Cynical Bird@sickcynI FIXED my problem! I had to login at the FIRST start of the ABTF screen, not play that first level. There is a Facebook login off to the side. A long time ago I think you had to play first then login and that was what I was doing.

Cynical Bird@sickcyn@daniel-cho you don’t want to use any of the “free” ones at L8 because they have a 0% promotion bonus, you probably have other bots that are more promoted. Also what you see at L8 is pretty much all they’ll be.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@geli how much do Acid Storm and Sunstorm cost?
Cynical Bird@sickcynWow, that is LOW to change it to epic on the Halloween hats, I should have held off the upgrade :(
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@joel687 any chance you can point me to the picture that shows which area is which? Like which is meadow vs the other. I know Pig City and Desert, which is the one with the river and which is the one without the river?
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@joel687 You posted Desert is the place for Wood blocks. What are the best places for Stone, Glass, Missles, TnT, Gold blocks?
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@christian-cosgrove By 4 rounds do you mean 4 Batteries or 4 rounds of 4, so 16 times played?
Cynical Bird@sickcynIs 1.26.9 safe? Still running 1.26.8 because saw many report crashing etc.
Cynical Bird@sickcynIn the ABTF Facebook group, a mod or maybe even the creator of the group posted he had been told of a hack to max all bots to gold crown. He did it and had all his bots max sparked gold crown. Pics were posted and in one of the first 3x bonus comps he had a 630% buff with 2 bots, pics posted etc. Exient/Rovio claim their next update (this current one, 1.24) would have hack detection, etc. Don’t know if it’s there or not, but it doesn’t seem it will do any checks for past hackers.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@datguygamer When did you start playing? How many hours since the start time? All my boards have been super competitive in places 1-3. I’m near max level and the top 3 guys always have 2 gold crown bots. I’m sure some hacked before the hack detection came in to have 2 gold bots in all competitions. I can understand 1 but these people seem to have Grimlock and the competition bot maxxed, which seems near impossible that they have all bots maxed for every competition.
Cynical Bird@sickcynWhat’s the bonus? What are you guys choosing to run the competition with?
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@lewie4 If we haven’t updated. Will the fix to wait for another HARD app update in the App Store or will a soft update fix the issue? I don’t have Facebook so the uninstall/reinstall method would be VERY bad for me.
Cynical Bird@sickcynBetter than not showing up at all. Probably cheaper than the $30 he was originally or whatever price he was.
Cynical Bird@sickcynProbably won’t happen until 2017, events start on Thursday and end Tuesday, with Wednesday being the 24hr turnin period.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@lewie4 A mod on the Facebook group by his own admission, has hacked the sparks/bots he has them all maxxed at 105% and he says he knows of others. So your monitoring needs to be stepped up or something, or add some type of encryption. So the way you are monitoring isn’t working.
Cynical Bird@sickcynLike @sntrooper says. I spoke with my friend that’s a super fan and asked him who goes with Bluestreak and Prowl and he replied Smokescreen. That’s who I’m going with too.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@elpapam How many hours left in the competition do you start at? I only came in 2nd on the 2nd day and 1st day I was in 5th. The competition groups I’ve been in are rough. When Dead End shows up it will be a bloodbath.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@geli Ok, I believe most of us that are at issue with the new system are probably around 600+ level. Even under the old system I’d have to recharge 2-4 times to come in first. As I’ve said I start about 8 hours before the competition ends.
By your own account you don’t or barely recharge and come in first at L477 (from your day 2 account). Your day one account is consistent with ANYONE starting at the start time of the competition. But now starting at anytime if you’re L600+ you get a competition group as if you were starting in the first few minutes of the competition. You’re not seeing what higher level players are seeing. In the facebook group someone posted the scores in their group what they showed in place 10-20 would come in 1-5 in the old system.
My advice don’t level up anymore. Don’t start at the start and you’ll come in first easily. Your bots aren’t any stronger when they level up, gone are the days of being to kill a pig with 1 hit at max level or a mortar tower in 1-4 hits depending on the bot. It’s all “normalized”, it sucks and it’s stupid.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@geli What is your level? Like I’ve said before I’m at L612 and the competition is always hard. I start 8hrs before the end I haven’t come in top 3 and it would take 3-4 REcharges to break the top 3. I haven’t spent it because I only needed accessories and I got them already, so I’m playing to see how it goes to prepare for Dead End. But I suspect that will be even HARDER for us maximized or near maximized players. Anyone near my level probably scores top 3 in competitions. If we’re all lumped in together there can only be ONE of us at each spot. So there will be MANY of us getting screwed.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@millforce2k Then I recommend you don’t level up anymore, I’m at L612 and the competition is impossible to get top 3. At one point I was 20th, how fun. I start about 8 hour until the competition ends.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@aledromo What level are you? At what time did you start, like how long from the start time?
Same for anyone else answering:
What level are you? What time (hours from the start of the competition)? Amount of recharges? Where did you place at? What score did you have and possibly the other competitors? Especially first place.
Cynical Bird@sickcynLOL at spending 300-400 gems a day. At that rate play whatever recharges we get, collect the default tokens and then just pay the deficit for Dead End with gems, it’ll probably be cheaper.
Cynical Bird@sickcyn@jasebree Seeing as your our resident number cruncher/super player (always getting 1st). Have you done any experimenting during this competition on as to how to continue to get first place or anything like that? Different time? Something, anything?
This question also goes out to anyone else that may offer any insight.
Cynical Bird@sickcynSo not “playing” the game how it’s supposed to be played is the way to play it now it seems. Don’t upgrade, since they perform just like a fully upgraded version, your level stays low, you get put in with low/bad players, you have an easy competition group and you get first place. Totally makes sense. This is literally retarded. Mediocrity/apathy gets rewarded, being a fan you get crapped on.
Change it back to grouping first come first serve.
