Based on my xp score i think i did more then 6% around the 3:22 mark.

I got bored. You healed for 30%.

Find me a (non-mechanical) animal of all 7 colours of the spectrum, plus 1 black and 1 white. Then you can have the peacock.

I will assume my own do not count.
Also assuming kills, other wise this would be a lot easier.

1: Super Goose
2: Dex-Star
3: Mahockamamayne
4: Capala
5: Flybite
6: Parasite count as Brown?
7: Mantessa
8: Solar Cat
9: Kyrogen

Well, I'm after this one

again for Helix. I had to re-evaluate the character setup and I wasn't happy with how I had him. What should I do to get this alt?

Edit: Instead of being helpful and clear, the post that previously occupied this space displayed n00bish over-eagerness to help instead of deferring to AZ.

But he might want it with different tactic. Hence why he is hunting it.

News Credits: 5 · by **Vic** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 5:53 pm

Yes, it's about tactics. Standard Helicopters, which the Springer alt is from, has a Strafe/Avoid combo. Aerial Rescue Vehicle has Strafe/Repair, which is what I want.

No worries IB, nice try though.

Vic,

20 non-aeroplane-based aerial alts please.

AZ, brown isn't technically a spectral colour, but as Indigo is pretty hard to find here I'll let it slide. Just this once.

Karma has been updated.

I wasn't sure if it would, thank ye kindly my good man.

*edit* Now that I'm home, I can pick my next alt for Desert Wind.

IB: Don't worry about it, you were right. My answer was short cause I was at school. The alt does pop up pretty regularly, and he could just wait for it to come back, but Psyke's alt hunt is all about getting alts you want for characters, be they same or different faction, without the problem of crappy tactic combos, like avoid/repair.

I really need to learn to count over repair or not find myselve, or not wind up looking at logs when my state of mind is that of Burns sig comments. Jackpot http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=105603

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Wed Nov 30, 2011 7:57 am

Ok, I'll tell you what - overrepair/kill on any tactic will count as +10 towards your total % until I am shown how to calculate it or it is proven that you did more than 10 in any one overkill action.

Sound fair?

(That's an damned nice result slip, good job!)

Calculating it is easy. You have to account for all other XP gain (so, every single hit and win bonus if applicable) and when you subtract all that, you divide what's left by the score of the level, and boom. There's your overrepair/kill. It was easy for Slip, cause he didn't have the win bonus, and only had one other attack land. It's simple, it can just be a lot of math/work. Especially in a 1-11 mission, where you might get 4 or 5 hits on people of all kinds of levels. Nevermind if you have a strafer.

There ya go slip, you have a choice, count it up or just count it as 10. Your call.

Well i figured it to be 66% as shown on the log i'm gonna call it cool on the 10 bonus.
Counting the totals of the 10 logs i saved so far i'm sitting at 281% so i'm still on pace.

Just kidding AZ. I was actually going to say something about you "saving the day again" but thought maybe it's too soon for that joke

And I really did post that without thinking about it for more than a minute. The concerns of PhD apps were weighing more heavily on my mind than the nuances of the Alt Hunt. Silly, silly me.

I've got a alt hunts piling up in my brain. I'm ready for my next mission, as there will be several to follow. :KREMZEEK:

Two things:

Looking for this alt form:

Also if I wanted to help out on some of the alt hunts for Vic, what would you like me to do so I can donate alt forms?

News Credits: 5 · by **Vic** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 11:15 am

I just need my alt's changed. I can do my hunts, but I appreciate the thought.

News Credits: 42 · by **Psychout** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 2:57 pm

Sorry for the delay.

Vic, kill me 20 con cars please. I'll update Helix when I can for you.
Anshin... I've lost track of what I've asked you to do in the past, so I'll have 20 animals.

As for donating alts, not sure what you mean, but I guess that's for you to organise with the hunter.
