There are quite a few people here that have been with the game non-stop since the day it opened, some here perhaps since the entire site itself was in its infancy. Personally I've stepped away from the game for probably two and a half years total, but I was here when it started and did have a reasonably powerful team when it crashed.

The reset was without warning so people couldn't save bios or have even a final tournament to end the game right, or take pics of where your team was after their last fight.

Its not like the group is standing up and screaming hey I want my exp, armor, weaponry, bios, and logs returned.

You know the stuff that would take the poor programmer tons of time to do, and most likely would be completely impossible.

No they are asking if it would be possible just to speed up a normal event in the game so they can get a few alts that would make this whole reset just a little more palitable for them. Honestly its probably the smallest thing that could be asked for.

Its also probably something that can be done in one or two key strokes.

Does it effect the game and give people a unfair advantage over others no, Does it hurt anyone in even the slightest way...no, unless you get off on knowing that some player is using a alt that they completely hate because they don't really have a better option.

The only thing that it really does is make some of the players that have dedicated a lot of time to this game over the past five years just a little happier.

So even if it is trivia and just a small single color picture if increasing the speed of the rotation till the entire list has been cycled through makes people happy where is the harm in that.

Also some of the alts in the list aren't completely trademarked figures, but ones that people have actually spent weeks on making. I know if either of my customs were non-Decepticon alts I would be very upset.

This would be more a minor reward for those that have stuck around in spite of this reset

You should save your energy for a fight that really means something.

Well, this is getting a bit lively.

We will rotate the alts once every 3 days until they rotate through.

1 day is not fair to everyone because I'm sure people will miss some with it going that quick but with a 3 day rotation there will be no excuses like "I have no computer on the weekend" or "I was out of town".

After the 3 day rotations we will go to once a week.

Give me a week to set this up. I'm still going through a laundry list since the crash and honestly, I need a day or two off from all this.

Sounds good.
Also sounds like someone needs more hands on deck... ;;)

I'm not entirely certain I trust what you've been doing with your hand when we're not looking.

At least wash them first.

You know, I'm not even too sure where they've been. I probably should go wash them.

Thanks OS!

I agree with the concept of speeding it up for a time but not permanently. I voted no because I would rather see it not speed up then it increased permanently to once a week.

by **nightelfcrawler** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 10:10 am

I agree with some of the others, speeding up would be great for a short-term , but not for the long-haul

My thoughts exactly.

Also, MKALL, would you please make sure the cons have a Soundwave Tape deck alt? The bots have it and it doesn't show up as a con alt on the "complete" alts page. Thanks!

Can someone post a link to all the alts the Cons will be getting (as well as the other factions).

Thanks. :grin:

It changes to show your faction. Now, if you're having profile issues, then you'll see thwe wrong one. What about the full table of them all?

by **Tammuz** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 4:51 pm

the full table doesn't exist.

there's the image folder but not all of them are actual alts.

If possibile OS, could you let us know the day before the first rotation so we can get everything we want from the current rotation? thanks!

The current rotation has been up for about a week, everyone is either a level 0 or a low level 1, what could they possibly want from the current rotation? I mean it isn't like you are going to be resetting for a major armor upgrade.

I'd like to know when the new one is going in just so I don't miss it.

News Credits: 7 · by **Chaoslock** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 8:03 am

I voted yes for the permanent weekly rotation, well, I can wait for a few weeks for the alts I want (namely: the Interceptor, the separatist rocket tank, and the WW Ravage alts).

There may be some characters that have a particular alt simply for the beginning of the round. Case in Point, my Galvatron is currently a Cassette Condor....Obviously, he's not going to remain that way and I don't wanna miss Galv's Canon if it leaves the rotation.
