As fun as this game is, I had to take a break (havent played since the event where they had Megatron as a prize) the momment I the event was over and I realized I had spent $189 for a card that would eventually become obsolete as more and more events came out, that's when I had to be $ concious, in order for me to keep up I would have to dish out a minimum of $15-30 (this is me, may be a different amount for others) to have a decent ranking at the end of each event...again it is a fun game, but just be careful you dont get sucked in and start throwing $ and realize you may have spent more than you wanted to :sad:

Unfortunately, I think I am done with this game. I hope if they do a sequel they take some cues from the GI Joe Battlegrounds game. I find there is much more to do there, and more actual gameplay to be had outside the events.

I have been playing Legends for about a month or so now. I have finished all of the missions, gotten all cards from all the missions, and I have a full collection of MTM Rares(the 3s). I now have no reason to play the campaign outside an event besides leveling myself up.

The first event I played was the Megatron prize. Up until this last event I refused to spend money on it. The best points reward I ever got without spending money was a character card and a weapon card. I usually end up just under the 5000 mark on the leaderboards this way, and in earlier events I think the rewards came at lower tiers.

This week I decided to spend some money to see how much it helped. I spend $30 or so on Battle Cube recharges and the event Space Bridge. I ended up with all 3 Airalbots, 1 of them Transcanned and 2 out of the 3 weapons, increasing my deck strength from about 8000 to 11000. I did much better against bosses solo in the first few days, and against bosses in general. And even with all that, I fell short of the rank I normally get without spending money! I have maybe 6 or so Super Rares (4s) with no weapon or Alt mode, rendering them mostly useless, even at max level. I pull a super rare out of the Space Bridge once every MAYBE 400 cards, and the events are they only way to get a lot of Space Bridge draws.

My point here is to give others a heads up. The guy who won this last event got 170 Million points. I think I capped out around 1.5Mil, and ended up in 6000th place. To do well in this game and get worthwhile prizes (At least a card, alt mode and weapon) you have to spend ALOT of money. If you consider I spent $30 and got 1.5Mil, that means the #1 guy must have spent almost $1000 easy!

This has been my experience with the game, and while I apologize if it is lengthy, I hope it helps for people who are considering starting to spend some money on the game.

To bad it doesn't work on a FRELLING Itouch 4... Completely unplayable. Crashes every boss battle and if I touch the space bridge.

doesn't matter the WIFI connection I have 11 gigs free on my TOUCH and only a handful of non base apps...

WANT to play but DEVO message board is littered with the same complaints.

Finally! I thought I was the only one.

For a while, mine only crashed every so often. Ever since the last update, I've also crashed in the boss battles, the missions, and, as you mentioned, the space bridge.

Anybody else stuck like I am? I have gone through four worlds(i guess) each with 3 levels and I do not see a way to move forward from here. If I want to scan for bosses I have to go into levels I have already completed.

That's what you do. You just keep going back and doing missions you've already completed.

by **MGrotusque** » Wed Jul 17, 2013 8:52 pm

Ouch! That Tantrum card art is pretty goofy lookin. Like a WarnerBros cartoon character from the early 90's.
I gave up on this game eons ago.

I just saw this on Twitter, and decided to share it.
I care nothing for the game, but some of the artwork looks amazing.

In case no one has seen the post, they are adding evolved cards. Maybe this is the big overhaul we've all wanted so we can complete are cyberdex. Maybe trading will come with it.

Our friends at DeNA dropped by to let us know about the latest event in their Transformer: Legends mobile device game, "Covert Operations". The new event, which introduces new "Evolution Cards", starts today. Click here to download the app.

TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS will introduce the first Campaign in-game episode called Covert Operations and Evolution Cards beginning today, Wednesday, July 31. Please see details on the latest episode’s storyline and details on the Evolution Cards below.

Who:

DeNA and HASBRO are excited to bring Covert Operations and Evolution Cards and the new episode type Campaign to the popular card battle mobile game TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS.

When:

The TRANSFORMERS: LEGENDS Covert Operations campaign episode is available to play beginning today, July 31 through Tuesday, August 6.

