Thanks Spiral! Oh so they actually split the cockpit canopy to make the mouth. That is odd hah, The little glass?slit or whatever you call it now looks like the teeth. That does not sound like a wise idea.

I don't suppose anyone is itching to reinstall this game or test on another device? I don't recall there being tutorial screens before that had what looked like random story/concept art stuff. Its just the images from the books with some text below but I'd love if anyone could screencap this? I don't have a second device.
Also, could someone explain the battlenium/battle stuff on the bottom left (target sight icon)? So much has updated since I last played.

These images they show are rather recent I think and are pure fillers along the line of PRO-TIP (yes, that bad ). What goes for this battle stuff I've outlined it a couple of posts ago. Basically you have to put zoids on guard on islands so others don't attack them. It's though totally useless unless you have like 3 fully maxed out 5-star zoids you only get by roulette or paying. You can then pick random battles (with searching) to go after an island of somebody else. It's though only a boring pre-launch screen you only press search until you find somebody who has higher raking (otherwise little to no points). I would have expected at least a kind of map where you can choose what island to attack. Winning a battle like this (as attacker only) gives you this battelenium thingies (I think 1 to 3 or so depending on rank difference). When others claim your island it's like a CPU boss randomly occupied your island. You've got to fend it off like a boss battle which especially for newer people is impossible if like lv100+ sitting on your island. While blocked you get no energy which in turn prevents you from clearing the island. Furthermore if all islands are blocked you can't attack others. Somebody really didn't think this one through to the end. This PvP system is crap.

Is that what you meant Han? I can't remember if there were more, it was fluke I took that shot if it is what you meant. Coincidentally I re-downloaded the thing today and to my delight it worked. Playing on the computer though it often gets stuck on various loading screens at random and I have to reset the app does anyone else have this issue?

I recall something like that but don't remember how to fix the freezing, unfortunately. The loading screens are so ... sloooowww. But that is what I mean, yes!
After some tinkering (and an hour and a half download whatthehell) I got this working on my kindle (the only 'mobile' device I have haha) so I started over again. Had decent luck this time, but its about the same slow speed of play. Probably because my kindle has such crappy specs. Managed to grab the screenshots I needed, though!
Roulette luck was also better. Got toonnnsss of normal Sabers (not sure if luck has changed but I always had /terrible/ luck getting them from the islands on my last game), White Tigers, and got one of both of the limited Zoids (Red Horn and Black Saber.) I think I'll probably just stick to playing it on mobile devices because bluestacks is murder on my computer. Nothing more painful than only realizing I forgot to close the .exe by it randomly crashing Photoshop in the middle of a commission.
Shame to hear the island is so bad, but I know not to waste my time now. Guess I'll take a stab at the Molga event instead. At least I will get something useful enough.
It is painful to be starting from scratch in the middle of event. No use playing the event seriously cause my islands aren't yet generating enough energy for it, but sooooooon I will be slaughtering things again.
(Also I love the new animations for using your ally attack in battle. SKY GODS PLEASE STRIKE DOWN MY ENEMIES WITH A BOLT OF LIGHTNING.)

These images they show are rather recent I think and are pure fillers along the line of PRO-TIP (yes, that bad ). Oh wow, you weren't kidding - I've found 16 of them so far, and they're all just explaining the most basic gameplay. I don't suppose anyone is itching to reinstall this game or test on another device? I don't recall there being tutorial screens before that had what looked like random story/concept art stuff. Its just the images from the books with some text below but I'd love if anyone could screencap this? Was it just the one Vig posted and a hangar-y one with yellow text, or have they added more? Those two are the only ones I've seen with Concept Art-style artwork. Playing on the computer though it often gets stuck on various loading screens at random and I have to reset the app does anyone else have this issue? It's never crashed in-game for me, although it gets stuck trying to open the game fairly often. I assume it's not just the loading screens being really slow? I'm deliberately avoiding Battle Mode until I finish Jera Island (which is REALLY HARD, even with a level 50 Shieldy) so that I can keep as much energy as possible. I'm hoping it won't be too bad once I get into it.

I assume it's not just the loading screens being really slow? Well that's kinda true, Sometimes the gameplay itself does become a little laggy, but not enough for me to not want to play it on the computer, I think it is worth putting up with for that luxury.

Yeah, it's just the two~ The others are all gameplay things but some of them still have nice pictures so I saved them.
So, does the cloud viewer actually let you play or just look at the map? The app has the promo video and in the game app I can see the map but it asks for some kind of text field entry?

