So does anyone know why my w-l record along with a lot of others that i see have gone to 0-0

by **MPollard** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 9:09 pm

Well, now we're battling Maelstrom, Mainframe's general. Who's ranked as "recruit" on the battle grid...

And I beat him in a battle! But nothing special seems to have happened. I don't even get a stats bump - it seems that it's not just out losses that are ignored with him. I expect the individual battles don't matter at all, just the total damage dealt.

Unless the site just decrements his health periodically - it was 98% about 8EST, and now it's 97%. Still doesn't seem like he'll be KO'd by Wednesday...

And I would wonder about Mainframe himself - shouldn't there be a 5th mission? Or maybe video-game style additional generals, since Maelstrom is ranked as recruit - that would potentially give nine generals before Mainframe, who could be the tenth.

That could give an extra couple of weeks' of gameplay, if anybody were to stay interested. Of course, as poorly executed as the thing is, that ain't gonna happen.

I just want my tickets, which I have already earned as of Saturday night.

Yeah, I missed two or three weeks and logged on today to notice my record is completely wiped and any new battles I get into aren't being tracked. Sucks.

Any word yet on our tickets?!?!?

by **TAG UR IT** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 10:38 am

don't think anyones getting tickets...I, along w/ many others on our board said screw it. We went ahead and purchased ours. Great movie...

Maelstrom is down to 67% now.

legs, arms, head, torso, weapons in that order. Won't do much. I beat him once too since he missed me every time. Beat him on my very first battle. I'm curious to see what happens even though the site sux, my battle record went to 0-0, and all my current wins/losses aren't counted. Details on Maelstrom said losses wouldn't count against the player...but what about wins?!?!

This site has really gotten on my nerves. It's all jacked up, a bunch of people are cheating, the site WAS slow as heck, we don't get to watch real time battles, and the list goes on. I still want to see what happens, but this is freakin sad. :MAD:

heh, I find it annoyingly odd that I've lost every battle against Maelstrom. You know what makes it annoyingly pathetic?

Mangatron notices a brief energon flare in the general's legs. MAELSTROM fires their base laser cannon and scorches MANGATRON's legs, causing 192 damage.

Mangatron notices a small breach in the general's arms.MANGATRON's impact critically hits MAELSTROM's torso, causing 810 damage. MAELSTROM missed MANGATRON's torso completely.

Mangatron disrupts the general's communication channels! MANGATRON pounds on MAELSTROM's head, causing 723 damage. MANGATRON dodged MAELSTROM's attack to the head.

Mangatron's attack exposes a slight weakness in the general's torso.MANGATRON fires off a round and blasts MAELSTROM's legs, causing 884 damage. MAELSTROM missed MANGATRON's head completely.

Mangatron ruptures the general's weapon systems! MANGATRON's attack hits MAELSTROM's weapons, causing 1825 damage. MANGATRON deflected MAELSTROM's attack to its arms, sending 6 damage back to MAELSTROM's arms while still taking 9 damage itself.

MAELSTROM (Winner)

- range / legs
- range / torso
- range / head
- range / head
- punch / arms

MANGATRON (Loser)
CHEVY EQUINOX
- roadThunderLauncher / arms
- kick / torso
- punch / head
- range / legs
- punch / weapons

Right, I lost. Way to go Maelstrom, not only did they not count my attack to your bloody arms, but everyone of my attacks hit back 3 times more than your highest attack! And I still lost?

The love is gone.

If you read the latest news deal about him on the main page, it says that you won't beat him, but that it will take everyone together to take him down. I did beat him once only because he never hit me. But still, that's how it goes for now. We all have to continue to attack him to get his damage level down....he's at 56% now. He was at 97% last night. If everyone challenged him today, he could be beaten. Then again, maybe his damage is going down according to a computer program regardless of the # of challenges. :-?

I changed form to the Impala ... activate Enhanced Evade on my Torso for first move, then Katana/Pulse Gun/Laser/Laser Arms/head/Torso/Weapons

Does 1% to each of his body parts and he never even touches me.

