Re: Talkin' 'bout HMW (general babblings)

Postby Newtilator » Wed Jul 20, 2011 9:52 am

Recently I have been dragged back into this game by its many tentacles. It has changed since I last saw it, so I just wanted to ask a question:
Is there any way to change the alt mode of an existing character? I am sure that there used to be a way.
Any help appreciated.
I am a very disgruntled Brit.

Reset the character and it will change the alt mode.

Why not just rename them and reformat them and keep the XP?

I have enjoyed playing this game very much. Lots of very interesting characters, but sometimes...some of you 'Cons aren't very...creative.

This guy has one setup for 12 characters. One alt, one stat setup. I take it he's just farming, but man...feels like an exploit to me.

Well there could be a number of reasons that this person could be doing this. At first glance it looks like they are all the same build, but in fact looking at the characters they are not the same build. Each is slightly different and has had different battle experience. I would assume that this person did what I did at first and used 12 by 12 to get a base understanding of the builds and the way stats work. the total xp of each character is pretty much on par for the levels, so farming isn't really an option. I would just say that this person likes one alt form and is pretty happy with the way that build works certain other enemies.

On a side note, there is nothing in the rules that say you have to have multiple characters, forms, or even names. I know I have seen characters with variations of the same name.

Just my two cents.

If it's any consolation, that dude has 12 identically rubbish setups. No strength = no melee damage and that's where level 1 makes 99% of it's xp. All this really demonstrates is a lack of imagination, but it is the way a great deal of people play once you know the limitations of the game.

Athe other thing is that as characters can't be placed in the same missions as each other it can't really be regarded as an exploit. It also prevented Gestalts and combiners, but such is life.

Aye. I assume he's just waiting to put a few points into strafe to move on to lv 2. 5-6 points in strafe combined with that 5 FP will cause a good amount of damage, even against higher levels. Besides, there are more than enough jacked-up rammers out there. His build would compliment them, even though the lack of armor would mean he would get stasis-locked more often

It didn't have an option for Australia.

You're missing nothing, its shockingly bad.

Its battle beasts crossed with snap, in badly done and laggy flash so you cant even play it on a fruity smartphone, and it looks almost as eye-rapingly awful as the TFW forums.
