Same here. I wonder if some of these rare event cards will be available to recruit or if we'll get another crack at them some other way? Because I've got a PDiddyDestro I want to take from 3 to 4 stars as well.

I also only got 2 Metal Heads. Combined with that extra I got from nowhere, I now have a 3-star Metal Head. Not bad, but I wanted that damn Buzz Boar. I got a gold coin this time as well, it was good for......... a 1 star Shipwreck. Whoopie.

Anyone else's game all jacked up right now?

They announced the new event and gave me like 21 recruits to redeem. I redeemed them, and now I can't even get into my temporary surplus. Every time I click it, it locks the game.

Working fine for me. It's also like Christmas. I haven't completed a level and had TONS of rewards. Defeated Snake Eyes like 8 times.

I got an event Storm Shadow card (RAHC Storm Shadow), but his TAC, AGI, and DEF either stay the same or drop every time he gains a level. I've never seen that happen with any card before, so I'm guessing that is a bug.

Snake Eyes is like a pinata, every time you beat him all sorts of goodies fall out, it almost makes up for having to look at him decked out in his BJs Exclusive outfit!

A new event already?!

Anyone else getting network errors?

_________________

Yep.

Got a ton of errors, then the game told me they were down for maintenance. That is the one down side to this game. It hangs a ton waiting to pull data from the server. It always says my connection is bad as the excuse. 4G, 25Mbps WiFi, doesn't matter it still does it. I hate that part of the game.

Anyway, I like this event a lot better than the last. The simulator is kind of boring, this is far more interesting. And I finally get to start macking out my Cobra team which is way behind. But it won't be for long. Some of those event coins I got just gave me another Epic Firefly so I could upgrade mine to 4 stars. Too bad there is no vehicle attack. I also got another Tomax to get him to 3 stars.

Back up now. I just drew a rare Dice (didn't even know he was in the game yet), which is awesome.

_________________

I've managed to get two of the Dice cards, one 1-star and the other 2-star, as well as a 4-star Zartan. I was also seeing the network problems last night, but once it finally said the network was down for maintenance, it finally started working.

On the last Battle Simulator event, my Joe team was so relatively weak that my entire squad was my leader Flint and event Dusty and Gung Ho cards. This event, most of my A-team Cobras are more powerful than the event cards. Some of my Laser-Vipers are finally getting decently powerful, but I still prefer having Destro, former sign-up bonus Storm Shadow, and Zartan on hand since they can do the six-hit special attacks, and I do like having my Resolute Cobra Commander on hand to give the Rally Troops boost to my leader Cobra Commander and my event BJ's Storm Shadow Overall though, I wish I had time and the capacity to level up all those Road Pig cards I got from the last event.

Here are some of the rare cards I've gotten out of this event. Mind you these don't include the point system rewards. Just the event coin recruits.
2 x event Storm Shadows
4 x event Laser Vipers
Toxo-Viper
3 star Tomax
2 star Roadblock (which I used my other maxed out 2 star Roadblock to promote to a 3 star Roadblock)

Here's my event lineup
Front:
Red BJs Storm Shadow (with Hisstank unlocked); Resolute CC; Leader Destro; Crimson Guard (for the AGI boost); Level 70 4 star Laser Viper
Back:
Level 60 4 star Laser Viper; Level 30 4 star Laser Viper; 3 star Zartan; Zarana (for the Attack boost); 2 star event Storm Shadow

_________________

I've got three four-star Stormys up front with a four-star Destro and my leader CC breaking them up.

In back I have three Laser-Vipers (two at four stars, one st three), another four-star red Stormy and my four-star Resolute CC.

Most of them are maxed or near maxed in their special skills, partly because I've used any other event-elites I recruited or got as rewards to power them up.

I've also recruited enough rares during this event to upgrade a bunch of my rare and epic characters (Major Bludd, Destro, three different CCs, Tomax and Zartan).

I only got one Dice so far and TARGAT was the only other card I hadn't seen before.

I got a bunch of "LASER BLAST" GARBAGE. I've had over 100 recruits today and not one has been worth keeping.
