The new tactics and abilities

Postby The Mysterious » Sat Jul 21, 2007 6:39 pm

Hey again, fellas and villains! 8)

I was watching the calculator list on reference page and am wondering
that are some of those new tactics/abilities implented (i.e. dogfight, charge, etc.)?
May be more tactics for a single alt-mode, but limited number of tactics per bot/con, right? :-?

So, what's the situation on them?

They're kicking in when V2 hits, which will be probably another month, six weeks time.

And our accounts are reset, right? Will our accounts be safe anyway, beside reset?

What we've been told will be reset are our XP, Energon, factions, and possibly the alt modes. Character names and bios will remain in place, though it's a good idea to back those up anyway, just in case.

If you don't use multi-account, than yes.

Should be, should be.

I'd be tempted to make a backup copy of any bio's you've written for your bots but most of us do that kinda thing already.

Oh Gee! Thundy beat me too it!

Weapon functions

Postby The Mysterious » Sat Jul 21, 2007 8:01 pm

Do the weapons have any kind of special function in battles?
I think they should, like air-to-air hit only bots/cons that have alt-mode that can fly, same goes for underwater-surface-air weapons and etc. with bonus damage to certain alt-modes. Do they have such system? I really would suggest that to the host, mods and other HQ here. Will these be in V2? Consideration possible? :-?

It should, but with poor accuracy.
