51 Allies ... "Cheer" twice a day and I might earn 200 ally points. Do the math on that!

Battle points ... yeah same's happening with me. No idea what mine is but i've been defeated by someone with 20BP and around 500 wins under their belt (to my 800+) but then turned around and absoloutely trounced (untouched!) someone with 50BP.

I just know that I stopped playing for about 2 days while I recovered from my cold and came back to 200 attacks pretty much cutting my W/L to just over opposed to my 80% from Monday.

The game has always been glitchy though. I never get all of my cheered AP, and the biggest issue I have with the game is the inconsistency with the points aloted to the upgrades.

Has anyone been able to connect today at all? Im stuck at the initializing screen. Yes Ive noticed the ally points never amounted to 10 per ally....seriously though, how long until we get our medals from the event? Its been almost 2 weeks now yes?

I've found that when I can't connect that the quickest way to correct this is to close the app from memory and then go into system apps and clear the cache. This fixes the bug I get from time to time where I get portals and or battle cubes but can't use them. Jellybean and Icecream sandwich.

Ive deleted and reinstalled the app to no avail. I dont have an option to force close it from the manage applications area. I did clear the cache as you recommended however the game still stays at the initializing screen. Oh well, perhaps this is fate telling me not to waste my time any more.

So I no longer have any allies apparently.

And it's taking forever for things to run again. Yay.

40+ allies and yesterday after a few days away from the game I cheered my allies to the total sum of 10 ally points :-?

Not sure whats going on :BANG_HEAD:

News Credits: 226 · Fri Feb 01, 2013 10:46 pm

Well it looked like it was fixed this morning. All 53 allies showed up and I was able to cheer and get 530 points.

Adding allies however ... I only seem to be able to add from a set list regardless of how many times I tell it to search again.

Another thing i've noticed is the money payout on battles. It seems to have been jacked up ... A LOT.

Yeah, I noticed it a couple days ago after the game installed some updated content. I didn't want to mention it and be the one that tipped any devs off, in case it was an unintended error, causing it to get fixed.

I've been battling and spending as much as I can over the last day and a half, just in case it goes away. Maybe its their version of "double xp weekend".

Its very tedious and becoming annoying attempting to level up weapon cards. Weapon cards are extremely too expensive in terms of battle points and are way too rare in the game.

Tue Feb 12, 2013 7:48 am

So it's not just me that seems to be continually stockpiling cash?

Tue Feb 26, 2013 6:39 pm

Wow so my game finally started working again. I noticed there still weren't any medals from the last event yet. Has there been any info I missed when we are supposed to get em? It's been over a month or so yes?

Only thing they've said lately is "server will be down on monday while we do upgrades"

Which they did. And now i'm stuck with a friend request I can't accept.

As do I. Is anybody else getting the cannot update the game error randomly?

Nope. I have it tell me I have a poor network connection.

Which I don't.

I got into the routine of "cheering" once a day, this ensured I got all my ally points in one go.

Not sure what's happened but when I went to do it, I only got a handful of points. If I came back an hour later I was able to cheer some more and so on and so on.

Over the course of 24 hours there's no way i've gotten all 650 points I should be entitled to.

Anyone else have this issue?

Yes same issue here...

Yes, ally points are very broken......again. I also experienced some other bugs over the last week since the last update that like to creep up every time the devs mess with something, like the bug where you have full energon, until you go to use it and then it drops to nothing and says you have to wait 2 1/2 hours for it to recharge.

Nothing good came from the last update at all. Not a single good thing. What we did get was old bugs that refused to stay fixed and a game thats runs rougher and slower than ever. All of this has killed my motivation to play the game. I was hoping to get to play another event with the better deck of cards that I have but between the glitches and the utter ridiculousness that is leveling up weapon cards, I don't think my interest is going to last until a next event.

Yeah I can't trans scan cards when they are out of my deck. The game thinks they are but I've removed them and put something else there. Still can't do anything.

Tue Mar 12, 2013 1:44 pm

Was anyone aware of this? I asked support about when will I get my medals from the last event and this was the response I received.

"The medals are only available when an event is in progress. Your medals are still there, you just won't be able to see them until we hold another event. I suggest you follow @mobage on twitter or check our Facebook page to stay current with all Mobage news and updates."

I think I am just done playing this game. The other night I figured out how the game determines battle points awarded and it just pissed me off.

Until recently I was unaware that battle points awarded to you are based on YOUR deck of cards, not your opponents. Basically, the better your cards are and the more favorable you match up with your selected opponent, the LESS points you are awarded.

I found this out the other night after I had used my battle cubes. Then I realized that I forgot to spend some cards. So I spent and leveled up my Kickback. By the time I was done with that, I had earned another battle cube so I went to spend that too. I noticed that some of my opponents, who I just battled, had their points reward change slightly. I put 2 and 2 togther quickly and realized my Kickback leveling up had impacted the points reward. So on a hunch, I cashed in some bronze warrior medals that I had been saving. I replaced 3 of the cards in my hand with the 3 lowest cards that I got from the space bridge. Then, when I went back to the battle screen and I saw that reward points jumped dramaically. People that were giving out only 25 points were now giving out 44 points because I made my hand crappier.

Immediately it ticked me off. I rationalized this particular aspect of the game as the game punishing you for playing it. You get less points for playing the game and making your cards better. Whats the point of playing then?

Weapon cards are already overly tedious to level up to the point of ridiculousness as it is. On top of that, as you level up your cards, it gets even worse so. And, as it turns out, there's no point in doing it because the game rewards you more for going into battle with a bunch of lvl 1 Huffers instead of the good cards that you worked to level up.

The glitches and general dumbness of certain parts of the game have killed my interest in it. I has hoping to put a good deck together to be more competitive in the next event. Now, I just don't care.

News Credits: 226 · Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:15 am

I once ran across an opponent who had a first line of Huffers.

I thought to myself "you poor bastard" ... now I get why.

On the plus side, I must be **** awesome given that most of my opponents pay less than 10.

Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:46 am

Yeah, I believe I ran into that guy too. That's why I used that example. I want to say his top 3 cards were all maxed out event Mirages. I remember laughing at his deck wondering what the heck he would have such a stupid hand. I figured he was trying to be spiteful and make his points lower. Turned out he was trying to make his opponent's points higher. His 3 card hand beat me everytime, incidentally.

Its dumb. This is one of the least rewarding games I've ever played.

Thu Mar 14, 2013 3:39 pm

Not that I'm an ardent fan of this game right now, but it's not that big of a deal how bp awards are determined. Either way you cut it, the game looks at your cards versus your opponents cards and does some sort of statistical analysis of your likelihood to win, then provides the amount of bp in relation to that percentage. Obviously higher percentage chances receive lower rewards. This guys stacking strategy sounds interesting but I sincerely doubt he is winning against high yielding bp opponents (lower stat chance) to make up any sort of tremendous gain in bp. There probably exists an "ideal" team to maximize bp with winning percentage however that requires far more effort than this game is worth.

I still cannot trans scan cards after reinstalling, clearing data and removing the .ngmoco folder and the "support" team had me full out a bug form because their copy/paste answers didn't work on this issue.
