    Revenge of the King question. Will direct damage sources (bleed, shock, dark burn etc) contribute to the 500 damage threshold or is it just hit damage?

    This will have a massive impact on bot choice.

    The only one you list that will come close to 500 damage is dark burn, and I suspect no since the heavy will knock a stack off. But even if it did, it's too hit or miss to matter. I've NEVER seen a bleed or shock stack even close to 500 per tick.

    The way I read it is that it isnt 500 per hit, but a sum total. So every 500 damage you deal (over 1 hit or 10) hits the threshold.

    Now you have. First time for everything. It's a valid question.

    It was ticking at over 500 long before that point in the fight:

    Special circumstances that will likely not apply, but I concede the point.

    ROK 2.0 will have fights at least as long against a bleeder for sure, and BC is likely to make another appearance because of his skillset.

    Will opening 2*,3* mods etc give shards as well? Also any plans for t2 sparks or w/e they're called for for bringing 4* mods past 2/20?
  • Will selling T2Cs give T3C shards?

    more info today hopefully :)
  • @Kabam Miike What was the process for choosing which bots were going to be the first 5* bots? I notice a lot of the top performing bots weren't chosen and most are very good bots but they're very middle of the road. No criticism intended as I'm very excited for these.

    Hey there -

    The choices made were somewhat based on how we could split up the bots between the different Generations and Factions. In this choosing, we also had to consider which bots could be used for their varying strengths within different situations. :)
  • I’m impatient haha, any more info? ;)@Kabam Miike

    Soooon.

    Wondering what the 5* crystal and 5* portrait looks like ;)
  • More information! Let's take a look at what you can expect for Away Missions, and Objectives when 6.0 Drops! Also coming today... Patch notes!

    Are arena chips being replaced with arena crystals for away missions? Or is it completely removed?
  • ToughTough Posts: 237
    What!!!!? Arena chips completely gone? So we are still sticking with giving arena crystals for rank rewards :/
  • LaprasLapras Posts: 258
    I am not sure how I feel about cutting out Arena chips. They were already cut way back when they changed the arena payouts

    Arena Chips have stuck around far too long after they were meant to be removed completely. This is the last place you could get them, and now it's time for them to say goodbye completely. I know, we all loved them, but they were just creating clutter that wasn't needed.
  • ToughTough Posts: 237
    Ok, question. You mentioned a gold arena miike, any news on that?
  • Words aside, outcome:
    + milestone
    - energon/gold

    Opinion: Will only calm the noise makers for two weeks.
  • BigbowlrBigbowlr Posts: 121
    Does removing the chips just mean you'll be adding arena crystals to the milestones of arena? Or is rank rewards the only way to get them now?

    There will be Away Missions that contain Arena Crystals!

    You'll be able to get them from Rank Rewards AND Milestones!

    I've NEVER seen tier 1 alpha shards in away missions, maybe you mean basic?
