Transformers: Earth Wars - Shark Bait Event

I think I can hit level 7 by Friday if I keep at my current rate. I lost 3 times in one round in that alliance though, so I've done all I can

Don't stress it, D-Max. All I ever ask is to try. If you can't, you can't, but if you don't even try, I bite.

Tyrann said that on their Facebook page they were having issues

There was a DDOS attack today. Took down a lot if websites, Twitter, and Reddit

I've been able to squeak on at multiple points today. Got as far as I could in the war, and then started this whole solo battle tournament thing. And it has been a great day with it! I have literally powered up my cons by over 100 levels and have built up my walls to level 5. I'm nearing being able to power up my base to level 8 and I finally got my research lab updated. Megs is almost a 300 level bot.

Now lets hope I can get a Sharkticon out of this

Well after I got off work today, I helped a friend go shopping for his party, went home and napped, then went to that party and didn't get home until 2 AM. That was my first chance to do some Earth Warring. Looks like I lucked out by missing the DDOS. Good news is, during my brief playtime (basically did 1 round through my Fuel Cells with 3-bot squads in low zones) I finally got 3 star Brawl to level 30, so he's going into the upgrade oven immediately after the last guy gets out. Having all 3 of my 3 stars above 30 will help my A-team tremendously.

Don't expect an actual Sharkticon until next weeks event.

Sounds like a good plan.

I may be able to upgrade my base to level 8 by the end of the weekend.

also took the advice to build up my walls. They are almost all at level 5 now

As you increase in level, build times increase so while you're waiting 3-7 days for a building to upgrade, you're going to be amassing a **** tonne of alloy, good time for wall upgrades!

Yeah, I only have 2 right now and I don't know if I'll ever get 3 seeing as how that one is 2000 coins to purchase.

As of right now, I keep amassing alloy and when I finish a building, I just throw a bunch of alloy into the wall and then update something that only needs energon. At least, that is the plan for now

Honestly, with however much cybercoins you start with, you can get to 2k pretty quickly if you don't spend what you accumulate on anything else. The second 2k for a fourth build bot takes longer (took me twoish months) but it's possible. I went ahead and purchased a Build Bot Bundle when it became available to get to my 5. It's $5 or $10, you get a build bot and 1000 coins so it's a very good investment.

Please, before you upgrade your HQ any further though, max out your walls. It's only going to get harder to do later because their price goes up faster than the rate you can earn alloy. If that means sitting on a HQ7 with everything else maxed for a few days while you save the alloy, so be it. You'll thank me later.

If it makes you feel any better, my latest Free Crystal was a 1-star Skywarp. I still don't have a Thundercracker, nor any bot higher than 2 stars. That free crystal did give me 2-star Blastoff though, which is one of my elites
