P.S: Episode Megatron better than Episode Omega Supreme now?

I can speak for them! I was already exhausted from furious play in back to back events and was mostly burned out. Once I saw the rank rewards and saw that you couldn't get a complete bot/alt/weapon combo unless you hit 5,000, I was out. I had things to do and constant play had only gotten me and my mid-powered deck into the low 6k ranks. There was no way I was going to go even harder this time. So I stayed out. Just joined the event for the initial freebies and only played a few missions, failing to see the point of that, and then stopped. Logged in tonight just because I didn't have anything else going on and figured I'd see what was happening. When I noticed the rank rewards had changed, I figured they had made a mistake, but now I read that that is something to do with the cartoon storyline.

Anyway I guess the lesson learned is you can never know when it's "safe" to skip an event. There could be goodies hiding around the corner! So the faithful who played this ep from the start got the reward of lots of the rest of us laying out of it. So anyway good for you guys.

I think I'll just casually snipe now and then for the rest of the time. I was thinking I'd just milk the ep for the initial freebies and bank them for later, but I now realize just how necessary all those gold and silver medals are that seem like so much junk when you're slogging through a forest of bosses in an ep. It sucks to have to process them over and over and over to level up your doodz, but without them and without the precious transmetals from earning ep points, it's back to a scanning grind that I don't have the strength for anymore. So doing the eps is really the only way.

Long story short, the deciding reason I didn't do the ep, in addition to some pre-existing ones, was the one that turned out to not be a reason after all. Yet I'm still glad of the break.
