The Energon Pub

Heh, no worries, I figured why they were there and every now and then I'll get a couple of thousand off them. Though perhaps not quite as often as some big purple bar steward will put me down with a fusion cannon or a magnus hammer right out the gate.

Just having a moan while I wait for CR!

So...

Those came about because at the time we were looking for a way to give low level bots a chance to scratch the big boys for some fast XP so they could level up
At the time we had almost exclusively high-level established players and just a handful of struggling low levels on one side or the other (i don't recall the specifics anymore) that were getting frustrated about not having anyone to fight or any way of getting larger amounts of XP.

I wrote the 2 high-level v low level swarm missions to fix that after a lot of compromise between Burn and input from the players around then. It was far from perfect but it had a reason to exist back then.

lol I don't miss those missions. I never thought the level 10 'Cons were worth the effort--the xp gained, if you had a solid level 4 build, just not that great. The level 11 'Cons, on the other hand? They were always worth fighting. If you were able to land a few hits (or better yet ram or strafe them), the xp could be amazing.

When I've been the lone high level in those, the most low level 'Cons I've come across in them was 4.

Ho-hum, the low level grind. If it's not 250-300xp missions won by default (are there any low level Cons out there?), it's this bloody thing:

The idea of pitting 20 L0-4 bots vs 1 L11 con is interesting enough... but are there even 20 L0-4 Autobot players in the game these days? Let alone all online at the same time?

Mumble mumble moan moan, etc.
