Well I can do a weekly capture of the high score summary but there isn't much for me to capture in terms of people playing. It won't show an exact idea of who is playing what levels, but it should give an general idea and you can look at the playable fluctuation.

Ahhh...very true. I forget about that little list. I've seen it before, but it was some time ago. That was pretty much the info I was looking for. Thanks!

Some of those high rollers have already been replaced by newer players, allowing for comparable scores. Although a million XP per bot? I severely doubt that has yet been possible: only the top ten were ever able to consistently rake in that much XP.


Darq/Anshin/Warblade/Nyteshade where consistently able to do that when they were in full play. Darq does that still daily as long as I have the time to deploy.

As for players replacing them, they are few and far between. Most of the new players and consistent players I see are around the lvl 4 - 6 are which is why I have changed my team deploys to include Encryption, Seraphim, and Backlash.

I figured out why the team-members you name were getting 1 million XP per bot / per day: you always had the same top guys in the missions. Except for Alldarker, Rampage and Headstrong, I always throw the lowest XP team-members in the missions, circulating them and keeping them together, but also not using them after they'd overtaken their team-mates. This means my mean XP-gain for my lowest 9 guys is always the same, day-by-day, with only my top three able to consistantly make scores of over 1 million a day.

Well as you have said before we tend to all have different play styles. I purposely keep Flashpoint and Shenlong in the rear to lend support to the lower Bots that start to play. But for the most part my first 4 were my play builds, my next two were my stat trackers builds. The next four after that were experiments on different types of weapons, points, and ways to help me figure out math and calculate alternatives. Once I had those figured out I could apply them to my top four. That is why if you look at my builds they differ from the bottom up but follow similar builds at the top even if they have different tactics.

If you look back in March of 2011 I wasn't even in the top 50 of the players. A year and a half and a half later I am right behind Burn himself.

Yup, your march through the ranks has been pretty astounding. I pretty much keep an eye on everyone's general progress and yours was the most consistently impressive. I'm still annoyed by the way Darq overtook Rampage :D

This Decepticon had given up years ago, but I'm back in the game now :grin:

I think you'll find it has less to do with motivation and more to do with moving onto other things that are actually updated.


This, mostly. Been rather busy of late, not to mention Seibertron was actually blocked where I used to work. Besides, I've been having more fun with games like STO and TOR, which, like Burn said, are usually updated (for better or for worse). And if there was a Transformers MMO like those two, you know I'd be there playing it (as a Decepticon, of course).

It's actually been so long that half my team has since disappeared. The other half is still around, and I stuck 'em in some missions before stopping by here. :CON:

I'm was kind of in the same boat. Between the time I fell off a few years ago to the time I came back a few weeks ago, I've graduated college, gotten a job and moved to a new town, bought a house, made bank and got married. It's been an eventful time, to say the least.

That said, now that I'm back, my desire to play is still pretty strong. I think that has to do with the fact I never got very far in the game even before the big reset. I'm still pretty much in the same position I was then - slogging it out at the lower levels (Level 2 currently). So I'm still driven to keep playing to get my 'Bots even stronger so I can experience the higher end of the game.

While I do pine for more players to get into missions with/against, these past few weeks have ironically been the most productive I've ever had. Don't know what the future holds, but my Spartans are gonna be here for a while. :BOT:
