    It's the only way to acquire a significant amount of spark w/o buying it directly or indirectly with crystals.

    I feel like I always have way more spark than I'm going to use. The rise in power from level to level is so minimal that I kind of hate to waste the energon on leveling up a skill for a 2-star character beyond maybe level 4.

    edit: bam, I just got another 2,500 spark from my free crystal :(

    Your special abilities do damage that's a multiplier of DPS and a number based on the ability level. Having higher levels makes it easier to win. In particular, right now I'm trying to get Fireflight's above 1900 damage per use as he'd then be able to one-hit level 8 lasers. I need higher DPS through higher character levels or the 130k spark to up his ability level 7.

    Yeah, I just mean I don't want to waste too many resources on 2-star characters I plan to replace as soon as possible... Any 3-stars I have or 4-stars I will hopefully get eventually, I will throw everything at and upgrade abilities as much as I can.

    Not if you have a weak squad like me, but an awesome alliance...nearly daily 150k bonuses from the team winning keep me going!

    This is me complIning again about Upgrade-scaling. So to take a 2* from 20 to 21 takes 85k Energon... To take them from 30 to 31 takes 490 THOUSAND???

    Pffft, this is going to be ridicoulus real quick. That and the fact that I raid Zone 5 for an awesome win of almost 3K. Yeah, right... Get your shit together and fix the damn raiding Zones.

    It doesn't really help that there is an event every weekend. And the rewards for war winning are a joke. At least give us some shards or something.

    I hate, that I love Transformers so much that I keep playing this shitty game.

    if the person you are raiding has nothing for you to raid, it doesn't matter what zone you're in, you will get crappy returns.

    Why is that so hard to understand?

    I can attack a zone 12 for all i care. If the guy I'm attacking has spent all his resources on a building and left almost nothing for me to steal, i will get peanuts.

    That's how the game works! You can do the same to other people as well.

    So you just have to keep attacking until you get lucky and find someone who has been storing his resources to save for a building.

    It's all about luck

    Sometimes you don't have to win to get resources, just go for the alloy and energon storage, especially if you know its gonna be a loss.

    This. A regular raid for resources doesn't necessarily mean you must destroy their HQ; a quick smash and grab (or even suicide charge) on their energon/alloy storage can get a majority of their stock, especially if they're dumb and place their resources out front as "walls".

    Also, in my experience, events are mostly for double EXP to power level new bots faster, and war rewards are a supplement to what you should be getting from regular raiding (although the spark is significant and adds up if you're not paying to win).

    Hmm... I don't get that message. I use my wi-fi connection at home and play Transformers Earth Wars, and avoid using data altogether.

    It's a group effort and every little bit helps. Personally I love the spark and the energon and alloy are nice bonuses. I've got about 90k spark right now and I'm about to upgrade a couple of the bots to level 6 abilities for 1.7M energon. Expensive, but worth it.

    The game is extremely buggy. Issues with pathing, issues with powers, balance issues, random UI issues. Poor quality from the development team thus far. Couple that with the double costs (time / fuel cells) when raiding, random characters (no way to build the army YOU want much less obtain all characters), and the high cost of packs which give you little play time return. Read an analysis that said something along the lines f you get 1/20th the play time in this game for every $1 spent compared to Clash of Clans. That's a huge disparity. They just don't seem to have thought the play time / raiding pieces out very well.

    Must be nice. I'm starving for Spark as I'm hitting HQ11 today. I stayed with a bad alliance for far too long.

    So do I. It only happens after an event battle, I've noticed.

    Which faction? We have both Autobot and Decepticon teams that play pretty much daily. Both are under "TFW2005" if you want to join up.

    Possible stupid question just occured to me. Has anyone got bots like grimlock jazz prowl blaster from free crystals or are they strictly from paying? Even if two stars. Just curious

    Autobots. Fully upgraded base too. No rushing. :) 

    Last I looked the tfw Autobots was full. Joined Autobots Rising yesterday'ish, it's a feeder alliance for the Autobots (15th ranked alliance). So hopefully this will be better.

    Almost positive I've gotten 2* jazz and prowl from free crystals. Know I've gotten slag from free. But I have bought some packs, so I don't know for sure I didn't get jazz & prowl from those.
