Well rnk and skl arnt a complete waste of time, they do have *some* effect (unless you arnt armign the particular charecter yet, in which case skill will indeed be useless) but yeah, unless its a medic, int's pretty pointless (other than to help unlock the Autobot super secret weapon).

i did 2 ranks of rank, but the 4.5 hour install was crap. and i don't see any difference in damage reduction. but i got it to het me to 4 quicker.

Rank can be helpful if you have a decent strength to take advantage of the better armor.

Pardon all - had a massive PEBKAC when I had time a day and a half ago to get the tallies out. However, they are done (link).

To the Maximals - good show. Was a much bloodier round.

Now, for Round 5.

-- I'm for including G1 vs. G1 in the valid missions OR including G1 vs. Beast arena. VOTE - Which way do we go?
-- If we score G1 vs. G1 missions, then cross-generational wins will be worth more (e.g. "5 points")
-- This last round's execution seemed to hit a sweet spot for participation on the Beast side. I recommend we run 5 in the same slot this coming week - just to have the final throw down be another good one.

Now that I'm back on my computer - time to submit my fellas for some fragging.

Missions. Including Arena bouts in a tournie is a *bad* idea. There's next to no strategy for a start.

To be blunt this is my preference as well.

Also, Psych, what's your story hook / idea for making G1 missions work?

News Credits: 2 · by **Zordon** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 12:21 pm

missions only, i like the 5pt. bonus for cross-g missions idea

what sorta start number/time date you heading for WS?

oh and WS do me a favor and put Raphael and Sarathiel in missions as much as you can

as they are the last two of you team i need for the big bounty :grin:

Ccat can you do the same with Abyssal Sentinel and Black Shuck

ok do you a deal, i will play kitty all the available time i can, i currently play Airstorm Alpha as and when available and the other guy from bottom up over. I will change my system to play ASA, kitty and bottom 4 if you can do the same thing, lets see who gets who first

I've been less active since I'm trying to beat Last Remenant finally (beat the crap out of RE5 and Infinite Undiscovery) but I'll put her out whenever I can.

Given the overwhelming response...

-- G1 vs. G1 missions WILL be used in the Round 5 tally. Their inclusion will follow the Beast vs. Beast.
-- All cross-generational wins will score as 5 inter-generational wins.
-- The Beast bonuses will still apply to the totals for the faction
-- I'm posting the Round 5 mission range now - get ready.

Since Editor asked in the Round 5 thread, one more bullet...

-- Signups (G1 and Beast) carry over from previous rounds and no new entrants are accepted.

400 missions and counting.

th-th-th thats all folks.

Well that was f**king rubbish.

It starts when Im asleep.
I wake up, *NO* maximals are online.
I go to work.
I get back from work, *still* no maximals, managed all of 2 cross generational missions, then seibertron died entierly.

Grr. Very frustrating.

yea, i noticed the "mini-great-shutdown" yesterday as well,...I got a few more missions in, but not as many as I would have liked to :-(

News Credits: 1 · by **Redimus** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 1:37 pm

It happened for me at the only time during this round when I stood a half decent chance of getting some kills in. Very frustrating.

by **vaporretarder** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 5:11 pm

half and half with me, real life crap got in the way this week, eh oh well, wasn't really MY contest anyways, it was a beastie tourney, and we only got in on the tail end of it :-)

was still fun while it lasted though,...

Should be another tourney before we switch over to HMW2, this time for G1 vs G1 only,...and let the beasties try to pick US off (same thing as before only with the tables switched)

:APPLAUSE:

There is a end tournie being worked on (though I think it's actually done by now) for the end. It's a 4 way in as far as I know, however, that doesn't mean that a bot couldn't put a bot vs con tournie/game together in the mean time.

Epic WIN.

The logs were just wiped. However, I had downloaded the full mission range approximately two hours prior. Seeing the site responsiveness slow way down I knew it was coming.

This does not mean I've totaled everything yet (work / life - it happens ya'll) but it DOES mean I have everything needed DESPITE the wipe. Word to that God-nudge to get that done. Will post again when my excel / regular expression insanity is complete.
