it’s all good! at least we now have a heads up that the Cons are team watching

that guy would never make such a questionable deployment without backup if my team was fully charged.

this works for us in a sense that they can’t watch ALL the Autobot teams... so we can catch them slippin and when they do.. boom, scoreboard tallies.

2 awesome deployment opportunities:
4-5 mission https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... _id=479781

1-11 mission https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... _id=479770

I'm throwing my dolphin in there when I have her available After the event, my other level 5 is going back to repairing, also. Wanted one of them to have some sort of defense for the event.

EDIT: If I see a 'Bot fighting in a 4-6 or 5-7, I send her in. Otherwise, she goes to the Hell Missions

I have Crudgle & Darth Howler lvl 6, Asira, Avlem & Jack lvl 7 and Thunderclash lvl 5 lol. Kup’s gotta stay at the ground level for a bit.

just be careful with those hell missions. if you don’t have sufficient high end back up it’s just a waste of resources that would be more usefully deployed elsewhere. this is why we need to coordinate, because every mission counts.

wanna perhaps make people mad jack go all armor rank(no courage) on thunderclash next time his alt comes around as a test
maybe do that with halowjack( basically just switch the courage and rank)

I jump into them sometimes when I watch several disappear with only 'Cons in them. I enjoy the Hell Missions, so I do it in hopes others will join in. It usually works. It doesn't bother me if I end up being the only one.

I'm in there with you, SoL

already been on that for years bro lol. meet The Crudgle. the answer to the question of “what happened to the MiniCons?”..(it will be implied that they were all force combined into him and it is what shut down the server in ‘08 and created the great reset) just haven’t got around to fleshing out his dusty aft 10 year old bio though

anyway, dude is my test subject and has never had any courage. he’s a very effective tank, and usually takes more than 10 hits to kill. but lately he’s been hit or miss, i’ve gotten zero’ed out in more missions with him lately than any one of my other troops.

and just recently, it took about 9 minutes for him to die (a 0 out match) and in that time frame didn’t make a single maneuver

I love my medics

good strategy SoL. use it well, friend.

@ashe, dangit man i wish i was around to join in some of those missions. mornings for me are kind of hectic so it’s no guarantee i’ll be on to throw in.

this is why i stress cooperation between all available Autobots in Iacon, so we can always back one another up and not get caught in the Con trap of bragging rights. all that can come later, once we begin winning on our own terms, not over lucky wins we get.

if we work together to establish a support system over here, we can do anything.

what we need to hold on to is the fact that we have the advantage of choosing our targets, so we must utilize that to its fullest extent.

when we make unhelpful deployment decisions, the Autobots lose valuable resources, and missions that can actually be won by proper cooperation are being fought by one or two bots because the rest of the Autobot army is in stasis lock.

we quite honestly need to pick and choose when and where we strike and stick to those mechanics.

concerning Hell missions, i hate to drag on about it, but it’s important that we all understand what’s at stake:
Hell missions are among the funnest missions. that’s incontestable.

they offer big payouts on a good run. that’s incontestable as well.

but entering a Hell mission as soon as it pops up, and with an alt mode that is being hunted for the event, and with no high level backup, is detrimental to the Autobot cause.

i have to say this again, without high level backup, it is an unwise decision to just deploy into a hell mission as soon as it appears.

Autobots simply do not have the resources for that.

it is essentially handing the enemy free points, especially when the bot could have been used more strategically elsewhere.

we Autobots are severely outnumbered: every victory counts. every loss hurts.

during non-event downtime, there is absolutely no problem with deploying whenever we want into hell, because that is the time we take to build and get exp, but during the time when we are in an active campaign that will decide the overall fate of Cybertron, we can not afford to have rogue Autobots looking for big exp gains.

please be aware that i am NOT singling anyone out; and despite what the Cons are probably saying about me, i do not think myself superior to any Autobots, because obviously we’re all in this together and i just want us to work together and do well while not fighting the war in a manner that benefits the Decepticons over our own faction. that is all.

as long as Autobots remember that, we’ll be alright.

with that said, i must address exactly what i am talking about:

these two missions:
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... _id=480398
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... _id=480400

those deployments are an honest waste of extremely valuable resources, especially when we could have used a healer here, which was just 4 missions after the hell one.
https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... _id=480404

we can fight this war effectively, Autobots. it just takes patience and strategic planning. trust and believe.

we have the advantage of strategic deployments, but we Autobots need to work together and get ALL of us who are participating in this event in Iacon talking about winning tactics.

if any AUTOBOT disagrees, please give sound reasoning for objective consideration. all viewpoints will be considered.

maybe do that with halowjack( basically just switch the courage and rank)

with HallowJack, his alt mode is locked in, as it was an alt hunt. if i reformat him, i’ll lose the alt, sadly :/

but check this out!

https://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwa ... _id=480378

@1:38 is Crudgle’s 1 and only move. and he’s the last one to go down in the entire mission.

all rank and no courage is an awesome damage absorption build. when severely outnumbered, its good for a metal shield for allies, but not goot for getting moves in unless there’s a good repair bot.

And I'll repeat this for you, Jack.

There are rarely any high levels going into the Hell Missions throughout the day. Rather than just staying out of them, some of us choose to enter. You don't have to condone what others find fun. I enter Hell Missions with no backup quite often and almost always walk out with more XP than I had walking in. Sometimes, quite a bit more. If no one starts entering, they just get wasted, and that's not fun.

So I'd suggest if anyone has fun in them, go for it. Maybe they'll start being more active.

Level 4-6, at least one target. Less than 9 minutes to join!
