the script allowing New Con players into the con forum is run periodically, unfortunately this means you will have to wait till the next "batch" is processed

For some reason it won't let me reset anyone.

I'm assuming it has to do with me being RED: now?

*EDIT*
I just tried to reset Bleedingstar and it just resetted his tactics

[Dark Ops]

I like to experiment. A lot. But I found something entirely new as I was testing out a new build, using the computational body so I could get some extra courage:

My namesake is taking damage like he has maxed-out armor. He has decent STR, and 10 END, but ZERO armor. But these battles show him under attack from battle blades, punches, kicks, and gatling guns, and only taking 1% damage per hit.

In addition to that, tactic damage seems to be down. He was taking rams from enemies with max strength, but he was only taking 10%, 15% damage from them. The biggest ram inflicted today was 18%, but the lion's share falls between 10-15% ranges. Prior to a computational body, using agility or firepower, rams were inflicting around 30% damage. Here are some examples of the new build:

http://seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=262157 Vector Prime got in a 15% ram

http://seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=262020 Here's an 18% ram

http://seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=261581 Here's another 15%

I rebuilt him to be a repair tank, and using that same computational body, Max armor and END+ http://seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_arena.php?arena_id=339029

I've a theory that a bulk body was mistakenly labeled computational, but it's just a guess.

I've been checking the other forums and haven't found any mention of the enhanced protection.

I am unable to log out. I have tried all the logout links...repeatedly.

My wife wants to play when she comes home from work, she can't log in if I'm already logged in.

I can't get any robot mode abilities for some reason, help please.

little error on this mission it was 1 con vs my pred http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=265059
it said nobody defeated pointless(con)and curves(pred)
Outmatched and running low on energy, the Decepticons retreat from the battle. Victory belongs to the Autobots!

Not sure how.. but wrong thread...

Done it. Twice. Nada.

[Venomous Prime]

I don't have any arena logs

I know for a fact I did an arena battle last night and I have 5 more in the arena

[KAMJIIN]

Going on 48 hours now and still can't log out. I've dumped my cookies, cleared my history even run all my maitenance programs. I've rebooted my comp more time than I can count. I've gone to other sites I use and have no problems there.

Every time I hit one of the logout links (any of them) it redirects me to my profile page.

[Barbaric]

I'm having the same problem as Kamjiin

[Scantron]

I brought this up at the end of the "Robot Mode Types" thread, but thought it might be worth mentioning here too:

I'm noticing something odd with the Computational and Bulk Type robot modes. Specifically, the Bulk type doesn't seem to be having any effect on damage absorption, despite it's descriptor, but the Computational type is effecting damage absorption, despite it's descriptor. I'm noticing it with both weapons and tactics, but it's a bit easier to demonstrate conclusively with weapons damage:

To start with, one of Brutallica's Arena logs. I'm using a Melee robot type with her (10 STR, 10 END, 10 Electrum), so that should have no effect on damage absorption:
Brutallica takes 8 – 9% damage from a Gatling Gun
Also note that she hits Shadow Razor (Melee type, 10 STR, 10 END, 10 Electrum) with Battle Blades and does 5 - 6% damage. These damage ranges are typical for both the Gatling Gun and Battle Blades on characters with the kind of armor and robot mode type described above.

Now, check out the logs for a couple of characters using Computational robot types:
Triage-cjb takes multiple hits from Battle Blades, which only do 1% damage each
Triage-cjb again, multiple 1% Battle Blade hits
Disrepair twice takes only 1% damage from Battle Blades
Disrepair takes ~12 hits from weapons (including Battle Blades), punches and kicks…none of which do more than 1% damage

What initially got me thinking about this is that Disrepair has only 9 STR, 9 END and 9 Magnetic armor but is taking less damage per hit than characters with better armor and END (Brutallica's log above)...despite having a Computational set-up, which isn't supposed to effect damage absorption. And Triage, despite having the same armor and END as Brutallica, is taking less damage and, again, using a robot mode ability that isn't supposed to effect damage absorption.

Which brings me to Bulk types...
Laser Scalpel sustains average of 7% damage from Gatling Gun
Laser Scalpel sustains 6% damage from Gatling Gun and 6% damage from Battle Blades

Laser Scalpel has the same armor and END as Brutallica, yet he's sustaining virtually the same amount of weapons damage despite having his Bulk-type robot mode ability maxed out.

I'm curious to know how the Predacons could be awarded the win, but it was an arena battle between Bot vs. Con

Have you clicked any links in the forums lately? If so, did the pop-up window ask you to login? Did you do so?

If so, click the link again, logout from the pop-up window, close it and log out from the original window.

If not, you aren't experiencing the same problem I was. Seek psychatric help

As you may or may not know, if a mission or arena bout runs too long, it will time-out, and the victory will be awarded to the faction that has inflicted the most damage.

The introduction of the new factions has bucked something down the line in the program though, causing it to award the victory to one of the uninvolved factions.

Decepticons vs Maximal = Autobot Victory?

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/view_mission.php?mission_id=272107

At least I survived

[Chaoslock]

Bug to report:
Against the new factions' missions, before the battle starts, the new factions' counter is set to "X"/0 (X is the participants number)

Not life-threatening, but a bug.

[Omega Charge]

Sorry but I just checked for it for the first time in a while, but what happened to the alt mode reference page?

[Tammuz]

it's in the help section, but hasn't been updated in nigh a year

probably got alot to do with the altmode announcement

[jazzrules]

All my mission and arena logs have disappeared. I can click on the name of the mission and it says who was in that mission and how much damage and xp they got, but the actual mission turns have gone.
