Starting to feel burnt out on the 100k grind
Terminal
Posts: 789
Too many months of grinding 100k (not from opening dupes) and it's finally hit me.
It's really starting to feel like work and not like entertainment anymore. With having to live a life and work and the game draining almost 1% battery per minute, I can't really stay on top of it all.
I don't have a 4* brawler so kind of want this one, but have no interest in beast wars at all. Not sure if I'll make it to the end of this one, and not sure what will happen next month.

Now that that is out of the way, I feel you man. I worked so damn hard for Dinobot and was off by 10,000 chips, clearly not hard enough. I gave up on Megatron, and I am trying hard again on Optimus Primal. I love Beast Wars.
I wouldnt mind it so much if the raid events were longer. To me raid feels like a waste of a feature because of ALL the other grinding we have to do in the mean time. Coupled with the lack of time and no auto battle (its been said before no auto battle to raids...maybe you should get more time to raid...its not the game its you...blah blah blah) trying to get mediocre rewards from intense Alliance Missions and the cost of upgrading high level bots, raid has become a side note to the game. Only 3 people in my alliance raid, and they even feel it is a wasted experience.
The grind in this game is too much for so little.
//Its free to play, what do you want from a game like that. Just spend money. Get Good.\\
Sorry, I was channeling my inner know it all gamer.
but yeah with the chinese new year coming up and other RL stuff (work, part-time studies etc) i think i will wind down my activity in game (except to support Alliamce missions) so to avoid burnout..
P.s. although monkey primal and dinobot are cool , still totally not a beast wars fan here yeah lol
As you get more bots (4*s rank 4 above) the experience will become easier.. Spotlight expert 100% is where u can get a huge chunk of bot chips too without too much effort. They will also make arena easier as rank 4 4*s gives wayy more points in Arena compared to 3* bots.. u just need to do like 2 runs with 3 4* teams to get that top 10% in featured bot Arena.. it is that easy for players like us. Game will become easier as you become better with your team. And of course dumping a bit of money will help such as on 4* crystals or T2 Alpha early on.. right now I don't have to buy T2A anymore and just waiting for T3C to become easy to obtain.
Another thing to bear in mind is that the featured bot crystals appear to contain previous featured bots as well, and they seem to have good drop rates, so sometimes it's better to drop some energon on a few featured bot crystals rather than saving it all up to hammer raid week.
Now if I could just get a 4* tech...

The way I see it, it is a high level reward, that you can attain if you aren't in the high levels by some tough grinding. So I guess what I'm saying is, I would consider yourself lucky that it is even attainable. If you are trying to suggest that they need to change something, I'm not sure what more you could ask for.
he is just having a whinge, let him
dirty sandbagger, you should be ashamed!
It's the strategy I've used to successfully get the 4* every month so far without problems. I have enough 4* to do two cycles to get 10%. Put in the time and you can get it.
But now that we're on our 4th time just doing the exact same thing over and over again, it's getting a bit stale, tedious and monotonous.
Nothing has changed in the game at all.
Tek, you're severely overestimating the chips from AM, it actually makes very little difference. I've documented all the chips.
Nightgaunt's idea about picking rest times was my original idea, this month was supposed to be it, but it's a brawler with purify so I'm trying to push myself, even though Beast Wars means nothing to me. Without a nostalgia hook the game is pretty tough to keep playing. Maybe it's the update or because it's beast wars, I'm noticing how it crashes every couple of arena fights and the battery drain just doesn't seem worth it. Maybe the first couple of times it was a challenge to try, but now it's just a chore and a grind. If the grind is not fun/interesting/challenging, when does the fun part kick in?
Starting to wonder what's the point? :-/
Since I have a head start with the number of dupes I opened this month, Primal might just be the last feature bot I get at 4* for some time to come.. I have 24 x 4* bots now but since I dont spend, T2 alpha sparks are a problem and this has made me feel I cant progress in the game anymore.. Yet another reason for me to slacken off. Currently doing just enough to get the highest tier rewards for feature bot crystal and coming in game only for AM. A far cry from previous when I was doing 1 round of arena every 3-4 hours.
Guilty as charged
the point is T2A and T3C will become easier to grind for free later.. Right now T3C is only limited to paying customers or those that have completed ROK (some payment required once again). One 5* bots are released all their prices will be adjusted and there will be more places to farm them for FREE. Once that happens then more F2P players will have their 4* bots maxed out at rank 5.
If you really love Transformers you'll keep get busy collecting any 4* bots that you're missing or unduped.. That's the point as well. In preparation for the day where tougher contents will appear in game.
Nobody is forcing a player to grind hardcore.. if you feel burnout then take a break.. score less in Arena.. go have a 3 day vacation somewhere in the world.. play some other game like Witcher 3 on your computer (recently reached 100 hours on it.. one of the best games out there imo).. stop raiding so much? Many ways to get back your "oomph" to continue playing the game later.
BUT brawlers is the one and only t3c I didn't need
so I'm feeling the burn right now.
Keep it for grimlock or mv1. Or primal if u have him duped + using beast wars team.