I still haven't used the Cloud Viewer myself, but... I haven't tested out the Cloud Viewer yet, but in theory, you start up the viewer on one device (the "screen") and the game on another (the "controller"), then tap on the Cloud Ocean ribbon on the main game screen to get a code that you can enter into the Cloud Viewer to connect them.

How do you get the game to recognize the second device? I have two iPads with the game right next to eachother but nothing's different. Does it have to be the same user? Is the Viewer something other than just tapping on the Cloud banner?

Falcarius' post seemed to be spot on. Tested it and got brutally slaughtered at around level 40 with the gunning Black Saber. Gonna try again once I clear another island or so~ Does anyone have advice for what ores are found where now? All the maps have changed since I last played.
- Install Cloud Viewer on 2nd Device - If the video keeps looping shut off the device and turn it back on - There'll be a text banner at the bottom side scrolling, and below that a # Code - On Game!Device, click Cloud Ocean banner. Click 'New!' island. - The popup will have a button at the bottom. Click it and enter the number code.
I'm also having a ton of problems with the game freezing on loading screens now. Not quite sure what's causing it, but Vig's definitely not alone.
Am I understand correctly that, the green flag banner/event is a daily resetting one? Participate once, get 50 ZG?

Sorry for the double post but I was wondering, do evo requirements change? I could've sworn the black Saber evo with the blades started off (on the first evo of the path) at 5 Zoidnium requirement. When I thought I was 4/5, I went back and it had changed to 6 Rednium? Or am I just going insane? At any rate, new event! Event Zoids: - Command Wolf Black - Command Wolf Military - Command Wolf White Goal: Defeat Command Wolves in Event Missions (they shoot missiles and purple lasers that bite you in the butt). 1~3: Command Wolf; Black; Long Rifle 1 4~8: Command Wolf; White; Long Rifle 1 9~15: Command Wolf; Military; Long Rifle 1 16~50: x50 Zoid Gold, x120 Zoidnium Ore, x30 Zoidnium 51~100: x50 Zoid Gold, x100 Zoidnium Ore, x20 Zoidnium 101~500: x50 Zoid Gold, x80 Zoidnium Ore, x15 Zoidnium 501~X: x50 Zoid Gold, x50 Zoidnium Ore, x10 Zoidnium The 3 Command Wolves have also appeared in Roulette~ Got Black and Military x2 from roulette, hoping to pull together a chance to get the white version too. The Saber Tiger Black had evolution paths that weren't available to the normal Saber Tiger so I'm gonna take a closer look at these later. Edit: Whoo! Saved up ZG from achievements 10-50 at a time and got the White Command Wolf on my very last chance for the day! More questions- Are yellow molga still in the game? I've cleared Smart Ocean and was surprised I hadn't made any progress on this achievement. Will redownloading and installing the app erase my data? I think there's something wrong with my game. I get stuck in never-ending loading screens if I go to the buy ZG or buy energy pages. From both the main page and the shop page. I also can't seem to evolve my White Tigers to their second base form? It's the only Zoid I have that has no material requirements instead of 1 Zoidnium so not sure if that's causing issues. I have one that's already evolved before but all new ones just close the evolve confirm page and nothing happens.

Logged in to a bunch of notifications today. Something about Canauz Island (and some kind of cannon? I think that was me getting beat up in battle, just never got the popup before.) Looks like the island was overtaken. By the Saber I have buyers remorse for not getting ahhhh. Sorry I had to murder you, buddy. Is this typically something that happens now? I notice you don't lose islands when claiming new ones. Or is it an event?

It's their idea of PvP (or more precisely how-to-blatantly-outright-annoy-new-players). Other players take over now the job of random bosses taking over islands which previously had been a CPU only job. If you've seen this the first time and just shrug it off without much troubles be happy since all others have lv120+ constantly sitting on their islands requiring like 2-3 rounds (each time paying) to get them off. Most probably you've low battle rating. Anyway... you don't loose islands when you claim new ones but the more islands you have the higher is the chance somebody is randomly dropped on your island... with lv120+ . You can set up defending zoids on your islands but against lv120+ you need like 3 lv100+ to have a chance of not getting annoyed. If all your islands (except the first) are occupied you not only get next to no energy to fill up but you can also not attack others until you have at least one island free (except the first). The mechanic really is annoying especially since you have no contact with other players so PvP is quite the wrong description.
