Oh Where, Oh Where Did The SILVER LEAGUE Go? ... Oh Where, Oh Where Can It Be?
Well I guess I can finally download VIGORE V and RAZORBLADE V since another "VIGORE" may soon arrive.
Maybe we'll get MECHANICS II just to add in a little "variety" to the mix.

And this was the 3rd week in a row with no Global for MIRN. Our Agency still has a glimmer of hope that GLU will wake up.
Not very important though since we may get TIER 29 tomorrow with the Battle Cycle starting on Thursday.
Now I did note that my CLAN WARS log's last entry was around Midnight; I've got another scheduled @ 02:00 PM EST, so that will confirm if CW is actually running.
I find it interesting that the VIP Event started on time this morning.
Sad part is this is nothing new for ... The GLU Factory.

UPDATE: 02:00 PM CW Battle went off as scheduled, so that's working at least.
Between GLU increasing the difficulty of matches, so that you almost have to use equipment (it's only almost if you play perfectly; otherwise, it's spend or lose the match), and greatly reducing the availability of equipment without spending Real World money by cutting clan token awards and changing the game to prevent fighting in extra wars, the last week has been more frustrating than enjoyable.
Add in the accelerated base tier releases, and I'm almost done with this game -- the only reason I'm playing now is because I don't want to throw away all the time I've already invested, but that's a poor reason to continue doing something that's not much fun anymore.
I just got in, so I figured I would check on the status of League PvP and GLU had the audacity to ask me to take a survey because they want to "know what I think ..." ... No they don't !!!
LMAO
As for the survey that is replacing the Silver League of cause word from The Boss is that they want to revamp the whole method of playing CKS . Perhaps completely knock down and remove the League entirely. As for replacement well maybe some cooking kicthen plays from the Kardashians will emmerse in CKS.
I'm not doubting you, it just would be nice to see their wording exactly on this news flash.
They've already replaced the basic 1 month cycle with the frantic 2 week dash, with alternating doing only long missions, then next cycle only short. Not to mentioned the devalued VIP events, and reduced war token payouts.
What else can they screw up? Answer, we don't really want to know!
Although I cannot say for sure what was included in that survey (at this point, I'm really not interested), I have no reason to doubt what ZEUS is saying since it makes perfect sense ...
... (even coming from the GLUTONS).
In the absence (anticipation) of a complete "re-vamp" of the prize award structure, eliminating League Play is logical to some degree.
The problem question is really, "Is it too little, too late?" ... 48 Hours until "Drop Dead" arrives.
Needless to say, we will NOT be getting a "TIER 29" (or any other tier, for that matter) ...
... even if we do, it will be DOA unless you (and GLU) are completely "out of touch". :cool:
On a positive note, LITTLE ME is now killing anything that even blinks (except the JUGG) ... it certainly takes the edge off somewhat and definitely makes closing contracts a breeze.
1) Big spenders who have advanced far enough beyond others that only another big spender can defeat them, and
2) Fodder for them as an alternative to killing bots.
I don't see myself joining the first group, or satisfied at being consigned to the second.
Randy, I didn't lose any gold from the upgrade, but I've seen a lot of complaints on Amazon's global chat from players who say they have. I've also seen complaints from people who say that they bought gold since the upgrade, which then disappeared on them; Amazon customer service is referring them to GLU, and GLU isn't responding.
No Amazon silver league for a second day in a row -- GLU should really award a Mantra MkII heavy to everyone who finished in the top 500 -- it's not very likely that the 250+ finishers would have gotten enough parts to complete the gun, but GLU has denied them the opportunity to try. I finished between top 30 and 90, I think it was in the upper 70s -- there's no doubt in my mind that I'd have crafted the gun, or that GLU is going to screw me out of it.
Apple got a new content update that increased max health; other groups should see it soon.
You stop throwing away 15,000,000,000-30,000,000,000 Diamonds out of your bi-weekly effort and everything else falls into place.
Your vault payouts continue to increase, your opponent's strength remains unchanged ...
... you don't even need a better weapon unless you want one ... sounds like "fun" to me
The moment you increase your stats, EVERYTHING ends up in the toilet for another 2-weeks.
Climb The Tower, play CLAN WARS, do anything but DO NOT keep beating yourself over the head trying to keep up with these useless base upgrades.
Now if you have nothing else to spend your diamonds on, that's another story entirely. :cool:
It's almost as if players are terrified that if they stop upgrading the base that their devices will somehow "self destruct" with "sparks and smoke" spewing out ...
LMAO
Believe me everything will be fine; I've done this in the past ... more than once, twice actually ...
... last Summer when it didn't really make much of a difference; the other from May-thru-July 2016, then everything went completely "bonkers" ...
... Nothing happened at all with the exception that I was able to totally enjoy this game again.
My ONLY regret was resuming base upgrades 1.5 months ago ... that will NOT happen again.
As far as the "lost" weapon is concerned, forget about it ... it was useless anyway and GLU saved you a few billion diamonds in upgrades to an obsolete weapon. I forgot about it long before I had collected the 35 Parts.
My experience is that you will get back your GOLD provided you submit "proof of purchase". For me on Google Play, it's a transaction id from Google Wallet; a screen shot will suffice.
Simply asking them for GOLD will not work, even though they should be able to verify the purchase. The PLAYER needs to prove that the purchase was actually made and then the wait begins.
In your particular case you have a problem because you made that purchase so long ago. If you have screen shots (which I doubt) before and after the resync, you may have a chance.
Without those, it's going to be a hard sell.
Good Luck !!!
DAY #3 is running on Google Play and you must ask yourself, was all of this by GLU design and why? Frantic players trying to compete for an already obsolete weapon and spending GOLD that they would never do otherwise? Doubtful ... the GLU servers mysteriously coming back online as mysteriously as they disappeared? Maybe ...
I tend to think the GLUTONs are a sadistic bunch, "bent" on inducing misery and frustration. :cool:
Just Keep On Truckin' ...
Thanks Passengersnail...all good on my end....however MIRN is a whole different story! Any word on that?
So, there's no chance to complete last week's Mantra MkII heavy gun, which is going to make me far less effective against level 280 defenders in this weeks play. Thanks for nothing GLU.
I've got news for you, ALL 28.5 SR weapons are useless vs. TIER 29 opponents. In fact 29.5 weapons are just as useless and you'll have a hard time using 30.5 weapons because opponent strength will be beyond the TIER 30 weapons as well.
The numbers NEVER lie Agents.
We'll need 30.5 Weapons via VIP just to be @ parity. The Globals are a complete bust.
There is a much larger problem looming and it has nothing to do with missed league events.
You're being bent over without the benefit of a reach around, I'm sorry to say.
The best thing you can do at this point is freeze in your tracks for every TIER STATS you increase, your weapons will become less-and-less effective and your ability to win PvP will suffer. What's worse you can no longer "WIN" any weapon that will do any good ...
... your only option is to "BUY" your weapons and they will be good for 2-weeks; if you're not willing to do that, well you had better have plenty of grenades in your inventory ...
... and it's only going to get worse as battle equipment effectiveness diminishes with each succeeding TIER.
It's a complex, carefully designed set of algorithms designed to do one thing ...
... separate you from your money !!!
I received this from GLU recently; Amazon players aside, I would estimate that 500-1000 GOLD was expended collecting 35 Parts during last weekend's Global Event.
I have no idea how much? OR when? we'll actually receive this "compensation" but I suspect it will appear in your accounts by the next Global Event (ROUND #2 of the TIER 29 Battle Cycle) ...
... if there's anyone left that is.

Is it normal?
... so yes, this IS normal.
