Transformers: Earth Wars Event "Zeek and Destroy!"

Yay! More Energon! Just what I needed!

It's been around 2 weeks since I finally had a mobile. I installed that game, of course. However, after all those wait-for-countdowns, paywalls, and BUY VIRTUAL GARBAGE FOR PREMIUM PRICES constant pop-ups, I deleted that game.

Sure, the graphics are nice and the characters masterfully designed. But your bots are completely wetawds and you have NO controls appart the "special ability". And pass the first two campaign missions, your only hope to progress is to either give a kidney, or wait forever.

I'm playing Nintendo's Fire Emblem Heroes instead. This game is much, MUCH better.

Sounds like someone couldn't work out the strategy behind the game.

Free. Plus microtransactions

Oh, I did started to play well and understand some subtleties. But the real goal is to get stronger and to collect bots. To do so is either wait forever or pay an absurd price.
And all that grinding was boring me out of my mind.

---------

As for Fire Emblem Heroes, it's FREE. Sure, there's way to be more powerful quicker by paying, but there's plenty of gameplay. FUN gameplay.
You do need a Nintendo account though. But if you already own a 3DS, Wii-U or Switch, you may already have one. You'll just have to link it to your mobile.

---------

I did tried a few other mobile games, but most all boil down to wait-n-pay. I flushed all of them. Only Fire Emblem remained.
Also, A Girl Adrift. Because kawai anime girls chain fishing is mind-numbly fun.

That's the nature of mobile games. You either wait, or you coin.

At a certain point the building upgrades take so long you stop caring. Raid for resources and upgrade your bots. That's the bread and butter. Does it take 40 minutes for my A-team to recharge? yes. It also takes 2 weeks for my buildings to upgrade. what do I do in the meantime? Raid, raid, raid. Once I cycle through all my teams and come back to A to find them still cooling down, I do something else for 10-15 minutes. You don't have to pay, the game is what you make of it.

And that's exactly why I uninstalled it. I became so bored.
Glad I didn't paid a single cent.

To each their own. Naturally not everybody is going to find it enjoyable, but some of us like it. Enough seem to like it that it's profitable to SpaceApe.

I bet TF Earth Wars have it's fare share of whales!

Big spenders? Oh yeah. The top 6 alliances are full of 'em.

And since my base is in zone 13 now (even though I can't hit z13 yet myself) I get raided by them periodically. Like this guy.

I'll probably play this one whats in the event crystal tho

Who, or what lies in the far future?
Grimlock never one to shy away from a challenge has decided the Time Continuum has the answer.
What could possibly go wrong...



Primal Call

Long-distance pals
The Time Continuum is fragile and should not be messed with by the inexperienced... The simplest variation within the Universal Timeline can result in unforeseen (and most likely dreadful) consequences.

Grimlock might be the smartest Dinobot, but bringing new allies from a distant future is a task best handled by brains much bigger than his... Blissfully unaware of the risks, Grimlock pushes head on into a web of intrigue way beyond his comprehension.

• Last week we received reports regarding an issue with the increased deploy range of Soundwave and Blasters minions.
  This issue has been resolved and the fix will be released in an upcoming update. Thanks for all the reports.

• As you're aware, we recently made a change to the Combiners special ability Rush & Smash to stop them charging through the map which involved the ability to target other bots being disabled.
  We have been testing a build which has the ability to target bots again and we're happy to say the fix will be released in an upcoming game update.

• We received multiple reports regarding the Alliance War won leaderboard sometimes shows stars instead of medals.
  Thank you for reporting this. A fix has been found which will be released in a future update.

These are just a few examples of the reports that we've received from you, and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.

I just started playing A Girl Adrift in the last week, super cute game.

Fun thing about Fire Emblem Heroes, there is easy access to earn their premium in-game currency (orbs), in-game, and is easily do-able without endless grinding. Plus you can upgrade units to the next rarity level (one stat to two star, etc)-something Earth Wars *won't* do.

The 7 day upgrades are already too long for me.

My upgrades cost so much that I'm glad I'm only starting them every few days.

Now I can take 6 units into battle. This makes me very happy. Base takes FOREVER TO UPGRADE. Maxed my 3* Soundwave. If you're a Decepticon and looking for a new home, join Death Seekers. Going strong for a month now.

Wait, you just got the 6th shuttle slot, but you also maxed out a 3* bot? And you're complaining about upgrade times? Something doesn't add up here.

King Kuuga wrote:Wait, you just got the 6th shuttle slot, but you also maxed out a 3* bot? And you're complaining about upgrade times? Something doesn't add up here.

Like what? I'm not on the game 24/7.

You only get the 6th shuttle slot at HQ8, upgrades are less than 24 hours at that point, and 3* bots don't max until level 50, which you can't get to until the HQ12 upgrade. So I think you are mistaken about your Soundwave and blissfully ignorant about how long upgrades are going to be. To put it inperspective, I'm dealing with 14 day upgrades right now and my highest bots are level 48.

|Depends on how the term "unit" is used, as it can be used to describe both a single entity and a squad.

We need further clarification.

