Thoughts on saving challenge tokens?

Token have only carried over once, and that was from the original “Challenge in C Minor” to the “Encore in C Minor”, and I believe that was partly due to the bugs in the original Challenge for example Rovio closing the token exchange early to get the CNY event ready.

So I’d only keep them if we’re expecting to see an “Encore” version of Enter the Silverbird.

@pampeans
I think @optimuspig was not talking about the screw up on the leaderboard for Enter the Silver Bird day 1 which I think was a score and not tokens. When Encore in C Minor started I think they rolled over (restored) the last tokens at the end of the original C Minor since they closed the token exchange too early.

I wonder if they will do that again as they have hinted at another challenge later in the month. But, I do think the advice is sound about spending what you can now as it is not known if you can actually “take it with you” so to speak.

Oh! Thanks @aliaspbj

I didn’t see @optimuspig post when I posted. Interesting, although I only had a small amount of tokens (70) at the end of the Challenge in C-Minor, I started the Encore in C-Minor with zero tokens. I thought that’s why Rovio had an encore instead of just reopening the exchange — because the tokens (should) zero out after each contest.

@aliaspbj

You are correct in your interpretation of what I was saying.

@pampeans

I think we posted within a minute of each other, lol.

It would be nice if we could trade tokens for gems, like we did in the Holiday event.

Spend all the tokens you have,even if it is for coins,that we do not need,as most of us have many millions and we do not really need them… Only if Rovio decide to update the game and make all Transformers up to level 20,which will probably be one of the next couple of big things that they have to do : Transformers to level 20 and open new areas….
Only once happened to carry over our tokens,but that happened due to a bug . . .

Question for everyone, since we topic of coins are in the air… I remember reading a while back that some players had issues with a limit on coins & pigs but I can’t seem to find that info.

So is there a limit/cap on how many coins we have??? I figure that I’m no where near it but would still like to know the status of something like that. Last thing anybody needs is to hit a wall and not be able to play because of it.

@arceemega & @gradientturtle7 do you have any insight on this??

Since there was a bug in the awards the first day of this competition, I’m holding out hope for some kind of encore.

Besides, acquiring coins is pointless anyway. (I’m around 19 million, having started playing in November.)

well,to say the truth,there has to be a change in the game,because ( between us ), we do the same things all the time,except when an event shows up.. opening new areas may be a change and also upgrading our TF’s, could give us oxygen to continue… i will agree that from level 15 to 20 ( directly ) would take many months, so maybe something until 17-18 would be something new… just a thought !! or else, what is the point of collecting coins ? what should we do with them…? could Rovio open a new buying window and let us change some millions coins with a small-or-not amount of gems…?

@tripolar, well… me,you and i think everybody would like to do something with our coins, because ther is no use of them !! only when we have to upgrade our TF’s, but still, i have remaining many millions of coins… could be a nice thought, to exchange coins with…anything else !!

Man, right now I’m working on moving all of mine to 13s. I’m missing the last 2 Prime’s, so that is 2 less to currently worry about, I’d rather have them to worry about tho… So far I have about 2/3s of them at 13.. I know that on it’s own is going to take a while… I was using gems to speed it up before but now I’m saving gem’s for accessories and events. If I could master the lab, then maybe I could spend some to cut the time down. I remember someone was making at least 200 gems a day. That would be really helpful to attain… I’m still working on my gambling style/strategy. I just realized that is something that I’ve never kept stats on… The odds of rolls and combinations. Guess I just found another thing to add to my Excel book. The one part that I’ve learned is that if you put 3SR in and the first (free) roll and the (5 gem) re-roll doesn’t hit. The 3rd roll isn’t going to hit either. I’ve been burned too many times trying to at least get 5 gems, with 2 in 3 odds (supposedly) in my favor. That’s a entire other topic to discuss…

@tripolar,

Actually, I often net 5 gems from 3 Super Rarium — i.e. by getting 20 gems on the third roll. So I conjecture you just had a run of bad luck.

One tip — I forget the names, but 2 (pink) pig-side chips + 1 pig-side gear gives a chance at 3 Super Rarium eggs. I’m pretty sure that that the same formula with with (blue) bird-side parts only gives 1 egg. Come to think of it, I really should know for sure, because it’s possible that doing it that way is better than using 3 blue chips in most cases …

Anyhow, it so happens that I’ve been upgrading mainly birds, so I’ve been playing for gems mainly with the pink stuff. My go-to formulae are:

3 Super Rarium. I reroll this up to twice.
2 chips + 1 gear. I reroll this up to once.
3 chips (only if I start with 10 or more chips or if I’m out of gears).
3 pyramids or 2 pyramids + 1 cube to try to make more gears.

Occasionally I try to make chips from gears as well, but I seem to run out of them faster than I do chips, which makes sense if you think about my reroll strategies. (I don’t reroll except in the cases mentioned above.)

By the time you’re considering whether to spin a 3rd time on 3 Super Rarium, you have a 2/3 chance at 20 gems, for the cost of 10 gems. So I do it.

Well, there’s also a gold cost, but who cares about that?
