Background info, I noticed one of my bots coming out of a mission with 0's all over and right after that, when I tried activating my 2 bots coming out of CR, the remained inactive.

I just reset one of my other bots to fiddle around with the settings. I then purchased some armor for it and instead of installing it, he went straight to my inactive list. I checked his profile and his armor is already there. Like RoS, I don't know if I was charged for the install or not. Terrorizer is the one I'm having trouble with now.

So 3 in total that are unable to be activated.

i was able to use my whole team till just now. it looks like after you need to be repaired it instantly heals the character and then you cant activate.

i can only activate my top 3 cons right now

It's not a new glitch, and someone else might have figured it out before, but I just got my team kills to 1 per day, did the math, and apparently my team has been playing for 40 years. I always knew it was off, but I didn't realize it was that off.

Stupid question: is there a problem with armor right now? Got a friend of mine into HMW, and he was telling me he got armor put on, but it didn't charge him anything, even though it said it was going to. Don't suppose that's a known issue, is it?

if you have no strength, you cant install armor. also armor doesn't charge the cost to install, just the price of the armor. its been borked "forever"

There's at least one add in the current rotation that keeps setting off my antivirus scanner. It's only on moderate. It's one of the google doubleclick adds.

You'll be wanting to report that into the main bug thread, not the HMW specific one. :wink:

(not complaining, and I'm sure there's a post about this somewhere)

Incidentally, is armor still broken? I know about the price issue, but armor doesn't seem to do anything (or maybe Iron is just too weak?) Negligible cost for no protection?

Glad HMW is still around.

Armor works fine, your team members just dont have enough strength to equip enough to matter.once you get a 8-10 str then you really notice it. Rank 0 armor also doesnt do a whole lot. Now some high ranked armor, works great (from what i saw back in the SPL)

During SPL my bot had 10 tons of rank 10 armor. Non-tactic attacks would do a maximum of 3% damage, but that was rare. Typically an attack would produce only 1% damage.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you RoS, discoverer of HMW knowledge that was discovered years ago.

Zordon,

what are your avoid and Ram set to? Seeing they would need to be a combined 18 points to hit base level 4 in the first place.

someone else mentioned this a few months back. The "forced level by xp" tables are borked. once you have a certain amount of xp it requires you to be at least a certain level, however sometimes when you upgrade later it ignores the amount of xp you have and reverts to counting upgrades. i'm not sayin it makes sense, but i think thats whats happening

i have 10 ram and 4 avoid, i had 10/3 and currently 2 way from level 4 proper

i think the answers lies with what N_V is saying about the auto-level process

I don't know if anyone else has noticed it but something seems up with the character pages, the bio is now pushed further down the page.

I've asked Ryan if he's been working on the site, just waiting to hear back.
