And? Tax write-off or not, the money still goes to the fires. Would you rather have it not go towards the cause then?

 

You could try joining Trypticon (rank 296). We have a spot open. We finished the last event with about 12 hours to spare.

 

Maybe donate directly, instead of through a skinner box?

 

Yup, that's what I did. I'll donate when and what I can but not through a corporation.

 

Sure, or do both. It doesn't matter. If people want to donate and at the same time get something out of a game they enjoy playing, let them have it. There's nothing wrong with having more avenues to support a cause.

 

Depends on your research lab. With every level that will increase it with 10.
2* lv40
3*, 4* and 5* lv60

 

I don't know. I've been trying to stick because they made me officer and I like my fellow officers and fearless leader...

 

It is all about priorities. I stuck with my previous alliance probably longer than I should have out of loyalty and getting a long with some of the top players. However, I was frequently putting up 20% or more of our event points and missing out on top prizes. 4* shards are slow to accumulate and they don't always put 2500 shards at relatively low point like 115,000. Sometimes it is closer to 300,000.

 

Slightly disappointed as I already had a 4 star Razorclaw but he's a good warrior.
Event left me 80 shards short of my 5th 4 star...not that I would put it past this game to give me a duplicate.

 

I've had 3 in a row be duplicates after last weekend. (4* crystals)

 

Ouch! Hope you have more than the handful of 4 stars I have.
I got really pissed at the game a couple of months ago when 7 of 8 3 star crystals were dupes and I was still missing over 2/3s of the 3 stars available.

I've been wondering this for a while: what does "Super XP" mean for events? I really hate when games are ambiguous.

 

Double, triple experience then normal. Great for power leveling.

 

Some events say "Triple XP" and some just ambiguously say "Super XP"

 

And a 2 star Thrust

What are the best bots to use for defense? Right now I've got Hun-Gurrr, Deathsaurus and Sentius Malus.

Are minion summoning bots any good for the midweek Cybertron raids or do all the defenses just shred the minions? Because my 4 star Soundwave is about up to fighting level now.

 

Gnaw, Soundwave, Scourge and Sentius are a few.

 

So Sentius(3 star with Amalgamous Prime core), Soundwave(4 star) and Scourge(3 star)? I should note that my Hun-Gurrr is also 4 star. Razorclaw and Lockdown are my only other 4 stars.

 

Early on it's all about abilities. Scourge is hard to kill before it. Sentius and Soundwave cost time. The other ones need to be high level in high level outpost to be hard. Hun-Gurr can be fun but Razerclaw and Lockdown are too easy to take out fast.

 

Any Decepticon commanders that want to join Unicron Knights to help with the event? I am an officer and can approve you. We are only on prestige 5.  

 

The last 2 event crystals gave me 4 star shards, everyone welcome my 5th 4 star:

I'm pretty pleased with the pull since I don't have the 3 star version and only recently pulled the 2 star. He seems pretty powerful. Only thing that might have been better would be G1 Megatron or one of Predaking's missing legs...really ready to have at least one combiner!!

The bad news is, looks like my alliance is ending this event at prestige 7.