14 days?! By Primus!! Sheesh. Guess my Soundwave can upgrade again then at some point! Whoa! Thanks for the intel. ^^

Bots can upgrade every 10 levels, up to their max.
1 stars: level 20
2 stars: Level 40
3 stars: level 50
4 and 5 stars: level 60

You can upgrade your research lab at the following levels:
Lv 1 (10-11): HQ4
Lv 2 (20-21): HQ7
Lv 3 (30-31): HQ10
Lv 4 (40-41): HQ12
Lv 5 (50-51): HQ15

Thanks again. You're a cool guy.

Question for those that have had 'em for a while, how many level's can you upgrade the combiners?

I believe I've seen guys with level 11 combiners in my current alliance chat

Wow, that's pretty impressive

Step to the Future

Blackarachnia claims to be investigating the temporal portals that abducted Megatron and Optimus Primal.

Her true intentions are still to be unveiled.



Arachnophobia

The Maximals and Predacons have been leaderless and directionless since Optimus Primal and Megatron entered the time-space portal.

Due to this exceptional situation, Cheetor agrees to meet with Blackarachnia to discuss a temporal truce between the factions. She wants to analyze the remnants of the portal to uncover its origin and true nature.

But Cheetor is suspicious of her true intentions. Could there be a sting in the tale?

Under Investigation

• We’ve had reports regarding bots who are assigned to an outpost that would follow aerial bots after they use a tank rush Special Ability on them such as Fire Rush and so on.
  Thanks for all your reports, we’ve now been able to fix this. You should notice this no longer happens. Any strange behaviour, please let us know.

• Lot’s of reports regarding replays not being viewable.
  This issue is actually down to Android and IOS versions of the game being released at slightly different times. Once both platforms are at the same version you will notice replays will work as intended again.

• There have been reports that Combiners could be causing people to crash or get disconnected during a battle.
  We’re actively investigating this, and if anyone has a similar issue we would like to hear from you. If you have any steps which could help us reproduce this behaviour that would be very helpful.

These are just a few examples of the reports that we've received from you, and we continue to work hard to improve your experience with the game every day.

AAAAHrachnophobia!

Are you afraid of spiders? You should be! Get your very first look at BLACKARACHNIA and CHEETOR. Plus Dan's the man with the giveaways, don't miss it!

Catch Dan, Adam, and Deb LIVE on Thursday, 31st August @ 4 pm UTCfor more details.

Probably should point out this is an alliance event, not solo.

Hello. I am an officer recruiting for the For Earth alliance. It's been probably 13 years since my last post under the name WHEEJACK87. Anyways.
For Earth (Green logo) is looking for recruits. Req. 10+ hq, 3000 min in events 4500 goal. Active in wars. Flexible group to be apart of. Been with them since last November. Great group if your an adult with work, family, etc. They powers that be will always work with ya. Join y'all!

Heh, 5* shards, and the game is showing that the shards are set to expire in what 24 days or something now in preparation for the next batch? HA

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Heh, 5* shards, and the game is showing that the shards are set to expire in what 24 days or something now in preparation for the next batch? HA

Wow...then hardly anyone will get enough to get a 5* bot.

Yeah they will, it'll just take time. This current rotation of 5* bots is being retired and another batch will take their place.

SpaceApe probably just realised that not many people have 5* bots (unless you're willing to pump thousands of dollars into the game) and have done the event this way to help people along.

But seriously, they can fuck off with their Energon.

Burn wrote:But seriously, they can **** off with their Energon.

Most certainly.

So I got another 3* from the event. Got all excited when the space bridge did its thing to indicate it was a new character and I was praying for the 3* Hook to complete Devastator. But then it was a 3* Onslaught... come on! I need Hook, and I already have the 4* Slaught!

Bah-weep-graaaaagnah wheep nini bong!

A new dimension full of possibilities is now open and Blackarachnia is ready to kick off her plans of scheming and betrayal!





Not so Fast

Everything has gone according to the plan!

A new portal through space and time has opened and Blackarachnia’s latest allies are expecting her arrival!

Shocked, Cheetor responds too slowly to avoid being caught up in Blackarachnia’s web of deceit and is carried to a new dimension with some familiar old faces...

Huh, Blackarachnia's based on her Legends figure. Not terribly surprising - especially considering Nightbird and Slipstream - but it's very strange if awesome to see an Animated mold in Earth Wars.

This update from VIP chat.
"Hello, everyone!

We would like to clarify that the upcoming event on this weekend will be an Alliance Totaliser. We will also send an updated VIP Newsletter with the correct information for avoiding any confusion.

Our apologies for this inconvenience.

Roll out!"

Eh wake me up when the actual bot event starts

Transformers: Earth Wars page posted a new video showcasing their newer planned combiners Predaking and the new Dinobot Combiner announced as part of the Power of the Primes line, Volcanicus!



These assets should be available in the mobile game on September 21st.

If that's what the new Predaking will look like, I am so buying it.

I'm only missing Predaking's legs, so I might get a functioning unit by christmas...

I need a Headstrong above a 2* and I need a divebomb period, and then I'll have Predaking.

I love how Volcanicus' sword is Fall of Cybertron Grimlock's sword
