That's ... news to me.

-edit-

Looks like Mkall's just rolled out some of the older missions with new brackets.

Awesome! Leveling up now....

I have waited so long. :cry:

It truly is a Christmas miracle. :APPLAUSE:

while its being worked on, maybe make the missions 4-6, just so we have a little more room for growth? please? :grin:

Yes! That is a great idea. Mkall may, in a few months from now, get busy and become unable to maintain the game. His head is in the code right now. It should be easier for him to make this change now vs. later. (This is just a suggestion and not a criticism).

Correction, 1 new mission that I hastily wrote to make sure I got the hang of the mission system.

The staff is currently writing some new mission texts that I'll be putting in as soon as I receive the final drafts.

Each mission only takes about 3 mins to add into the system, so I'll always be able to knock off one or two whenever I get them in.

I'm not doing code-work, just database modifications.

Thanks MkAll! It's good to see the game moving forward once again!

Autobots, Decepticons, get in here! 11 mins left!

Feel free to make suggestions for missions if you have them...

Either add them in this thread here or in here on the wiki.

missions with the ranges 3-5, 4-6- and maybe 5-7 would be nice, lets the lower end catch up with out being too over powered

Sombody say new missions? ;;)

Levels from 0 to 11 all have some new missions added. Granted they're still a little sparse on the upper levels, but we'll work on that shan't we?

by **slip** » Sun Jan 03, 2010 2:07 am

Thanks Mkall love the new adjusted payouts.

For those of you who have experienced and are curious, the boys (and Sustain) let me try something differently with the "Hell" missions.

What YOU see as the text is what your opponent sees as well. No differing stories. The back story explains it all, in this little "universe" (i'm working on the belief that if people are going to write their own character fics they're not going to base it on mission texts!) the line between Autobot and Decepticon is blurred and virtually non-existant.

Onto the back story!

In the beginning, Unicron and Primus waged war against each other. Broken and nearly defeated Primus fled to the astral plane, Unicron followed, determined to destroy Primus. Primus however had begun laying a trap, when Unicron followed him to the astral plane, Primus returned to the physical universe where he merged his energy form with a asteroid which he then transformed into a metal world and began to create sentient robotic life upon it. Primus however, was too slow.

Unicron returned from the astral plane sooner than he had anticipated. Seeing what Primus had done, Unicron attempted to merge his own essence with the new planet of Cybertron. It was then that Primus' true plan was revealed, though weakened, Primus used his the remainder of his essence to bind Unicron's essence to Cybertron it's self, though it cost him his own existence, he knew that Unicron was now trapped and would never threaten the universe again.

As millenia passed, the civilisation of Cybertron grew and prospered, everything Primus had dreamed of, his lasting legacy to the universe. What Primus had not foreseen though was the power of Unicron, while he had no body of his own, his essence had spread throughout the entire planet of Cybertron. Seeming into every part of it, while the civilisation grew, so did the dark influence of Unicron. His dark evil essence soon spread to the Cybertronians that Primus himself had created. No one was immune to his dark touch, soon, a planet wide war erupted and the once great civilisation of Cybertron became nothing more than a planet consumed by war fed by the dark influences of Unicron.

Welcome to Hell, prepare for battle.

And I hope you all enjoy the return of the tag team championships.

For the record, tag team missions currently only go up to level 4. As we get more upper level bots we'll add more tag team levels. This was done to encourage cross level participation.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents - LOVE the new missions. Would it be possible to adjust the payout for the Lv2 to 4 mission as well? Last I checked it was still 100exp/50E.

I haven't changed the values of the existing missions. I'll do that over the next few days.

I never liked the fact that if your team wins a mission, and you did nothing, then you have to basically pay for most of the CR chamber.

Adjust the 2-4 and remove the 0-3 completely.

Fixe...There's no strike-out?

FFFFFFFFFFF

CBF to change it. Just imagine there's actually strike out.

These will be awesome when ever the Bots wake up lazy sods always late to be stasised

There will be no cross level missions for level 0's. Too many people have complained for too long that it's just not fair on the level 0's.

So level 0 and level 0 only.

by **Lily** » Sun Jan 03, 2010 1:11 pm

I see that we have a new 1 to 11 as well!
