last may there was a database error or something, and we rolled back to febuary, everyone lost all progress, however anyone who created an account at that time lost everthing and such don't really exist as far as HMW concerns, they have no money to create TFs, and no one can donate to them.

And the mods can't delet the old acounts?

Tue Jan 15, 2008 11:59 pm

tthe admins could, but that tends to kill the board and cuase that to crash, anyway the account(remember these peeps still exist) works for most of the site just not HMW, OS however can sort it out

So much for that assessment. :cry:

So, do we have any word on a possible ETA for the game's return?

No.

The Sunday/Monday estimate was based on Seibertron saying that he "turned off HMW for the weekend". Hypothetically, it's just a matter of waiting for him to turn it back on now that the weekend is over.

Unfortunately, Seibs offers little in the way of solid schedules.

Just like the military having their schedule set in jello.

Its a hangover from the last programmer. He added robot modes to the game, but they didnt work properly so he removed them just before he quit.

Reset the minion and all details of robot mode should disspapear, but if you cant reset it or want to keep the altmode then you'll just have to ignore it, but whatever you do, dont try to put any xp into it as if you do it will be wasted.

You're Welcome, always nice to see a polite newbie.

Hi guys, I've found few more questions and willing to be answered:

What does "Recharge" means in the weapons' descriptions?

Why is the Reference: Alt-mode icons not showing any icon now?

Thanks

Hi MagnusLabel,

Think of it as the reload rate as it's a very rough indication of how soon you can use it again.

e.g Rocket Launcher takes about 1 minute to recharge/reload so if you make 3 normal (non=-tactic) attacks in a minute you'll only fire the laucher once. (Caelus might have changed that time recently).

Whereas Battle Blades have No Recharge so they'll be used in every non-tactic attack.

MagnusLabel wrote:Why is the Reference: Alt-mode icons not showing any icon now?

Hmm, good question.... Anyone got an answer?

Sun Mar 16, 2008 9:22 am

oh yes the weapons are entirely balanced whithin themselves; nothing now has a stupidley long recharge time, or has stupidely high damage for stupidely low stats

The alts were due a complete change when V2 was originally so I guess the original list, which was heinously out of date even then, was dumped and never replaced.

I wouldnt expect to see anything there for a fair while yet.

So is it mean weapons have ho recharge are better than those have short recharge because of can be used in every non-tactic attack? :-?

Thanks again.

Sort of... SR weapons tend to do more damage, and every weapon under 24 seconds are useable.
