You are correct... it does not update anymore (atleast not hourly like it used to).

This is such a deja vu from last year: same problem and it wasn't believed then either. Like then, I'll state it again now. The ranking scores do NOT update any more, not hourly, not daily and not weekly, since the blackout last week.
I'm so meta, even this acronym...

Its not that I didn't believe you, I just wanted to check.
But as its not an integral part of the game it will get fixed when OS fixes it.

Sorry if I came on a bit strong. Last year there was a slight reluctance to believe the rank meter was broken, which actually lasted a few days or even weeks, if I remember correctly.
Like you said, it's not an integral part of the game. But keeping tabs on who is ranking where was still fun...

nothing major at all, but the little icon on the tab that has the white stylized "s" is now a gray circle. might be part of updating the site, but thought i'd mention it anyway

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
Alt modes are broken (for Maximals...or at least me)
When I go to Registry -> Alt Modes I get 47 different alts, all core. There are no commons or rares in the list at all.
Is anyone else getting this too?

It's the same for us. Hopefully once OS see's this he'll have a go at fixing it, but it may not be any time soon.
Until then, it looks like a large number of altmodes have suddenly become very rare...

That would be part of the site update yeah. Ryan's going with the whole grey circly Cybertron thing. Preferred the 'S' myself but eh, as long as the site works who really gives a toss about a favicon?

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
Well I hope the alt rotator gets fixed soon and the ranking reader.
As far as I can tell those are the only two things wrong with game currently.
I know I know I'm repeating everything said before, and I'm aware that OS has life outside of this game. I just hope it's a simple problem and not something overlly complicated.

I think the "s" in a gray circle would look nice. the gray circle looks like a graphic glitch

Re: Bug Reporting Thread
This isn't necessarily a bug, but I will need some L5 missions really soon. Beat Mix will be able to level up within a short period of time.
To make life easier for the developers, could you simply change the L2-L4 missions to L2-L5? I am sure you will receive much support for this idea. I know there will be many cons eager to get a crack at a L5 bot for the extra XP.

i have noticed that when putting my bots in the arena ( on the RARE occasion) against maximals, it says "Wait" instead of "Fight". but then again it could be that there are so few of them that the arena doesnt recognize them as a faction at all

The green highlights/borders for your character's attacks is missing in missions, and there are no borders at all in arena.

It's purely a cosmetic thing caused by the site update and will most likely NOT be fixed before HMW2 as it's such a minor thing.
So get use to it.

I posted this in the site preview section originally, but have received no reply yet,...figured I'd ask it in the bug reporting thread instead... (dunno which section I should have posted in, eh)
hey, I was trying to post a new topic over in the fantasy battles area of the forums and recieved this SQL error....Took a screen shot to show ya,...dunno what's up.

Id guess that Ryan is working on upgrading that section of the site currently, so give it a try later.
Until the upgrade is complete it will get a bit random here at times.
