New characters ahoy, oh and a whole lot of old ones too!!!
So let’s dock the ship and navigate our way to shore in the new Island Of Lost Bots event.
Yes addicts let’s go see what the Futurama is going on in this event. And I’ll say from the start it’s very, very similar to the Alpha event only with some new characters in with the old. The Alpha event was not a happy one, let’s see what happens with this one.

Pizza Poppers: Travel to the Moon and complete event Space Missions 1-1 to 1-10, PvP Universe Tier Rewards
PvP UNIVERSE BATTLES
After being used in the Christmas event PvP is back and the current round will end on Wednesday 31st January at 3pm PST (11pm GMT).
The dynamics of PvP are the exact same as before, only the rewards have changed. You’ll still start with 5 Battle Energy and as you use them each Battle Energy takes 2hrs to recharge. And you’ll still have Search option to choose new opponents but playing through it things look well-balanced with opponents.
If your new to PvP your basic aim is to win the battle and gain battle points and other rewards. The amount of battle points awarded depends on level of opponent you choose, but I find taking a similarly levelled opponent and defeating them gets me 22 battle points, this appears to be the maximum. Defeating lesser opponents will see you get less.
It is accumulated battle points that determine your rank and what rewards you get for winning combats depends on your current PvP Universe rank, so you want to keep increasing it when you can.
Current battle rewards are:
3 Sigma Coins
50 Nixonbucks
40 xp
Variable amounts of Battle Points
Current Tier rewards (awarding at the end of the current round):
NEW SPACE MISSIONS
And we’re on our travels again, as the event brings us 10 new Space Missions to complete and they are all located on the Earth. The first will unlock when you trigger the main Questline, then each subsequent mission will unlock as you complete a path on the previous one. They as usual start off pretty easy to complete as the enemies, a mix of old enemies, are weak at first, but the difficulty starts to increase as the mission goes on, and by Mission 1-6 you’ll find yourself needing a L35 crew, by Mission 1-9 a L65 crew, so you get the idea of the difficulty ad you go on.
You’ll collect Cargo Drop Boxes that will include event currencies, materials and the usual chips and such. The amount you get depends on the mission you are on.
You’ll find a guide to what can be found on each mission by clicking here later.
There you have the overall Basics that I can give you for the Island Of The Bots event.
What do you think of it so far? Any tips for fellow Players? Any items you’re frightfully excited about? Any items you immediately purchased? Let us know in the comments.

On Snail fail pt 6 – anyone else having issues with the coconut trees? Bought the 3 trees, task does not complete. Bought 3 more to make sure, still won’t complete. Curious if it’s just me having the problem.

Are you buying 3 new trees or did you store th original 3 you bought, if you did sometimes when you go to the store rather than buying new ones it places the ones you have in storage.

I really hate the repeatable prizes. So so annoying in that last event and now this one.

While I actually really appreciate event mechanics changing in major ways (finally dropped TSTO after many years because of the repetitive event template), the way it is set up now means getting event characters is very much depending on luck. You need luck to get the coins for the boxes (similar to RNG drops from buildings/characters), but now you need addidional luck to actually receive the event character itself.
TinyCo is stating the % chances in the FAQ and at least for two characters chances are pretty good. Let’s just see how the event goes. I am farming the easy path of 7-1 for beta coin drops.

The instability is back. Stuck along the quest line as ever time I try to place an item, it crashes. Tried 20 times in a row

Futurama is dead. First the badges and now the events. 10% chance to get a new charakter, I’m not mad to play with such little chances.
