Probably just have to wait for Glyph to update this (though I thought it would have been done when the new alts were added)

Hey, he's just trying to make his job a little easier.

....After all, the blood would be SO hard to clean up if they let us all kill each other. :P

Though the Pay per View value alone... :P

just kidding, (you hope). Glyph hasn't asked us for any of that extra data, so I'm not sure if he plans on expanding the chart or not.

Small clarification question.

The alt rotate, is that the rotation happens on the 29th or the twenty-ninth is the last day before it and the rotation itself happens on the 30th?

Having just reset a character to get in on the last minute reformatting extravaganza, the Alt modes listed in Santa's sack are no longer available, and it's still before midnight even here in Eastern Standard Time.

Grr arg.

They weren't even available before Midnight EST yesterday. (This is why Topcrush is an Ambulance now. I wanted to reset her to the Cybertron Scourge alt, but nooooo...)

The new alts will be rotated in when the altmode page from the registry gets updated :P

Sheesh, a week ago you guys get new alts and now you want more? Already bored are we?

Yep ,the two salient points are:
  1. I'll rotate the alts ASAP, by which I really do mean 'as soon as I'm able to do so' rather than 'in five minutes' or 'when I can be bothered'. The script will normally run at 0100 CST on Mondays, but I didn't turn it on this week as I'm not quite ready yet and I've been a little busy with a forum crash and stuff like that.
  2. You'll know when the alts have been rotated because your altmode list will be different.

So why can't I use certain alt modes? Im trying to use the Ramble/Scrapmetal alt but I keep getting an error message? Is it not available to Decepticon players? If so why is it in my list?

If you reset currently it offers you all the alts on the list, but any of the 'new' ones you click on it makes a big red box saying NO! but sends you back to the same page. I had to guess which ones were legal.

Yeah, part of the auto-rotator script is to remove expired icons from the list. It would probably have helped if I'd remembered to add a check on the expiry date when displaying them on the altmodes page and upgrade list, for those alts which expire between runs.

Thanks Spidey, I was looking for that post. The alts should have been taken out of the list by the auto-rotator script, but I didn't turn it on because I had my hands full with cleanup from the new user systems and forum crash. I'd added the check on expiry time to actually equipping the alts, just not to displaying them.
