    Weird, my bots are doing the Drift mission aren't available for arenas. It must be since it's not a regular story mission.

    Ok, either this game is just dumb (it definitely is but maybe it's especially dumb) or I'm doing something wrong. I'm doing A Question of Loyalty on easy and the first two levels weren't too tough but the third one is just wrecking me. They're all two star bots so I shouldn't have too much trouble with them but they are just suddenly really really good at evading, blocking, and just killing me in general. And Waspinator gets to come back to life after I kill him for some reason. Is there a trick to this level?

    Also, I gotta say this game is pretty ridiculous. I haven't played a lot of mobile games so maybe this is typical but the whole thing where you only get to play for a little while before you run out of movement and have to wait is ridiculous. Energon accrues so slowly that I figured I'd go ahead and drop $5 or so on some to get a few more premium bot crystals only to find that $5 only gets you 135 energon. That's pathetic. I figured it'd be like a buck for 100 so I could just drop a few bucks to get a quick boost to my roster but $5 for just one is way too damn much.

    Which bots do you use?
    What level are you?
    Waspinator has awakened so after his first kill keep attacking it's his sig. Everyone with white stars are awakened and stronger then blue stars
    AI acts more experienced in v 2.0 so they are harder to kill they can dodge a whole lot better now.
    Easy is always easy until you reach the end then it's more the start of medium so if your new go for class.
    And yeah prices are high and if you want to spend wait for exclusive offers.

    Thanks. Didn't know that "awakened" was a thing. I'm not that far in. Just started yesterday. It's just weird that I get 400+ xp for fights in the campaign that are actually pretty easy but I get less than 100 xp for the fights that are just wrecking me. Didn't help that I'd spent all my energon on crystals and had no healing items. I'm a little better equipped so I can heal between fights now and I've unlocked the A.I. for my fighters which seems to do better against those nasty fights than I do. Ran out of energy before I made it to the end so I'll take another stab at it tomorrow.

    That explains it 3 bots without autopilot easy is hard so you haven't unlock everything.
    You gonna love dups of 2* and higher.
    I'm level 37 can use 5 bots and still autopilot keeps saving the day (he dodge better then me but does not hit as fast as me)
    Now with calendar, arena and completion rewards you will have energon to burn again in no time.
    If your in a alliance ask for help it gives 3 missionenergy and you can do that every hour now plus the help giving reduces your time/cooldown.
    Specials are for easy, good or usefull rewards. Daily and story are for exp and grinding ore.

    Just keep practicing and eventually u will be able to take on bots which are much more powerful than you. Mission ai is NOT the hardest in this game, arena ai on high streak is. Also In 4star arena you will have to deal with bots with more than twice of your power ratings and with enough practice you will be able to take on those too Screenshot_2017-05-30-09-55-51.png

    Hey, I'm new to the game.

    How do you unlock characters? Is it just by using those random crystal things?

    By using 1* bot crystal, 2* bot crystal, 3* bot crystal, 4* bot crystal, daily crystal, alliance crystal, premium crystal, knight crystal or collect the shards to create most of them.
    And you get them by playing the game and gain rewards if you don't spend money and are Lucky enough to get new bots.:D

    Well it's free...ish. You don't have to pay anything. I think I paid $5 for some kind of bundle early on and that's it. The thing is, I'd probably have sunk $20 or more into the game by now if you actually got anything for your money. $5 for 135 energon which is only enough for one shot at a premium bot. If it were $1, I'd buy five right now. As it is, they're not getting any more money from me unless something comes along that's a hell of a deal.

    I've only played a couple of these "pay to win" games. Is this pricing structure typical? I mean I buy a full console game for $30 - 60. If a mobile game gave me as much fun as one of those, I'd be willing to pay that much for it, but to get even close to console game levels of content, I'd have to sink 100s into it. No thanks.

    Yes, it's typical because many people do pay hundreds of dollars for this crap.

    I just can't help but think they'd get more money by pricing it low enough that more people would pay for it. I mean it costs them literally nothing for each item they sell. If cutting the price to 1/5 caused more than five times as many people to buy stuff, The increase would be 100% profit.

    The prices are high because the developer knows people will pay regardless. There are a lot of people who spend hundreds on this game every month. It's insane.

    I've heard that it's not uncommon for players in the top alliances to spend up to $1000+ monthly.

    I completely forgot: they build in social pressure to push you into spending more money! :lol  I did that with the other mobile TF game, and it was frustrating. You pay to advance, but you only get a roulette wheel of chance! And even if you strike lucky, they add new members or characters next week that make your payment worthless. It's a treadmill.

    But unlike console games, where skill and time are rewarded, the mobile platform is built on empty promises and endless tolls. :banghead:

    Well with most mobile games the price of any content is continuously & constantly monitored so if they are happy with the current stream of money coming in then I doubt any changes will happen.

    I don't agree with this I seem to be progressing just fine and I've not spent a dime on this Transformer game, the other game I've spent a total of $5. I'm happy with how things are progressing so I don't feel a need to spend any money, I'm enjoying the game plus I really like the new alliance I'm a part of.

    I found my groove and I've been progressing pretty well and I'm liking this game a lot more than I did the first couple days.

    That said, the boss fight in act 2 chapter 4-4 was just stupid. A mod that increases his attack and inflicts a whopping 100% bleed for 7 seconds. He gets you with one combo and you're toast. Wiped out my whole party (to be fair, none were at full health by the time I got to him) and I had to revive and fully heal twice before I beat him and even then it was by the skin of my teeth. Fuck whoever thought that was a good idea for a boss fight.

    Hm. Hadn't tried auto piloting it. I used autopilot a little early on as a crutch but once I got sidestepping down I stopped using it. Maybe I should see if autopilot still does a better job than me. Not a big fan of using auto though: I don't like to play a game just to let the game play itself.

    It's possible that I might need a new alliance after the 4th of July holiday. I told my current alliance I would be MIA that week and I was told I'd be kicked, no answer if they let me back.

    I've got a family vacation that week.
