@millforce2k and @geli hey ho! Hello fellas. I tend to start early in the morning in the Eastern time zone, today, I started a bit later than usual. I did pass the 200k mark that day with no recharge. My Ratchet is fully promoted and I think level 19? Ratchet sits back until missile day or Boss Pig, he’s great against missiles and can take WMT lava ball hits, etc.

Good luck!

@diamond72, np, sorry another double post, not sure how I did that 🙂

@diamond72

android players have reported that there has been an up to the update, and after that the silo is full

1. In the daily challenge it said to use a common accessory. I have no idea what that means so I can’t finish the challenge

—Tap the lab button, there will be an icon with a character on a plane, that’s where you’ll find the energonicons, sorted by common/uncommon/rare/etc—

 

2. How the heck do you get gold gems? They aren’t in anything.

— missions

— in the lab: 3 whit (+coins) ->1 blue (+ coins) /3 blue->1  green (+ coins); 3 green-> 1 purple; 3 purple (+ coins) -> 1 gold

—once in about a zillion map nodes, one will be gold crystals as a reward

 

 

3. Now the area to do another challenge is like 4 days long before available again

is that the spire? I’ve read some posts that the rewards may be decent

@gregger knows about it

[20Qmindreader]

On the map nodes, depending on the periphery glow around the TF on the node, can collect clear, blue, green, purple or gold crystals. Windblade level 15 with accessories, exprienced insta-death after a couple of steps. To keep the node going, they want 50 gems…too rich for me.

[20Qmindreader]

Nearly 5 years ago, something similar happened. I remember losing everything because the app failed completely and no one at Rovio could help and that was the 2nd or third time I had to start from scratch … dare ya to tell me I’m cray-cray for playing lol.

New Update for ABT on iOS (v1.5.15 Crashing)

[20Qmindreader]

Info on cost to upgrade:

New upgrade costs:
9 => 10: 872 gems OR 1d, 150k coin, 15 uncommon, 5 rare
10 => 11: 1093 gems OR 1d 8h, 200k coin, 20 uncommon, 10 rare
11 => 12: 1344 gems OR 1d 16h, 200k coin, 15 rare, 5 epic
12 => 13: 1752 gems OR 2d, 225k coin, 20 rare, 10 epic
13 => 14: 2488 gems OR 2d 12h, 225k coin, 15 epic, 5 legendary
14 => 15: 3700 gems OR 3d, 250k coin, 20 epic, 10 legendary

I have been keeping upgrades going on my kids’ games and it looks like that just got a lot harder.

[20Qmindreader]

And, another list from another player:

few more new things:
—Spire only once a week
—steel crates pay coin, pig and white crystal
—i have worked my way to 11 yellow in the lab, that still does not give me anything
spark run/rewards unchanged
—gem cost to upgrade bots (as opposed to crystals) increased. Example: from 9 to 10 was 862, increased to 872. Meh, 10 gems, I hear you think. Ok, from 10 to 11, was 1041, now 1093. That is 52 gems, or a 5% increase.
—missions take lots more time
—higher rarity EI become available as the bot level increases
—Priorities: I’ve taken Strikebot and Electroblast to grade3, Glassor and Piggyblaster to grade 2. Those are the 2 and 2 I use most, so this investment will pay immediately and all the time. Glassor and PB to grade as next step, then I’ll start thinking about upgrading Slipstream and new bots, EI’s, depending on how often the EI’s appear in daily quests, and accessories for Superion or Spark run team bots .
—My Breakdown has EMP. Mönoliths wont freeze anymore. Same with Slipstream. And Superion in CR.
—my overall impression wiht this update is that EVERYTHING is going to take twice as long. I have worked my way to 11 yellow crystals. Still not enough to use them for anything. And getting 1 yellow means 3 purple which means 9 green which means 27 blue which means 81 white. You earn 2 white for most map event, 2 blues or 2 greens or 2 purples occur less often. If you get an event that pays yellow, sorry, it’s only 1 crystal. Did I mention that 11 yellows (or rough guestimate: 300 events) still doesnt get you anything?
—New daily quests. Quests now also give crystals. One of my daily quests is to use a grade 2 EI. That was easy, Electroblast upgraded for free in the tutorial. I also have a quest to use a grade 3 accessory. That’s trickier. Which of the 83 characters has one of those – bear in mind there’s a gazillion of them. Probably start checking the bots currently on the map, equip if possilble and play when the mission ends. That is a lot of work for the 3k coin reward, certainly if you’ve already completed the 8 quests for the day reward.

