Rant on Alt Mode Rotator

Postby Pyro Nosra » Sun May 27, 2007 1:04 am

Not that anyone cares - but my wife thinks I'm nuts about getting steamed about "that stupid game" (I know ... blasphemy!).

My namesake Pyro Nosra has been a Fire Truck since conception on April 2004. I have never changed it up or experimented, only reseting when getting armor upgrades ... like tonight. Leveling up to Lvl 7 rank to try out some Magnetic Armour, do the reset so it does not double the install time ... and no $#@ $#! #@!%$! Fire Truck alt mode for on the 'Con list!

Sure there some new alts, but nothing really striking my fancy ... and some of the ones that I always thought were lame are still there.

:-x

Soooooo basically you neglected to check the alt mode list BEFORE resetting and it's the rotater's fault?

Your wife's right, you're nuts. :P

Sorry, you'll just have to wait until that one becomes available. Besides, it's better waiting for someone to manually change alts every blue moon.

Besides, the Fire truck you want is common, so it'll be around in a few weeks.

I'll admit the con alts this rotation are truely uninspiring, but that is the price we pay for having a rotation, they aint always gonna be good ones.

Patience, it'll be alright.

Im just damn glad we HAVE a working rotator at long last.

As soon as I get done coding what I like to call the "Neural Network", the rotator will read each of your minds while you are asleep and make each rotation's results just for you.

Until then it is just going to rotate. :P

PS...Pyro- You got a 100% strafe on me twice last year. Karma sucks sometimes. :lol:

yeah always check the available alts before resting.
You really have noone to blame but yourself there
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

i thought i'd put in my own rant here so we don't have 2 alt-mode rant threads.

i was SO hoping to get perceptor to be a new type of repair-only alt, but he's placed in the same lowly catagory as a weapon ( :P )! much to insulting for perceptor's intelligence. i know not many people (maybe i'm the only one?) would play with and alt-mode that can ONLY repair for it's tatic, but i would, and it's the only alt/tatic combination that doesn't exist (i think). please make a new type of repair-only alt with perceptor in it :PRAY:

sorry bub, I'm a medic fan but i can tell you this never likely to happen, though i agree perceptor should have repair, and strafe. I know you hate your bots not having upgrades in each stat, but really tactics too?

So it's every two weeks, right?

When was the last rotation, so I can make a schedule?

Yeah, a Battle Station classification for him would make sense.

Of course, when we get Triple Changers, we could throw in Perceptor's tank alt as an option...

*dons flame retardent pantaloons*

Just a thought, but why was it decided that we cant access any and all alts created at all times?

a good question, one i can't answer. though i feel having access to all the alts would make things a bot to easy, theirs something about having a non-resettable alt that just makes the game more exciting for me.

Well if all alts were available, it wouldn't be so easy to keep you guys entertained at times :P
