@sntrooper
I hope that you are right about coming changes. The previous changes made me stop playing after 1 or 2 months, because no new characters were released except when you bought a prime pass (no way!). Maybe they’ll revert this strategy, but to be honest, my hopes aren’t too high.

 

[moi]

Here’s another one with the same opinion.
Please make the game less boring and reintroduce new free characters.

[moi]

Surprised????
They’ve been doing this for quite some time. The greatest screw up of them is that the last half year (and probably forever) no bundles with new bots could be purchased with gems (except for one mistake some time ago, where 2 prime pass characters could be obtained by gems).
Therefor you have to spend a ridiculous amount of money to get new characters (with almost no different properties as compared to the other bots) by buying a prime pass.
Well, I’m literally not buying this.

[moi]

Although people have different opinions about this, I personally would advise you to unlock it (unless you have other plans for your gems). Besides unlocking a “new” area you also gain access to the Challenge Run (see also here ) where you can compete for weekly prizes.

@papakarlo More fun with -5 points? I’d call it more frustration!

[moi]

@john12345 Friendly word of advice: Please make use of punctuation marks. Otherwise your posts are often one great mystery.

[moi]

@grimlockdown Probably a total misinterpretation by me, but are you implying that Goldbrick can also recover health?

[moi]

@papakarlo Thanks for your remark. I didn’t have noticed this problem, probably because I haven’t visited Pig City lately in this event. So this is indeed something to keep in mind. However, in the other places where there are abundant pigs. Enerbot is better than Healthpack (faster recovery of health).
So as you say, Enerbot is roulette, but with good odds. However if you want to play more on safe, then choose Healthpack.

[moi]

Today I’ve used Enerbot and I must say it beats Healthpack (at least in this event using Nemesis Hot Rod) although Heaithpack is also not bad.

@grimlockdown , @deindiaan

@deindiaan @grimlockdown
I’ve tried Healthpack using Nemesis Hot Rod and it works great (all hearts present at the end of the run). I’ll try Enerbot later on.

[moi]

@deindiaan
Thanks for this advice!

[moi]

It will probably won’t come as a surprise, but I really do hate these poison TNT block events just like I do the good block, bad block events. Most of the time I realize only after shooting that I’ve aimed at the wrong type of target. Very frustrating!

[moi]

@papakarlo Thanks for your alertness. I’ve changed the name of the top prize. Still it remains a complete mystery to me if the term “top prize” has any significance.

[moi]

To my surprise a new event was present for me (Android v 2.11.0.1)

Details: New event starting today May 27, 2021:
• Event Name:”High Octane Bumblebee”
• Number of TFs: 1”
• Energonicon? : Yes
• Bonus Squad: Variant Versions
(Ultimate Megatron, Ultimate Optimus Prime, Goldbite Grimlock, High Octane Bumblebee)
• Top Prize: High OctaneEnergon Bumblebee
• Token Exchange: (see bonus squad TFs above and Energon Bumblebee)

But it wouldn’t surprise me if this event will be removed soon, being just another JARSU. (Yeah, I know this is a pleonasm.)

[moi]

@papakarlo This whole game is becoming funny, or rather one big joke.

[moi]

@grimlockdown As far as I know I don’t think there is a particular bot causing these crashes, but I must say that I haven’t paid much attention to this. I also quit pressing the secondary weapon button after my bot has died, because that proved to be a 100% recipe for crashing. (But that could be coincidence, because otherwise the game would crash very often also.)

[moi]

Not that it really matters much after the degradation of this game, but the Challenge run often crashes at the end of each run (when normally you can collect your reward), resulting in me not paying much attention to it anymore, because it’s a waste of my time. This has been going on for quite a while (months?).
Btw, I’m using Android.

[moi]

@grimlockdown It was more or less the same for me using Sergeant Flamewar lvl 15 (yes, I bought her for 750 gems). But as you say others who are using more high precicision bots did probably have a problem.
But despite this issue I’d like it if this target (stone blocks or maybe other blocks) would return in this event, because up till now it yielded most points (and thus tokens).

[moi]

@grimlockdown Maybe a little bit late reaction. But now when I look very closely I can see differences between wood and stone. However during playing these differences don’t stand out enough for me to see them. So why did R/E do this. (In the other runs differences are much more obvious using more different colours.)
Btw, I know this discussion is out of date, except when on the last day the challenge target would be the same as on day one.

[moi]

@grimlockdown @deindiaan  Thanks for your responses. Only later on I realized that indeed these red blocks are still  glass, wood and stone blocks. (“Silly me”)
However I can’t see much difference between the wood and stone blocks. Maybe I’ll just have to look better.

[moi]

Well, the first day starts great in a typical R/E way. The challenge targets are grey blocks. And guess what? Not a single grey block is present.

[moi]

@abt This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in this game. I guess you would prefer OP’s , but this certainly is way better than pigs and coins.
Another sign that R/E is losing interest in this game??

[moi]

@papakarlo In response to your latest post (and also earlier posts), I see that we both have very different opinions.
I don’t think that we can help the people who are making these games by buying things from the company (R/E) that employs them. It will only depend on the decisions made by its CEO’s and shareholders.
Btw, suppose no one would buy anything, R/E will keep earning money by running ads, which imo is their major source of income
So it’s only a choice for everyone individually to decide if they want to buy anything (like you) or not (like me). (Or do it on other sites (like your friend).)

[moi]

I guess this error (Valkyries -> Femmes Fatale) is characteristic for the (lack of) interest R/E is showing in the development of a new event.

[moi]

@papakarlo It’s just what your priorities are. As someone has said a long time ago (I don’t know who it was or in which thread it was) something like: ” Why spend money on a set of zeros and ones?”
Maybe I’m a little bit too oldfashioned, but I have the same philosophy. The consequence of this is that (among others) I don’t have any of the Prime Pass bots, except for the last 2.
But I’m still playing ABT with fun, although I must say it is slightly becoming less without any new developments in the game or the introduction of new bots (I guess these last 2 were a mistake, although I’m not really sure about that) .
