They really need to streamline the Breaking News process, I can only get 3 fights in per BR when in old events I used to be able to plow through at least double that if not more.

The intro screen animation eats up some time, then theres at least 3 buffs from the opposite team that take 15ish seconds each fight then, your buffs if you have any. The the animation for any cards leveling up and etc etc. I get out of the first fight and only have 1:45 left, almost half the time in 1 fight?

Being able to skip the vehicle animation was a great first step, you should be able to skip alot more of this stuff, even if its only during Breaking News. That or add on an extra minute!  

My main only got Starscream and I havent logged in for 2-3 events so not sure if thats how they judge the gifts?

 

Haha, you don't know how much times I did that with Road Pig.

Anyway, my first match up against Pythona went way better than Road Pig. I caught her. Level 6 didn't offer Pythona, and Failed catcher her in Level 7. Going through Level 8 now and it looks like there's no Pythona at the end.

 

I reset 5 times and no boss on 8. At first I thought it would be odd levels 5 7 9 but someone said they didnt have a boss on 8 or 9 either?

 

Consensus seems to be that there is no boss on 6, 8, and 9.

Boss is on 5 and 7.

 

Another fun run through a effed up dungeon.

Why do we keep playing this bugged up game?

 

So either I didn't explain the issue clearly, the Mobage support guy didn't understand me, or both. Or there really is nothing wrong. But according to him he says there's nothing wrong with the levels and everything "appears to be working as intended". Really??

 

They are idiots. There should be bosses on every Lethal level from 5 on up. I have now not had a boss on 6 and 8.

Again, WHY are we still playing this?

 

Lethal zone 11 is working now!

 

Because we're suckers?

Clearly if we were to ever try and organize a boycott of this, and/or any other Mobage, game, we would fail miserably.

 

Is it possible they changed this on purpose for... some... reason?

Yeah, I got nothing. I still can't believe they launched this event with that unit placement bug still happening.

 

They need to change the language in the event description then because, as I read it, there should be a capturable boss on levels 5-20. If that's not the case, their wording is terrible.

 

I am getting very fed up with the easy to test for bugs that are cropping up. How did they not test this before launch? They would have easily seen all the bugs we are running into?

Sigh... I am officially not playing the next Raid. I need a break from this stupidity. I will login to get my free recruits and to keep my "Last Login date" from getting too high so that people don't unally me...

 

Nope, that is what is supposed to happen but they've had disappearing bosses in every event so far. Normally it only happens AFTER you've beaten the level though.  

 

I hear ya, man. I hate the boss events anyway - snooze - and I feel less accountable to allies in them, so I might be in the same boat.

I am neither a free player nor a big spender, but I can tell you this, too - I won't be spending another dime until we see some player-centric design choices, bug fixes, and communication. I've never had to contact support as often for ANY game (or product, for that matter) in my entire life.

 

Well, not to defend them, but the language still says "battle simulator". So, maybe the language is correct for the past battle sims, and it was intended to have Pythona on certain levels. They just didn't change that intro at all.

As far as why I continue to play. I just want my Nemesis Enforcer! After that, I don't know. I'll leave this thread and go back to the wrestling thread.

 

Do I think it's likely it's intentional? Not really. But this is absolute truth - the devs are very, very sloppy with their in-game text. Every single event has had confusing/contradictory/incorrect stuff in the event details. Every single one.

 

Because it's freakin' GI Joe! Of course, that's the reason why I was playing TF for as long as I did, and I've stopped playing that cold turkey. So MoBage better realize that I do have my limits.

Of course, if anybody wants to try out the new Star Wars: Force Collection game, I've got a referral code in my sig itching to be used.  

 

Yeah, you're right.

Gotta check that out. Although I don't know my Star Wars characters like my GI Joes.

Mobage should do a He-Man. I'll do a bad guy team of Skeletor, Hordak, King Hiss, Fakor, and Trapjaw. And Trapjaw better have a 4*Epic card.

 

Dang you guys are bumming me out  

 

A Star Wars game? Good lord I don't need more things to suck up my time...[Goes to check out the game]