Try it Manga...

heh, it works, thanks bud. But I was wondering, has anyone got their tickets for being in the top 2000? It's the 10th already, and I'd hate to think this Maelstrom has our tickets lol :lol:

Right now he's at 14% so let's beat him and win our tickets! :lol:

by **hellsing_mongrel** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 7:10 am

Yeah, I HAVE to play this...because Ever since I saw the movie, I couldn't stop creating an Autobot personality for my Aveo Sedan...XD And lo and behold, they have Aveos here, and in the exact same color as mine, too!!! Too bad they're not hatchbacks. >_> hahahahaha At least I know what Chipmunk would really look like as an Autobot? XD Sweeeeet!

by **novabotox** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:29 am

He's been on 14% for days now.. maybe they bugged this one too.
A shame, a great community game that should've ended before the fourth of July to keep interest in maximum.

Poorly run great idea, what a waste.

by **MPollard** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 3:51 pm

Chevy has acknowledged a problem with the website, and they say it should be fixed. (I reported the issue on the Chevy feedback site.) The lady who called didn't know if his damage level would jump or if he would just start taking damage... Would be a bummer if we missed the death scene...

by **MPollard** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 3:56 pm

On a more important matter :wink:

, Chevy says that all the top 2000 are supposed to be getting tickets, and it's Fandango's fault that we haven't gotten them. (Sounds like blame-shifting to me - :oops:

) Well, maybe we'll actually get them in time for the sequel... :APPLAUSE:

Well at least we know now why there aren't any tickets yet. Thanks for the update bud.

by **Galvanic** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 5:19 pm

Yeah....I just wanted to chime in here and say that I just received my tickets. Well, more like I received an e-mail with a special code and a link to the Fandango site to redeem my tickets. Either way Both Chevy and Fandango kept good with their promise.

Lator Gators It's been real!

Well that sucks. I have yet to get this email. So what is this, the top 2 players get them? lolz.....

On a side note, Maelstromy is still 14% alive and when would we be able to see the end of a wonderful game? Sure enjoyed my time, although it is uncertain if this time spent will be well spent....

by **lkavadas** » Sun Jul 22, 2007 2:51 pm

Has there been any fix to the all of the 0-0 people? I've been stuck at 0-0 for over a month and finally gave up awhile ago.

by **MPollard** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 11:55 am

Looks like the score thing has been fixed - all the ones on my current Challenge list look good, but you'll have to check yourself since mine didn't have a problem.

And current battles are being recorded, despite the original attempt not to count them against Maelstrom. That means that if you use a method that lets you avoid damage, you'll increase your standing. (But if you don't, your standing will go down...)

Of course, our tickets were supposed to be based on our rank as of June 30, but increasing levels is nice. I've gone up one, but it takes so many battles now it's slow going. The one level increased my damage dealt by about 10%.

Did anybody check the site recently? Everytime I type chevyautobot.com it goes to chevroletautobot.com and then I can't even log in.

Dmn I feel so cheated now, I played this game more than the transformersgame.com Battle for the allspark and now it feels like everything was a waste. I didn't even get no email for the tickets.

by **MPollard** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 10:08 am

The site's still working, or as much as it has been for the past several weeks. Make sure you're typing it right, have cookies enabled, etc. If that fails, try clearing your cache and cookies and try again. I have also had the site stop working because something was blocked by my software firewall.

well its official, the silly site says my email address does not exist when I try to have my password emailed to me. Anyone who can open the site see if I'm still there in the ranks?

I now feel compelled to email chevrolet about this grave oversight.

by **MPollard** » Thu Aug 02, 2007 4:25 pm

You're still there...

I finally won.
Took a few hours to figure out how to beat Mainframe, but I finally did it.

I don't see a spoiler tag on these forums, so I'll just put in a link to my post on another site that *does* have spoiler coverage.

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19199&start=124

And there are *still* people cheating!
I was just bumped out of #10 by "yyleeprime" - user number 224690.

Well the site did track those who reached their ranks by the order they achieved it, so good luck to all - enjoyed battling you. And congo-rats to
Mangatron (3623) 1st to rank 10
Wyldefyr (3535) 2nd to rank 10
Pelgarotron (3250) 3rd to rank 10

These are the only 3 in the top 20 whose user-id numbers are under 10K!

by **Pelgarotron** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 6:05 am

And this morning I find I have dropped 200 of my wins somewhere - prolly behind the couch?

Oh well - silly buggy game. I had 935 wins last night - now 735.

by **MPollard** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 5:01 pm

Now that Mainframe has been defeated, now what?

The end of the fight indicates the game is over, but when I update the home page, nothing has changed, not even my win stats. (So I went back and defeated Mainframe again... B-) )
