the alt rotator; could we speed it up?

you know, so we can actually access the oodles of altmodes Mkall worked on, rather than just wistfully think...one day.
i mean there's about 50 rares alts, we get 10 at a time, that s 10 weeks before we actually see some of them. 200 commons, 50 odd a time 8 weeks till we get to see them all.
which seems a bit odd commons nearly as unavailabe as rare.....
so yeah could we like cycle it once a day for a week or something before going back to two weeks?

Not a bad idea, but maybe that ought to wait until after Mkall can iron out the oddities from the alt mode issues thread (or, you know, maybe take some of the suggestions from my It's a Trap thread... just sayin'.)

I have to agree Tammuz. At least on the Con side, we don't even have access to some of the most basic core alts like Soundwave or Shockwave.
Is there a way to speed it up a bit?

I take it that this is a no go?

I think maybe speed it up for like the first four rotations, just to give players a chance to get the alts they want from the reset. Then slow it back down to the way it was.
I think it's fine the way it is personally. Rare alts should be rare and hard to come by, common should show up more frequently, and well core is core and should always be there.

Sometimes, its good to see how the rest of the community that bothers to post here feels first. Then again, there are times when it's damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I know I'm a little late here (just got back into the game this weekend), but I'm all for speeding up alt mode rotations.
Also, could someone post the link to the list of all the existing alt modes (if it's not too much trouble)? I remember looking at it a long time ago, but I've since forgotten where it's at.
Thanks!

This is the list that's available to you now.This is the complete list.These links only work if you are a Bot or Con (as the animals will just eat theirs or something...)

It is currently running at 1 rotation/3 days speed, at least until the whole set is rotated at least once.
The whole list is not available, but here's a list for your faction (if you're not maximal or pred, they see the con list):

You know as well as I do that when the munchies hit you that almost anything sound delicious.

But if you eat your computer screen, how will you look at porn?

Through a telescope aimed at your neighbors window.

No, a telescope would be too shaky. You’d never be able to make out any detail.

You've obviously never used a telescope that wasn't old and rickety to spy on the hottie down the hill.

You people fail. The actual reason why you can't use a telescope to view porn through a window is you need two hands to hold the telescope. Unless you have a tripod one and then it's all good.

Double fail. When a telescope is hand held it's a spyglass.