One of the pop up notes

[20Qmindreader]

Just to note, what I posted came from other players, I haven’t done the update on mine yet. More comments from other players who have:

This update seems a lot of take and no give from Exient.
Take:
1) no spark in token exchange.
2) gold crates more expensive in token exchange.
3) spire ONCE per week not per day.
4) all accessories need to be upgraded again regardless of what level they were before.
5) no more short missions.
6) new Crystals are needed for every upgrade, not just upgrading bots.
7) steel crates pay out pigs, more pigs and some coins and maybe a token crystal.
8) straight gem upgrades are more expensive. (This one I don’t care about, I don’t do it)
9) is a guess, but I’m sure legendary payouts in the CR on Sunday will now include yellow Crystal’s rather than as many OP’s or any upgrades

Give:
1) energicons can be upgraded to become more powerful
2) ?
3) ??
…………….

I hope this update eventually proves me wrong but it seems to suck.
*****8****

BUT! Another long time player noted that was a loss of some stuff, but seems “okay” smh.

[20Qmindreader]

@moifirst yah, not an improvement …

[20Qmindreader]

EI is energonicons

another bunch of comments:

— if i have understood correctly, the lab is now more a factory, you know what you are going to pay and what you are going to get, than a lab (you don’t know what you get) or even a rip-off shack (you know you are going to get hussled)

— watching a video after an event does not double the crystal rewards

— Slipstream has Kremzeek/EMP. It no longer stops monoliths falling. Bug or intentional?

— hard mission of 8 / 16 /48 hours. 4000 pigs to cut the 48 to 24.

— less gems in quests, less gems in missions, as far as we know now, no gems in the lab. They are becoming very rare… but the offer is still 5000, and extra runs stay the same price too…

— Character upgrades now als require crystals, have an uncanny feeling the higher upgrades will require the rarer ones, in quantities that you cannot just get in the time in the time the previous upgrade takes.

— accessoires have been nerfed back to basics. All the progress we’ve made is gone. No more 100% and more extras…

— superion has emp. Doesn’t stop monoliths from falling anymore. Again, bug or intentional?

@optimuspig take care out there

[20Qmindreader]

This has happened to me in the past. To fix it, I went into the settings in Facebook settings|apps where the like to the ABT page had expired. I clicked on the X for that app, then, in that app settings page, tap on the icon for the ABT game and “remove”. Leave Facebook “open” and reopen the ABT app. When you’re back in the ABT app, tap on the Facebook icon, it should take you out of the app and to the official ABT Rovio Facebook page. Hard close the ABT app. Then try restarting your app again. I’m just a regular player, so no guarantees on any of this😕

[20Qmindreader]

@geli screenshots of most of it, but not really questions that haven’t been asked many times thru the years :)

 

 

[20Qmindreader]

@sixxdawg cool! that’s a great way to play and feel no guilt about the time

[20Qmindreader]

Didn’t feel like typing it all again.

[20Qmindreader]

Me! And I agree ….WHHYYYYY am I doing this?? <face palm> <lol>

[20Qmindreader]

If you’ve got him and have done some upgrades and promoted him, and you’re on iOS, you may regret it, as challenge nodes with him are regularly crashing at the end, and there won’t be a fix until next week. Also, if you use him as a buddy on a regular node, it doesn’t count toward the thank a buddy daily quest. If you use him on a regular node, it won’t count for the daily quest. He’s strong and succeeds against Unicron, but I prefer a TF like Hound against Boss Pig because I can string BP along longer and build up more points. I got him for the regular offer I get for 1000 gems.

@optimuspig somehow my account was caught up in it after I made the thread and made the report. I haven’t been able to,post because my account has been restricted and also, all my ABN friends were removed. Not sure why, but I’m posting to find out if the restrictions have been removed.

“Did anyone else get mega-spammed by comment notifications on comments that @20qmindreader had tagged you in over three years ago?”

[20Qmindreader]

I have noticed on iOS that events/nodes in the meadows on the left side are coming up more often for play. I hope that’s a good omen for the upcoming competition; during the turkey competition, way too many nodes had 0-7 flying turkey pigs. Hope that is fixed.

[20Qmindreader]

@optimuspig Facebook!?! You caved…?
