Ah yes, the fine line between making femmebots that actually look feminine... and being sexist. Great job everyone. With this kind of complaining and bickering, I'm SURE Hasbro will greenlight the Classics Arcee car project.

Luscanun wrote:I'll start this with the caveat that I just started playing the game yesterday. However, despite my inexperience with the game, it seems to me that you're missing something in your considerations. For the sake of argument, I'll assume your math is correct above (not necessarily the formulas, but just the calculations). If you take your 4 TC cards (two bot, two alt mode) for a total attack of 226K, you're using 4 cards, with an attack value of 56,500 per card. If you scan them and get 204K, you're using 2 cards, with an attack value of 102K per card. You've also got two other card slots to fill, and again with an assumption, that would likely exceed the gap you've then created. It seems that if you've got cards that are maxed, you should be able to fill in the gap and exceed the 226K you would have had with the 4 TCs.

Again, new player, not sure about the math behind it all, but 102 is obviously greater than 56 and if you've got some comparable cards (save 10K value), then you could exceed your 4 TC scenario. Maybe it depends on the values in your deck...? If your maximum value for any 4 cards is less than 226K, I'd stick with the four TCs.

Obviously, if I'm looking at this completely backwards, let me know. Trying to figure out some of the intricacies of the game.

Indeed, what you are saying is correct. But here's the things to consider: This is a short term scenario. You've only got 7 days. Once you transcan your cards, they go back to level one. So now you are losing time in your short term scenario leveling your cards back up. Your total damage output will be severly reduced while your leveling your newly scanned card.

Number 2, Regardless of whats in your deck, there is only one 5X damage card per episode. So once you scan both of your TC's, whatever you replace the two cards with, its unlikely they will be able to equal that damage output of a non-scanned 5X card.

What you are saying is surely true for the long term scenario. Having the highest attack value per card is best. But in a short term, episode scenario in which 5X and 3X attack are in play, I'm not certain that its better to scan your cards, there by reducing the amount of cards in your deck that get the bonus and losing time while you level in the process as opposed to leaving your cards unscanned and having more cards in your deck that get the bonus.

I am going to transcan my cards to experiment. Let it be known that prior to the transcan my deck power with the recommended setting is 8182.

Im paralyzed at the moment. I will not lose a bc to Chromia that only earns 5600 points. Time to sit and watch the ranks fall while I wait for better returns on my bc to get here.

Oh and I turned in 8000+ silver medals for 1 rank 4 Prowl and 1 rank 4 Bumblebee....which I think are the lowest rank 4's in the game.

Me too diseptikon, at a stand still. Just trying to use cubes to stay above 300. Seems like calls for help are really slowin down.

Being that you are so high in the ranks, you have that luxary. The last time I did that, it derailed my whole episode. I was thinking the same thing as you but I'm nervous that will hurt me in the long run. Regardless of where my rank ends up, its imperative that I accumulate enough points to earn a Flamewar weapon card.

Thats a good draw. I'm glad somebody has had some luck with the draws. Hopefully 4s start dropping with the gold medals.

This isn't really a luxury. I don't want to not do anything, unfortunately I'm forced to.

The trick is to be at enough points so that when the next wave gets here, you see the highest version of bosses right away. The nice thing is at the lower ranks you can move very very quickly up the ranks so the rank disparity shouldn't dishearten you as long as you're battling the right bosses.

Its good for filling my cyberdex, other than that I have plenty of level 3 cards that are better.

Screw the game, bring on the figures !

They made Arcee adopt the TFPrime colour scheme? Fail.

Just a question. Do my battle cubes and silver/gold episode medals stay after this event is over and then accumulate and can use again when next event comes out?

MINDVVIPE wrote:They made Arcee adopt the TFPrime colour scheme? Fail.

Yeah, I don't know what they are thinking. It's just a drawing, why use Prime color scheme.

paul053 wrote:Just a question. Do my battle cubes and silver/gold episode medals stay after this event is over and then accumulate and can use again when next event comes out?

You get to keep them, however they convert to normal gold medals and are no longer episode gold medals.

Does anybody else play any of the other Mobage card games? I'm curious as to whether or not events in those games are run the same way, i.e. bosses being totally unbalanced snd resources being limited so early on that nothiing happens for days. I only lost 100 spots overnight as I slept. Clearly, more than a few people have dialed it back due to either waiting for the next boss, out of resources entirely, or have just called it quits saving thier resources for the next one.

