The wait times on HQ15 seem like a major deterrent to players. I know they want you to buy cybercoins to skip the upgrade but I don't doubt it costs an astronomical amount of coins, which equates to a hefty chunk of real money. How much IS the cost to skip a 2 week upgrade, Burn?

With 13D and 14H remaining ... 7022

I feel the methods they use to extract money from players are actually too much to the extent it dissuades players from spending. I decided to drop £8 on 2,300 Cyber Coins for four of those Bonecrusher crystals since he's the last 3* constructicon I don't have. I got 2* Duplicates from all four. And two of those weren't Bonecrusher or even any other Constructicon.
Just saying, after that, I'm really not encouraged to spend any more. The RNG system is far too unfair that it feels like any money I drop on it is a waste.

You generally have to buy a LOT of character crystals to get the one you're really after.

SpaceApe are in this for the money, which is fine, they're a business, and given there are people pumping hundreds and even thousands of dollars into this game a week, well ... they're going to keep those people happy, because they'll keep spending.

But HQ15? Casual players will be months before they can field a team to take on a maxed out HQ15. Most will eventually give up. The game in time will go the same way as other freemium TF games.

That's what I'm afraid of. I actually really enjoy this game, a lot more than Legends or Battle Tactics. But the paywall is stupid. A lot of people are looking at Forged to Fight already, in its beta stage, and since the overlap between TF mobile games is usually not very big, I'm a little concerned that this game is going to be gone before I even reach max level.

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 4:10 pm

Forged to Fight will be the same damn trap though.

News Credits: 3 · by **ctrlFrequency** » Tue Dec 27, 2016 10:38 pm

From what I've heard of Forged to Fight, it isn't likely to have the attention hold as Earth Wars.

Of course that was awhile ago. A bunch of people tried it, quit in boredom after a few days, some still playing.

Deep inside the fortress, the Decepticons watch as Bonecrusher flies out of the armor breach they’ve just created. Two red eyes shine brightly in the dark as Deathsaurus approaches...

As the snow dust from the showdown settles, two deadly new bots prepare for their arrival through the Space Bridge. Meet Star Saber and Deathsaurus.

Star Saber
Famed as one of the greatest cyber-swordsmen in the known universe, Star Saber is driven by a flaming passion for justice and peace.

His idealism, courage and strength are legendary, but sometimes his zeal can override his otherwise calm, collected nature and get him into trouble.

Deathsaurus

A tyrant and despot to rival Megatron, Deathsaurus wields a powerful new sword and a short range battle rifle.

He has nothing to prove, and therefore sees no need to flex his cyber-muscles. But woe betide any who cross him directly.

Eh, glad to see the event rewards are getting worse. At least the lower tiers are getting much better rewards. Although, the 4th tier might be better than the 3rd tier... :HEADHURTS:

SPEND MONEY NOW, GET THAT FOUR STAR!!! :ic$:

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Wed Dec 28, 2016 2:46 pm

That is the most atrocious event rewards line-up I've ever seen; even moreso than the Galvatron and Magnus event. No-one cares about Nano-frost; just... just give us shards darnit.

On the other hand, Blazing Storm looks great. Like a combination of Skrapnel and Bonecrusher/Rampage.

I like nano frost. Use it for when I don't have stun up, and the ice shards is actually kind of useful.

Any advice on starting a new alliance or finding a slightly more laid-back one?

News Credits: 4 · by **King Kuuga** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 4:01 pm

Where are you know, what are you capable of bringing to events point-wise, what's your HQ level, what faction?

If you're a 'Con, Evil Empire are pretty laid back, for the lower levels there's Renegade Empire and then the MILF one.

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 5:19 pm

There's an Insane Leader bundle up right now which gives you Megatron crystals; opposite's true for Optimus on the Autobot side of course.

I tried it, didn't get anything. Last time I spend money on this game; if they want me to spend more, they'd better be a tad fairer. I don't expect to get a perfect drop rate but I'd rather not expect 5 2* duplicates, none of which are Megatron or even units comparable to him.

News Credits: 226 · by **Burn** » Thu Dec 29, 2016 5:28 pm

Galvatron was the insane one anyway. :-P

I have a 3* Megatron. I figure it's just a waste for me to try for a 4*. I'd rather a 4* Galvatron anyway.

Yeah... that's the thing; I play as a 'bot. Thanks anyways, though.

Yeah, unfortunately most of the social board members are Decepticon players.

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Sun Jan 01, 2017 8:02 pm

Furman's the writer and Deathsaurus in this game is an ancient being not familiar with the modern era. Is this maybe a reference to how he was implied to be ancient and legendary in Dreamwave through old statues of him being around?

As near as we can tell. Someone was SUPPOSED to ask her, and he didn't. But I saw her in Quantums Event, so I am assuming.

Anywho.

Not to one up or brag, I tried not to, but just so damned proud....
