Giving Mkall access is just one person. The control panel is available to all HMW Mods* so we can work as a team and not rely on one person.
*Yeah I realise that seems to only be me these days. At least Psychout had the decency to keep us in the loop on why he wouldn't be around.

Ill be back! You lot arent getting rid of me that easily...
Until then we'll all just have to hope that Ryan actually reads his emails and finally sorts out our game admin/database accesses, even if its just for Mkall.

We (as in Psychout and I) have had an idea brewing. I don't really want to go ahead with it without him around as I really want his input on it.

I think I know which one you mean. Necro the thread in the staff forum so I can see it and ill have a look ASAP.


As for the rest of you here, keep enjoying the game. The more higher level opponenents the better for us part timers - bigger targets for us to shoot at to level up means more opponents for you eventually. No rush though, its all the same at L11 anyway...

It's all about the necro.

And I don't think it could be bumped anyway, that sub-forum is deader than the 'Bot forum before AZ decided to do something about it.

I agree about the level 0 missions. My Autobots are having a hard enough time with other level 0s as it is now, I would hate to see what would happen with higher levels involved.

I wouldn't mind the option of a challenge - higher levels means more xp per hit, and we'd get allies of higher levels to boot. I think it would be kind of neat to have the choice, honestly. My bots would probably just get scrapped a lot more often.

Good point. But even if they got scrapped at least you would get more xp - well in theory at any rate

PRECISELY why i wanna make higher level characters now, so the rest of you can give up good xp

personally I'd LOVE to see some cross factional team up missions, like 10 level 4-10's vs 10 Quint Npc's. have missions to specifically generate good xp, reguardless of "opponents" online. make them hardcore at least 5-7 mill xp build, maybe higher, sharkticons and quints. make them hard as hell to beat, but give like 1,500xp to each winner as a payout.

Can we shelve the "what i'd like to see if we could change the code" talk?

Is there a master list of alt modes for the Autobots somewhere?

The biggest jump in difficulty in HMW is going from level 0 to level 1. It's absolutely brutal. 0s never get enough upgrades to really be good, and 1s have just enough to dominate them like no other levels can. I've seen a single level 1 take out 3 to 4 level 0s. At least a mid range 1 can stand a chance against a 2, to at least hit and do some damage if not kill it. Not so for 0s.

I just added a L0 bot to my team. It is indeed brutal at that level.

LOL. That is why I named him "Cannon Fodder".

Proof that good names are still available.

Or that the original owners of those good names have quit playing.

For a bot called Cannon Fodder, he doesn't seem to be doing too badly.

Then again...you had one of mine backing you up. ^^ (HMW username keeps showing up as my old one, not sure how to fix)

There isn't. I think only the admins can fix it, unless the mods finally get their mod panel back, and it's part of that.

Hmm...oh, well. No worries. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, thus it stands to reason that a bot commander of any other name could still kick just as much aft.

This is pretty much how I feel about it. I'm hesitant to join the 1-3 missions (not so much the 1-2 missions, since I think a couple of my level 1's will be helpful) because I feel I'll let my fellow 'Cons down with my level 1's. Of course, I'll jump into those kinds of missions if the odds are in our favour. Little leech, I am.

Yeesh... What's with this caring and unselfish attitude of mine? What am I now, an Autobot?


Oh, and, Aerialbot Commander, looove the name and avatar. The Aerialbots--and Silverbolt, especially--are very boss.

Actually, you sound very much like a con with that self sacrificing attitude Plaything. It's historically been the bots who are more about themselves.

That's promising

There's a reason I've been dubbed "the savior of the autobots."
