Careful Burn, we already have a thread dedicated to arguing over the manliness (or lack thereof) of myself! :lol:

Besides, There is only two things my iPad doesn't do: create MS Word documents, and play Transformers: Legends. I am holding Star Wars tech in my hands, my friend.

So not including the previously mentioned already used silver and gold medals, I ended the campaign with 573 silver and 1732 gold

As said before, I finished the campaing with 572 silver medals and 1732 gold, which does not include any previously used medals during the episode.

I already cashed in the silver medals and got no rare 4 cards and 13 rare 3 cards.

I cashed in all my gold medals. Before I list what I got, I did notice that mopage made a facebook post that stated until April 15th, it was still possible to pull the episode rare 3 dirge and rare 4 thrust cards, which excited me.

Drumroll please.....

Rare 4 cards
Megatron R
Prowl A

Rare 3 cards

53 total cards, including 2 rare 3 episode dirge R

So there are the results, which were very similiar to the insecticon episode. During that I only got rare 4 thundercracker R and rare 4 arcee A with the same ratio of rare 3s to medals.

Also, I posted the amount of medals I used during the episode was about 2200 silver and 20 gold, of which I got about the same amount of rare 3 and no rare 4. Maybe the silver medals have a lower chance of getting rare 4? Or maybe the odds are the same and It took roughly 4300 medals to produce two rare 4 cards.

Any opinions?

1732 gold? :shock:

nice effort.

My only level 4 came on the first day of the event. Arcee R. And it was off of silver.
I bridged my final 50 gold last night and came out with three lvl 3's all of which I had.
I would have expected you to get a few higher cards with that amount of gold. doesn't seem right. :-?

Sat Apr 13, 2013 7:24 pm

My opinino remains unchanged. The gold medals ar the highest rewards of the event (aside from your prize) and they should yield more rare card drops. In my view, it shouldn't even be close. Gold medals should drop way more 3s and 4s than silver and bronze do. Right now, they don't seem to and I fail to see the point of them.

Hi all ...upon reading what everyone got this week I figured I'd post mine for the episode I didnt really count 3s i already had campaign or otherwise but id guess it to be in the 25-35 range new 3s I got were Ultra Mag A Ironhide A Soundwave Ax3 Ep Dirge Ax3 Prime A Prowl Rx2 Prowl A Shockwave Rx2 Starscream A and then there were the 4s Metroplex R EProwl R EIronhide R from my silvers approx 1200 of em ...my approx. 400-450 gold brought nothin of note in the 3s some campaigns and a few non that I already had but my last gold netted an Ep Thrust R good haul for the eposode I think..... pushed my deck over the 6200 mark and go nicely with my max/max Grimlock Megs and maxed 4 Starscream ... Hoping the next episode is soon

Hey anyone else finding themselves getting wrecked in battles since the most recent update?

I went from about a 3 to 1 win ratio to losing 11 of 13 since the update.

Its basically useless to have a battle and extremely frustrating.

I have given this game a LOT OF SLACK but this new battle system is absolutely ridiculous and could be the last straw if they don't straighten it out pretty quickly.

Wed Apr 17, 2013 6:57 pm

I don't finding myself losing more battles. Its mostly the same results for me. I do find battles more annoying to watch these days. It seems battles are more driven by a turn for turn exchange that seems to slow them down. I'm "skipping" alot more battles than I used to.

I'm still pretty frustrated with the seeming 22 point, 1700 credit cap that has been introduced in the battle. I've essentially given up on leveling weapon cards entirely as its not worth the time and effort. I battle now only to keep earning credits to level my character cards in advance of the next episode.

I foresee a time very soon where my deck is all leveled and the only time I play this game is when an episode is happening. As the game stands in its current state, there is just no good reason to keeping battling. Problem 1: It takes too long to earn battle points. Problem 2: It takes too long to earn weapon cards. Problem 3: It takes too long to level weapon cards. Problem 4: The stat increase you get from taking a weapon card from level 1 to level 10 just isn't enough to endure the first 3 problems.

I don't know what the developers are thinking here. I know the point of the game is for me to spend money on it. But none of the changes they have made recently make me want to spend money. They just make me want to stop playing.

Battles haven't gotten easier or harder for me if I use a max team.

I went back to the huffer trick, so now I'm being put with weak teams but they are all still worth 22 pts, so i'm winning every battle.

Something else I've noticed, I usually spam the starscream mission for his weapon (the one with hound, sludge, and swoop as cards). Since they did the update that increased our robot card cap to 200 and weapon cap to 100, I've battled him 12 times and not got his weapon, but he is now rewarding credits, 3 different values I've noticed, don't remember how much each but its 1700 or less so far.

I'm wondering if they made it where you can't get anymore copies of the weapon after you've gotten it from them once.

Can someone please tell me that's not the case, if it is, I'm done trying to level weapons.

If that's the case then they're **** idiots.

Earning battle points is now a joke (remind me why I should be losing to someone half my level?) and now this?

This is why I've played it once this week. There's just no reason.

So for all of you crying out "Bring it to iOS!" ... you're not missing anything.

Thu Apr 18, 2013 3:32 pm

Burn, what is your gamertag for this game?

I've been keeping an eye out for joesaysso and I would like to look for you as well

It would be awfully convenient if they would add back the ability to search for people by name

Also, they are starting the new robots in the skys episode today

Im excited an all because it gives me something to look forward to but I feel bad for all the people that are low level or miss out on episodes.

