Ladies and Gentlemen, the state of this game! Kabam has quaked her in heavy weather, and it seems clear that this storm may not end soon. Ever since the 'No new bots' announcement, there has been an ever so slight decline of this game, and the decline has increased rapidly in the last few months. Players are quitting due to no 'new content', the game losing revenue, communication between us and the mods seems to worsen are some problems this wonderful game is facing. Transformers Forged To Fight is phenomenal, for it is the Best Transformers mobile game, no doubt. It started off well, until the tragic day of no new bots. However, all the new stuff, such as the hallowed crystals, Np and Tc, and fog and chrono vectors are great and appreciated. We had some good stuff in 2019, but it was the worst year of this game anyways because of no bots being added.
This game had and still has a lot of potential(It can even outshine Mcoc because the gameplay is significantly superior), and can make a turn around if the team listens to us. For Kabam depends on us on the game just as much as we depend on them. I ask you kabam, why? We did well when new bots were a thing, and new content sometimes happening was okay. But why did you make the decision of no new bots? I know you've said this hundreds of times, but i, and others, think those reasons are not very good. New bots and spotlights would not have been the only content for this game, that i know, because we have had some good stuff in 2017 and 2018.
Kabam, please listen and consider. I know this may be the umpteenth thread that you will probably close down without a sufficient answer, but this question has been looming over us for a long time, and it must be discussed again. Look at the suggestions in BlackRazak's change thread. Most of them could definitely make the game a whole lot better, so why not implement a few of them in? It wouldn't harm anyone. Or, at least talk to us. The communication for topics like these is not great.
Even if this thread does get closed by a kabam member, we only ask that you people at kabam listen. If we both talk like civilized people, we can improve ourselves and the state of the game, which is slowly being withered away because of the problems that can be easily solved by noting, and perhaps even taking action of our feedback.

Kabam literally has people ready to spend money to keep this game afloat. We tell you how to keep us here. We've basically handed you a money printer and told you how to turn it on, yet no one pushes the button.
I don't want this game to go downhill, but I see no other direction.
Miike says there is content coming but keeping it a secret will end up the announcement falling on a very small fraction of players due to them leaving.
Everything decision made in the last year or so has been the opposite of what community has requested.
We're giving you the answers. This is how to be successful.
I’ll be fine with a harder challenge such as ROK3 & a new AM map every 6 months at least and I think this is enough to revive the game again.
These are my 2 cents.
That'll only please the top 10 alliance players , and then there still be no new content for mediocre players
Just give them a break and enjoy what's left and what may come.
Not sure if “grow up” is apt here. I get the sense you mean “move on” more than something like grow up which is personal and suggests the players commenting here aren’t mature/adult. @KillMasterC
We normally see eye to eye on things so didn’t want your comment to be misconstrued given the variety of cultural backgrounds and language challenges that come with online community.
What happens when you don’t tell people what’s going on? They make it up. And the story they make up is almost always worse than reality.
A general six month outline would change a lot of attitudes around here and bring in at least a little more money. Whoever is keeping that from happening must be really good at some other part of their job.
-- Enhanced difficulty for spotlights with increased rewards ( this specially applies to those who have finished rotk and have nothing challenging except AM). The enhanced spotlights difficulty will also motivate growing players to work harder towards strengthening their roster.
-- The next chapter to ROTK should not be even considered since kabam is focussing on the new and growing players thus ROTK still stands a challenge to many.
-- New AM Maps should be introduced. All three AM Maps should be revised now. This will bring a lot more freshness to the game. Also it's time to bump up the AM rewards which will also help the lower alliances to grow.
-- New offers like bundle or solo packages of crystals that awards 3 bots per Crystal and gives a chance to the player to choose one bot out of the three. Something similar to the Nexus crystals that were offered in mcoc recently. Not comparing the game but just for reference.
Apart from the above suggestions I'm sure the players have many other suggestions that can freshen up the game. In short with the existing bots the devs can do much more to take this game up. We don't need new bots we just need new content. NO HATE.
Partially agree
New bots are necessary pal
What will you do after Maxing out every character you like ?
Will you let the resources waste ?
6*s ? I'll take this
a game with no new characters does not intriguie players
Vehemently AGAINST 6* bots.
There is no content that require such statistics, power levels.
Would make D100+, Raids an absolute CAKEWALK.
I'd hate it if everyone could tackle master, harder difficulty events, etc.
6*.
It'd be like using 5* squads to beat medium/hard level spotlight.
Unless they manage new maps, new killer mods, D200+, etc.
Also, since they mentioned no new characters, so this could be the only avenue for content growth.
What Kabam could do is have RATING CAPS (say max 15K (4* squad) for master @ legendary skill level. With new, fantastic rewards).
Yes, some 'pros' have achieved said challenge, so continue lowering the max cap. To shut these gits up.
Doable with 15K?
13K.
Doable with 13K?
11K squad with locked SP3.
Probably 6 stars but again it would be long before the majority of the player base max out their favorite bots. Like I said the company is focussing on new and growing players. The population of new and growing players is a lot more than those who are about to or have already hit the wall. That's why I said kabam is not bothered about the top players anymore.
But yes your question is valid enough. Maybe in the next 2 years or so (if the game lasts that long) once most of the players hit the wall, what would be kabam's next move? I guess maybe most of us will not be around to see that. We all have better game options out there.
And/or
The license seems to be a 2 year license ; for whatever reason they didn’t pay or lost the license meaning they legally cant make new bots
And/or
all resources siphoned off to some other project that is vastly more profitable
I don’t think the mods deserve the hard time they get - they don’t make the decisions, they keep what is left going
In my fevered cheese dreams , new bots return at the 4-year mark, 2 years after they stopped
Agreed my friend.
Also, have you ever gone by the name
“LordZarak”??
Also, I agree that some exploration other than "it was decided to go in a different direction" because the only direction we've seen is down.
Even if they told us "they took staff for another game, we're doing what we can" then tell us the plans for the future, I feel so many players would accept that.
Knowing that the game has a goal will have the player base a goal. For now, there's absolutely no reason to grind Fog or anything for that matter if this is all there will ever be.
I've never even finished RoK because by the time my skill level was up to par, there was no point.
Why try?
Anyway, a little news and a little hope would go a LONG way at this point. There is still a whole lot of love here
They have already answered everything asked here or at least to what they can share. Not much more they can add so while I understand everyone's frustration, there's not much more you can do.
Keep discussing, keep it relatively constructive but don't hope for "hey guys, tomorrow we are dropping new bots, map 4, and AWs". That's just being disllusional and ignoring everything they have said already.
Do state your wishes but don't make demands or think you know exactly how to save they game. It's not as simple as that and there are many factors to consider when you run a business. Much more than just content and development.
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end
We are not hoping for anything beyond the limits of kabam. We are keeping the thread constructive and are giving feedbacks which can be easily done considering kabam is a game developer and this is the least that they can do.
If there is something that we are expecting then that is for the mods to open up more about the inside information which will help us decide if we want to stick to the game or not. If the current state of the game can be improved then we need to know how and when will the same be implied? Forget new bots and 6 stars.. do they have plans for any more challenges (permanent) like the ones I had suggested in my previous post? Anything different that they are planning to freshen up the game? Because if not then most of us will have the clarity to quit the game and not consider dropping dollars on a dead game.
And I sincerely hope that they don't turn up with a vague reply. The game is running because it has players. So at any time the players have questions then I believe they must be answered clearly until everyone is clear.
That's it!
