For those of you who don't care for what I just observed I'm posting a modified character bio of my namesake. When you read the beginning part of it you'll understand whats got me ticked off about the alt hunt. And it's not the hunt itself but how some players are taking the fun out of it.

Blackstreak Prime

Interesting fact: I actully concidered giving double points to kills that were made by alt hunt targets on alt hunt targets.

I eventully decided not to, cuase all thouse that refused to reset tiers into alt hunt targets would whinge that they guys WITH targets had an unfair adavantage....

(such is HMW)

I can understand that. I'm reformatting my namesake because I'm not afraid of getting hunted down. I might die alot but the intention is to make a point. It is unsportsmanlike to change an alt from a target to a non-target. This reduces the chances for the opponent to a fair victory. I know of one player who did this all ready and several others know about it.

[Shadowblade_DW]

Again DW has a tip for con hunters. A target alt awaits killing here. Not for the timid as it is a lvl 3.

[sniper_samurai]

In light of what happened last night is the alt hunt going to continue, as if im not mistaken there are now no classics prime alts as it was added with the rotator.

I fully intend to continue the hunt.

I will look for a repalcment for Classics Prime, hopefully it will be a valid prime/convoy alt, but I cant promise.

How often are you updating the learderboard?

[Redimus]

How often are you updating the learderboard?

As often as i can.

I would have done it by now, but sorting out my team, plus my net randomly slowing down to a crawl every half hour has slowed me down.

As it happens, I've gotten as far as your claims, so I wont be long now.

URGENT REQUEST

Can anybody who notices any other alt hunt alts that arnt there anymore warn me ASAP.

And why is it, the one that isnt in use now was the one EVERY con killed last night?

It seems Grimlock fancies himself as leader of the Autobots again...

DECEPTICONS, KILL GRIMLOCK!

New target: G1 Grimlock.

Please note, if Classics Prime should crop up again, he is now no longer a valid target.

So, the Classics Prime trophies that we made till the (how should we say it? Unicron's attack? (Marvel G1)) reset, are valid trophies?

Yes, I wouldnt dream of disregarding those, every con would be hunting me down, lol.

Seriously, yeah, all existing claims on cl prime count, new ones dont.

[sniper_samurai]

Holy shiznit, things are starting to pick up after going to crap earlier. All my lvl 5s are back on lvl 5(still missing some stats and I won't get to lvl 6 before the reset like I hoped), I've now got a high lvl3 instead of a low lvl4 to kick ass, but am still missing my mid lvl2 con(currently mid-high lvl1).

And now I've just got 3 alt hunt kills within minutes of each other

[Kaijubot]

I think I've seen 2 suitable targets all day so far (both of which are whichever tank is standing in for Armada Megs). And those both ended up winning the missions.

It's a craper version of hardhead Kaij.

Im offcially fed up.
My team went from very god thank you very much (with 2 fresh new lvl 6s to boot) to rather crap.... grrr.

[Chaoslock]

Well, I rotated Cannonflame (Arm. Megatron alt.) the whole day.

[sniper_samurai]

Well, I rotated Cannonflame (Arm. Megatron alt.) the whole day.

Same here with sniper samurai(G1 Galvatron) and megaplex(G1 Megatron). I'm suprised that no ine has claimed either of them yet dspite having a bit of a bad run over the past few days.

[Kaijubot]

Well, I rotated Cannonflame (Arm. Megatron alt.) the whole day.

I got him last night. Not seem him again yet. I need to check my scoresheet, because I suspect one of the con alts may have disappeared...

I'll do that now.

[Dragonslayer]

-Maximus Prime- is still eligible, but Blazer Prime isn't now that he's gone from Cybertron Prime to RID Prime altmode-wise.

[Kaijubot]

Well, just checked and OptimusPrive's Draconis Alpha was a valid alt when I stasis locked him but following the glitch his alt has reverted to a G1 Grimlock (despite being a 'con). Don't know if this applies to the T-rex alt in general or just this character.

Don't worry too much as the mission log shows the charachters with the alt mode that they had during that mission and not the alt they have currently.

I know, I'm more concerned with whether or not there's any more of that alt mode still out there. We've lost one of the Prime alts due this glitch already.

Yeah. There are only 4 active Beast Megs alts http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/high.php?image_id=349

Dear god, I hope no more Primes have disapeared, I was pretty much out of sencible options when I chose Grimlock...

Last I checked RiD Prime has ONE person using it... not the best alt for a hunt, lol.

[Chaoslock]

The lack of shown hunted alts could be considered because that the hi-score page don't show every HMW player yet, it uploads very slowly.

[Kaijubot]

5 T-rexes doesn't exactly sound like a brilliant ammount for hunting.

I'm so glad I decided to postpone the Safari Hunt. I'm gonna have to recheck everyone's teams.
