Commanders!
Shockwave proved a worthy adversary and boss in Alliance Missions, but the struggle for control of the Decepticons has brought a new challenger to the throne of Alliance Mission Boss. The deranged and power hungry Galvatron is here!
Remember! Alliance Wars are now on a 4-Day on, 3 day off schedule! They will now start at 5am Pacific Time every Thursday morning!
Map and Node Changes
Forgotten Ruins:
The Forgotten Ruins map is only seeing a small update, with Shockwave being replaced by Galvatron (with a Defensive Power Gain buff), and Megatron taking the place of Ramjet as the miniboss, with a Synergy node that will let him place extra Impair Charges.
Shattered Lands:
Similar to the Forgotten Ruins map, Ramjet will be replaced by Megatron, also with a Synergy buff that will grant him a chance to Stun opponents upon placing 20 impair charges. Starscream bows out as Soundwave and his Heavy Attack Stun buff move down to the 2nd Miniboss space. Taking Soundwave’s spot as the last Miniboss will be Shockwave, with his Synergy buff granting him the ability to passively generate Energy Charges.
Milestone Changes
Since we are now moving away from the 5-Day schedule of Alliance Missions, we’re reducing the points needed to achieve Milestones in Alliance Missions. The rewards haven’t changed this time, but remember that you’ll also be able to score Featured Bot chips from Milestone Rewards on weeks 2 and 4 of the month!
That’s it for this new iteration of Alliance Missions, commanders! There’s lots of new things going on in New Quintessa, and it’s all coming on October 5th! Prepare yourselves!

Those have not been updated this time around.
Thanks, any news on am completion rewards being increased or not?
I just answered this in another thread, so please pardon the copy and paste!
I've talked to the team, and they have not changed the Completion this time around, but are going to be keeping an eye on this. This is our first time doing the 4 Days/3 Days and we want to know more about how people play before we make any choices regarding Map Rewards.
And I’m not thrilled with start time either but completing should not be a concern
It doesn’t really matter when it starts or finishes as long as your team play at roughly the same time as each other. Regardless when it begins, you’re always gonna be asleep for some of it, at school/work for some of it, whatever. This only changes which part of the map you’re up to in the morning/evening
We're discussing this right now actually, but since this next week is once again a free week, we haven't discussed it much yet.
Possible to change the reset to Wed before AM starts, thus giving us time to ensure all donations from AM gold rewards are in? Thank you.
I think you're right... On it!
Very true Trailfire, gaming is international. I would be interested to know if there was any player activity research done by Kabam. Even my European players think it is a bad time to start. 5am is 2pm in many parts of Europe when folks are at work or school...
I don’t fault Kabam for changing times if the current isn’t optimal for the majority but I fail to see how this particular time is an improvement rather than an obstacle.
Great suggestion +1
Mike said just yesterday that they did this based of analysis of player activity. I wouldn’t call it “research” exactly, I’m sure they just look at login/AFK times in aggregate from their own servers, found the hours when the highest number of players were playing, and timed it to coincide. Or possibly the opposite - found the 6hrs when fewest ppl played and synced it to that
But ultimately, a 24hr event doesn’t *really* matter what time of day it begins. It still takes up the same parts of every day.
What I think they really looked at, was which days of the week are more and less popular
