Explains the smell... wait, does this mean "budding" is canon in HMW?

Acording to the backstory for the tournies, yes.

I think this is just the time of night for the Maximals to be active.

I'd just like to see missions with tighter level ranges. Right now, my low-level robots are getting trounced by high level ones... and there's no option for me to gain experience other than bend over, take it up the tailpipe, and ask for more.

Why not have several varied level missions? 0-1, 0-2, 1-2, 1-3, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4, that kind of thing. Make them more spread out, so 0s and 1s aren't forced to face level 3s and 4s EVERY SINGLE TIME...

well the maxi's are gettin stronger. It is helpin them to help us get more xp.

I think the biggest issue is not enough maxi's play.

Wow... since this changeover, I've noticed only one mission that wasn't Bot/Con. And every one of those Bot/Con missions was VERY heavily skewed towards the Decepticons (which is natural, since the Cons have more players and stronger characters).

At this rate, the strong (Cons) will only continue to get stronger, and the weak will only continue to get weaker. Are there any plans to increase the parity in the game, or is it a foregone conclusion that the Decepticons will win just about every overall challenge from here on out? I'd like to see a weekend, or longer (or permenant) where each faction get an experience and energon bonus on every mission and arena fight, inversely proportional to the percentage-breakdown of membership for every faction. I.e., if there are 10% more con players than bot players, every bot player gets +10% experience and energon for every mission and arena fight...

i actually fond the con to be the best xp gettable, their stronger force does equal better xp, and they're not impossible to beat, just hard. the bots were a close second, as they tend to have 1-3 good level bots with the 0's, which gives them a fighting chance.

Autobot faction largest. Con second largest. Cons are just better organized.

i started playing the 1st or 2nd day of the reset. This is how i thought it would be when i started.

the xp is GETTING better, still not as good as fightin bots and cons all day. but its deffinately more reasonable today.

i expected the game to be more like this all along.

i'm not sayin i wouldn't love the vs. bot/con ratio turned up a little, just sayin i prefer the CONCEPT of fightin maxi's more.

Come on maxi's, pring your mom, bring your pa, bring your best friend, and bring your daughter, to the slaughterstep right up, no maxi turned away. i got ammo for all of ya. line 'em up to get knocked down. It's huntin season and I'm huntin wabbits!and bison, and cheeta's, and wolves, and ducks, and elephants....

Fixed - in bold. Seriously, I'm happy with the overall state of power level in this game. It mirrors the geopolitik of the actual G1 continuity, weirdly enough.

i hate to say it, but nick is right. in the various tf series' some are just stronger than others. Cons always had superior fire power. bots always had the cutting edge tech, and didn't have to worry about energon. preds were stronger than maxi's, but maxi's had stronger tactics.

and yes, GS will win 96% of mission's he's in. its just a fact of the game.

Cry havoc! A war dawn is set to rise over the shattered cities of Cybertron, and the ground shall move with the primal echoes of marching legions. Blue carnage. Righteous frenzy. An underclass seeks to assert dominion and subjugation, and has vowed to rip the very throat from this dying world. A planet torn asuner in a sea of havoc, shuddering with an unspeakable dread.
