I think I'll leave it in there for the comedy value

I'm too used to just clicking the colour in the font colour pallet...

Yeah, I keep clicking it before I remember it's not working...

Guess I be flipping a coin soon to decide my faction.

No Maximals or Predacons? Oh well, I don't mind. Least we'll be getting some new alts. Let's see now, wonder if the Arwing will finally be implemented?

Skyburst: Oh yes, please, I'd love it.

Revimus Leo: Calm down, Skyburst, you'll do well with whatever aerial alt you get. Don't pester the guys working on the game.

Skyburst: But... those angles... the G-diffuser... ::Breaks down crying::

Revimus Leo: Sheesh, that's pathetic, even for a former Decepticon to break down and cry/whine/throw a tantrum... ::Face palms:: How did I wind up with this band of hyenas?

::Someone in the back:: Hey, Revimus, why don't you sign up with the Decepticons? It'd be different to the Autobots.

Tempting idea, but I'm not much of a Decepticon anyways. I rather got a bit too used to having either a red or green faction symbol. If the Beast factions ever do return, you can bet I'd be with the Maximals again in a heart beat. Otherwise, back to Autobot... For now.

I think that this is the perfect time to keep the four factions. Starting from scratch may give people that wanted to join one of the other factions the opportunity to just start from ground zero with a new faction with the rest of the faction. Just my opinion but while the con in me wants to come out, I think I would like to stay a maximal. That midnight snack does sound so good tho'.

Should we change the slogan from "Don't feed the Terrorscream" to "Don't feed the Mogwai Prime"

Yup. I'd be willing to wait a little longer if that's what it takes to keep them. I wasn't a Predacon or a Maximal, but they've become such a deep part of the game.

If it's a lack of missions, just create one mission for each Bot/Con mission until the Pred/Max factions have something like mirror mission-sets.

But I'm not sure of all the work it's going to take to get the game up AND put them in properly. I just think that if they're not done now, they'll never be done properly ever.

by **Rat Convoy** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 3:16 pm

I think they should be kept. I also think, from a player balance perspective, the missions should be arranged to put Autobots and Maximals on one side and Decepticons and Predacons on the other. I've heard it mentioned that this is more difficult than it sounds programmatically, but still feel it's the best "have your cake and eat it too" scenario, at least short term. If it's found that the Maximals and Predacons have the numbers to support their own missions, than missions can slowly be added for them to enter without the parent factions.

Great. Now Wheelimus Prime is on the same level as me.

Back when we had the subfactions there was extra code built in right? Why can't we have a "Cybertron" faction with Autobot and Maximal subfactions and "Destron" faction with Decepticon and Predacon subfactions?

I think the challenge plus the enjoyment you'll know doubt receive from playing the game should be enough compensation.

I don't mind starting over, maybe I will get my first mech to a million quicker than last time.

Hmmmm...

Should I be a Maximal and continue playing my 2nd generation Dinobots?

Should I join the Autobots and reuse the Guardians of Primus team?

Or should I join the Decepticons and finally write up the Guardians' archenemies, the Renegades?

Or become a Predacon and make a Pirate Crew?

Decisions, Decisions...

Yeah yeah they might be the same level as me too, but that will change and fast.
