If it disappears before the end, you've been slagged in the mission.

i think they're talking about two seperate issues.

jetfire might be talking about the more common, i thought was fixed/was in the process of being fixed "my mini con is gone before the mission ends which means i lost already issue". or did you come out not locked in the mission and lost the mini con? or were you in fact slagged?

np is talking about coming out of a mission without a mini con the bot came in with and was not locked. if no one else is having this issue, are you sure the mini con was equipped before going into the mission or you presumed it was there or forgot you had lost it/unequipped it earlier?

I understand that, and I was refering to Jetfire's statement.

I assumed Nem to be smart enough to tell that.

I know from experience that Nem is pretty smart though.

this isnt about intelligence, people make mistakes or leave out information once in a while. example, in the mission before that one

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=171796

04:13 Natimus Prime hits Nemesis Prime with a Laser Pistol. Nemesis Prime has gone into stasis lock and Rotiron has been destroyed!

could that have been the liftor mini con? if it was, it was destroyed before the mission in question. of course if it wasn't and a new one was put on prior to the mission and was lost during the mission is a real issue.

also in the mission after the one in question

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=172035

3:02 Mercer transforms into a Jet and strafes Nemesis Prime. Nemesis Prime has gone into stasis lock and Tallgeese has been destroyed!

that could have been a new mini con or maybe even the one that was thought to be lost. i dont know, the mission logs dont report on surviving minicons so np would have to give more information. unless more people are having this issue, a human error seems more likley. of course it is possible that it is a coding error and hopefully, if it is, it is being looked into and if it happens to anyone else theyll report it.

thank you crazyfists for your insight
i swore i had re-purchased/re-equied 'Tallgeese' (the Liftor minicon - Rotiron is "Sparkler") prior to entering that mission

.. im was just rying to report a bug, if there was one - Os would know and/or just making sure the rules didnt change and i hadnt taken knotice ..

and if anyone cares ... my minicon names are pretty consistant since they are now part of my team

Sparkler = Rotiron, Torch
Jogger = Skidz, Blackout
Liftor = Heavyarms, Tallgeese
Defector = Sandrock, XXXG-00W0
Charger = Deathscythe
(i'll update this list in my team bio)

all is good ... the battle goes on ^^

dont forget to also check the bug thread.

http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewto ... t=106&sid=

if it happens to someone else im sure they would post here or there about it. ive made the same mistake about not putting minicons back on after ive lost them, as well as putting back weapons after resetting.

same here

Guys, guess what? I was slagged :-x :lol: I actually like that feature, it makes it seem like the battle is ongoing and you know you died even before the mission ended. Thanks Crazy and Absolute :lol: 8)

then you lose them. name changing doesn't prevent loss. you

i actually dislike this. you shouldn't know what happens in a mission until you get the log back. it makes the 20 min wait almost pointless.
