Hey there!

I hope this email finds you in great shape.

As you probably know by now, we launched the Power Cores feature this Tuesday! This new feature will add another layer to Transformers: Earth Wars gameplay, changing the metagame and offering new strategic options to every player.

To announce Power Cores, we created a new video series where Chris (Product Owner) and Adam (Game Designer) chat about how these items will impact the game. Three different videos were published on our YouTube channel and Facebook page:

'What are Power Cores?'

'Power Cores on Bots'

'Power Cores on Defenses'

On top of that, Deb, Adam and Dan answered a lot of questions about Power Cores and more on our weekly stream, called ‘Unknown Power’. You can watch the full session here:

The new Power Cores campaign, written by the legendary Simon Furman, will showcase of Autobots and Decepticon in their quest to discover a new technology from the distant planet of Nebulos. Once finished, you will get the Matrix of Leadership Power Core for Optimus Prime, or the Crown Power Core for Starscream!

Agreed. Lots flashy doodads for little to no improvement.

But people will spend money to get them. And that's the important thing.

You could do everyone a favour and redact ALL news concerning this "game" from the site...

The same with "TF: - Forced to Swipe", too!

Cheers!

Because they're "P2W", and in Forged to Fight's case, it has no support for hardware mice (which "Earth Wars" at least has.

Obviously, this isn't going to happen, but as a mobile gamer and TF fan, I can dream that such freemium dross could, one day, be collectively ignored by the fandom...

So once again, because YOU don't like it, we shouldn't report it.

This is the second such instance of you saying we shouldn't news something because you didn't agree with it. You are aware that you can just scroll on and actually are NOT forced to read such things yeah?

Comment by primalxconvoy Oct 26, 2017

Burn,

I know that. I'm not honestly asking you to actually block it. It's in context; we were discussing that perhaps the company would want you to redact news, and by association, someone who doesn't like such software also chipped in and asked for you to purposely throw the baby out with the bathwater. That's all.

Under Investigation

Here are some of the issues reported that we've been investigating:
Troops not following Inspiring Charge in certain scenarios: There are rare occasions when bots will not follow Optimus Primes/Megatron's Inspiring Charge.
This is currently under investigation.
Medics continuously healing each other: After deploying two healers, it is possible for them to start healing each other and not target other bots.
This will be fixed in this week's content release.
Issues related to the Shock Tower:
In certain scenarios, bots outside the buildings range can be damaged by its attack.
When hacked by a bot on offense, the Shock Tower will not always deal damage to all the surrounding buildings in its range.
Both of these issues will be fixed in the next client release.

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 love how the title makes it sound like Triple Changers are launching this week when it's more likely next week or the week after. Probably a leaderboard event.

EDIT: I didn't notice the special campaign. So that's nice.

Comment by DecepticonFinishline Nov 4, 2017

Not that I suddenly dislike Spring or (especially) Sandstorm... But I am hoping for a Titan Master version of each. Maybe in a PotP Box set. Or the series after PotP. Whatever.
