The Energon Pub

Yeah, it was quite odd to see my old characters with their replacement's bios. Gorozaurer as an overactive raver salvage expert was fairly amusing.

Actually, I think the most amusing thing is that I think I have more energon now than I did before OS's quick fix.

OK, I've compared my stats to my weekly spreadsheet and my exps is the exact same as they were Feb 25th (except a few have 2-3k difference, but that's close enough for me). Most of my bots were passing the 15 mil mark, last place guy just got 6 mil, with a total of 166 mil, and now I'm at 104 mil, with only 1 bot above 10 mil, last place at 2.3 mil.

I've recorded everything about my characters as they were on Sunday (as I still have a firefox window open with them all displayed), so at this point I am going to consider them retired.

And what's a Kremzeek, anyway? (I know the episode, but never saw one in this game before..)

it is disheartening but OH well. I'll get through it.

My team were all level 2 and now they are level 1 can you bring them back to level, Tauras had someting like 350000 exp, Rapter was at 315000, mile hi was at 300000 the rest were high 200000 Except Ranger and First alert who were around 75000. If you could fix that it would be great.

You missed the fun yesterday, dude.

OS released a limited quantity (150?) into the armory yesterday, unlockable with 4 FRP and 3 SK and devastating to incredible damage. Most people thought they were just expensive alternatives to battle blades...

But oh BOY were we wrong.

They were incredibly unstable; they would strafe on their own, sometimes attacking the enemy or other times going after your allies, and sometimes they'd even attack the wielder with disastrous results. I have a few screenshots of a Kremzeek in action somewhere...

Regardless, they were fun little guys to throw around in battle. I still have mine, but none of the stats to use them at the moment... XD

Well, most of the damage has been remedied, so now the only thing to do is to keep playing until V2. Until then, I keep fighting.

Looks like if a character stats have reverted to stats and can not wield the weapon they had then that weapon has been lost.

Example is one of mine had BB's but with this semi-reset he reverted back to 2fp and the BB's are gone and not in my stash of weapons anymore. Had a set for everyone but now only have maybe 2-3. Just have to do something different now I guess.

Ditto.

though to be fair my numbers didn't change much between Feb and April due to lack of play...

I really didn't want to bring it up and potentially make a bad problem worse but...

Weren't we told after the last crash that back-ups were going to be made more regularly (ie at least once a month) and now we're backed up to 'April' which looks suspiciously like Feb.

Who dropped the ball on this? I'm fairly certain it's not OS's responsiblity to back that data up since he had to ask Ryan for it.

Hey, whatever, who needs data backup when we have those pretty galleries to look at...

And games crashes (especially ones that outrage people)always mean more traffic for the boards... boost them pre-movie hits... :-?

uhm.

Lesson to be learned: More frequent backups for V2.

I saw that practically every bot lost several 100,000 xp, and my two level 4's were severely knocked back to level 3... This is very demotivating, and I will probably will not be playing anymore until HMW 2.0 gets going... Shouldn't be too long, but still, very disheartening.

Oh well... If OS can do anything to get my stats back I'd be very grateful: I had two level 4 'bots: Pig Head with 1,390,000 xp and Alldarker with 1,300,000 xp, 7 level 3 'bots with around 1,000,000 xp each, and one level 2 bot with around 800,000 xp (Slapper). It would at least motivate me to keep playing.

I just caught that, too. It appears I'm down three sets of BB's for characters who couldn't use them back during April or whenever... Ones that were sitting in the armory (a Black Magic and four Kremzeeks), however, didn't get wiped... :-?

Oh well, I bought up a few Energon Crossbows to stand in until I figure something else out.

I noticed if you equip a weapon to someone who had bb and no w don't have the stats they will reappear in your weapon stash Thats what happened to all my Kremzeeks I can't weild now

THE WEAPONS HAVE NOT BEEN LOST!

reset and re-apply the stats required and Voila! The weapon reappears when you re-arm. As for unresettables; i know exactly how screwed you are and have no advice. Sorry.

well, all my guys are back to level 0, with 5 no xp at all.

I know we are going to lose all of this anyway but, so I guess it really does not amke a difference

The problem is I did not get enough Energon to get my weapons back

I would complain, but v2 is just too close to bother with that whole process. While it does suck, meh, whatever.

I was hoping to take a screenshot of my troops before the big reset. :-x

What do we call this? "Whoops 2.0"?

I'm going to take a break until either my troops are restored to what it was yesterday evening or the official reset.
