I'll say this much ...
... good or bad, high or low ... you can just about set your watch based on players' scoring.
I'm also expecting the infamous "donut hole" to return ...
... players should have regained their battle footing by now and shaken off that MCU "shock and awe".

Had 1 content update today, but nothing that I could see, still at 5.1.1, and Golf is the top tier.
Weapons strength is all an illusion anyway ... for EVERYTHING is relative.
This type of easy becomes boring very fast (even by Amazon standards) and enjoyment starts to fade ...
... so how long can whoever that is left playing on Amazon these days, persist under those conditions?
I mean the whole point of PvP is to win diamonds for upgrades.
Of course, one could use it for perpetual "target practice" I suppose ...
... but fighting a never-ending stream of identical opponents ... well it's a hard pill to swallow for sure.
Then there's the question as to what happens if you eventually DO get CKS 6.0 and TIER releases resume? Not fun to contemplate ... each passing day makes that less likely.
There is one positive occurrence and that is the fact that you're competing for 33.5 weapons ...
... there is still a glimmer of hope and I'm hoping that the best possible outcome is realized.
*** SMILES ***
RANK #2: 16,246 AP (TERMINAT3R) ... Always a threat.
RANK #3: 14,365 AP (HELPHOS) ... Steady performer is still right there.
RANK #4: 13,960 AP (BSONI) ... On the move.
RANK #5: 12,335 AP (H401) ... Losing ground.
RANK #10: 8,460 AP (KATAPPAAA)
RANK #30: 4,671 AP (DADA)
RANK #62: 2,560 AP (SCORPION) ... Cruising along for diamonds. :cool: 106 Victories, No Defeats.
Scoring has picked up as Global Event DAY #1 comes to a close ...
... I am projecting that RANK #30 will score 18,000+ AP; the "donut hole" will be substantial.
It is my opinion that there are many, myself included, who will never be classified as "high rollers" but are willing to compete to their fullest capabilities if there were some reward for their efforts ...
... Maintaining this "donut hole" serves no real purpose other than to discourage scoring above 8,499 AP.
Prizes GLU ... Prizes ... Get it?

BSONI has become BSONIFRUSTRATED and while your "frustration" is something with which I can empathize ... you have the dubious distinction of registering on The SCORPION's radar screen.

Glu screwed up my game. I can't be ok until glu fix my game issues. I raised ticket in customer care but as usual no reply. They don't care about top 5 players of all time leaderboard even. I am seriously thinking to quit game if they can't fix it in few days. Its not only me, I saw lots of comments in global and playstore, many many players lost their game progress completely and lost game resources and I'm one of them who lost game resources. Thank god, I have my game progress with me.
Hope you understand my frustration now. After playing since 2 years and spending lots of money and time in game, if they don't listen us and don't care to reply us then what's meaning of making this game successful. They don't think even that because of long time top players like us, this game is more successful.
Btw, this global event goes very crazy and I can't compete this much but will try to show more frustration as soon as I get some time for game.
Sorry to hear that ... I understand about losing progress, but when you refer to "Game Resources" what exactly are you referring to? I'll submit a ticket for you but I need more details ...
... it can't hurt to try, I seem to be fairly good at getting their attention for whatever that's worth ...
Hang in there.
I lost all golds, don't know why? When I opened my game on Tuesday it was 0. I purchased last 3500 gold packs 2-3 times before they changed subscriptions. Then I purchased platinum subscription to double up my energy and instant upgrade with free tower access so I got all my pending traps also from tower now. Then I watched lots of video and I got 4 golds from each video because of my subscription and their offer of getting double golds from video before few days. Then I used lots of clan tokens in store spin box which was available before this new release and I got lots of golds from that box also.
Suddenly after new release, they removed those clan coin and diamonds spin in store which is ok but they took back my all gods also earned from store and video and even my pending balance of purchased golds also. It becomes 0 on Tuesday. Really irritating and frustrating. This time of glitch happened to me first time in game otherwise I was big fan of this game since 2 years. Still I was hoping for co-operation and reply of glu after ticket but I didn't get anything so I got more frustrated and changed my game name in global. Rest you know bro.
I don't know how can you help me in this matter. But feeling good to talk with you on my issue. I am waiting to hear back from glu and need all my golds back which I got due to spending lots of money and time in video/store. I still don't believe what glu is doing with all players. There are many other big players with same situations like me and they are still fighting with Glu in customer care and emails. :mad:
Well "fighting with GLU" will never work (you know that from experience) ... do you have any screen shots at all that would indicate how much GOLD you actually had at any given point in time?
For example, I'm always taking screen shots for a variety of reasons ...
From this single image I can demonstrate to GLU that I had 1,508 GOLD as of yesterday AM ...
... the GOLD is obvious, Friday can be inferred by the payouts and the game clock.
That's the ticket ... unless you can "prove" what you had, it's an uphill climb I'm sorry to say.
What's your new gamer-tag?
You make it easy for them Buddy ... a picture speaks a thousand words, or so someone once told me.
If experience has taught me anything at all, it's the above.
For the GOLD that you purchased all you need to do is show them the "GLU PURCHASE ID" that went against your credit card ... that part is easy and the FREE GOLD you may need to swallow.
What's your new gamer-tag? ... I'll submit anyway, if you wish.
Let me find any old snap before this week If I can find. I might clicked but not sure when and whether it will really have my gold figure which I supposed to have. If they really need my snap to solve my issue, then they could reply me for that in my ticket. Thanks anyway for your feedback and I'll submit some more proofs from my end to Glu like my purchase history, some old snaps (if found), etc. Then let's see will they really interested to give customer service and support to players or Just wanted to take back golds and expecting more investment from us for golds. Crazy no.!!! :eek:
If all else fails, you can always dispute the charge ... given GLU's reputation, there isn't a bank on Earth that will NOT refund your purchase.
Good Luck !!!
Yes that make sense at last step. At least I hear something from Glu first.
RANK #2: 32,910 AP (SMOKINACE) ... Zzzz.

