...and this is how it came up in my log:

Brotherly Love
4,196 xp / €548 09:04:20
Nobody defeated Starbolt, Airstryke

Decepticon vs. Predacon and the victory went to the Autobots after the timer ran out. Could it be that the part of the engine that looks for the winner in this situation doesn't recognize Preds as being a seperate faction from the 'Cons?

Right people; THIS IS A KNOWN BUG, it's been known about since the preds/maxi where created,

thankyou for constantly informing us that it hasn't mysteriously dissapeared.

As Tammuz said a thousand times: When the system was made for two factions, it was coded to give the victory to the autobots, when they receive less damage than the decepticons, and vice versa if the time runs out.

So, in missions like these, since the autobots received no damage, only the cons, the bots have won the mission.

I was NOT aware this was a known bug, first time I ran into it. I see the last two posts before mine reporting a similar thing and I try to give as much added detail as I can.

You're welcome Tammuz, and I'll be sure to let you know when it does mysteriously dissapear. I'll also assume that any other bug or error I run into from now on has also been reported several hundred times and just ignore it and NOT try to help the HMW community in general.

Here's a suggestion, with it being a known bug why not post it on the HMW command bulletin? Or another idea, a stickied post that only the mods and admins can add to or edit that lists known bugs. Not everyone can take the time to go through 50 plus pages of bug reports to see if what they run into is new or known about.

Or alternately, you could read more than just 2 posts above you when you report a bug? :roll:

Drop it, all three of you.

There is no real harm in reporting an ongoing bug. The only real inconvenience is to the individuals who reported it when they didn't need to.

And I'd much rather people err on the side of reporting something than letting it go.

it seems the alt rotator was suspended after the game being turned off, so will we get the next round of alts next Tuesday?

I thought it would have rotated last week?

If that's the case, then yes, the next round is still a week off.

But I don't know for sure, I've lost track.

It was last week.

Next change is 18/3.

Maximal vs Predacon mission. The predacon retreated but it said

"Outmatched and running low on energy, the Decepticons retreat from the battle. Victory belongs to the Autobots!"

It also said the Autobots won the mission.

Edit: I've got another battle between my Maximal and a Predacon. Said same thing but and neither one of us were statis locked. So who won?
