Seconded, the shards are nice.

Behaviour improvements to all bots - When retargeting, bots are more likely to attack defensive bots than nearby buildings

Less ADD from the Insecticons?

Less Breakdown running after build bots?

Can we say.... yay!

I'll believe it when I see it. I have no doubt they will still walk past weapons just to get to a defensive bot. Here's a thought, have them target the closest thing attacking them!

That would maybe be a baby step up from the current system where they attack the closest building, period. I predict bad results, though, if you skip some weaponry on your rush to the HQ and the AI decides to attack the Laser turret on the other side of the base that is well out of range to hurt you rather than the HQ a few squares away.

And i'm going to bring up something pointed out in the line chat. If each prestige is only 50 rubies, and you get 20 prestiges, and roughly 8-10 rubies per fight.... that's only a few fights from each member of the alliance to max the event, and we're probably locked out of the event zones after, so no more double XP. Pending a correction by Space Ape, the best strategy seems to be for everybody to break away from the alliance and found their own for the event until they get to prestige 20 or the end of day 3, then rejoin the main and we'll finish together.

But this is, again, pending word from Space Ape.

According to Kurthy, from the Twitch feed... this weekend is an individual event, not an alliance event, but you must need not be in an alliance

New Characters
This weekend Hot Spot and Cyclonus are making their way through the Space Bridge to join the fight on the battlefield!


Hot Spot
"Never ask anyone to do what you won't do yourself" are practically the words Hot Spot lives by.

He leads by example, always striving to be the best he can be, but never puts himself above those in his command.

You'll find him at the forefront of any battle charge, howling his defiance, cannons blazing, and even when the victory is won, he never truly stands down, always ready to serve... and protect.


Reflective Shield - Put on a protective shield that reflects 50% damage back to the attackers for several seconds, then charge the target. Attracts defenses!


Cyclonus
Though both intelligent and awesomely powerful, Cyclonus is also a cold and consummate professional, one who oozes contempt aimed at those who would undermine the Decepticon cause for personal advancement.

He'd rather earn the respect of his fellow Decepticons through his actions than simply by flexing his muscles.

In both space jet and robot mode he's one of the most physically powerful warriors in existence.

Bombing Run - Drops 12 bombs in a line across the target dealing damage.

330,000

nope nope nope nope nope nope nope n





Anyway, nice to see Cyclonus finally arriving. Finally, another Lost Lighter

I was thinking this was an alliance event, where we collectively add to the total and thus 60 prestige would be reasonable. Was I mistaken?

And if I am mistaken, that doesn't bode well for this weekend when I'll have negligible free time to play the game and earn crystals.

Well all we have to do is as much as we can. They set these high so the hardcover people don't blow through it too fast.

We'll fill out the ranks by bringing those that are very active from Seibs II, whatever space we have left we can pick up stragglers (sometimes they turn out to be keepers!). And just do our best. We'll still get crystals, just not 60 of them.

Partially correct.

They set it high so that the likes of Synergy dump tens of thousands of dollars into SpaceApe's coffers.

I know, I know. Not saying we won't do well; was mostly going all "nope nope nope" at the 330,000 as a joke

Okay, well, yes, that IS what I was thinking, I was being diplomatic. :p

**** diplomacy.

That would be un-lady-like of me.

I know, I know, I'm not known for being.terribly lady-like.