What:
Autobot operations have seen a series of setbacks lately. Each incident in itself may seem harmless, but the Autobots Blaster and Prowl have seen a pattern emerging where every major Autobot operation is slowly hampered and brought to a slowdown. Too delicate for a regular Decepticon ploy, this Decepticon operation is all about stealth, infiltration and hit and run attacks. In a response the Autobots send their best operatives that are the perfect fit to counter this new threat…

New Features:

Evolution Cards – You can now get a new type of cards: Evolution Cards. By merging evolution cards together you create a new card. This new card is more powerful, has new art and inherits a portion of the stats of the previous cards. The card can be evolved 3 times and every max levelled card used gets the 10% stat bonus. Fully evolved cards not only get a special battle bonus, they also play short animations in which you can see them transforming from their alt mode into robot mode!

Campaign Episodes – In the new Campaign Episode you must bring you strongest deck of cards and fight you way through increasingly difficult waves of enemies and bosses!

There are 3 Episode Campaigns; Easy, Medium and Hard. Each Campaign consists of a series of battlefields and missions, each of which becomes tougher while you progress through the campaign. The tougher the enemies, the more points and rewards you earn. Defeated enemy cards can be captured using Energon Nets and Energon Chains. Use these captured cards to improve your deck, level up your cards and complete your Cyberdex. Capturing cards also grant you more points and give extra rewards!

Each Campaign has an unique boss that is an Evolution Card. Clear the battlefields to reach these bosses and defeat them. Then you can capture the card and evolve the card up. On the Hard campaign the battlefields from 5 and up each feature the Evolution Card boss, and the higher the battlefield the higher the capture chance!

does any one even play this rip off for a game any more?

So bored of it now I deleted it.

That art is very 80s looking down to the fact that I can see Blasters left forearm but not his shoulder... :HEADHURTS:

by **ghost_l2yder** » Wed Jul 31, 2013 11:00 pm

I just read that someone spent 30 bucks and didnt get over 1.5mil in score and suggested that the leader must spend a fortune. I hate to tell you dude but I finish every episode with over 3mil in points and usually rank in the 2k area getting me 3 new cards with alts and weapons if you include the points award and I spend ZERO $ ...ever. no battle cubes no bridges. If your spending money and still getting a crap rank your just doing it wrong sorry.

How many hours a day are you playing?

by **Boom.stick** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 12:04 am

Well they just lost a player. I'm done with this garbage. I played this episode nonstop since it started a few hours ago. I added up all the missed points from failed captures. The most points I possibly could have had was just over 6 million. So imagine how pissed I am when I see the leader already has 30 million points.
So I call BS for sure. Mobage can bite my shiny metal ass.

by **Rogueknight** » Thu Aug 01, 2013 9:49 am

Depends on what you want out of it- since starting 5 eps ago, I finish around 4-7000 and I have never dropped a dime and play half-hearted. Time and time again, I hear people pissed they got jack and "I dropped $XXX" and I have double their rankings without a dime. If people are dropping tonnes of money.... suckers, in most cases I'd say they are play with no strategy.

by **MGrotusque** » Fri Aug 02, 2013 12:14 am

I stopped playing eons ago cause i started spending money but i'm curious as to what this "strategy" you speak of that gets you such a high ranking without spending a penny?
Enlighten me.

by **ghost_l2yder** » Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:48 pm

Doesnt really matter now. They changed the whole thing. Seems abolutely pointless to have allies now. This random energon net is total bs. Its pretty obvious they dont want you to enjoy the game they just want money...which isnt going to happen cus now im just gonna stop playing...I have played this game from its first opening day...I have at LEAST 1 card from EVERY episode they put out. But now...its just too much. And they couldnt even fix the pvp part,which is still rediculus.

by **joesaysso** » Sun Aug 04, 2013 4:30 pm

I'd heard that they did a new format to the episodes so I logged in to give it a try. Wow. It is so utterly boring that I could not even play it. Allies are now utterly pointless. Battling has been and continues to be pointless. 3/4s of the games is all pointless.

The description of the episode made promise of new evolution cards. Do you ever get them? I got one for free for joining the episode and then I got the same exact card after completing one of the tiers, I think. Not quite sure what the point of making the same exact card available in the episode was if they give it to you for free anyway. Has anybody played long enough to actually get to a point that the cards that you "net" are actually worth having? Is it just battling and netting 2s and 3s the whole time?

I am going back to being retired. My first impression of this new format is that it isn't worth trudging through the doldrums of the early tiers to get through to the later ones.

sick art

by **Dagon** » Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:21 pm

That Blast Off looks incredible.

I may be the only one, but I'm still playing. Not a fan of the evolution cards, but they could be cool if they go in the right direction. Like I could see this being the way they brought about combiners.
