Where is the promised Golden Mod Panel of Salvation? I thought we were supposed to get new missions for the low level guys a week ago. 0, 0-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2 missions preferably.

I'm kinda tired of thisbeing the situation up to now. I would like some fair fights more than once or twice a day. :evil:

Ask your team mates for backup. Co-ordinate together so you can back each other up. Communicate. Squad up. Simple as that.

OS is working on it. He has a lot on his plate at the moment and fixing it may be taking more time than he thought. Have patience

That is like going to the farm, milking the cow, churning the milk, processing it, waiting for it to get cold then bringing home a stick of butter.

What I'm asking for is for them to open the supermarket.

Besides everyone else in the AWC/ASF is in a different time zone now that Den-O's gone. They show up at the beginning and end of my play hours.

Sounds like you need to hit up the members of your faction that aren't in your clique then. You notice all those players that show up in missions with you? You can contact them via PM. It's not guaranteed they'll answer but it's worth the effort. I mean look at us Predacons. We have a quarter of your available players and we've mustered ourselves up into an indomitable fighting force.

What I'm looking for is a preexisting and previously promised solution that conveniently kills two birds with one stone. It gives our ENDLESS (seriously, every day there's 2-3 team names I've never seen before in my mission) new recruits worthwhile opposition instead of getting trampled by the waves of L2s, while leaving us able to meet the enemy on equal (level) footing.

There are just too many low level and casual autobots to talk to, much less direct away from missions. I'm not the kind of guy who tells people how to play their game and boss around. If someone wants to play HMW at a more 'serious' level, they're more than welcome to state so and visit offsite HQ.

This is a sweeping and extremely effective solution.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be those level bracket missions. What I'm saying is to sit tight because the staff said the one who's doing the fixing is busy. So for the mean time co-ordinate to overcome your difficulty. Because, and I can't stress this enough, it's never a bad idea to reach out to your team mates and ask for help.

Some people are simply not in the position to do that and as such any advice in the line of "get organized" is void.

Really, you're complaining about that mission?? You got a nice xp/energon haul there. You do however, have a case here.

It's also worth remembering that we are lucky that OS is even willing to to the control panel for this version, concidering he's decided to freze the rest of the code so he can work on the next version.

And frankly, I spent all of last night fighting the autobots virtully singlehandedly. And I got lots of xp. Yeah, I died, a lot. But the XP was gooooooooooood.

Granted, our sweet boob nectar isn't as high protein ounce for ounce as Decepticons or Predacons, but there is a never ending supply of it and is Melamine-13 free! 8-}

Either add them to foes and all their posts are ignored. Or we could make up a drinking game. Everytime an Autobot posts a joke that isn't funny take a drink/shot. Everytime they post something that makes no damn sense take two. Hammered in no time.

I fear that bottle of vodka over there will be short lived should we carry out this particular drinking game...

Yeah, I was really disappointed with that one. :sad:

Oh well, there's only one thing to do in these cases...

I for one don't really see an issue with any of the missions posted in this thread (and my team is in most of them). Making additional missions for lower levels doesn't really help. Over all the level 0's probably even themselves out to about what they would average in 0-1 missions anyway, some misions they suck, some missions they do well. As someone once put it "Some times the Random Number Generator gets you (trust me i'm on the wrong end of it more than i'd like), and sometimes you get it".

The Cons just have a boatload of active players, the Bots don't. Just have to live with it. Besides, it just leaves more of them to strafe.

*pats tenrak on the head and gives him a cookie*

Good! You lot are finally starting to devise counter strategies! Excellent. Maybe when I take over and strong arm my way into Autobot Emperor of Destruction I'll have an easier go at it.

Of course just to be fair I'll be putting myself on the market as a free agent come Version 2... :twisted:
