                                     Transformers Legends The Game

16 de Julio

Okay, the time has come to have a little sit down with our resident BADA$$ Wardeal, AKA El Número Uno

Here he explains the recipe for winning, what it takes, and what to expect, as well as other tips to up your game should you decide to take it to the next level. So, without further ado, I give you WARDEAL UNPLUGGED.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-Q. How long have you been playing and what got you started on TFL?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-A: I have an iPad and iPhone so when it came out for IOS…I was all about it. I’m 39 and grew up with transformers and still have some from my childhood. So seeing a game like this and the artwork and remembering my childhood… I had to start playing it. Fatal Furies was my first event.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-Q. On average, how much time do you spend on the game during on event?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-A: Hard to judge this one for total hours. On the average I’ll have the game up on the phone or ipad at least 8 hours a day…minimum. Just plug it in…get a stand…and turn off screen lock/timeout so it stays up. That way you can see anything to snipe and can scan when you get energy…etc. But the rank you’re going for really determines how many hours you have to put into the event.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-Q. Without giving up your trade secrets, what advice do you have for new players? Mid level players? What's your recipe for coming out on top?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-A: Okay, let's start with the new players.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">*New players. The main thing they should be doing is enjoying the game. Work through the missions…learn about cards…see what all they can collect. The events should be extra ‘fun’…not something they stress over. Just play…smack stuff when you want…and enjoy learning how the game works and MTM cards…etc.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">Do not worry about money…or ranks…or anything like that when you’re new. Just enjoy the game and start learning how to build your deck with warriors and weapons. There’s a lot more to it than just clicking that 'recommended’ button.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">*Mid level players: Start learning more about how your deck really works. Understand how important the right weapons are for the right warrior. And at this point…you shouldn’t be relying on that ‘recommended’ button for your deck.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">You should know how to tweak it and start getting the right people into the front and back rows with the right weapons and any (x) event bonus with it. Learn about how important defense is on your front row. Having the right deck build-out with the right weapons add people in the right spots…makes all the difference in what you’re taking down.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">Also…you should know by now about banking/farming cubes…and that’s important. You should also be setting ‘goals’ for yourself in an event. Be it a certain ranking or a certain point value…set it and talk with others to find out the average points to get there and time put in. Also…as a mid-level player…you should be part of a community at this point and gaining active playing ally’s.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">DO NOT just go random in the game on picking ally’s…that’s the worst. Start using the Facebook pages and forums to find people to ally up with and then clear out all the rest of the garbage. Just because you have a 100 ally slots doesn’t mean you ‘need’ a 100 ally’s in them. So find those that are putting in the same time, effort, and play when you do so you can cross seed bosses to each other and help take down.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">My recipe for coming out on top is 3 things: Time, team, scanning. I’ll break these down:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">*Time: If you think this is a game you can hop on and play for 30 minutes to an hour and ‘win’…you’re playing the wrong game. Each tier in this game requires a certain amount of time to stay in it. If you’re not willing to devote that much time…and yes it takes a ton…day after day…then play for a lower tier or rewards. Don’t get mad and frustrated that you can’t spend the time playing it…not everyone can.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">So just enjoy what time you can play and what rewards that

