Hi peeps...
just wondering did anyone of u guys encounter the problem of diminishing money recently... ??
Somehow my money is dropping after missions and arenas which i cannot seem to fathom recently (these few days).
Is there a bug or something ??

have you set CR to automatic?
there's a percentage charge added on to the original cost if this is the case so your probably not earning enogh per mission to avoid a loss of energon
either switch to manual or wiat a while, you'll probably start earning enough soon, try going for missions where you are the highest possible level

I have a diminishing money problem in my checking account since the TF movie toys have come out.
Maybe if I blame in on a bug in the system my wife will understand.
Hmmm....

have you recently moved some of you're bots up a level? and are you playing them more than the lower top of the level bots?
if so you're likely to be taking a pasting at this new level while you've benched your lower "top of their level bots" who can are most liekly to be you're energon earners.

Me: But it's my money and it's a Transformer.

Yeah, but I might not be able to do much, considering the fact that only 3/9 of my 'Bots don't have a retired alt-mode. I think I should also take a more careful look at who's in the missions as I consider which to put my people in.

Steve is right.
You have been assimilated.
Sleep is irrelevant.
Real life is irrelevant.
Your mind will adapt to serve the game.
Resistance is futile.

there is one radical way of getting you cash sell off your battle blades. lvl 2's don't have the capability of making them work properly

Pah! if you didn't then you wouldn't use his name.
Anyways, I came across the loss of energon when I came up on 2nd level. The best thing to do is rethink your character set ups, the second best is to stay on the high end of a level for a while and collect xp/energon until you can gain a few upgrades on the next level all at once.
Not playing HMW won't solve your problem anyways. But now that we've got energon donation I'm sure someone will be sucker enough to help you out.

Thats not the point actually abt the donations part... its more like the game is fundamentally unfreindly towards newbies in new levels.
Besides, my lvl 2 are not really newbies and they cant seem to win battles that easily as before. I am not rallying for dropping the the difficult of battles... I am actually rallying for the drop in CR cost...
Say maybe even when I lose a battle i do not have to get a deficit in my Energon Wallet man....
Anyone second that ?

you've got 3 medics both below level 3?! are you nuts, that's instant energon loss right their even with 10 int the fact they'll have a hard time finding a target with enough end to make it worth while.
secondly once you get above 2str, unarmed beats the xray for damage.
I'd also look at your tactic/non-tactic damage ratios, if you do more damage with your non tactics than tactics there is no point in having them, as you've got both dols and blades this really pushes the threshold for minimum tactic damage up.
most of your guys seem to have 3 strength and you are unlikey to have many bots with end at level 2 so you'll be hitting for about 30% if you're strafes can't hit that high drop them entirely.
there's no point whinging about CR being too much it's the same for everyone, and lots of people have made it past level 2 you've got decent weapons, so that leaves 2 possible explanations for your troubles; either your setups are bad, or you're being stupid with mission deployment and going suicidal too often.
