I wouldn't call you an egotistical control freak that's invested hundreds of dollars into the game though.

Only because I lack the hundreds of dollars part. Lol

I've known you for years, you're so far removed from being anything like our ol mate Rex you may as well be on another planet.

Is that how you got in the VIP club?

J/k, please don't ban me.

I'm not in the VIP club though.

I created a Line account, username That Bot but no Line ID if that matters. I'm getting old and new technology is scary. I'm probably just gonna do it for here so I don't care to learn all the ins and outs of the app, somebody just add me to the thing please.

Can anybody use this?

EPICE

I'm very happy we got Galvatron! So this is awesome. Thanks and good job everybody!

ALl right, so yeah, we got Galvatron

A couple of the Seibs II members came up to Main to get a Galvs as well, saw a lot of great team work there...

Padforce... Padforce!! Where are you?!? Was the big question of the event (I warned Hawaii Ohana not to get too comfortable with you, I'd like you back! )

But now we have sent a few members of the main alliance down to Seibs II to help get some of those prizes, no chance we can get to Galvs again, but we'll try getting as many shards as we can. Any one who wants to hop over there, feel free. Just let me know here (or on Seibs Main), I have to get the tablet and turn on {it takes forever to charge if left on) to approve people.

I've gotta say, putting Galvatron in the middle of a 7-con shuttle and having him flanked by a ton of smaller cons looks really badass

All right, Seibertron Deception Alliance... listen up.

We did great in the event, but next time they have a leader board event, I want to do better.

We discussed this a bit in alliance chat last night, there is no reason that we should not be getting some leader board prizes.

AOE2 and Mayhem Recruits both scored in the top 200 on the board. They are comparable in levels to us. Now they likely spent money on fuel cells and coin to buy out the timers, but I don't see a reason why Seibertron can't make it into the top 300.

We had members we brought up from Seibs II that were in the alliance for less than a day that outscored some, so I know it's it's possible. Kurthy got almost 4000 points despite spending most of his time with Always Hostile. So we can do it with a little effort.

Chaddicus' suggestion (and someone else suggested it as well I believe) of using a 4 bot team and putting them through low levels zones works wonders. Especially when cool down times are insanely high. (I was able to stick so many lower level bots in the research lab this weeken). It allowed me to score better than ever in this event.And every 35 minutes still sent the A team through their suggested zone like I normally would.

We need to start doing stuff like that to push our scores. If you can even just double what you usually get it makes a huge difference.

We also need to start recruiting a little more. We will still get people finding us, but start paying attention to the general chat your in (we're all on different ones). If you see someone looking for an alliance, check them out, direct them to us. If you feel comfortable with it, advertise we are looking. Having 25 people is keeping us from reaching our full potential in events and in wars.

(Shaun, don't you dare say tl;dr )

I really don't get how sending in teams of 4 works. Like, you're still using up the same amount of fuel cells so you're still getting the same amount of points; just over a different amount of time. If it's at the end of the event and you quickly have to use up all your fuel cells then yeah sure, but if you're still using up all 50 then sending in teams of four makes absolutely zero difference. Hell, you'd be sending them into lower level zones so you'd get even less points than if you'd just waited. Logistically and mathematically it just doesn't make a lick of sense to me.

It's the points. In waiting on cool down timers. It works best if you have long cooldowns.

A team gets 65ish points in zone 8, and has to wait 36 minutes to cool down.

Going with 4 bots through zone 6 gives gets 50 points. So on the time I wait for A team to cool down, I can get 35 more points.

During events I always ran all 3 teams, plus swapped out for a 4th team, most of them having to go to zone 6 anyway (only B team can reliably handle zone 7). I go until i'm at about 25-to 30 fuel cells then I charge. Unless I'm going to be away for awhile or asleep, then I try to run them down.

The fuel cells take 20 minutes to recharge, A team takes 36 minutes to recharge. B team over 25 (I for get the exact amount).

So the math in the end... I can get roughly 35 extra points than A team can with the cool down timer with this method.

Aye but then I just use B squad when A squad is on cooldown and then C squad when both of them are on cooldown. And they all recover before all 15 fuel cells can regenerate, so I've lost nothing and I'm actually getting more points.

I did in the past, but I still get more points going through the lower zones


B team has 30+ minute cooldown. I forgot Bludgeon, Stars cream, and Nightbird were all level 40

I'm going to try your suggestions and see what I can do here when it comes to events. Events I do a better job of pulling my weight I feel than wars. In wars, I usually can't make it past the first base and if conditions are ideal I can't make it past the second or third base.

In events I know I've been pulling in more points than my usual due to working my teams up to being higher levels (I have two over a thousand) and choosing higher zones (800 to 1300) as well, but I'm still not coming close to the 2 thousand or 3 thousand marks like the rest of you. That's either due to the recharge/cooldown time on my teams and me getting busy with offline stuff while waiting between team rotations between the three teams.

I'm just breaking it over a thousand and some change. I usually end up within the top 20 or top 15 for the events depending on the variables. I'll try the four team suggestion, farming with them on the lower zones, and split my teams up with that as a result. I'll just have to pair them up in a way that works. I've been a bit focused on making air support my thing or the grenadiers in a decent amount to knock out the shock, beam, and mortar turrets.

Try it..
Not sure if it will work with lower cool downs though but it's worth checking

Honestly my cool downs for my teams range between at least with 2-3 minutes up to 4-5 minutes. Mostly because I haven't gotten anyone over level 30 yet. I'm not really comfortable throwing real money into this game just yet. I mean last couple TF games I've thrown money into didn't exactly end well(*). Plus I'd rather buy figures and food more.

(* - TF Universe, Legends, and Battle Tactics being the ones I'm referring to.)

Yeah, I know what you mean on the money thing with the other games.

Take the Premium Crystal stuff for example in this game. There's no sure 100% guarantee you're going to get a 3 star or 4 star character out of it. You're more likely to either get a dupe 2 star or 1 star, battle boost, or resources. While that is helpful, if I'm aiming for a 3 or 4 star it is very disappointing.

That's kind of why I stopped throwing cyber coins I'd earn into it altogether. Plus I saw some of the stuff said about getting 3 and 4 star shards not being to guaranteed to give you a character you don't already have in the chat. It's added more to the reasons why I'm very reluctant to do it.

I'll have some ideas to share later. I'm too exhausted right now to organize my thoughts.

Premiums should only give characters, not battle boosts (dupes of course breaking down into sparks/resources)

Buying crystals wasn't a bad thing at lower levels when 2 stars weren't bad. I got a number of good bots out of them... and a lot of dupes. But then I've also gotten 3 stars out of free crystals (more than once)


Take a good rest Kurthy! Can't wait for the suggestions though

Oh yeah. You're right about the Premium crystals not giving battle boosts.

I got turned around there, but for sure I was receiving nothing but dupes with the premiums. Free crystals I'm either receiving spark (which is kind of critical anyways) and battle boosts.
