The Energon Pub

by **Bun-Bun** » Mon Aug 20, 2018 6:31 pm

Hey all.
I've set myself upon a fools errand to compile a complete list of all the mission names, levels, payouts, etc.

What I need though is a bit of help from all of yinz collecting all the various ones at different levels (and the different names for either a side) in the form of either copypasta or screencap like SoL did here: no-guns-no-lightsabers-no-briefcases-the-hmw-addicts-thread--t110836.php-view=unread#p1979521

Then I'll put it all together, make a nice purty list (as I tend to do) & share it here.

... And then as soon as we're close to done Ryan will get the panel working, Burn will change everything, & we'll have to start over.

***** SPOILER ALERT *****
*** If you don't want the surprise of discovering all the individual missions for yourself ruined then read no further ***

Here's a start to give you an idea of what I'm going for
Completed:

: Completed

Assumed complete:
(levels highlighted in orange haven't been confirmed)

: Assumed

Addition info still required:

: Incomplete

Why can't you just let the game have some secrets? This really pisses me off and puts me off wanting to put new missions in for people to discover, only for the excitement to be over within a few hours because of copy and pasting.

If it helps I can put a "Spoiler Alert" or "Burn Trigger Warning" at the top

Secrets & discovery is all well and good but I was thinking to do it more as a reference for those who already have moved past the "wide-eyed & innocent" phase of playing.

Added a pic to the top post to give everyone an idea of what I'm going for.
The "ID Ref" is just a mission number of that type (please include that when you submit so that we can more easily match up the sides)

To be fair, this information could be useful when the ability to create new missions is restored.

How so?

I was just thinking (I accept that I could be completely off base here) that by seeing all the mission data together, new ones could be created based on any gaps in level ranges etc, or checking to see if the base xp and energon are what they should be. Though, I am curious, at what point where the new missions added and who added them?

If I do it right you'll be able to see any near-duplicate missions that could be eliminated. Or easily see missions that need their payouts modified. Or "gaps" in mission level coverage (may just be my limited data thus far but level 2 seems to have inadequate coverage/variety)

This also all assumes your panel (when functional) doesn't just sort everything nicely for you. Given the kind of crappy interfaces you've shown in the past I would be shocked if that were the case.

But that's just it, all you're doing here is duplicating what I already see (aside from levels which will in time be fixed).

So you can see a master list but you can't add or edit it till the controls have been sorted out?

Fairy muff
Then it's only useful to us plebs without magical God access as a reference.

I can add and edit TEXT. I can't set levels etc.

Updated first post.

I really could use some assistance (especially at the really high & low levels).

Let's make a little side game out of this and see if we manage to create a complete list before Ryan can get Burn's control panel fully functional

Updated again.
(thanks to those helping!)

I also started wondering if I wasn't getting a lot of responses because people were unclear on what I needed so I made this:

When you send me info I just need the # of Bots & Cons that can join, the XP and Energon bonus for winning, The name of the mission, the levels involved (just your side as in some rare cases it's different for the other side), and it's mission ID number to allow the other sides name for that mission (because they're usually different) to be easily obtained.

I am NOT collecting all the mission texts (save some secrets, save Burn's feels)

As for the time: IF you spawned the mission AND refreshed quickly to see said mission, then you can round the wait time up to the nearest minute (common times thus far are 20, 28, 30, & 42 minutes) but do NOT add the mission length (it's always 20 Min)

Top post updated.

Nice to see that the Completed list is now longer than the Incomplete list but I still occasionally am adding more as they're found.

Thanks to all those that are helping behind the scenes!

Tried something different this time and broke out the missions that were just missing one sides level requirements and that could fairly safely assumed to be identical to the other sides.
