If I'm reading this the leader board one right,it's individual points, so I'm guessing as you bps, you go up an individual event meter as well.. maybe... seems like the most logical way to do that.

No matter what we'll find out later today

Basically ... your points will count towards the Alliance group total, but also your individual points will be used on the individual leader board.

Giving both rewards to the Alliance and (potentially) the individual. I would imagine this has come about because there are some people who don't want to be part of an Alliance and have been left out of the last two events as such.

Hey guys!

Unfortunately we're unable to run the Strafe vs. Scourge event that was scheduled for this weekend. We have found a critical issue that would prevent the event from being a fair and enjoyable experience for all.

We hope that we will be able to run this event in the near future and will keep you updated on any new information.

Sorry for any inconvenience,

Jodi

Well at least they're proactive enough to identify that it would cause issues instead of running a broken event at least. Still stinks though.

News Credits: 226 · Thu Aug 04, 2016 7:08 am

I wonder if that "critical issue" relates to that cheating I showed them the other week.

News Credits: 191 · Thu Aug 04, 2016 7:09 am

Are you friggin' serious?
Lordly. Do we at least get a different event to replace it?

News Credits: 191 · Thu Aug 04, 2016 7:17 am

Okay, so we are getting a different event this weekend, and it's not a repeat of last weekend.

The game's director, Chris White, was at Botcon 1999.
That's friggin cool.

Wondering that too actually Burn. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case either.

Wonder what the new event is in any case. >:oP

Watching the stream rn.

-New bots are Viper and Sideswipe
-They will be the focus of the event this weekend, including a crystal that guarantees a 2-star Viper or Sideswipe
-Sideswipe's ability is Shattering Charge which works like Fire Rush but gives a glass gas effect to buildings instead; they'll have 40% extra damage dealt by attacks
-Viper's ability is a new one called Acid Rain which costs 5AP to use. Description reads "Strike the area across the target with Acid Pellets. Can deal a total of ---- across all targets."
-Cyclonus - in function and ability - is a Powerglide clone based on his CW appearance
-Hot Spot was also shown off
-The event for Strafe and Scourge, if all goes to plan, should be the weekend after this
-Scourge's ability costs 6AP
-Sideswipe is literally a recolour of Sunstreaker; even the head.

Then why does it say a chance to win him?
Also is it possible to get a 3* or even 4*?

Also anyone know what this is?
I put this in the

Don't know and don't know. I'm just repeating what I heard on the stream.

This is probably going to force me to figure out Twitch and get with the program there. Social media is kind of the last thing I want to usually get wrapped up in. I know I got a Facebook for friends and family though.

The tools box icon is a placeholder for your bp score. I saw it pop up repeatedly during the last event, for a split second then it would become the total BP won in the fight.

You don't need an account to watch; just to comment. Click on a twitch stream and you're there watching.

Unfortunately I can't make it look all slick and cool like Burn and the news team can, but I have the official email.... they are saying guaranteed Sideswipe and Viper.

Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!

Unfortunately we're unable to run the Strafe vs. Scourge event that was scheduled for this weekend. We have found a critical issue that would prevent the event from being a fair and enjoyable experience for all.

We hope that we will be able to run this event in the near future and in the meantime, we will run an alternative event this weekend - Operation Snakebite!
Operation Snakebite Event

Sideswipe's latest covert-operation has been a success... An entire military base of suspicious origin, cut off from the world. However, Sideswipe's recklessness has left a trail, and an unforeseen threat has soon followed.

Viper - we don't know much about him, but it looks like the Decepticons have made an alliance…

New Characters
Sideswipe and Viper will be making their way through the Space Bridge during this weekend’s event!

Sideswipe (Warrior)
Personal safety often takes a backseat to Sideswipe's reckless but brave actions, though don't doubt for a moment that it's number one he's looking out for.
Though less cold-blooded than his twin brother Sunstreaker, Sideswipe will use any dirty underhanded tactic he can think of to come out on top.

But being on Earth has taught him other priorities, like saving innocent species caught in the crossfire.

Shattering Charge - Rush into combat leaving trails of Glass Gas behind. Affected targets take more damage for several seconds.

Viper (Air)
If there's one word that describes Viper it's 'toxic'.

Not only for his serpentine qualities, which include a lightning fast attack, dual transformation and a lethal barrage of acid pellets, but also for his sheer malevolent presence, which seems to infect the mental wellbeing of teammates almost as much as enemies. He's not nice to be around, and he doesn't care. This bot is mad, bad and dangerous to know.

Acid Rain - Strike the area across the target with acid pellets. Deals damage across all targets.

Vipers ability = Skywarps in the beta before he got nerfed to one target only.

News Credits: 3 · Fri Aug 05, 2016 2:29 pm

We have 5 spaces available in the Seibertron Decepticon Alliance. (Yes, Kurona, I'm advertising a bit)

We only ask that members help out on war/events. We are trying to tackle the Gold league now (currently on the last tier of Silver) so we need active players.

If you apply in game, just let us know your a member of the forum, unless Burn knows you, then offer a bribe.
