Haha, you're not alone. I enjoy them too.

 

Good try Aeph... at least you attempted this time

 

All I know is my 5* Jazz will be hitting 58 during the Lb. One shot max mortars will be sweet.

 

I'm gonna push Blaster to 53

 

Awesome. How you liking Blaster so far and how have you integrated him for war? Walk team?

 

Funny you should ask, literally just tried him out for the first time. Absolutely loving Blaster, I've been soloing him all week just to push him along as fast as possible. I added him to my basic War team, which I'm not sure if it's an official "Walk Team" or not.

Lineup is:

Optimus (for health/attack, Rush if I need it, and he has Solus Prime turrets)
Slug (soaks up attacks, has Liege Maximo for outpost bot hacks)
Skydive + Jetfire (one shot abilities to pick off long range defenses)
Blaster
Alpha Bravo (gunner attacks)
First Aid + Wheeljack

For this first attempt, I released Blaster's minions at the start to help clear out the front line defenses. His high health kept him alive as the team worked towards the HQ, then at the end I made a final push with Prime Rush to the HQ and then released another set of minions, which added another 4 bots for the swarm. It made a noticeable difference for sure.

 

New Cybertron skin for raid mode. Raids will go live in 2 weeks. There will be a stream next week to show it off. Also Springers defensive ability will get a buff.

 

Can't wait for the Raids.

 

Same for Astrotrain?

 

Would anybody be willing to let me into their alliance just for this weekend event? I can do 8k+ and would really love to reach an overall score of at least 230,000 points in order to get the 500 4* shards I need for my 4* crystal. My current alliance can usually do only about 130,000 and the alliance I usually move over to for weekend events like this one is only allowing peeps that can do 15k+ for this weekend only in order to get in the top 200.

Would really appreciate it if any of you guys know an alliance that would let someone like me join up for just this weekend in order for me to get the 500 4* shards I need.  

 

If you find the alliance that you're in insufficient for your growth, why not join another alliance? It's easier to join another alliance than to hop to other alliances only during events when you can only score 8k+. With scores at that level, most alliances will provide for their own first. Unless you can score more than 12k, it's hard for other alliances too consider having you as a Merc. In a family alliance, even if you can't hit 12k+, priority will be given to you to move to a higher tier alliance for events as long as you're reliable and consistent in your scoring.

 

Well, I'm apart of an alliance family that does exactly that, but for this weekend's event (first time I've experienced this happening) they're only allowing players that can score a certain amount of points (15k+, in this case) in order for them to be higher in rank on the leaderboard. They usually allow players like me that are consistent and reliable with scoring to play into higher parts of the family, but as I said they are aiming to get more points in than they usually do in order to be higher up on the leader board this time around.

I'm fine with my current family, it's just that I would really love to get those last 500 4* shards this weekend in order to finally finish off my 4* crystal instead of waiting more days to do so.

 

All the best. I don't think that it'll be easy to find an alliance willing to give you a ride for top 200. But you never know.  

 

Commits for this LB are much higher across all our alliances than past ones. On average I'd say 5-10k higher than previous. It must be the triple changer. Bare minimum for a slot at a top 100 alliance is a 25-30k commit.

 

Ours remained at 22k, but depending on where we place in this one it may get raised next time.

 

We don't set requirements on points. We have 8 alliances and we allow members to bid what they can hit and we slot them into the appropriate alliance based on that number. For each respective Primus Command we saw an increase in bids over previous LBs, especially in PC1.

 

Ah. We have our main alliance and then a junior one. For the most part, everyone in the main alliance can hit the established minimum... those who can't that weekend move to the junior one. Then we reach out to people to fill any leftover slots.

 

what a weekend

4* Deathchicken 3* shockwave 3* Megatron (i really needed this) 3* first aid (this means i have all medics at 3* and above now) 2* cheetor 2* rodimusprime 2* springer all from 3 cheapest bundles so happy this is going to be great for long term development of my teams, more importantly once i get that 3* megs past 50 i will be able to rush maxed bases as all my other bots just need to get there to finish the job ive been with only a 2* Megs for far to long.

 

Those are some awesome pulls. Congrats.

So I ended up chasing two dupes and this was the result. At first I was kind of bummed (deep down I wanted Elita) but the more thought about it the more I realized this will be a big benefit to my walk team. So far I’ve gotten him to 42.

 

5* Medics are brutal, I am yet to get a 5* i can get 70% though most maxed bases now 50% if its really rough, ive noticed that scourge,swoop / waspantor, tirgerhawk set ups are now becoming very common
