie up any of my bots on missions when you never know which of them are going to be necessary at any given time on the challenges.

julrey replied to the topic How do you all have so many Gems???? in the forum Angry Birds Transformers Forum 7 years, 9 months ago
Yeah I used to wonder the same thing when all my TFs were still sub-level 10, but as you near getting maxed out you find that not only are you getting more coins and gems than you used to, but there are also fewer things to spend them on. I only recently hit level 15 on my last remaining TF, so my gem count is still pretty modest, but on the other…[Read more]

julrey replied to the topic Upgrades in the forum Angry Birds Transformers Forum 7 years, 9 months ago
My beef is less with the convoluted upgrade scheme and more with the ongoing lack of any endgame. I could justify running the same nodes over and over when most of my TFs were still at lower levels where you’d see noticeable improvement every time you leveled up, but truthfully after about level 12 most TFs were either already complete bad asses,…[Read more]

julrey replied to the topic New Comp- Second Wind (my thoughts) in the forum Angry Birds Transformers Forum 7 years, 9 months ago
So with this thing nearly in the can, here are my own thoughts after playing this thing for a week…
PROS:
– definitely an improvement over the last challenge. I never quite bought the scoring explanation on the last one (ie. “well you get less points but you need disproportionately less points to get rewards”). It definitely felt like for the…[Read more] -
julrey replied to the topic Bumblebee SUCKS… And he is not the only one. in the forum Angry Birds Transformers Forum 7 years, 9 months ago
I can tell you exactly what the problem with Bumblebee (and several other TFs) is: each TF is designed to excel at one or more of three things: firepower, shield and speed. Bumblebee is pretty much all in on the latter, which would seem to be a deliberate design feature, but the problem is that of those three proficiencies speed has never really…[Read more]

Yeah, sorry, I did mean challenges, not missions (updated the subject line accordingly). I haven’t opened a trouble ticket, no, just wanted to take the temperature of the forum and see if this was a widespread problem that was already being addressed.
I really wasn’t worried too much about it when it appeared to be a one-off seasonal thing, but…[Read more]

I’m really surprised with all the other common bugs that there isn’t a pre-existing thread for this, since I’ve been experiencing it since the Halloween challenges but have basically just blown it off until now.
