Event review: THE LAST TRICK

We just came out of what was an, in my opinion, exciting and motivating event called "The Last Trick", which came as a type of event a lot of people were looking for. Not only was it an alliance totalizer with 60 prestige but it also offered a so called "Trickster Crystal" at the end of every prestige with a chance on either 2-, 3- or 4-star shards or a new bot in 2-, 3- or 4-star Cosmos. Additional to that, the event offered a total of the following rewards:


60 x 300 = 18,000 Spark
60 x 25,000 = 1,500,000 Energon
60 x 25,000 = 1,500,000 Alloy


In preparation for this event no major player movements were made, so all three alliances started with the personnel they had. The goal was as usual to finish Warpath early in the event and than spread out to Beings and Knights for a maximum possible reward for everyone. Every group set very clear minimums this time:
  • Warpath: 9k total minimum, 3k as daily target
  • Beings: 6k total minimum, 2k as daily target
  • Knights: 3k total minimum, 1k as daily target
Warpath had only 5 people below the expected score (adjusted to the fact we finished early), Beings saw a little more with 13 players missing out on the target, and Knights had 8 folks below par. The upside of this was that we had some early and clear statements from people who had to deal with real life or technical issues, which I truly appreciate. As long as we know about someone's whereabouts, we won't lash out on or even kick them.


The overall dedication to this event let to Warpath finishing after approx. 50 hours. We have to admit here that we received huge help by lesviva and mudthump, two Warpath alumni now killing it TF Psy-Ops, who brought as an extra score of 50,972 points. Without them, we would have needed maybe 8 to 10 more hours to finish, still leaving us with at least 12 hours to help out the family. In reality, we now had 22 hours left to spread out in rotation which was great.


Beings already had about 184,000 points by themselves when rotation kicked in, Knights had about 124,000 points. So Beings were heading for 264,000, Knights for 178,000 if both kept their pace. Both numbers are great, and with some help from Warpath members we finally finished with the following results.




I took a look at everyone's combined score from all three groups and, for the first time, I'll present to you the first Sentinel family event ranking.




Congratulations to everyone who extended their personal best and thanks to all who pulled their weight this weekend.


Kind regards
