I've kept meticulous records of Global Events for well over a year and 1,100 Players at the start of ANY Global Event is anemic; in fact it's the lowest player turnout I've witnessed.
Finding myself @ RANK #341 with only 7 PvP Victories nearly 3 hours after the start confirms this.
I would estimate that iOS had about 1/2 that number at the start of the Global and Amazon must have resembled a "ghost town"; there are probably more "bots" or clans than there are active players ...
... sad, truly sad.
A disturbing turn of events, to say the least.
Yeah ... that's the nature of these VIP Events nowadays. Aside from the TOP Weapon @7,000 GOLD (possibly the weapon @ 5,750/3,500), most of what appears in the list is rubbish and it rarely changes.
For you my friend, and don't take this the wrong way, why would you want to spend money (GOLD) on more powerful weapons when you're already having problems upgrading the weapons you have?
I thought you would have learned something from your TESLA experience.
Concentrate on increasing your vault's capacity. :cool:
That's great progress but still you're @ TIER 22 ... so unless you reach TIER 28/29 in the next week or so, you really do not need any stronger weapons because you'll never draw opponents strong enough to warrant the firepower ... it's a waste.
Now if you're drawing opponents color coded "RED" and you have no choice because you cannot find a suitable opponent, that is always a sign of "imbalance" in your game setup; the trap is in thinking you need stronger weapons ... proceed with caution.
You know better how fast you're progressing though, just be careful NOT to perpetuate an already difficult situation.
Keep up the good work !!!
RANK #2: 10,010 AP (RAJA0599)
RANK #3: 9,735 AP (MAJORKHAN)
RANK #4: 6,535 AP (HELPHOS)
RANK #5: 6,510 AP (ANGELOFDEATH)
RANK #10: 4,360 AP (BSONI)
RANK #30: 2,085 AP (CHUCKUFARLIE)
RANK #75: 1,035 AP (SCORPION) ... Extended Target Practice is in effect :cool:
As expected (consistent with this morning's Global Event launch), I find myself in the TOP 90 with less than 1/2 the scoring total of last week's Global Event (at this juncture).
On the other hand, the leaderboard's TOP 10 scoring is pretty much as it usually is with RANK #30's scoring slightly down; clearly many of the "average" players are "throwing in the towel" and those that remain are scoring less. I can't blame them for that, but it does raise a "specter" regarding this game's future participation; GLU has tried several gamesmanship tactics, but never the obvious.
No specific Global Event Goals, other than continue Drone Development and apply possibly two (2x) "ALPHA-ECHO" upgrades to maximize my vault's capacity.
Defense Base "ALPHA-ECHO" @ 12.5%.
Global Event DAY #1 is a wrap.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Yep. I just checked and it changed to the 31.5 CAIN MKII SNIPER @ 7,000 GOLD and the 31.5 CHERUB MKII TESLA @ 5,750 GOLD. I DID think that ODIN MK HEAVY was kind of strange ... then again it could be those hallucinogenic medications. LOL
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the first time I've seen a pair of 31.5s at the top; usually it's a 31.0 in the 5,750 slot isn't it? I also noticed there are 2 x drone traps up there as well.
Maybe GLU has finally come around after months of complaining. :cool:
Seriously, this is what was listed this morning and I never bothered to re-check until you mentioned it.
@7,000 GOLD: 31.0 ODIN MKII HEAVY - 161.06B-289.37B.
@5,750 GOLD: 31.5 CHERUB MKII TESLA - 201.33B-330.18B.
At first this AM, I thought the order was just swapped, then I realized the CHERUB was featured last week ... I think it's the GLUTONS that are on hallucinogenics LMAO
Thanks Brother !!!

In a word, "Anemic" ... scoring at 1/2 the rate of last week, I still find myself amongst the TOP 90. That said, the TOP Spot is developing into "match race" between two perennial leaderboard players. Be careful gents, The TERMINAT3R is lurking just out of view and is ALWAYS a threat.
Defense Base "ALPHA-ECHO" @ 18.75%.
Global Event DAY #2 is a wrap.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!

After a relatively slow start, the pace started to pick up but floundered. The leaderboard scoring is 5x5.
Defense Base "ALPHA-ECHO" @ 50%.
This Global Event is a wrap (for the most part); I'll continue to play it through during football.
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
Good Morning Agents,
There appears to be the 30.5 LANDSLIDE MKII TESLA - 120.8B-185.22B - available as the 1st Prize in today's SILVER LEAGUE Event. This is a clone of the 30.5 MUDFLOW MKII TESLA; a fine weapon.
There are additional sale items (Short Range Weapons) in The Store today:
29.5 MALACHITE MKII ASSAULT - 40.27B-61.74B - 240 GOLD**
29.5 THOTH MKII HEAVY - 60.4B-92.48B - 720 GOLD**
... coupled with the wide variety of 29.5s offered over the weekend:
29.5 BARDICHE MKII SNIPER - 40.27B-61.74B - 240 GOLD**
29.5 SETH MKII HEAVY - 60.4B-92.48B - 720 GOLD**
29.5 ORCA MKII ELITE TESLA - 60.4B-92,61B - 720 GOLD**
... this constitutes an battle and cost effective (1,920 GOLD) means for those @ TIER 29 and below seeking to replace an aging set of weapons for a minimal price.
REGARDING CKS GAMEPLAY: I have observed a few interesting developments over the latest few tiers regarding gameplay and gamesmanship. GLU is "backing off" the battle cycle release schedule and has also improved the VIP offerings (not perfect but better) ...
... GLU has also been periodically subsidizing events with FREE GOLD (2x, 3x).
Event participation is down for non-leaderboard players; scoring is down as well.
Leaderboard participation remains unchanged thus far.
I'm doing everything (anything) I can to promote more participation by sharing my experiences and helping to mitigate potential pitfalls for the newer players; I certainly hope that it helps. :cool:
Good Luck and Good Hunting !!!
... and he's definitely NOT a cutie pie ... :cool:
I do find it curious that "she's" far back in the pack in the SILVER LEAGUE Event DAY #1, but has also accumulated the exact number of GOLD BARS as I ...
... The SCORPION "Clone de la femme" perhaps?
*** SMILES ***
Ouch !!!
SILVER LEAGUE EVENT DAY #1 is a wrap.
KUDOS
Clearly there are too many SCORPIONS walking the planet GLU. :cool:
This isn't the 1st time this has happened; restart the game and everything is "normal" again.
