Does anyone have any idea of how many teams in general reform? It seems like it is a reasonably common event. My team has never reformed. This is now our 7th race. We will be lucky to finish in the top 10. The other team teams in our current race have the following number of laps: 13, 8, 6, 6, 4, and 4. We currently have 3. We have yet to hit all of those numerous Epic breeding events, I doubt we will catch any of these teams as they seem more willing to spend or they are very WELL coordinated.

Other comments and questions, anyone know of any suggested strategies for how to get through a team race most efficiently?

Final note to SP. I would suggest making ALL of the Epic breeding events one where any member can contribute as much or as little as they can. I would also remove the option to buy out of the task.

I post because when on the end of day one of the race and my team has put in a good effort the lead team has already 4 laps. We

I do not know the answer to your first question, but our team also has not reformed. The best strategy we use is communication, especially for those tasks that require one player to do a task. We also discuss what our goal is for the race, and from there each individual decides how much and where they will spend their gems. We do not require it, nor do we exclude those users who cannot or will not use gems to move forward. And while I agree with you that the one person breedings should be removed for anything higher than a rare I strongly disagree with you about removing buy out options. If the team is willing to do it then, the team should have the option to do it.

My though on that was just to reduce the insane number of laps to take the first position. Make it harder to get to 4 laps and\or run this like any normal race. In any normal race once I cross the finish line, I have my position carved in stone. No one can take that from me. It does not matter if some team comes from behind if they don't beat you to finish line they don't win first place. They take whatever place they are in. However, letting a losing team spend just a little more allows them to win, which forces the winning team to little more, and so on, and so on.

The current system probably will never change in that regard, because it is possibly a major revenue stream for SP.

Still glad to hear your team does not require gems to be spend AND that you have never reformed.

Not going to start another thread, so I will just grumble here. We just finished a war and as per normal, we have to kick people who just can't seem to be bother to get their required two attacks in. So we need to recruit. Before the race I would take the ream from Private to Open to help with recruiting. It kills me HOW mercenary SO many ML players are. I took the team open and in the span of maybe one hour had at least 6 players join, not say a word, and then leave. In the global chat where I often recruit, people are asking if anyone is in first place and how many laps they have done. We are in 8th with 5 laps. I blow my mind how shallow and self-centered people are. They don't want to help a team get to first place, they want a team that is in first place that they can ride in with. Its stuff like this that makes me want to just chuck this game.

Yep recruiting is a nightmare at race time,but unfortunately nothing is going to change as they will do nothing to fix it.

Its pretty sad to be honest because this game is quite fun most of the time.

At least we only have to go through this every couple months. LOL

Hello everyone.

I left my previous team the 2nd day after the race have started (I was the only active) and I've joined to other team. In that case will I receive my reward bcs I switched teams?

Switching teams to with the race with and easy match is breaking the idea of the race. If u don't do it then u have to spend like crazy or not race. A larger race pool with more than 1 top prize would help this as finishing second is nothing at the minute.

@ibobs72 They have expanded the winnings. There are more legendary options to win and you have to drop much lower to only get an epic, plus I think the food rewards are more graduated.

@Kaiju yes but a non ranked legend is worth nothing to most players.

@ibobs72 But if you already have him it helps rank the legend so guess you can look at the positive or negative aspect.

@Kaiju, other than the usual in & out players, we have not reformed at all! We placed 2nd in the Monsterland Race; 8th in The Big Heist Race (we quit trying after all the required Epic breeds); 4th in the Jungle Empire Race! It's ridiculous the way they match up the Teams in the Groups! Over half the Teams were in the Top 2500 Teams! We were ranked 4600 at the time! It was nearly impossible to get 15 teammates that were able to collect 60k Food or 150k Gold! Our Team is from Level 25 to 67 with 2 of us at Levels 90 & 107! It is geared towards Teams with Levels 60+ & lots of money or gems! We have boycotted the rest of the Races!

@MamawJane I wonder though that if your team reformed it would do better. My team's progression through the races has been up and down, but mostly downward. We have managed to offset that with greater gem spending to deal with the epic breeding, but that is downright painful for a mostly F2P team.

Serious question, recent Jungle race, I really did my bit with nearly 50k points which was still more than the next 3 teammates. The most galling part was that the team lead operatives 3 accounts but that didn't really show as an advantage during race. Anyway, get my 15 montezuma cells after we finish 6th, and after a day, the teammate who came third gave me her 3 cells. The second placed finisher, the team lead seems to need want to let go of his Montezuma cells, I had always assumed that it was polite to donate them to the winning racer. I think that his nose was put out because he couldnt keep up in the race but the worse part is that I asked the rest of team what they thought of the above and the silence was deafening, which makes me feel that this team isn't for me.
