Thanks

yep.

this is total xp right? not spent XP?

At which point anyone doing that ... we can label losers.

Oh Thats totally fair level limits! Besides after sticking around that long at the lower levels the point gains aren't even worth it!

Hey OS, I guess you won't be needing that pepto as we discussed the other day. Sounds like you got a great thing going. Well done, and thanks for the hard work. We appreciate it.

Thank all of you for your patience. Considering how long everyone had waited for this game to change when I came on board, everyone has been more patient than I had hoped for.

Truly great things do take time if done right. Great things are also worth waiting for. Just remember that there may be high expectations for 2.0 when it does arrive.

You haven't seen my stress reliever squeeze ball next to my computer then

we all want to see a quality HMW V2 and know that if its rushed it wont be as good as we all know you can make it OS!

As of next week (whichever day I am actually able to get it implemented), there will be a script run once a day that checks every character in the game and places them on the appropriate levels if they hit their level's XP cap.

If someone resets, how does this affect the script. If the script just ran, and Mr Y decides to reset his lvl 2 char back to its lvl 0 bully status, would the script keep his lvl at 2 or will the reset allow his char to be at lvl 0 for the day?

Rough guess would be they can configure to be a level 0 or level 1 but they will still be regarded by default as level 2.

OS - One thought I had, we have the progress bar now indicating how many upgrades until the next level, any chance of another progress bar for the xp limit?

To quote Guinness....


"Brilliant!"

Great work OS. So far, everything has been more than worth the wait - except maybe the Kreemzeeks....

But other than that, no worries.

I am hoping for one small addition. A progress bar on Upgrades page would be great so we can see how far we have to go to level up. The logic should already be there for you, so hopefully it would be a matter of just implimenting it to the Upgrade page. Maybe a small upgrade for V2?

Great question. If your character reaches the XP cap for a level the resetting of that character will only take him back to his lowest qualifying level.

For instance: You have a character with 61,000 XP. When you reset him he goes down to a level 1 with 0 stats. There will be no way for you to take him down to level 0 again.

If I understand right, than for a resetted, on a 0 statted lv.1 cons page you can read "0 upgrades, +13 to level up" with the upgraded upgrade-bar?

Boo Level Bullies!!

Hooray Level System!!

Well the trickle of small updates helps a lot, this way we know you're not slacking.

Seriously though I'd rather wait for it to be properly completed than rushed and full of bugs.

And I was enjoying level 5 too ... hope there's lots of 4s to 'Collect'.

I like it a lot. As Burn said, you could quite sensibly put the caps lower, but this should definitely deal with the worst of it.

Sounds like I'm about to become a running joke.

About to become? ...

Now how about that second progress bar idea you apparently "missed" ...

It wasn't "missed". It was "prioritized"

Well it wasn't acknowledged. Burn demands acknowledgement dammit!

And a blue Energon Omega Supreme so he can be picked on by Gore in photoshoots!
