The Energon Pub

I cant seem to keep ANY Energon at all Its like every round its just sucked out of me, so trying to keep funds to upgrade even armor has become impossible, is there anything that can be Done in the sake of balance? I know HMW2 is soon but before that Advent can we get something in the trenches here to help us out?

Unlike the real world, we fat cats have no compunction in just giving you money to get in there and throw yourself into the machine. 50k going your way.

hey randy,...you really should have checked to make sure he didn't earmark that cash for bonuses to the CEO's of his team to make sure that the funds actually GET to the armor and weapons like they need to :lol:

wait, thats right we're autobots not the government, so way to go with sticking with our Autobot Stimulus Plan :-)

ok, I'm goin back to listening to music and waitin on Beasties in the missions to show their ugly mugs :-)

What I did to keep my energon up was reset half of my guys to Level 0 and kept sending them to the arena. A 2 speed, 2 avoid or a 3 speed 1 avoid set up is pretty good for keeping your energon levels up when you send the rest to missions. I know the Arena is a may not be an attractive option or even liked by some, but can be a good thing to keep energon levels up.

I did a similar thing to what EP did. My bots were a little higher so I kept 6 of mine max upgrades into level 1 and used them as arena bots while my weak level 2s battled in missions.

Now that most of my bots have gotten higher in levels the energon is starting to flow into my account instead of draining.

I also had an infusion of energon from electron a couple weeks back which helped alot when I needed to upgrade some weapons. Most higher levels are more than happy to help with energon if needed and with suggestions on configuration of your bots if you have any questions.

Yea tell me where I am going wrong, I thought exp based levels was on so I couldn't go back to level 0 like the Old days...

It depends on where your xp is at. I can't remember the cutoff for Level 0.

I think most of my level 1s have 50k exp now

All I can say is reset one and see if it is set at Level 1. If not, then go ahead and set some good Level 0s. If it is still a Level 1, then go back to your old set up or find a better one. Probably one that utilizes speed and avoid. Just make sure that if you do it to one with an alt mode you like, check to make sure it is still in the alt mode list else you have to wait for it to rotate back in.

I did my own research. I reset my lowest guy, who is at 52k. He was still set at a Level 1. Psychout informed me that the cutoff may be at 40k. That seems to be about right doing my own reset.

So it looks like you will either have to suck it up or find some better setup. Go with stuff that has avoid, plus invest in speed as well along with the avoid. That has worked for me in keeping up my energon reserves.

I posted the xp cutoffs for the levels (0-6) in the Iacon Index.

before the blackout the cutoffs weren't working, i had a few level 0's at 60000, since the black out they have taken affect and kicked me up to where I was supposed to be
