Somehow I managed to stay 1st at the end.
Perhaps others didn’t bother with this buggy event.

[loynis]

I just did 2 runs, earned 9k points total. The leaderboard shown right after run displayed me on 12th place, however main leaderboard still ahows me 1st with 59.7k. Those two runs plus the one that glitched me should have put me over 70k…

I restarted the game and my score went back to 0, leaderboard still at 59.7k.

[loynis]

Android, latest update. Token level was 59,7k as on leaderboard.

Usually it works fine when you sync two devices using facebook.

This week it backfired (sort of). I switched off autoupdating apps on my smartphone and updated the game on tablet (both on android). This way I was able to play on phone as update just crashed at startup.

Then they updated the app again, I switched to check tablet, left phone unupdated.

The prowl event started yesterday, I start playing on my tablet, experienced frequent crashes but somehow reached 32k points.

Then I thought about my phone and decided to try if unupdated game would see event and experience no crashes. IT DID.

I was placed with a completely different group, in the first place. No crashes, I made into 50k points and saw an update going on on tablet. At the same time my game on the phone was hit with the ‘control mess up’ glitch, so I hard closed the app.

Now the weirdest part. Tablet opens, loads cloud save (I have cloud load confirm enabled), gems AND Tokens synced, old leaderboard restored, points at 32k on leaderbord and 0 on event screen with the next token goal at 175k. Run the comp, game instacrashes.

Open the app on phone, same picture (no cloud load). Run the comp, my score now “updated” at the result of this run and I’m 19th with 2k points. Oh yeah.

Hard close the phone, opent tablet, 32k on leaderboard (8th place down from 2nd), 0 on event, I decide to stop it.

Today I’ve got 200 tokens for the 8th place. At least not 0.

Buggy game

[loynis]

Tried a spark run today. Before update, I stopped at lvl 16, earning just enough points for full 250 sparks (my total promotion is 260%), and runnig 16 over and over for more than a week.

Now I finished with 22k points before bonus, having destroyed all the blocks and pigs with ultimate megatron. This gave me 4/5 sparks, with the total score way below the final threshold.

Even if I had full 315% bonus, I would have ended with 91,5k points against 95k goal.

They NERFED spark run. It was evident from the first zone, as I usually hit the 6,5k points (first threshold) right after the first zone. Today I did this almost at the end of 2nd zone.

[loynis]

I’m having this bug over more than year. It’s the main reason I stay away from e. Grimlock.

[loynis]

Revenge time for me. My ultimate megatron is at max sparks <evil grin>

Competitors so far have full gold crown e. grimlocks, and either on a spending spree or rovio bots. But 12000+ points after killing unicron shold be hard for them, I guess.

[loynis]

I had different idea. There should be option to enter the contest with ‘early finish’ option. Here is how it would work:
When entering competition for the day, you can opt to finish early (for example 3,6,9 or 12 hours earlier). At ‘early finish’ time the competition is locked for you and your position on leaderboard at that time determines your prize. You must wait until global finish time to claim the reward. The Rovio could split players into boards based on their finish time as well as entry time. By the way, this may help ‘last minute servers overload’ thing.

This way those who are happy with their playtime can continue to play as it was, and those who had event end at nighttime can now shift it.

[loynis]

Yes, the explosive rounds are fixed.

[loynis]

Dunno, my Ratchet kills Unicron long before shuttle flies. The best thing is that Ratchet’s weapon doesn’t suffer from obstacles (like cobalt valley tuns).

I usually fire at blocks with megatron while shield is up and switch on Ratchet immediatly when it’s down.

[loynis]

All my bots are lvl 15. Grimlock is great, but sometimes few blocks are left, and for some weird reason, he’s often cause game controls to bug, so I had to restart the game.

[loynis]

Btw, what do you mean, watching a video for a recharge? I just click recharge and confirm gem spending. Perhaps this is what “ads are removed after a purchase” means. Long time ago I bought Jenga mode and never saw any forced ads.

Also I prefer using soundwave or ult. Megatron for runs, it goes like shoot and dash, you get little to no damage and do the run real quick. 8-10 minutes to burn thru 4 bars if no boss pig/unicron arrives.

This is what I do sometimes to “scare away” competitors, quickly using few recharges at the begining to get a solid lead.

Not this time, since I have almost everything that’s being offered for tokens.

[loynis]

I suspect noone. I posted my score as an example of a legit score.

[loynis]

Just took a screenshot of my own board.

9 runs (no recharges), 1 unicron, with 60% bonus (20% ult. megatron, 2×20% ratchet)

[loynis]

Well, this score can be achieved from the start if you do 2-3 recharges. I had runs for 1000+ prebonus today, and you can catch unicron few times.

As for no sparks, currently the game displays your last bot used on the leaderboard. So you can have bonus via buddy or just run a regular node afterwards and this bot will appear on the leadrboard.

It could also be a cheater, ofc.

[loynis]

Just looked on my leaderboard. 17 e. grimlocks, 1 e. Lockdown, 1 soundwave and 1 ultimate megatron (me). I just don’t like e. grimlock, his weapon bugs too often for me. On the other hand, megatron gets the job done pretty good, only boss pig gives the headache.

[loynis]

Pick glassor energicon OR e-galvatron. Don’t go for both bonuses, you’ll miss a lot of points.

[loynis]

Actually a regulat starscream is superb for missiles. Got way ahead pursuers with him.

[loynis]

I used the energicon with the icon (sound screecher or smth like that) and got double bonus (30% + 30%). My last run yielded 226 tokens pre-bonus and 361 aftet.

The bonus energicon was the first in the list.

[loynis]

TBH, starscream isn’t the only one having troubles with WMTs. Soundwave is weak against them, too. But starcream basically sucks vs everything else except boss pig while say, soundwave is prerfect against blocks.

[loynis]

Don’t forget the pumpkin plateau 2. It’s a single wave with 3 square woods reward, the best place to grind ingredients for enchanting. It also spawns wealthy rogue quite often.

You don’t need autoplay, just a chilly with a bomb (once you’re high enough).

[loynis]

I unlocked starscream first and now, reading all the comments, chose him for today. He’s also much stronger at lvl 8 with all the accesories (headphones, shoulder pads, null ray), able to destroy purple blocks after all.

I wish I chose sunstorm.

[loynis]

Yoshi, actually they buffed the finisher. It used to deal bonus damage (high amount) to a target below 20%, now it’s below 50%. Now the finisher is much more useful.

[loynis]

The only objective I have decent chance on getting 550 tokens since “50 tokens give all” fix.

I woke up and saw rescue bots squad with 150% bonus. Heatwave for WMTs, optimus with explosives for the rest, dream team for this objective. Recharged twice. Had several desert nodes for 1000+ poins after bonus. Later I just picked one bot from bonus squad plus sentinel prime. Worked fine.
