Got 2* Hot Spot in crystal #22.

 

The reshuffle IS accounting for that. If you are new and need to strengthen your troops, you come down to the feeders and train up until you are ready for the big leagues. You should, in theory, then be surrounded by true peers with which to gauge your activity level against players with similar bot strengths or gameplay ability.

 

I'm hitting zones 9, 7, and 7... so about the same as you, but I've been between rank 3-5 for pretty much the entire event. And I know there's one person who is hitting lower zones than either of us, but is ahead of me.

So I don't think there's anything to account for. It accounts for itself. People who are lower level and are attacking lower zones also tend to have shorter cooldowns, so they can attack more often. I think this is exactly the kind of event needed to decide where everyone goes. The events where every zone maxes at 10 points are good for showing base participation, but if we decided by that, it would screw up wars for everyone. Because someone might be great for participation but not be able to beat the first base in a war for a higher alliance.

 

Just got 3* hotspot after hitting just a bit over half way .. Praying for a 4* now   About 4 other people on my alliance got a 4* and quite a few of them 3*.

 

I was going to save all my crystals until the end, but I caved and did the first 15. Nothing. No Hot Spot, no characters whatsoever.

 

I open them as soon as I get them; if u do get a 3* or 4* can level them right away

 

My Autobot alliance G1GENERATION is on Prestige 14, most of us have Hot Spot in our teams. I myself have a: 2*, 3*, and 4* Hot Spot. I'm the only alliance member so far with a 4* Hot Spot. I'm trying to level them up as evenly as possible. So what is the maximum level that a 4* robot can go to?

 

Level 60. It's a long journey to get there, though. Once you get past level 40, it can take up to a week of continuous play to move up a single level, even with double XP on weekends. I can only imagine how slow leveling up will be after 50. My highest characters right now are about level 43-45, so I guess I'll find out in about a month or so lol

 

I think 50 is the max for all bots at the moment.

 

I think it should be 60. 2-stars can reach 40, 3-stars should reach 50 and 4-stars Should reach 60.

 

That's weird then that 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star characters all have different max levels, 10 levels apart, but 3-star and 4-star characters would have the same max.

 

The 4 stars are supposed to be 60, but at the moment 50 is the highest for 3/4 stars.

 

If my alliance can keep up our pace, then I'll have enough shards to buy a 3* crystal. Hoping to pull a 3* or 4* Hot Spot today as well.

 

Mirage was having another 'funny visions' day.



I should note there were more Mirages in other bits of the base as well.

 

My alliance got 4 more crystals overnight. So it was a good morning pulling that 4 star Hot Spot. Finally, my first 4 star. Hurray

 

Zones aren't an issue dude unless you are looking to compete with Wing, O, Brut & Sen... for example, I'm hitting 7 & 9 so not much difference. Yet I'm a bit further up the leader board from you. It's more about fuel cell usage and 24/7 play.

 

It's really abt the efficient usage of fuel cells n grinding. I'm doing 5k a day so far running 11/10/8 earlier to 11/10/7 now to lvl up some new chars (4* hotspot, 4* JF, 3* hotspot, 3* IH, 3* ratchet). I try to time my cooldowns perfectly n try not to hit max fuel at all.

I'm pretty sure I play/grind more than OF, Brut, n Sent that's why I'm barely ahead of them.

 

I'm at 6k points right now. By my calculations if I had been as efficient as possible the max I could have is about 8400. I couldn't play during work on Friday though except lunch so that's a loss of 1000-1500 points, then the rest must be slight inefficiencies in fuel usage, or when the zones go wacky or bots go dumb and lose a battle here or there. But I've worked my ass off to get those 6k points and am barely in the top 25. So you either have to be playing higher zones or be able to be 100% efficient for the entire 3 days of the event.

 

My Alliance members are pissed. I was able to get a 2 and 3 star Hot Spot. Many where able to get a 2, 3, or 4 star but some put in just as much work as I did and still have not got him at all. Some are ready to stop playing entirely because of this.