As someone with zero game development knowledge or experience, I fail to understand why you would organize your event in such a way. I would think that you would want people to be active throughout the whole event.

To follow-up on this discussion a couple days back, I have finished MTMing the 5X Flamewar. As noted in the quote, my deck power with the two individual cards leveled and not scanned was 8182. With the cards now scanned and maxed again, my deck power is now 8382.

So I suppose the results are not a surprise to most here. Maybe what is surprising is just how close the results are. I suppose personal preference would dictate whether it was worth it to pull a card offline for a time to get it leveled back up again.

So ive had a little bit of luck with my r4 draws. Ive pulled soundwave, episode slipstream alt, and trypticon robot with about 7000 silvers.

Havent started gold though.

I just cashed in my golds and got 3 more r4 cards from 600 medals.

Another slipstream alt, another megatron robot, and the regular r4 skywarp robot.

This is strange, maybe they unnerfed the gold medals.

Not tracking how many golds I've gotten so far, a couple hundred I guess, but I've gotten nothing but R2 level fodder from them. I'm not complaining this episode though, as I can use all of the level fodder I can get. I ended up with a complete Episode Flamewar and 2 complete Episode Slipstreams plus whatever I win from the episode at the end. I've got a lot of cards that I'll need to get leveled up fast before the next episode happens.

I think I'm switching up my leveling strategy. I think I'll just keep cashing medals during the episode and use those cards to level up my rewards from a previous episode. Since the first few bosses are so easy and generate lots of silvers, I'll have no problem leveling items and hopefully will have good chances at getting episode cards from the bridge. Hopefully they continue to do double credits and xp in future episodes as it has helped a ton and all my spare cards have gone to credits since I've got nothing to level now.

Hello all I'm new to the game not new to Mobage games ( I play Marvel) and a big transformers fan. This is my first event but I have a few general questions sorry if they have been answered before:

1. Is there any talk of trading in the game ever?
2. Are there pvp events as well where we fight other players or is it all pve?
3. What's the best use of $$ if I was going to spend any on the game? Seems like event packs for guaranteed level 4s

Thanks in advance

AUStarwars wrote:1. Is there any talk of trading in the game ever?

None that I've heard of. In a game such as this one, I doubt they will implemement it. Reason to follow shortly

AUStarwars wrote:2. Are there pvp events as well where we fight other players or is it all pve?

There is PvP in a manner of speaking. Under the "battle" menu, the game pulls up random players for you to choose to battle. How it selects these players I do not know. They may just happen to be connected to the server at that time. You can select to battle any player that you see on the menu. The game then simulates a battle sequence. There is no strategy involved. the other player does not know that you are battling him/her. The other player does not incur a win or a loss on their record in battles that you choose. So I guess the answer to your question is yes and no.

My opinion is that the best use of your money is on the episode space bridges that actually guarantee you something. The regular space bridges are too random to be worth the money and paying money for extra energon refills or battle cube refills just seems extremely wasteful to me given that each one is a dollar and you get almost no value for that dollar. A dollar would buy you about another minute of gameplay.

Since buying cards (or attempts at cards anyway) is the best value for your money in this game, I believe it to be highly unlikely that they will implement a trade feature. Doing so would most likely destroy their largest source of income from the game.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised that they haven't installed a feature to buy in game credits. You need credits to do everything in this game and since they altered the payouts of battle victories, credits always seem to be in short supply.

I got a good old fashioned R3 Elita-1 alt through the free daily space bridge yesterday.

Thanks for the responses!

1. Other Mobage games have both trading and sales from them so I guess we will see. Some even have an auction house where the equivalent of battle cubes are the currency

2. Are there PVP events yet though outside of simply battling someone once an hour? Again every other game does this..that's the real "fun" of the game IMHO

Burn

Do you mean r3 chromia? I dont have elita 1 as an r3 in my cyberdex. Please tell me im not missing out.

Elita 1 is out GAME OVER

So I just discovered that if you look at the rank chart, you can actually tap on the persons name and it brings up their profile. In their profile you can tap "ally request" and add the friends you want using that list.

As soon as I get an opening, I'm finding you guys. I may even kick a few people I have just so I can add you guys, who knows, it may mean we get to help each other a little more often.