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">will bring you. But yes…time is the #1 requirement for being on top. I don’t care how much money you spend…how powerful your deck is. If you don’t put in the time…you will never come out on top. I’ve seen decks doing pvp during an event that blow the one I have away. There are people that will pay to have a full deck of 9 MTM x10 cards. Guess what…if they won’t put in the time…they won’t come out on top.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">We’ve all seen that deck with what…7 MTM Rodimus x10 cards in it? Funny…pretty sure that guy didn’t finish first. Money alone will not win you this game. TIME…time is what will win you the spots you want.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">*Team: Allies are so crucial…I can’t stress this enough. You have to have people that are actively playing the times you are and are willing to ‘hit’ a boss…not just try and snipe it. And you do the same for them. You cross seed with these allies. This is so you’re not constantly scanning yourself and can help tag/kill your ally’s bosses. Join a community…find good people that want to help each other and play and will spend a cube to help someone. That’s how you gain the points. That’s how you start coming out on top…because you didn’t try to do it alone. There’s no way I get the scores I do without the help of my allies.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">I will never try and take credit and say I did it all by myself cause that’s not true. I work with a great team of players that want it just as bad as I do and we work together and toss cubes all around so that we all achieve our goals. Find yourself some great allies and this game will become a whole lot more fun.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">*Scanning: Look… get that everyone wants to ‘save a cube’ and make them go as long as they can. And that’s great depending on the rank you want to make. But all the top players are scanning like mad. We don’t sit around for hours and hours hoping to ‘snipe’ something. We’re out there generating our own points. We scanning and scanning and our allies are scanning and then it’s just time to kill all the bosses.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">You will never…ever…ever get into the higher ranks if you’re not willing to keep scanning and generating points for yourself. Good allies will always help feed you more points but you can’t just rely on that for advancement. I see all the time people griping and moaning about ‘my queue is empty.’ Well how about you get out there and scan some of your own? You’re mad you’re slipping ranks? Stop being mad and start scanning and getting your own bosses to kill and get points with.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">You cannot expect to be on top in this game if you think sitting around even if it is for hours staring at a queue and hoping someone will send you something is your recipe for winning.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-Q. How much money, on average, do you spend per Episode?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-A: I would love to tell you this is a ‘free to play’ game. And as long as you’re happy with whatever you get playing that way…then it can be for some. But anyone…anyone wanting to get into the higher tier rewards must spend. Now that can be on cards, cubes, whatever. But there’s never going to be a player sitting in 1st place that’s never spent a dime on this game at any point.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">It’s the way it’s built. On the average though…I personally spend an average of $200 an event. Sometimes a little more…sometimes a little less…depends on cubes I’ve banked…rank I’m going for…luck with the space bridge pulls...etc. That may be a lot to some…and little to others. Remember everyone has what they want to spend their money on and what their income is to allow them to do so.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">Judge…don’t judge…either way is fine. At least I’m being honest in saying that you do have to spend money if you want to come out on top.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-Q. How do you handle the naysayers who say the top ranking people "hack" or cheat in some way?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-A: I’ve noticed that when people see someone else getting what they want and they can’t get it…they’d much rather claim that the reason someone else is winning instead of them must be through cheating right? Cause they don’t want to admit they’re not good enough, not enough time, not enough money, not enough allies.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">No…they’d much rather scream “Cheater/Hacker” cause then they can justify to themselves why the basically….suck. I for one am against any kind of hacking/cheating. I despise people that do and if there is anyone out there doing it in this game…I love the fact that I’m crushing you the old fashion way! I welcome anyone at Mobage to review my account or phone/ipad for anything.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">I’ve even thought of making a video of me playing and showing how when you reach a certain deck power and have great allies…how quickly you can make a ‘million points’ in this game. I’m damn proud that I’ve worked hard to come out on top and it was a 100% hard work and effort and team (and some money spent) to do it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">Everyone needs to realize that there are a lot of good players out there…and I know a lot in the top 100 every week…and we don’t cheat…we don’t hack…we work our butts off. So stop trying to find an excuse for your own shortcomings and realize that some people just want it more than you do.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-Q. What do you do in-game during the times in-between Events, if anything?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-A: Well with the back2back events they’ve been doing…there has been very little time for much other than resting up. But medals tend to be what I spend a lot of time on. When you’re playing and chasing the top…you don’t have much time during the event to crack them open. So you tend to do that afterwards. So that’s the main thing I do in game between events. That and also clean up the ally list.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-Q. Do you plan on staying with TFL for a while? What do you hope to see in the future with this game?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-A: I’m not going anywhere. I’m frustrated with a lot of different parts with this game. I’ve offered suggestions just like all of you have. But I enjoy the game still and honestly…each week is a crap shoot on what Mobage is going to change up on us.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">As for what I want to see in the future…that’s a pretty long list. And a lot of it is the same as the rest of the community wants. Funny thing is my top “I want” things right now would be more spots for weapon and warrior storage. 200 for warriors and 100 for weapons is just WAY too small. Think about how many cards they give out as rewards…and as event cards each week.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">People don’t want to delete cards they worked hard for months ago cause there’s no more room. That needs to be fixed ASAP in my mind. And follow that up with a better ‘open/sell’ system for the medals and start allowing people filters to auto sell different rank cards if they want. Let us open by the hundreds if we want…but can’t go into our inventory till we’ve sorted or sold or whatever on the amount we opened. I could grip about a lot of other things but most people already know and cover it. I just want more slots.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-Q. Does TFL during Event times allow you time to play any other games, and if so which ones?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">-A: Sure…god you need to make some time for other things too. I’ve been gaming all my life…from the Atari to the C64 when I was a kid to now. I’ve always been a gamer. I always make time for new games. Most currently playing “Last of Us”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">I have a few others waiting as well but last few events have been a little time consuming. Probably sad to some out there but I’m really looking forward to that new South Park RPG coming out soon. May have to take a break from TFL for that one! Oh..and when “Beyond: Two Souls” drops…I’m there.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">THERE YOU HAVE IT! Thanks for the interview Wardeal and I hope this helps all of our players with questions and insights into what it takes to be part of the top 100.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:#E8E8E8;mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">Stay tuned for our next tidbit of juicy TFL News. Till then KEEP ON GAMING

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#E8E8E8; mso-themecolor:background1;mso-themetint:26">