Maybe they should consider running the episodes with a scale based on your available max deck power or level or something.

This way, low level people would have a better shot at getting a 1-100 rank because they are competing with people like them.

Maybe that takes too much server resources but my opinion is people would enjoy this game more if they felt like they constantly were moving forward with something to work on like leveling up a new card.

News Credits: 226 · Thu Apr 18, 2013 3:45 pm

What do you consider low level?

Because i'm level 139, and I have to face off against people that are around level 50 and have rank 4 Thrust cards (and some other rank 4 non-episode cards).

And I go by "dilborgenator", good luck finding me, like you said, you should be able to add the people YOU want not total random strangers.

Thu Apr 18, 2013 5:01 pm

I guess player level is not really a good way

Here is an example, my best deck is around 7200 pts.

I currently do the huffer trick and keep 3 good leaders so my deck pts go down to 2000

This enables me to battle people around 2000 pt decks so I can win a lot

When I posted earlier, I said BEST AVAILABLE DECK.

So even if I tried to do the huffer trick to be put in an episode of people with decks of 2000 pts, I wouldn't be able to because I have much better cards available that bring my deck value up to 7200. This would prevent me (hopefully) from abusing episode ranks.

And just so it wouldn't cause people to be forced into using their best deck even if they aren't going to participate, they have an opt in option to do an episode, like a tournament.

When you opt in, you get evaluated on your best configuration for the tournament.

Maybe this is a completely bad idea, I just feel that if a new player is put with a bunch of new players with easier bosses, they would have more fun than trying to keep up with the players that already won the insecticon episode and seem to be the people who are going to keep winning because of the already maxed cards they have.

Opinions and thoughts everyone? Feel free to call me a dumb***, I take criticism well.

Thu Apr 18, 2013 6:29 pm

The event has started. Not much to report after one full energon bar worth of scanning for bosses. I faced 4 or 5 bosses, the best of which being a level 2 Acid Storm. I'm confused about why the top rewards are rank 4 Thundercracker and Skywarp. Wasn't there already Rank 4 TC and SW in the deck? I'm saving my gold medals until the end this time (I think) and cashing in my silvers as I go to level up other cards.

Thu Apr 18, 2013 6:40 pm

And the first thing I noticed is that they are giving all Rare 4 cards x2 attack

Great for everybody that has a bunch of Rare 4 cards

Here is what pisses me off about that, everybody that won shrapnels and bombshells from the insecticon episode seem to be the ones that also won snarls and slugs from the dinobot episode.

This buff just further supports everyone that has those cards (not to mention the mirages and thrusts that people purchased) will be the one's that have no problem with the bosses later on and will win the rare 4 cards of this episode.

I guess I should stop pissing and moaning about it and just go try and win something.

Good luck to everyone

Burn, I hope you severely beat the crap out of many using that fatty Megs of yours.

joesaysso, Primus-speed to you as well.

Thu Apr 18, 2013 6:49 pm

just cashed in some medals, your allowed to do 20 at a time now

2 rare 3 cards in first group

Thu Apr 18, 2013 6:58 pm

I did notice they expanded the rewards quite a bit, now everyone in the top 2000 will get at least 1 rare 4 card.

Admittedly, I wasn't paying much attention, I did not notice the buff for super rare cards. I own 3, none are transcanned and only one is good enough to make it into my main deck. Could be a good thing if Super Rares actually drop from the space bridge.

Agreed on the pissing and moaning part. The last event completely erased any expectations that I had built from the Insecticon event. I'm starting with a clean slate and expect to experience much of the same things, for better and worse, from the dinobot event. With this set of expectations, I can't get let down too much. I usually like the first few days of the episode, as they allow me to get some cards leveled fast. Beyond that, if I get a good prize or pull a super rare out of the bridge, they'll just be nice bonuses.

Good luck to Team Seibertron. Monuo and Burn (dilborgenator), I'll be looking for your names in the coming days when co-op starts. I'll be there if your call for help comes my way.

Ya, I've actually got the robot mode to thundercracker maxed, his stats started at 2261/5200/401 and ended at 5969/12000/1608.

The reward thundercracker robot starts at 4450/880/505.

So I guess the new plan is to bastardize the original rare 4 cards that people have paid so much money and worked so hard just to obtain. Also, the new thundercracker has a weapon call thundercracker's weapon 2.

I just noticed that not all my rare 4 cards are getting the bonus.

Only snarl (ya I got one) and arcee, my thundercracker and megatron aren't. I wonder if its only the episode and special rare 4 cards that get the bonus.

Does anyone else have bonuses on their rare 4 cards?

Thu Apr 18, 2013 7:40 pm

I went to the guaranteed rare 4 bonus spacebridge and watched the preview cards spin around for a awhile and what I noticed was only the Rare 4 Autobots were showing with the bonus.

I bet since we are battling decepticon jets that only the rare 4 autobots get bonuses.

Can anyone confirm or disprove that?

Burn, does your Megs get the bonus?

Thu Apr 18, 2013 7:58 pm

It is only the rare 4 autobots getting the 2x bonus for this event.

Also, the rewards are event rare 4's which are different from the standard rare 4's.

My rare 4 skywarp has different art than the episode rare 4 reward.
