Monkey V Monkey (MvM) not working

bloons-monkey-citymobile

In BMCM (Bloons Monkey City Mobile) for Android, when I send bloons to attack other players, the game chooses a random player as my target, asks me the kind of waves to send and then gives me a couple Bloonstones for the attack. I never get notified about how did the attack end, nor I ever get any loot.

Is that because the target player is inactive and never defends himself from the attack, hence it never happens? I've noticed I've never ever have received an attack, and on Contested Territory I'm almost the only one which does even try, as if no one is playing the game.

Has anyone ever launched a successful attack? Is MvM useless on Android? I send attack after attack getting no loot, but having to build new facilities and research new technologies from time to time in order to send the next attack. Is it a waste of money?

Best Answer

In my time on Bloons Monkey City on Android, I've found roughly 95% of people do not attempt to defend against attacks. There's a timer that will eventually time out, (I believe it's around 24 hours) and when it does you should get a message stating that they failed to defend. When that happens, you'll get a "win" bonus, which includes a few bloonstones.

Thus, I will send attacks ASAP when my bloontonium is full, just for the chance at more bloonstones.

Contested territory is a bit more of a fight for me at least. It's definitely worth doing, so long as you are good enough to get at least one of the rewards. It's an excellent way to get free Monkey Knowledge packs, and there are Bloonstone rewards as well.

Players aren't placed into a contested territory until they load the contested territory screen, so technically those people have to be playing. However, it might be that they never make it to the first milestone, or they load it and see someone else's progress and decide not to even try.
