So to all you with the fancy bases and lots of 3 star bots, have you just been grinding the game 24/7 since it released 2 weeks ago, or was the international release earlier, or did your beta progress carry over somehow? What is your secret?

Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands have had it for months, and the two Autobot scum over there have been playing the beta and had their data rolled over.

Man, what's a bot gotta do to have the data roll over? Maybe the fact that I wasn't technically supposed to be in the Beta is a factor, but still, i was there and I had a lot of stuff, and didn't really appreciate starting from scratch except when it came to the obstacles.

I'm getting quite into this game which is great as I've never been a big mobile gamer at all. My son plays all the mobile games on our iPad and yeah I've been fighting him for time lol. Upgrading my base right now but am trying to avoid the temptations of buying coins

Popped into the beta again briefly. I miss my bots.

How did you guys get your beta data transferred? Should I email them? Or since I played the beta in a country it wasn't made available in, am I just SOL?

Just shoot them an e-mail. Their support is pretty quick.

Yeah, but sometimes they don't seem to actually read my email. I tried to report a visual glitch with Ratchet, where when I attacked another base, sent him in, and he transformed, his vehicle mode front stays on his stomach, when it should be going to his back. I sent them an email about it, but the person who replied just explained what Ratchet is and how medics work.
...not all that helpful.

I had (have) a problem with Long Haul displaying, contacted them about it, they responded that they were aware and would be fixing it shortly. Two weeks later, no fix, contacted them again and they responded almost immediately. Try them again.

You kicked me, Burn? Good grief. A guy has to sleep and work :p

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Wed Jun 15, 2016 10:49 pm

Hell no. It must have been that other guy. Join up again and I'll make sure you're not kicked.
-edit-
It was the other guy, after he removed you he demoted himself.

Hahah, will do. When I get home in the morning. Sadly can't play the apps at work. (But I can still goof around on the internet!)

So, my alliance has been having difficulties with a glitch. We're working it out with the devs, I just wanted to check if it's just us. My alliance, the 'Wreckers', cannot be found. Whenever people search, it seems to show up for a fraction of a second before disappearing, and people haven't been able to join. Anyone else have this problem?

Did I miss something? Why did he do that? Random culling? :lol:

You need to get into the firewall and configure it to allow your device through.

Not that I had to do that here at work myself. :WHISTLE:

Does anyone know the percentage rate of the items in the free crystal?
I've been getting Orbital Strike Mk 1 & 2 for the past ten crystals.
I thought I couldn't be that unlucky in this game. Lol

by **Gaudreau** » Thu Jun 16, 2016 12:24 am

Oh yes you can be that unlucky. I had dupes of the same toon 3 times in a row. That would demoralize anyone. That said, on my free crystals I just got a 1 star Fire Flight. Better than a boost I guess

But then I might lose my 2 star Bonecrusher and Slipstream, as well as all the opstacles I've chosen not to clear out in my new playthrough.

Basically I can't win. Should've asked to transfer data at the beginning and then I wouldn't be in this situation.

This is just speculation about free crystals, but I've found I have better luck scoring bots when I pile up the crystals before cashing them in. I had 16 and used them all in one run. I scored a 3-star, 2 2-stars, and 4 new 1-stars I didn't already have.
Also, get used to duplicates, it happens all the time.

I was under the impression that the crystals worked in a rotation. Ability, Spark, Bot, repeat. Maybe not in that order, but that's what I observed since they merged character and powerup crystals into the free daily crystal.

Not for me. I've been getting a ton of Abilities and Sparks in a row with not even a duplicate to break it up for another like 5 crystals or something.
Really close to getting a 2-star Crystal though so that's nice.

On a completely different note why is Mixmaster so **** destructive? He's like my best unit besides Megatron. Scrap that he's probably my best unit period; I was lucky to get a 3-star one but even then... jeez. His ability is too much

Sent them an email, here's the reply.

I call shenanigans if what you said is true about other players having their progress transferred.

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Thu Jun 16, 2016 2:57 pm

I poked a little more and they said this.

It is possible to generate a recovery code for an account, but is not possible to transfer that account from Beta to the live game. If your friends were playing before the global launch in New Zealand, Australia and the Netherlands (not the Beta version that is available in Malaysia and the Philippines), then the account was automatically transferred.

That's the end of that I suppose. I'll have to rebuild my army.

Which Beta were you playing? I'll shoot an e-mail to our contact and see if I can get something done for you.

So I finally got enough 2-star shards and redeemed them for my new 'con.
Of all possible Decepticons I could have gotten. I got Thundercracker. My favourite character in the entire franchise.
So I am pretty happy about that. Though I am confused that in the shuttle he's shown pulling out a couple of guns that sort of look like the Generations WFC Thundercracker's guns but not exactly?
