Get a job you unemployed scumbag

Yeah ... that sort of attitude isn't going to fly around here. Have a warning.

Me personally, I wouldn't mind giving the devs of this game some money. The game is a bit glitchy, no doubt. But for the most part, its pretty playable and quite enjoyable. Thats something worth supporting. What stops me from paying for anything is the fact that I don't feel there is anything worth paying for.

I mean, 1 full dollar for a full energon refill! Big deal. 1 full energon refill gives me exactly 2 minutes of extra playtime before I run out of energon again. Battle cubes are not worth paying for at all. Finally, I would never pay 3 bucks for a single, random card. Thats just ridiculous.

Now, 5 bucks for unlimited energon for a day, something that actually adds replay value, then yeah. Now my language is being spoken. A couple bucks for a "booster pack" of cards? Yeah, I might pay for that. The three pay options that exist now are ridiculous in my view. I would be surprised that anybody would pay them at all if I wasn't on a Transformers forum where the collector's here have demonstrated many times over that their bank accounts are endless when it comes to supporting their "habits".

I agree with you completely about the whole day energon purchase. Ive lost about 7 or 8 energon refills due glitches, and as you said 1 dollar for 1 energon that may work or may not is not a good deal. The lack of communication by the developer (no forums) also makes investing money a seedy prospect for me too as you never know whats going on.

Side question: Has hardshell always been accessible through the event since its beginning or only after todays most recent update?

Additional side question: Im cataloging the autobot side for the campaign and creating a list of decepticons you fight for weapons on stages 2 and 4 since the game doesnt tell you which boss is where. Would anyone be interested in doing the decepticon side concurrently? The way Ive been marking it is on the main map Autobot symbol (d)down or (t)top, then (bot) bottom (mid) middle or top, then stage 2 or 4.

For example:

AD Bot 2 Starscream
AD Mid 2 Megatron
AD Top 2 Slipstream

AT Bot 2 Cyclonus
AT Mid 2 Thundercracker
etc....

I paid money a few weeks ago. Think I picked up 500 or a 1000 coins.

Know what I got out of it?

Jack ****. I might have gotten ONE rank 3 card from the super duper space bridge.

Today's the first time i've seen him.

As if the game somehow read my thoughts about giving it money now I've run into a game breaking glitch. Even though my Energon has refilled enough to do a mission when I hit scan the game then tells me I don't have enough. Broke pos.

Getting that too.

Yep. Same here. Just got that glitch too. One more reason paying for single energon refills is not a good idea.

The sad thing is that the game is working for some people..... Im watching my rank slowly drop. Yep lets give these guys money....

Think of it like this, we're just the test Androids. Get everything sorted out, work out how to run a tournament, cost their shop correctly ... then they'll roll it out to the "major" market.

'cause you know, they're probably just another mobile company who thinks Android users are a minority group while that OTHER group is the one to really target.

Just burned a few more quid. Given the phone to my PA to rank me up whilst I earn a few grand today working.

Ugh. I've got the same glitch where you're showing full energon but the second you go into the missions to scan for bosses you're empty again.

Yay?

So much for my aspirations of getting closer to the 1k rank. I'm not dropping money into it again if they can't activate an event boss without breaking the game.

Weren't you suppose to be dead?

I got better.

Damn it!

Well I figured since the world didn't end last month I'd come and ruin 2013 for you

Va'al ruined 2013 for me.

Va'al ruins everything ...

Same glitch happened with me last night. Seems to be working now although I lost almost 1000 placings. Does it ours anybody else of that some people already got the event rewards and are using them?

The game is working again. Is it just me or is it that since Bomb...uh...Hardshell has been introduced, boss encounters happen slightly less frequently? With Kickback as the main boss, I was able to win about 28-30 warrior medals during 1 run of energon. Since the switch, I've only broken 40 medals once despite the medal rewards being almost doubled.

Also, I haven't pulled a single class 4 card out of the space bridge since the event restarted. This is after I pulled 2 of them before they shut the event down last month and after cashing in way more medals since it started again. Am I just getting unlucky? Has anybody pulled any 4s since the event restarted a few days ago?

I pulled a few level 3's, and a bunch of level 2's that I could immediately transcan as I got both modes. No level 4's, but a ton of level 1's that quickly became level up fodder.

I have had full energon stacks go without a single boss encounter. Then Ive had a full energon stack yield 4-5 boss battles. The first time I did the event I space bridged hundreds of silver medals only receiving an occasional rank 3 card. Since the event has started I have found two rank 4 cards.

I guess random game is random.

My boss encounters have definitely decreased.

Space Bridge wise ... i've pulled out one 3 card. A alt mode for Optimus Prime, goes nicely with his robot mode that I pulled out before the tournament **** it's self.

Interesting lesson ... my robot mode Prime was up to about level 15 or so ... once I trans-scanned him he went back to level 1.

Oh and I dropped about 1500 places in the tournament. Going to be a hard slog to get back to 500. Might talk to El Duque and see if we can set up an interview with these guys.

-edit-

"Error Occurred during Boss Battle"

*sigh* Here we go again.

Yes the game could be a little more informative when it comes to trans-scanning. If you level 1 card to 50 and level its alt to 50, then trans-scan them, your new card will come out level 1.

Essentially youre leveling the same card 3 times to obtain the highest possible stats.

Yeah i'm going to mighty annoyed if I ever get that level 4 Megatron robot mode ... given his alt mode is maxed out at level 65.

Getting all sorts of errors trying to finish off a boss if you don't beat them the first time. Same with trying to join battles.

Yep, can't even fight a boss now. It takes my battle cubes and gives me an error sign in return. Lost over 13 000 pts because of it. And around 30 battle cubes. Has anybody heard back about their missing medals?
