Was anyone aware of this? I asked support about when will I get my medals from the last event and this was the response I received.

"The medals are only available when an event is in progress. Your medals are still there, you just won't be able to see them until we hold another event. I suggest you follow @mobage on twitter or check our Facebook page to stay current with all Mobage news and updates."

I think I am just done playing this game. The other night I figured out how the game determines battle points awarded and it just pissed me off.

Until recently I was unaware that battle points awarded to you are based on YOUR deck of cards, not your opponents. Basically, the better your cards are and the more favorable you match up with your selected opponent, the LESS points you are awarded.

I found this out the other night after I had used my battle cubes. Then I realized that I forgot to spend some cards. So I spent and leveled up my Kickback. By the time I was done with that, I had earned another battle cube so I went to spend that too. I noticed that some of my opponents, who I just battled, had their points reward change slightly. I put 2 and 2 togther quickly and realized my Kickback leveling up had impacted the points reward. So on a hunch, I cashed in some bronze warrior medals that I had been saving. I replaced 3 of the cards in my hand with the 3 lowest cards that I got from the space bridge. Then, when I went back to the battle screen and I saw that reward points jumped dramaically. People that were giving out only 25 points were now giving out 44 points because I made my hand crappier.

Immediately it ticked me off. I rationalized this particular aspect of the game as the game punishing you for playing it. You get less points for playing the game and making your cards better. Whats the point of playing then?

Weapon cards are already overly tedious to level up to the point of ridiculousness as it is. On top of that, as you level up your cards, it gets even worse so. And, as it turns out, there's no point in doing it because the game rewards you more for going into battle with a bunch of lvl 1 Huffers instead of the good cards that you worked to level up.

The glitches and general dumbness of certain parts of the game have killed my interest in it. I has hoping to put a good deck together to be more competitive in the next event. Now, I just don't care.

I once ran across an opponent who had a first line of Huffers.

I thought to myself "you poor bastard" ... now I get why.

On the plus side, I must be **** awesome given that most of my opponents pay less than 10.

Yeah, I believe I ran into that guy too. That's why I used that example. I want to say his top 3 cards were all maxed out event Mirages. I remember laughing at his deck wondering what the heck he would have such a stupid hand. I figured he was trying to be spiteful and make his points lower. Turned out he was trying to make his opponent's points higher. His 3 card hand beat me everytime, incidentally.

Its dumb. This is one of the least rewarding games I've ever played.

Not that I'm an ardent fan of this game right now, but it's not that big of a deal how bp awards are determined. Either way you cut it, the game looks at your cards versus your opponents cards and does some sort of statistical analysis of your likelihood to win, then provides the amount of bp in relation to that percentage. Obviously higher percentage chances receive lower rewards. This guys stacking strategy sounds interesting but I sincerely doubt he is winning against high yielding bp opponents (lower stat chance) to make up any sort of tremendous gain in bp. There probably exists an "ideal" team to maximize bp with winning percentage however that requires far more effort than this game is worth.

I still cannot trans scan cards after reinstalling, clearing data and removing the .ngmoco folder and the "support" team had me full out a bug form because their copy/paste answers didn't work on this issue.

It wouldn't be an issue if there was easier ways to level up your weapons.

At the moment you have three options.

Find a boss and beat him up (odds are low)
Use Battle Points to open the space bridge (when all your targets are paying out less than 20 that can take a few days and if you're lucky you might get a level 2 weapon)
Rise five levels and get a weapon medal to open the space bridge (and again if you're lucky you might get a level 2 weapon)

Oh and then to actually power up a weapon it takes at least half a dozen level 3 cards to do so.

So at the rate I'm playing, I might be able to level up a weapon card maybe twice a month.

lol ... top update Mobage. You replaced a good sound with one that now sounds like a squeezed out fart.

Here is what I think I've figured out on cheering allies.

It used to be you can cheer allies once a day, ie 20 allies at 10 pts is 200 pts per day.

I had 85 allies but when I cheered, I only received 240 pts. Then I noticed, I could cheer back any allie who cheered me, AS MANY TIMES AS I WANTED.

So I cheered my allies, got 240 pts, waited about an hour, logged in, noticed people cheered me, I cheered back, got 180 pts, waited an hour repeated. At the end of the day, I had about 1500 pts for my 85 allies.

I hypothesized that you now only get pts if you can you cheer an allie but you can't cheer them again unless they cheer you.

I removed all friends that didn't seem to be playing except the 24 I noticed were cheering. Asked for friend requests of people in my level range that were still playing. Got my allies back up to about 60, started cheering everytime I logged in about every couple hours and was getting between 300-400 per. So daily, I've been getting anywhere around 3000 pts from allies.

Can anyone else try this and verify its working for them?

I think mobage purposely did this to give us more cards attempts. Wish we had more weapon card attempts.

Also, I've completed all missions, got all robot and weapon cards from all missions filled out, my explore energy is 136, has anyone gotten explore energy to go higher than that?

ugh ... every time they update this game they make it slower and slower to play. I don't have time to go through my allies and work out who's playing and who isn't, remove those who aren't, add those who are, then check in every hour just to cheer.

I realise it's mobile and I have the game at hand pretty much all the time, but I also have better things to do with my life.
