Levels will still be based on # of upgrades

In that case, I certainly hope the stats be better balanced so that players with Level Three characters with 3million XP won't be doing well at that level. I know that's been a major complaint across the boards with the current system.

Hmmm, I'll have to ask OS on that one. With all the new ground/sea/air based tactics multichangers could be quite handy at times. I'll get back to you on this one.

Cheers cause I think Triple changers could be like heros like ,
' oh no im up against 6 bots with two cons backin me up!'
Suddenly
POW!!
'A triple Changer Awesome'
POW!! BANG!! OOOFFFF!! CRUNCH!! BLAST!!!
'Wow that triple changer saved the day!'

As of right now, no. However I personally wouldn't mind switching some of the alts for newer versions.

with for example.

eew i like my old scavenger.

anyway why make them choose? just have both.


i'll take any spaces on the roster anyone doesn't want.

Glad Ransom and I aren't the only ones thinking that.

I'd like to too, but I don't think we'll see them right at release time, maybe a few months in once all other things get hammered out. However the number of active bots should always be half of the maximum possible, so if there 20 mechs, there will be 10 active, 24 & 12 etc.

Too bad; getting to have all my 'Bots active was actually pretty cool.

Since my album is private, here is the summary I gave the image: Edited version of screenshot taken on 2/11/2006. Displays the "active TF" glitch in action.

Will there be any way to select a TF's combat style between melee or ranged besides just setting the stats appropriately? Like is there something I can do to make my TF back off until his weapons recharge or just only his fire weapon if it has no recharge at all?

I agree!
But I do still think we need alot more alt mode options, instead of less/altered ones.

But I also agree with the idea of there being some [new] alt looks also.
I just think we should be able to pick the new or old ones.... to kinda make it "look" like we have diff bots. Then after awhile into v2.0 just remove the old one from (player alt mode choice) an keep the new ones.
That way those of us who have played since before the version change would be able to have something to kinda show off... like vet scars or somethin... lol




...{([IF])} you do decide to add some {([MORE])} alt modes... the Decepticons NEED the evil guardian class robots/omega supreme base alt mode for a choice.

in this game you're TF will always use his weapons if it's recharged, so will only fire his weapon if it's no recharge, he won't use punchs or kicks.

Tactics take priority over weapon attacks, weapon attacks take priority over unarmed attacks.


though it is a good suggestion that a mech waiting for it's weapon to recharge would be a less attractive target(as he is less of a threat) than the one who's ready to line your lungs with lead. i really need to talk to OS about a gambit system.

Will there be/what might be the starting budget?

What about those of us who'll be at Botcon when game is starting?

STOP STOP!!
you're ruining it for me but please go on

Whoops double posted

I'm a n00b here and so far this is a pretty interesting game. I'm looking forward to the upcoming changes

Aside from wishing for multichangers, how about the possibility of gestalts, where transformers from different teams of the same faction may have the option to combine (could possibly be a tactic)?

With kind regards,

And I'm not the first nor last to say no.

Many Transformers in the past (and no doubt in the future) carried more than one weapon; the original Cheetor had two guns (he was even shown using both in the series, though never at the same time), Blitzwing had a gun and a sword, and even Prime had his Laser Cannon and an energy ax. Are our characters going to be able to carry more than one weapon?

If so, what will be the limitations?

No multiple weapons at first. The main goals with weapons in the initial release are going to be balance and functionality.

How bots can use multiple weapons will come after all the weapons actually work.

It would seem that a secondary weapon should be more like an unlockable tactic than something you purchase if you ask me.

Could also be limited by how much FRP a bot has. For example, using the current weapons chart, a bot with 2FRP could weild a Dol Rifle OR two Acid Rays, but not a Dol and Acid Rays. 'Course, there'd have to be a limit to the total number of weapons a bot could carry, so we don't have bots with 10FRP carrying around 10 disruptor rifles.

What about people that discover this game a week after V2 premeires? A Month? A Year?

You will have to play catch up.

It is a cold, hard answer but we can't reset every time somebody joins the game.

And if things go well, this game will never reset again after this time.

Let's please try to keep new ideas and idea discussion out of this thread. I would like this to be just a quick question/answer thread. Feel free to elaborate on anything in a new thread.

So in Version 2 is it going to be the same old level up sytem or is there going to be a revision on that? Also will there be a period of time where they have Movie themed missioned to go along with the upcoming movie?

That's not what I meant. And then we never answered the other question.

And cause I can't find my asking, I'll have to ask again. What was to happen to team info?

Flashwave wrote: What was to happen to team info?

It depends on what you mean by "Team Info". If you mean the character bios and team bios, you get to keep those. The performance info will be reset. It has not been confirmed that there will be a "Hall of Fame" type page where you can view your "info" after the reset.

Sky Shark wrote:So in Version 2 is it going to be the same old level up sytem or is there going to be a revision on that?

With the 3 tactics per mech, there's a possibility that there will require an extre one or two point needed to reach the next level,but that's still under discussion.

Also will there be a period of time where they have Movie themed missioned to go along with the upcoming movie?

That'd be neat, but I'm not sure yet
