Missing Bot Modes

Weapon: Twin Swords
Has OS got rid of the bot modes? Because I couldn't find them when I reset my cons, but on the profile page it says they are all protoform types

Hmmm - OS was turning 'bot modes off at some point, however, I still have mine. Perhaps its only been turned off for newly formatted characters?

I imagine he's only in the process and they'll be removed from all characters shortly.

Impression I got was that it's due to the "nigh-invulnerable defense" bug in the Computational Type robot modes.

i don't think you would have to reset they could just remove them and the xp used could get thrown back into your total xp.

Bot modes are currently unavailable when you reset or upgrade a character. When the bots who are currently using them will loose them is anyone's guess (probably later this week).

The exp <i>does</i> come back once you reset, but to Op007; some of us have alt modes that are rare / not in the current rotation / retired, and we'd like to hang on to them for at least the rest of V1.

I've got a choice, let that exp sit there unused, or reset everyone and loose just about every single alt I have right now. Decisions, decisions... :-(

I'm not setting my rares, I may never get them again.

Plus it's good bragging rights, because you're operating at a handicap 8)

Pretty much. Though I do hope that bot modes get added back in when the bugs get worked out. I needed to reformat my team anyway. So no big deal for me at least.

I dont mind the Bot modes vanishing, mine went poof sometime today, but like the others I'd like to get that EXP back without having to reset all of my characters.
Not that they have rare forms but I'm attached to them and I guess I'm just lazy.
It has begun, let the parts fall from the sky.

Well I don't see my bot modes anymore, but I don't see my XP back either. I think I spent about 2-3M XP to get my bot modes up to 10. I'm wondering where that XP went... :-?
