The Energon Pub

OK, these questions have been bugging me recently, and I'm probably not the only one wondering about these things, so I'm asking here.

The game resets and the new version is implemented.

What do we keep? Names? Alt modes? Anything or nothing?

What do we get? Obviously it has been stated that the new weapons are now being held for the new version, but what else will we be new? (OK, I don't expect a full list of features but it would be nice to know at least some of the things we have to look forward to).

If my memory serves, unless OS comes in and contradicts me, we'll lose everything BUT character names and bios. XP, Energon, Altmodes, Weapons and armour will go out the perverbial window

That's like the perverse version of the proverbial window.

Ah nuts, there goes that Berserk Fury Alt I waited so long for. Well, with the alt rotator, it may show up again. *crosses fingers*

Edit: OS mentioned he was going to try and allow everyone to keep their alts: proof

In the meantime, someone please hand me my helmet. Until I get this foxhole dug, I'm going to need it.

Well, according to this thread

So some good news.

A couple questions.

There was talk some time ago about having the amount of armor a bot is equipped with affecting said bot's speed. For example, 5 tons of armor would slow a bot down a bit more than 4 tons. Is that still being considered for the new version?

If so, is armor type also being considered for such a feature?

To me, names are a must. Everything beyond that is gravy.

Agreed.

Armor is up for some revamping (not a rewrite like weapons, though).

are we going to have some kind of tournament or big battle at the end to finish off this version?

is there any point in a big showcase battle?
and is there any point in keeping alts? i mean, if the tf characters had to change alts in the tv series!
also, sorry i know this has been asked, but do we know when its coming in, v2?

the plan is "before the movie comes out", i believe.

Indeed.

And as far as having a big tournament ending. You all can put on whatever you want to but my time is going to be quite occupied getting the new program up.

Could you at least alter the xp gain to like, 100xNormal and reduce CR time by half for the last week of v<2?

Like I said before, let us go out with a bang! It'll be months/years before most of us get to field a decent configuration again, assuming we keep playing.

Sure. In fact, maybe I'll give a surprise to everybody once a week until the movie comes out. That may respark interest in the game before we re-launch

Sprokitz -- Do you want a special alt for your character since he is maxed out? Unicron or Primus maybe?

or just send him a lapdancer that moans anytime he logs in?

y2si wrote:or just send him a lapdancer that moans anytime he logs in?

wouldn't make sense if he never actually logged out.

yea, and she'd get pretty tired just hovering above him while he traded pithy comebacks with us. i just didnt think that one through. ok let him log in as ryan for a day?

Personally I'd love a big tourny for the end of the road of V1. Hmmm, but what KIND of tourny?

10v10 battles of all levels for triple xp and energon.

Race to catch sprokitz...

Well, the title is obvious:

Heavy Metal War: End Game

Awesome. Thanks!

I think energon and xp should be tripled from now until the new version so we can catch up with Sprockitz

I think most of us will need a little morethan tripple to catch up with him...

For instence, lvl wise, at lvl 5, Im nearly halfway there.
However, xp wise, his upgrades cost more than my entire team's xp.