RANK #46: 6,010 AP (SCORPION) ... Cruising along for diamonds. :cool: 244 Victories, No Defeats.
Now this is hilarious ... they're all asleep for the last 9-10 Hours ...
... I suppose it takes plenty of energy to run up one's score for no apparent reason.

The hell you say? LOL Not to worry, there's no way to "equip" these weapons since there aren't any parts available ... yet.
I see the following in the parts repository ...
35.5 RAKSHASA MKII ASSAULT (boy would I absolutely LOVE to get my hands on that baby).
35.0 WEREWOLF MKII ASSAULT.
35.0 SPEAR MKII SNIPER
35.5 TAURUS MKII HEAVY
It is quite common for GLU to populate the parts repository with these weapons BEFORE they can actually be used ... they WILL become available in the near future.
Not to worry, the hackers cannot use these. :cool:
TIP: you can't possibly enjoy this game if you're always looking over your shoulder wondering what the hackers are doing OR not doing ... just a friendly word of advice, is all ... concentrate on YOUR game.
Right ...
... don't be so paranoid.
That said, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you !!!
**SMILES**
Another FYI is that weapons are available to players at various levels depending on how far they've progressed in the overall game ...
... so it's normal for some players to have weapons you might not be able to see.
Again, if you can't "see it" then you don't need it and it would probably cause more damage to your game than benefit.
Then again ... I might be the hacker ring-leader. How would you know? :cool: ...
... just kidding, believe me ... I'm waging my own private war against these folk.
RANK #2: 39,546 AP (TERMINAT3R) ... Zzzz.
RANK #3: 36,396 AP (DRONAA) ... Right there.
RANK #4: 34,237 AP (GIULISTALLION) ... Moving up.
RANK #5: 33,160 AP (KRASNODAR93RU) ... Hello there.
RANK #10: 27,385 AP (BSONIFRUSTRATED)
RANK #30: 12,321 AP (134376)
RANK #43: 8,260 AP (SCORPION) ... Cruising along for diamonds. :cool: 334 Victories, No Defeats.
That just about does it for The SCORPION; back to football and the Seattle Seahawks.

Good Night Agents ... I'll see you on the other side. :cool:
Good Morning ...
SCORPION FINAL RANK #040 (8,499 AP) ...
... the "donut hole" wasn't as wide as I originally expected it would be.
Oh well ... nobody had the stomach for fighting.
The results stand and I'm going back to sleep. :cool:
BSONI (BSONIFRUSTRATED), GENERALSTURN and the rest of the "SHARPSHOOTERS" have also been banned.
I can't remember when GLU effectively "banned" entire CLANS like this ...
... guilty by association perhaps? Could they all be using hacks?
