Burn wrote:You know the best way to get more people up to that level?

Having those level 4's join in missions so the lower folks can score some bigger xp off them.

What was it AZ said? Sportsmanship?

Just saying ...

All my 'bots have enough xp to be level 4's, but I've been there, and with just the one mission type that spawns at that level and with the low amount of other level 4's and the low amount of 'cons playing, it's very discouraging to stay at level 4 for too long. Right now I keep reconfiguring my 'bots to stay at level 3, only because there is more competition up to that level!

That's pretty much exactly what Burn is talking about. You could be there, you could be generating missions to give the cons and maxi's a chance at more XP so they can level up and you'd have more competition, but instead, you'd rather stay at level 3.

No, you have it wrong. When I WAS keeping my 'bots at level 4 I was the only one spawning the level 2-4 (Defend the refinery) missions, with more often than not no or not enough 'Cons available to join and put up a real fight. I would be scoring just 100 XP (and a steady increase of my win percentage) for the trouble. I'm definitely meeting more resistance being a level 3, meaning more fun for me AND I'm offering more chances at generating XP for lower level 'Cons, who at least can FIND me when my 'Bots are at level 3.

Works both ways right now I have 6 level 4s that have no one to play with. I spawn the missions for them anyway. If a few bots manage to hop in the beat me they get more points off me and level up faster. Makes them more fun later. but that is just me.

It depends on the time of day, I just generated 4 2-4 missions against the Cons and had opposition show up in each one. Hell, I even occasionally get Maximals in the 2-4 missions.

Hey,

I really want to participate in this thread, but I am in a hurry to catch a flight. I will be back on Monday and will give you my input. I have been out of the loop on the boards for the past two weeks, as work has been keeping me busy (but not too busy to play HMW).

-RoS

For what it's worth, every time I see a Level 2-4 mission, one of my 'Cons is in it. Now if only the level 4's would show up more often, I could level up that much quicker.

The level 0-1's that tend to fill in the other missions just can't give any competition to my level 3's. And before you go harping on it yes I still join the lower level missions. It's a good way to terrorize all the new non-Decepticons.

You, GS, and ROS should all be able to do it. Which would clear out the higher end level 4s, which I think would be good for the rest of us.

Are we able to do so? I will if we can. As far as entering missions, I try whenever possibile. Most of the time the missions I enter time out with no competition though, so I stay in the arena mostly when I play...

There's nothing stoping you guys from going to level 5, you just wont have missions.
