the bug where you get dropped from missions, stasis locked, and don't get put into CR is back.

Seconded

Extricate joined the mission just as it was closing. The mission log doesn't show him, but the link is displayed in my bot's history. (He also came out stasis locked. Bummer.)

Yet another instance of one of my Maximals winning a mission, this time putting the opponent in stasis lock, and having an uninvolved faction win... No seriously, how does that happen? :BANG_HEAD: :BANG_HEAD: :BANG_HEAD: :BOOM:

I figured I should post this here since one of the problems is likely an error. After extensive testing of the different robot modes, I can say without a doubt that two of them are either bugged or too weak in some areas.

The Computational mode is not boosting courage as it is supposed to. This is most likely a bug, and may be conneted to the unusual resilliance that some are experiancing with it.

The bulk type is either not working at all, unintentionally weak, or is suffering from Endurance not being strong enough. Whichever it may be, the bulk type or Endurance(Assuming it has not been boosted in V2.0.) need to be altered to give more bang for the buck.

That bug's been there since the Robot Modes were brought in - I can't remember what causes it, but it's aesthetic only. I think some people have hung on to it intentionally because it's cool.

Computational bodies seem to be doing what bulks are supposed to do. I have outfitted several bots with 10-rank computational bodies and 10 END, and no matter how powerful the weapon, they only do 1% damage. In addition, 10STR rams against them inflict anywhere from 20 to 10% damage.

It probably got caught in the exp leveling that OS did a while back. Basically you have a certain range where you are a level before the game automatically levels you up. It is designed to keep level bullies out of the game. There isn't any way around it. If I reset my mechs and have nothing upgraded, I will be at level 3 for each of my mechs.

The HMW and Forum sidebars have been updated. The Pit, EBC,etc. are currently useless so there is no need for them to take up space. HWM has finally become HMW. and on the forums sidebar, Heavy metal war has been changed to heavy metal war forums.

Bisped has FP 0 but has Dol equipped. I think someone told me some old weapons had been altered once upon a time, but those in use remained. Is this one of them?

If I remember rightly, it only shows weapons you have the stats for and that are in stock.

At level 0 there is NOTHING you can use in stock anymore, a problem that hasnt been fixed due to the aproaching reset for V2 (whenever that happens).

I have no idea whether its just me but I keep seeing opponents at levels which their stats don't agree with.
This is the latest one I've seen:
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/character.php?character_id=76936

Apparently it's a Level 1, but his stats only show 2 upgrades to courage and nothing else.

er dude, points in tactics also count towards your level, that guy clearly has enough xp to have 3strafe(and certainly has at least 1 point in it going off his logs) and thus be level 1
