    I started the strategy at 18...nope. Then 15....nope. 12....got me some close calls, but so far so good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    And as far as "stealing" points go, If I got no choice, I'll make sure to avoid the "TWF" peeps. I haven't paid attention to how much of my points are stolen. I don't want to know. It'll just make me hate the game.

    I've also been thinking about the Investigation Point thing... After being blown up a bunch of times and healed a few times, I'm starting to think it's based on the same principle as the token draws. Meaning, the result everyone wants -- the Flag Points -- is probably a less than 1% thing.

    I'll be interested to hear if anyone finds any... or finds enough to be worth anything before the expiration date.

    Not a bad idea. Since i'm down to 80 ammo, I might have to do something like this.

    Can anyone confirm that you really do lose points? I went to sleep with 626,xxx group points and ranked 12x. When I woke up I had lost the normal dozen or so battles but I was still at 626,xxx and had only fallen to 138.

    No one is running a joe deck right? If so please post up because it seems 90% are funning cobra decks for the event. Joe decks are getting smoked to many power cobra cards right now.

    I had coins left over and bought 2 5 packs, no Nemesis Immortals, mostly junk with a random decent 1*. All bridges are a gamble so go in with no expectations.


    Bstan, you will be missed if you leave for good. It was nice to see you on here and the game after TFL, and you have given great advise and reasonable opinions.

    On another note, I was replaying North Africa to get a second bazooka for my gallery and came across 2 restocks in the cases. Has anyone figured out if there is a pattern to the case rewards or is it all random. I apologize if this was discussed way earlier, I have not seen it as I have follwes this thread.

    Another reason why they better crank up the Joe rewards soon. Falcon and Shipwreck just won't cut it. The Cobra deck I would be running is two Zartan 4*s, PE Invite SS, Leader SS, and Metal Head. Gotta hit first IMO. Joes just can't do that and get pwnd (even with Shipwreck debuffing).

    Good luck!

    I think you lose the opportunity for points and your groupmate/rival gains the points you could have won. I have tried to check but I can never catch my previous total before the end of the battle

    Yeah, card packs are a serious crap shoot. 0.5% for a NE means 1 in 200 chance for every pull. Not that you are guaranteed one if you pull 200 cards. Just ridic.

    Thanks for all the support folks. I will be around but I just can't bring myself to play this particular PVP event (perhaps if they'd gone Joe for the first Legendary). I've got a deck and ammo that could get me something if I wanted but they just aren't making me feel welcome as a cheapie/freebie player.

    I played DOT before and after legendaries were introduced and the gap just felt too much. The best rewards were out of reach. I understand the business model but as a game it started to feel like a waste of time. I hope you all continue to enjoy the game, I really do. I'll take a break and re-evaluate. Perhaps I'll be back. They could make it easier to decide if TRADING was ever introduced!

    Also, I've got access to a few of the TFW logos. If you've been around and posting (like Ryujinandy and a few others) I will provide the logo files. They are not for just anyone and I'd like to think people won't harass me for them now that I've made this public.

    Don't steal points from TFW boardies! I can't believe this is possible but I know you will all do the right thing.

    It is definitely 0.5% for a legendary which is 1 in 200... but yeah. Long odds and despite the equal odds for all rares lots of crap. Probably because there are more crap rares than good rares.

    Yep. I can confirm the lost points. I got iRrufa in my group right now and that dude has a freakin Nemesis, two CC, new Zarana, and leader SS. That team just murders my Joe squad. Even if I go All Out to try to recover my points I'll most likely lose. AND I believe if you lose trying to recover your points, I think it takes away even more points from you.

    Pretty sure a bunch of us at least tried. We wouldn't of known about all the Nemesis Immortals in Cobra decks if we weren't using joe decks in the first place.

    BTW, good catch on the immortal vs enforcer. I didn't realize they were two different cards.

    Sadly, I can't think of any more joes that can be rewards that interest me that's going to replace my Shipwreck in my lineup. I can see a rewards general Hawk, but that's it. I'm pretty sure when they bring out Joe Colton, he's going to be a Legendary.

    I was thinking Admiral Hawk might be a Legendary candidate. Although a similar character at least its a character change instead of the dupes that are coming out. There are still plenty of missing Joes and the whole battle force 2000 that can be used as commons :) . Sgt Slaughter and Refridferator Perry for more rewards lol.

    Bstanley is that cobra team your perfect non nemesis squad? Or what you would use?

    I'm using
    Invite SS ep4
    SS starter
    Pythona ep4
    Road Pig ep4
    Golobulus ep3 I'm debating of swapping in the new major bludd right now for the agi buff. Cause globs is dying often without one attack.

    How does someone initiate to steal my points? I understand the revenge part kinda.... Say I'm second place in my group, can I battle the guy in first to steal his points? Or does it come up randomly in PVP.

    Still having a hell of a time winning battle six, I still die ending my streak, so no getting points/ammo, and keep falling in rank. This sucks so bad.


    What formation are you guys using with your cobra squad? I'm using W with...

    Invite SS, Event Destro, Leader CC 125lvl, Zartan, Invite SS

    I tried auto and it replaced one Invite SS with Event CC...Can't add in MH as I never made mine yet.

    Use all TAC so he buffs the shit outta the guys on either side and himself. I made a 112+22 for a 4* and he's in my deck no problems

    Actually I think I've found a pretty sweet combo deck. M form PE Event CC, CC, 6 crd Pimpstro, Agi Buff SS and 7 Card MH. With the AGI buff Pimpy strikes first 99% of the time. I might actually switch to a upside down V form

    Advice time!

    I want a Roadblock in my crew for the guys trying to pvp the joe deck, here's what I got

    1,1,2,2,2,2

    I could make a good 112+22 and get a 99% RB or I could 22+22 and get a 95% but have the 1,1 left for later. What would you do?
