Bot Shots

[Barrel05]

Anyone else playin Bot Shots? Got a Sunstorm recently and have started playin the game

[Bidoofdude]

Not really myself. They're more of a collecting thing to me, but the game looks quite fun. You should be able to find some people that play here.:cool::)

[Barrel05]

Yeah always looked at em but wasn't really interested, that was until i spotted Sunstorm. The game is pretty addictive

I'm just looking for Thundercracker. :(
He's really the only one I REALLY need right now.:o

Someone posted some time ago that they were playing BotShots, or were asking for codes for the points.

I signed up some time ago (Omega Titan 2014), but found that it was impossible to earn enough points to buy BotShots - you have to use the codes with the toys... and most of the first series toys I bought didn't have any.
Also, some of the achievements/trophies are very difficult (or impossible) to get. Not to mention two of the three training sessions... the shooting game keeps freezing up with my computer (being a flash game), and the punching game requires a bit of cheating to get through all ten waves (you'd have to be autistic to memorise a sequence of 11 different body parts being illuminated).

When they recently updated the game to include the Beast Hunters characters, they changed the way the actual game is played as well... from selecting two icons within a box to select your attack, to moving your character back and forth to select it.
And now they are adding in the second series of BotShots characters to the roster, making it even harder to catch up buying them all.
(I have no idea why they need such high point values to the BotShots and to the codes they pack in with the toys. Considering you only earn under 100 points per game, you'd need to win (not play) a thousand games for each Botshot character you want to buy. If you have a 50-50 win ratio, you'd need to play about 2,000 games, each one taking about 5 minutes to set up and play. If you don't buy the toys, there's no way anyone is ever going to earn enough points to purchase Botshots).

And, I think there is a glitch with the adventure game (not the battle games), in that the game wouldn't play if I was taking on a level that was too much higher than my own ranking. But exiting the game (because it wouldn't work) would count as a "loss" in my win-loss tally. Which wasn't fair.

Not sure how the Squads concept is supposed to work though, as I still haven't been able to work it out.

[Barrel05]

You have to invite someone to your squad. When you do it gives you a code to send them, you have to know someone who is playing to send though

Do you have any spare codes?

[Bidoofdude]

No. Sorry. My brother has Jazz, but that's it. Used.
Sorry.:(

Got some more BotShots today (3 x 5-packs, a 3-pack, and the Dragon Track set), and each one was noted as having included 398-500k of BotShot points.... but each one only had a single code sheet, which only gives you 100k points. Not happy.
So instead of expecting 2,298,000 points, I only ended up with 500,000. Either the factory is supposed to be inserting multiple code cards, or, the ones in these packs were supposed to have the higher values stated on the front of the packaging.
(and it's not something I can easily report to Hasbro, as Head Office in America would need to know about this error, but if you contact the American site with a message, it automatically gets bounced to your local office based on your location... which is obviously pointless if the local office has nothing to do with production)
I was looking forward to catching up with all the new BotShots they've been adding to the game with these points, but I'm getting further behind (as points you earn in the games are negligible - you need to WIN over 1,200 games to have enough points to buy a single BotShot).

Speaking of games and points - either it's new or I never noticed it before, but they have a leaderboard tab, showing who are the top winners overall, the top winners for the week, and the highest number of codes people have entered in. Since I've been collecting all the BotShots, if all of the toys had codes (most of the first series single-packs in this country didn't have them) and if the multipacks in the second series had multiple codes as they should, I'd be top of that leaderboard, as the top 20 people on there have between 37 to 54 codes redeemed. (I only have about 30 so far)

The one notable thing is the person on the other two leaderboards (most wins ever, and most wins in the last week). This person has over 12,000 WINS... which means many many many hours playing a very repetitive single-screen game. Game cycles take about 2 minutes (to load up, play, and reset), which means about 400 hours, or almost 17 days of non-stop play. Anyone who has played this game, would also understand how extraordinary it would be to be able to spend that much time on it, with 565 of those wins in the last week (which is 5 times the number of games the next 10 people on that leaderboard have). That's 19 hours of this game in just one week.
And what is even more extraordinary, is that those 565 games in the last week were played with zero losses. In 19 hours of playing this game in the last 7 days, not a single loss... which statistically shouldn't be possible. Regardless of how many extra stat points he's earnt in the training games (which he has about 400 points to each stat) to better defeat matching attacks, the game still comes down to 'rock-paper-scissors' attacks. And eventually, a game of only 5 or 6 attacks, the computer/opponent will randomly choose the more superior attack for all 5 or 6 attacks.
There must be a cheat or sneaky process/add-ons combination... not that it matters much when it comes to earning points. That 400 hours this guy invested, would have only earned him about 10 Bots.


The new game format is both good and bad.
Bad, because it took four games to figure out that you use the arrow keys and spacebar to play now (instead of the mouse like before), and there are no instructions to tell you how to play.
Good, because when you do get the hang of it, you can launch attacks quicker than your opponent or computer... but if the coloured squares don't light up, you end up getting beaten up as you try to jump on a coloured square before it disappears.

It's an interesting free *Transformers* game, that has some fun elements, but the points and achievements bits drag it way down, to be too frustrating to play too much.

Thanx only 100 000 points each though

[iamirondude]

bugger, i thought they would be more as i got them out of the 5 packs.i got rid of the packaging ages ago so i wasn't to sure how much they were.

[griffin]

That's what I've been trying to tell Hasbro (here and in America) but they won't believe me - their multipacks in series two are not having the points that the packaging claims to have inside. Each one is only worth a normal 100k, instead of 398k or 500k.

Stupid/lazy people at Hasbro...

[iamirondude]

i think it comes down to them just not caring about the market here and knowing that they can treat people with contempt cause they know there will always be someone else/market to buy/sell their products.
