The Energon Pub

We need Autobots in the arena! The Decepticons are dying of boredom in there. Eighteen Decepticon fighters and no-one to fight them. Everyone who is NOT a Decepticon, get into the arena and prove yourself!

Actually if you're a Decepticon get out of the arena so I don't have to hear any more of the "oh woe is me i'm a low level Decepticon and constantly out-numbered in missions".

Actually, I'm not too bothered about being outnumbered. Gives my morons something to do.

In my experience the missions is where the Decepticons are @ anyways.

Either that, or the CR Chambers.

IMO the arena is where you put your team when there isn't any good missions for them and you aren't going to get any soon because there are several 1-11 missions with nothing but guys WAY out of your league in them

I use the Arena all the time. After all of my 'Bots have been in a Mission and come out of the CR Chamber, I put them in the Arena. My 'Bots tend to do better in the Arena than the Missions, but XP is better in Missions.

If you're getting better xp in missions, then they clearly aren't doing better in the arena

Now you've done it. You've just gone and exposed the Autobot logic towards this war.

Sh*t...once again I manage to say somethingwrong
I meant that overall my team has a higher success percentage in the Arena than Missions. They're currently sitting on 72% success in the Arena and 63% in Missions.

Better to die for a hundred k than live for six

You know, if you just scratch one of the higher lv. bots paintjobs, you get better Xp than in ten arena fights...

So the answer is- put your lvl 1s in with lvl 8s!

Don't tip them off! Save it for the Con forums!

No pain, no gain is the motto. In my case, it's usually pain. Lot's of pain and beer to help me forget.

<shrug> I've had this discussion before. I think you do better in the long run if you go into missions that you aren't completely outclassed. Instead of entering those other missions in which every 4th one is a mother load but are stasis locked before you can do anything on the other 3. Let's agree to disagree.


And by outclassed I mean 3 or more lvls higher and that gets fudged depending on the support on both sides.

Well, I never normally have the problem of being outclassed at my level. Everything is level 0 or 1, so I send my Decepticons into any available missions. After all, we still get energon and experience whether we win or lose, don't we?
