GeneralsJoes has the basic rundown for those of you watching from the sidelines. http://generalsjoes.com/2013/09/17/g-i- ... golobulus/

Played this morning while I got everything up and running and manged to get a 4 **** Mainframe already.

I went into the weekend event strong. And then fizzled out as the weekend wore on. I didn't earn a thing at the end of it. This game demands multiple interactions everyday for a big payoff. Some weeks I just don't have that kind of time.

I loved Psych Out's NOT IN GAME, but unfortunately they've since renamed it Static Blast.

I got the rare Mutt and Junkyard, too. And a bunch more mainframes.

That is unfortunate! I wish that they would have named it Static Cling instead.

I finished 74 in the event. At one point I was as high as 42, but it's tough to make any headway even playing as much as I did. I mostly stopped putting effort in midway through day 6 since I was too high to get knocked down to the next lower reward tier and too low to get to the next higher tier (plus, I had gotten all of the in-event rewards by day 3). After that point, I would almost exclusively just use my time-based ammo reloads and attack any bosses that I could get actual ammo reloads as a reward. It was nice having five 4-star Stalkers to deal out massive damage, especially that one time I did 4.5 million damage without using an all-out attack, and I even got MVP twice against a level 50 rampaging boss for a cool 110,000 points each time. But, it also got kind of boring having the same team fight the same boss over and over again.

There was another app update on Monday, which apparently implemented the Revenge feature and fixed the big with looking up PvP and event rankings. It did not fix my Falcon ability problem nor the issue with not getting the opportunity to capture Desert Scorpion.

Yea that Stalker is a BEAST

I did okay for this event considering I couldn't play every day. Ranked in the mid-300s. I really wish these events were shorter and more spread out.

I was doing great, but then I had to go on a rather agonizing work retreat and missed the last two days of the event. I was so close to a Golobulus.

Edit: actually, after posting this, I checked the game and had a crap ton of stuff in surplus, including a Golobulus. So I'm happy.

It usually takes them a couple of days to get the rewards out there.

PvP event - Global Warfare: Nemesis Rising

_________________

Crap. I'd skip this, but they had to put Bludd on the line. Bastiches!

Wow, a Legendary card? I'm glad I saved up my ammo reloads. Global Warfare usually only has one reward card, so I guess the event reward structure may be different.

...have they told us what the hell Flag Points are yet?

_________________

I had quite the opening day. I got a double promotion and the in-event Major Bludd card already. I could do even better if the app didn't go back to executing Rally Troops 20% of the time (70% chance, my ***). I guess that the Revenge feature is fully implemented, as now you can get "revenge" on players that attacked your squad (and you apparently lose points unless you get revenge). That unfortunately means I have to keep my Joe squad as strong as possible, which isn't much.

I'm confused about Nemesis Enforcer. I've seen some Cobra squads that have him, and he has the Immortal Glance ability that increases defense of the squad. However, the event Nemesis Enforcer has a different special ability listed. Are there two separate ones?

There is a Nemesis Immortal you get with Flag Points. Which I still don't know how you get.

I think you get Flag Points by purchasing some of the upper level Recruit options, but I haven't tried it. I haven't even played since Saturday, and it's looking like this event may be a total loss for me.
