what? where'd 42 come from?

Mission results in the last 24 hours:
Decepticons 558/476 Autobots

that's 1034 missions

476/1034=0.46 give ore take some DP

so 46% win ratio for the bots, a whole 4% of the theoretical 50%, not 8%

And continuing...

Decepticons 538 - 496 Autobots

Narrowing the gap there, but you bots still have a long way to go :-P

and tonight its Autobots 436 709 Decepticons


So that means autobots are clinging on at 38% and the cons are rocking us at 62% that seems just a BIT unbalanced!

Careful, Prowl, one thing at a time. I'm certain we'll get to the bottom of this conundrum after the other things are handled.

I don't know about you guys but my lvl. 2 cons are getting their chassis handed to them. If I'm not getting outnumbered I'm getting a Dol, BB, or PPP shoved up my tail end repeatedly. And cursory glances at the opposing bots reveal I'm superior stat wise. It still irks me that all you need to beat a well thought out bot' is to just dump everything into speed and courage and carry one of the 3 cracked weapons. :BOOM:

But I digress. More related to this topic I'm being routinely outnumbered at all times of the day. So this lack of autobots must be a high lvl. thing. :-B

I don't see how this victory imbalance in favor of the 'cons can be precise. My team has been getting absolutely raped in battles they should easily win for well over a week now.

In fact, my top performer two weeks ago (level 1) who regularly took top spot on missions is lucky to score a single point in a match. In fact, he's more likely to roll a donut on a mission than to score a single point.

My mission win percentage from 74% to 42% over the past week. I regularly lose level 0-1 missions when my team has more level 1s than the bots. I mean, I've just been getting consistently murdered no matter what mission I jump in or what transformer I use.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Postby Mighty Scorponok » Fri Apr 27, 2007 9:45 pm

Yeah I noticed that too. But it might be basically cause once you get like close to next upgrade (no matter what point you are going for) the game makes it harder for you to get that point (which atthat time it makes low level bots (on each side of the war) make more energon than you. With a high level bots that makes it even more depressing.

When I first started playing the Autobots dominatied the missions most often while the Decepticons controled the arena. Many players have leveled up, and or left the game, things like that do make a difference. I am sure that with the influx of new players that the lower leveled missons will start to impact that score and perhaps change it.

The imbalance I think is mostly coming from the fact that there are more higher level cons than higher level bots, but more lower level bots than lower level cons (we're talking currently active, not total existing). The low level bots are filling up all the lower level missions, and then overflowing into the 1-3, 2-3, 2-4, and 3-5 missions. Because the Cons have more higher levels than lower levels, they're socking all high level bots into those same missions. Meaning that the bots get outleveled and lose most of the time. That's where the significant Con edge is at the moment.

Of course, if the lower level bots would just wait 5 minutes for more low-level missions to open rather than being lazy and joining missions where they'll get creamed, we'd be able to at least even the playing field, but I digress.
