You know, in all seriousness, I'm not sold on the importance of the 5X cards or whether or not they provide any advantage. In a day and a half, I've climbed 5000 spots without them. Sure they provide some advantage in the beginning because you can infinicube a lot longer, but only for small points. By the time the points get bigger and the bosses get tough, the playing field levels a lot more. You're still requiring help to get your points, which in turn, gives other people big points.
I guess I'm saying I don't think it guarantees anything. I'd rather have a larger amount of cubes than the 5X cards. A regular deck seems just as capable in aquiring big points at the end of the episode when everybody needs help anyway.

It depends on what rank you are shooting for. If you are aiming for top 100 they are pretty much required. I can do inifiniplay on my deck of 11230, but once the second wave of bosses drop I am cut off. Those with 5x cards get to continue inifiniplay until the next wave of bosses hit (usually 24 hours). Yes at the end of event it becomes more about cubes then deck power, but building huge leads as most players in the top 100 do early makes catching them very difficult. Take a lookat some of the point totals in the first 24 hours of the next event.
Also this episode sideswipe will be nearly as good as elita1 and jetfire post episode.

I just cracked the top 1000 for the first time since day 1 when I infinicubed up to the 600s before going to bed. 2 days and 400 cubes left. Can I hold?

joesaysso wrote:You guys are probably right about the early goings of the episode and the 5X cards. Kon, I've seen what you are talking about with the point totals. Parts of me want to question their authenticity sometimes. I button press as fast as I can at the beginning of an epsiode and still can't keep up. 5X cards don't help you push buttons faster or communicate with the server quicker. I always found those point totals a bit fishy but never bothered complaining about it since there's much that can really be said.
Monuo, I'm always up for a challenge. Although, not spending money on this game won't be much of a challenge. I'm generally tight with my money anyway. Not giving any to Mobage for a month will be a piece of cake.
Saving cubes for all of June may be a bit harder. It all depends on what the reward cards will be. Theres a few characters that are sacred and will throw a wrench into those plans. I'm still pretty furious that they pulled what they pulled with Megatron this episode. But we can take it one episode at a time and judge them as they come. Count me in.
It would be nice to get something going as Team Seibertron. Since DeNa has claimed to have taken steps to increase the chances of your allies being in your help list, I have seen a noticable upswing in the number of allies requesting help this episode. Its not a dramtic difference but it has been noticable. And I know that the one time I paid attention to who I was requesting help from, 2 of my allies were on the list. Perhaps this is a coincidence, perhaps it isn't. Its certainly worth monitoring as we go forward.
**edit**

Selfish gits.

My up-to-the-minute status: Rank: 737, Battle Cubes remaining: 382, Energon Refills remaining: 345, Time remaining: 2 days, 1 hour
I like my position but bosses are starting to time out with more regularity and my queue has been slow to fill the last couple hours.

Good call, Kon. Thanks!
joesaysso wrote:6 hours left and I find myself on the outside looking in. Over the last day and a half, my queue has struggled to get high level bosses that actually get defeated. With me having to go to work this afternoon, I may not have the time required to get back into this thing. Even if I can get back in the top 1000, I may not be able to sit and defend my position. Its going to be close.
Burn wrote:So apparently the bosses you face are dependent on your rank and your allies rank.
Which means if you're someone like me who hovered around the 5,000 mark, I had to rely on my allies to be ranked higher and hope when they call for help I'm in the small percentage of their allies list that gets the call.
Of course if you're ranked high ... you get to see those high level bosses more regularly. Thus allowing higher ranked players to increase their lead even further.
Seems legit.
Anyhoo ... I aimed to make it into the top 5,000. When I woke up this morning I was about 5,400. But after scrimping and saving I managed to sneak in at 4,958.
Throughout the episode I also managed to pick up a R4 Trypticon alt and R4 Thundercracker and Grimlock weapons.
All of which are **** compared to episode cards and weapons.
