I haven't been able to devote much time to this at all, so I've written off the likelihood of getting a nemesis.

I really just want a ffully promotedd Bluudd out of the deal, but that might prove difficult,as every time I log in I find thhat someone else has stolen points from me, and I simply refuse to spend the money on reloads to both get those points back and accrue new ones.

Depending on how things play out, this may be my last hurrah for a while.

I'm with you, Spin - I hate the Revenge feature so much that I am really questioning if I want to continue. It's one thing to have it apply to the squad I'm actually using, but it's another thing to force me to lose points for my Joe squad losing when I don't even use that squad and am in no position to make that squad much better than it is. I can often win Revenge matches with my Cobra squad, but most of the Cobra squads that beat my Joe squad are tough enough that I can't beat them even using an All-Out attack. As I've said multiple times before, it's ridiculous how much tougher Cobra squads are than Joe squads, and the new Major Bludd and Nemesis Enforcer cards are only pushing that balance further in the Cobra direction.

Yeah, I flat out hate 'Revenge'. And flag points. I'm not naive; I know they have to make money. But this is getting ridiculous. Also, not to be the "THIS GAME IS RIGGED!" guy, but has anyone else found themselves getting ganked on PvP battles? I've been losing to squads I have no business losing to (low level players with low level characters) because they barrage me with wave after wave of their special attacks and my fully upgraded and levelled characters just do basic attacks. Wasn't happening before the Revenge feature was rolled out.

Suddenly the Cobra squad I've been using to clean up event after event can't win three in a row. This is a development over the past few days. Either everyone I'm playing against has gotten a lot tougher a lot faster or something has altered the odds.

Like I said, I'm sticking it out for Bludd. But this isn't even fun anymore.

The event is bs, as most of them are, but this morning I managed to snag (finally) a second Alpine and Bazooka using only flashbangs, and recruit a Zanya, a 2 star Bat and a R Dice, allowing me to finish my epic Dice off. And those were just off of bronze recruits.

I've managed to do ok with my Cobra squad, though it does seem that my opponents are spamming vehicle attacks. It seems rare that I don't get hit immediately with Missile Barrage by any squad with the leader Snake Eyes, and the newer Lady Jaye cards are piling up the Raider attacks (I got hit with it three times in one battle yesterday ... and still probably would have won if not for the third attack). I've even seen the jetpack Dukes use Calamity Rockets more than ever.

Spin, I guess you had to take your frustration out on me yesterday. I've changed my opinion a bit on Revenge, especially if I get someone that I can beat that also nets me big points. But man, I have periods where my Joe squad gets attacked by the entire top 20 of the event within 5 minutes. I can beat some of them, but I'm not even bothering against squads that have two Nemesis Immortals, two Cold Slither Zaranas, and a Resolute Cobra Commander. The new Spirit card looks promising (not that I have one), but it still doesn't really help balance out the power between a Joe and Cobra squad.

I'm probably going to get a double promotion today. At last check, I had over a million points for the day, while the next nearest competitor had around 50,000.

Nothing personal on the point grab, Thomas. The fact that you were literally the easiest choice I was given that round should tell you something about the way the game's been treating me.

I'll be lucky not to get demoted today.

I've been doing pretty well today, getting 1.6 million in my group. Maybe missing out on the two days helped in a way, because I'm being grouped with other players that aren't particularly powerful. In my Rival Battles, I feel bad for essentially picking on one guy that has a one-star Mutt, a one-star Jinx, a General Hawk, a one-star 30th Falcon, and a two-star regular Falcon, but for some reason the game keeps giving me more points for attacking that player rather than other players in my group (though all of them seem to have at least one weak card in their Joe squad).

I'm now around the 200 rank for the event, and I'm hoping I can make up the gap to get in the top 150 so I can get five additional Major Bludd cards. As it is now, I replaced my leader Cobra Commander with my one-star event Bludd, and I feel like it has been a good replacement since I know that the Remorseless Command boost will always be executed. Combine that with Rally Troops (which is still as unreliable as ever, sadly), and it seems to more than make up for the loss in offense. I look forward to having an even more powerful Bludd that should be able to provide a decent contribution beyond the pre-battle boost.

Also, Spin, no offense taken. It just felt a bit sad that one of my Allies wouldn't take pity on my crappy Joe squad.

I ended up getting a Commander ranking and finishing 139 in the event, good enough for the five reward Bludds I wanted. I'm impressed I was able to get three double promotions in a row, and I was never seriously challenged on any of the days. It certainly helped that I had so many ammo reloads stocked up. How did I celebrate this big win? By accidentally dismissing one of my reward Falcon cards.

I got two silver coins!

I ended up spending a few bucks on reloads and got double promoted day before yesterday. Then I moved up in the rankings to the mid-400s yesterday, so I got the Bludds I wanted for a four-star promotion.

I also got a ton of rare cards when cashing in all the coins I collected. I'm going to have like two additional 4-star Roadblocks, a second 4-star Xamot, a newer 4-star Lady Jaye and a fully promoted Toxo-Viper once I'm done leveling them all up, and all from cards acquired through silver and bronze cash-ins in a single day.

On ttop of that, I got two-star Snake Eyes, Scarlett and Jinx cards today when I cashed in my two gold reward coins and three free daily bronzes.

I did decently well with my Gold reward tokens and other tokens through the event, getting two more regular Roadblock cards, another 1-star Pilot Scarlett, a one-star Spy Troops Zarana, and a two-star Chuckles. The first two give me enough to make a strong 4-star card out of both Roadblock and Scarlett, once I get them leveled up. For now though, I'm still working on my Golobulus and Bludd cards, which is made easier since I can finally go back to the Florida Everglades levels and get massive XP per battle. I basically was stuck on the Brazil final zone for the event because the Everglades levels don't have many open spaces and therefore fewer changes for PvP triggers.

I just got a Big Brawler from one of those "investigation" spots. Didn't know you could do that, or that he was in the game.
