What do you think?

that I have to wait for cosmos'alt to rotate in?

We need to have every autobot team that has reached level 2 to have a repair character on their team. Just one thats all we need. How can we organize this?

you could always pm, the top 100 or 200 bots that looks level 2 and ask for a repairer?

Fri Feb 13, 2009 7:08 pm

Thats good. Lets figure out a good repair altmode then send out the mass pm.

Ratchet is not doing well anymore so I am going to reconfigure my light assult vehicle to a air rescue vehicle and see how that works. The focus will be more on stafe but I hope to see good results out of the repair.

I'll be upping Randy's END to 3 this week so you can suckle from the warm teat of xp.

I feel like changing one of my 3's to a Repairer, maybe Ruri since even with 4 FP, 6 CRG and 7 Strafe I'm not terribly impressed with A)how often she strafes, B)how much damage she does when she strafes and C)her scores overall.

see thats the thing your firepower isn't equivalent to your strafe, because if firepower is the feeder to strafe, surely u need greater or equal to firepower

the thing that gets me is does strength, increase firepower/skill damage?

or only ram

I've heard that STR raises Strafe dmg but just a bit.

I was going to reset one of my under preforming rammers anyway so I will help out. Here is how I distributed his Xp,

4 int
5 repair
2 courage
3 speed
2 avoid
Weapon: Null Ray Rifle

Thats 1 more bot that can help repair everyone.

News Credits: 8 · Sat Feb 14, 2009 3:04 pm

i've found the best use of this tactic is when, u deploy ur repair bot in conjunction to a rammer or significantly higer bot (i.e a bot that deals damage)

look out for missions with conjurous or ROS, or any bot that looks like they do damage instead of avoid

Looks like my gamble paid off. I repaired 3 bots and actually survived a mission for the first time in 2 days. And I got decent Xp!

Success!!!

Thanks for jumping on board! Good job on your first mission and lets hope it continues.

Hope this is still correct for this version of the game. Should help out if it is.

Repair
frequency= ([repair] x 3) / 100
Repair% = RANDOM[19~33] x [1+(Int x 0.1)] / [2-(End x 0.1)]

So I reset Ratchet and he has survived all three matchs with decent xp but not repairing much. I think I have only seen a couple so I will need to put more in intel.

Thanks Evolution Prime for the equation :-B

I cant wait to see the results of Cosmos

Hrrgrngh... I still can't decide which of my 3s to turn into a Repairbot. Maybe they should just stick tho what they do best - dishing out enormous quantities of asswhup. :-?

Wed Feb 18, 2009 1:15 pm

Ratchet is doing well in the xp field but not repairing as much as I would like him to do.

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... n_id=41019

That’s a bummer Cosmos is not performing in the xp department but his repairs are great. Just a suggestion but what do you think of this setup.

Int: 3
Spd: 6
End: 1
Crg: 2
Frp: 3

Rpr: 5
Str: 3

I found that just 3 Firepower and 3 Strafe can produce great results.

We also don’t have to have these characters to be super repair bots but just have a decent repair and a hard punch or strafe as well.

Randall: Any of your help would be great. You don’t have to create a bot that just focuses on repair as I said up top but just something to help us out in the missions.

EveryBody was fully repaired thanks to Cosmos and RedAlert,
although it was only 1 con it does show that it works!

Wed Feb 18, 2009 3:18 pm

actually it was thanks to RA, Cosmos is just a fat lazy bastard. basically.. a lot like me.. :sad:

Wed Feb 18, 2009 3:48 pm

sounds like baby-with-a-gun needs to teach Cosmos a thing or 2... B-)

Here's one for all you Repair fans.

Well, finally made a Repair gal.

Quite disappointing. I hope this is Reset Jinx-itis or something.

Mission 2 -

I like it! Not TOO much, but this shows potential.

Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:18 am

Yeah Cosmos is constant in his scores but not to great. I remember after the first reset he scored a couple of 1300+ missions (that was BEFORE the new mission brackets) but after that he slumped.

He had some fair games recently but still seems to be one of the first to die because of his lack of.. well..

this example. we outnumber the preds and Cosmos is so busy touching Ruri's (albeit scorched) private parts that he forgets to fight!
Why did I give him Intelligence?
