So none of the ppl who have played for a long time will get to keep anything? not possible for ppl who have played awhile to have some sort of bonus?

We can try to have some sort of recognition for veteran players but it won't be in the form of XP or Energon. I am open to suggestion as to what the recognition should be but we would need to start a different thread for that discussion.

Mkall in the first post wrote:2. What will be kept/lost during this reset?
You will keep all created characters, and those characters will keep their names and bios. They will lose all xp, weapons, armour, current altmode and as a player you will lose all energon and weapons in storage. The option to change you allegiance should be available

This applies to everyone, regardless of amount of play time

Another question on weapons

For the new weapons chart, is damage incurred going to be their only effect or will some weapons have other effects (i.e. Paralyzing Poison Fluids actually paralyzing an opponent)?

As soon as I get them all coded in I will release the new help pages for the new system. At that point you should have everything you need to know.
I'm focusing my efforts on the completion of Cybertron right now.

OS stated in another thread that minicons and masters will be in the next version.

This is a pretty dumb question, but do we get to name the minicons/masters as if they were just little TF's attached to our big TF's?

Two questions.

1) Will we have none-combat stuff to spend Energon on (Such as building and upgrading a base). The idea has been mentioned before.

2) Will there be the option of re-statting a character without resetting them?

Not at first, but I want to add the ability for a faction to upgrade territories that they own.

Not sure, but I don't think so.

Secondly, is there some failsafe idea that prevents one team being completely wiped off the face of cybertron?

Yes there will be something :twisted:
