Been away from the game awhile...

Getting back into the game having been less than a regular player since the 2nd big oops...ya know thinking why start over when we'll just be resetting for V2...anyway, been checking some of the threads, sounds like there's been some comings and goings but not a lot of permanent "progress" toward V2 and the status quo is going to be around for awhile yet. Not meant to be a criticism or anything negative, just an observation.

Anyway, I was wondering 2 things:

1.) Is there still a regular alt-mode rotation, or is it whenever some one remembers to do so?

2.) Have there been changes to the stats in how they effect your performance? Curious as I'm seeing people actually using "Rank" when back in my day it was just for the different armors and as only one armor really worked rank was almost always the last stat to get raised.

Rotation runs every three days, and rotated today. so in less than 72 it will again. As for the other question, I'm not sure.

That's definitely a big change! It used to be fortnightly, if that.

Either that or all the 'cons except for Burn have surrendered.

Been a bunch of missions with no opposition.

Burn doesn't understand the meaning of the word surrender.

Burn's also too lazy to look it up.

Hey all, I've also been away from the game for quite sometime, and I recenyly returned and I have a few questions about the alt-routations.


1. Does the alt rotation start at 12 am PST or some other time?

2. If I calcuated Sustains time of post right, the next rotation is tomorrow? 10-25-2010.

3. How long do alts stay during the rotation, I noticed that some of the alts are there only for a few minutes. I found this out when I went to change an alt mode, and it was there the hour before, then gone the next. This happen to 2 of the alts I attemted to select.


-Thanks in advance for the help.

Should be tomorrow yes, though time wise I don't. Really I don't change my alts enough to know.

They is an alt listing of what is on your sides database, and there is what is currently in the rotation. Be mindful which list you are looking at when checking for availability.
