IS the alt rotator AWOL?

Has the down time affected it any or has it been shut down? I'm just curious as we are about due for a rotation...possibly overdue.

It probably should have kicked in last week but the game was again shut down so i'm guessing next week it should kick in.

Pwrsonally I just need three alts to pop up so I can modify my team. War is about constantly adapting and changing to better crush your foes..not that an Autobot would know about that. :P

of course, because the ritualistic arse whuppings we give you are quite obviously a mass hallucination and it's all in our heads...

Ooh. you want my L1's to battle your L3s?

well.. though luck because "destroy the invaders" is not a L1-L3 mission.

Do you hand over the candy canes yourself or do the other cons make you do it?

Is that the current Autobot training technique for their low levels? handing out sweets as rewards?

I wondered why all the challange had gone...

Actually, that mission is "Loot the Planet of Junk," which I recall is a 1-3 mission.

No offense, but it sound like someone lacks the "bearings" to put, as Psychout so elequantly put it, "put yer guns where your mouth is." Which brings us back to your "all talk, no substance" statement earlier...

I'm very sorry!

Bot and Con missions are named differently.

Destroy The Invaders

[Wreck-Gar] "We will not go silently into the night! We will go where no man has gone before, because you gotta fight for your right to party!


only L2-L3 bots in there and it doesn't show me in the mission list.

I'm very sorry but if your view of "challenging an autobot" is fielding a bot with 40k XP against a con with 440k XP you have to seriously be lacking a few nuts and bolts.

In my book, people that have a L6 con and want to challenge a L1 bot are on the level of Hitler/L. Ron Hubbard/The Royal Protocol.

Must feel great to challenge 12 year olds on the internet but still live in a dark corner of Megatrons basement.

Hey; talk trash and you're bound to attract flies. ;)

Actually, I live in a top-floor, one bedroom apartment. And I know a few opposing player's I've come up against who are in their late 20s, if not older. ;)

Or to own your own home in rural England, whilst watching a coward find excuses not to have to fight you?

Its an interesting notion of 'appearance and no substance' you have there.

Heres perspective: bot programmers took 4 years to not balance the weapons, and concluded it was impossible. Mkall's had it balanced in 4 days of playtime.
