Weapon: Sky-Boom Shield
I hope it's just a display error, but I think the game just ate my Fusion-Powered Photon Rifle attatched to one of my characters. This thing cost me a lot of money, and more than that it was the weapon I had in mind when I first made this Transformer. But in any case, would there be a way to have the weapon recovered or am I screwed?

Nevermind, it shows up on the character page when he's in mission. The weapon slot is not displaying correctly when you have the option to equip/unequip the slot. It only appears to be this one transformer though, weird... :-?

Was that character temporarily deleted in the last "woops"?

Lost and recreated characters from the fallback have had a lor of weapons glitches. Just Pm Omega Sentinel if it becomes problematic.

Has the character lost xp in the whoops, as they might not have the stats to wield the weapon. If so you can re-upgrade and it will re-equip.

There's more info here: http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewto ... =7466&sid=

Failing that PM Omega.

No, all xp is accounted for. The weapon slot is just not showing the weapon when it is clickable.

a few weeks ago there was a database crash, and the mosst recent backup was from febuary, unfortunately this meant that all the character ID no. created between febuary and the crash would be created again by new players, the game's got the bios for character no.1110110 from before crash, but becuase that characters owner has left the game since febuary they haven't recreated that character, and someone else, you in this case has, you end up getting bits of information from the old character ID no 1110110 in the new characters info.

Not a bug fix, but still....

Not sure if we're still doing grammar fixes, but the text for the Save Spanner mission has an error in it. It reads

"Join Perceptor and I as we gather a group of Autobot rebels to save SPANNER!"

It should read "Join Perceptor and me as we gather a group of Autobot rebels to save SPANNER!"

If you nominate a bot for one mission but then opt to put it in another mission (all before pressing the join missions button) it's not removing the bot from the first mission you selected.

I find that it does that on some computers but not all of them. It was a real pain when I would play out of the computer labs on campus, but haven't had any trouble with the four or five domestic computers I've used since.

If you click on the mission, you will get the rankings of the bots/cons however. But yeah, mission logs seem to be wiped or fried.

Mission logs get wiped, generally everytime the servers start showing the strain, and they have, our alexa reach has TRIPLED over the past month, and we've accumulated 150 thousand logs since the last wipe.

hopefully when OS gets back online(probably tomorrow) he can help sort this crap out.

I have found that Clearing your cache and cookies does help with the errors.

The mission logs were wiped by Seibs this weekend because the table was so huge it was slowing the server down. We are not able to store all the logs indefinitely and I'm thinking about purging them every 30 days or so.

I'm all for it because it would make my life easier. I'm just not sure if anyone cares about the logs being wiped that often.

To be honest, a week is usually good enough for everything. The only time I need a log for more than a day was to verify my 100% strafe, and even that was only two days or something. Two weeks is probably more than enough time.
