New update
New update v1.19.3.1 - they've added daily quests, unfortunately the goal of calling in 5 different buddies doesn't register that I've called in any buddies, so looks like I won't be able to get the overall daily reward. The other goals work fine. However, the daily rewards feature that's been introduced a few months back doesn't work properly either, as it almost never allows me to double the reward by watching a video, so I've been missing out on that as well.
They've also added an auto-fire feature, although I'm not sure why, as buddies and energonicons are already automatic, so I don't know why anyone would want the main character to be automatic - it's effectively like watching a demo rather than playing.
Looks like one of the new hot rod characters that's been "coming soon" is now in the barracks as well so assume it'll be available in a comp soon.
