What the heck is up with this?

I can see it now.... the fighting stops, and all the Decepticon heads slowly turn toward the toaster with a flamethrower.
"Is that a.... toaster?"
"He's got a flamethrower."
"I HATE toast. It tastes like burnt bread."
"Me too! Let's get him!"
What would cause 80% of the opposing team to target one guy? There were still 5 others to choose from...?

dang dude that sux... i know wut u mean
again all towards the experience we receive might be inadequate?
also the mission and arena time could go a little faster, i mean this is the 21st century, technology is king and things are very, very fast nowadays.

The RNG rolls the dice and your number keeps coming up. So just hope someone more unlucky is on your side.

ya know that's a really silly argument
if all times where cut by half then everyone would earn xp at twice the rate, meaning the relative position wouldn't actually change at all.
tough it out, improve your attention span, and don't expect instant gratification.

LOL, well, if you look in Toast-R's bio, he does try to pick a lot of fights. He must have said something that REALLY ticked them off!

If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.

If you want to see a mission with KILL ME on a bot look at this
http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... _id=192718I'm Sunstreaker. I'd take a screen shot but it still wouldn't fit the whole line of consecutive attacks

that's not really quite as impressively unlucky, it's pretty much guaranteed that when your the only bot left against any number of cons that they will choose you as they're target.
it's the equivalent of being marched to brick wall, given a cigarette and blind fold, and then being surprised when this bunch of guys shoot you.

I was the last on the wall but I also had a gun to kill some the attackers. Took out 2 of those filthy bastard cons myself.

Don't worry. He's not aware that a majority of us had done better before, like taking down a entire team on our own, or beating people a couple of levels higher or one hit kills. Let him bask in his ignorance.

You Autobots only have yourselves to blame for stealing the toaster in the first place.

Oh yeah I forget you guys still bask in the past. Let's remember when you old farts were doing those One hit kills and killing entire teams you weren't level 1. What level did you do those AMAZING accomplishments at again????
When you can show me something impressive at level 1 in the current game and not stories from times past I'll think twice about how amazing you might be. Right now you are nothing special. Get used to it because it's going to be that way for now and in V2.

This isn't V2 yet, and a lot of the stuff starts happening around level 2. If people think they're getting shut out a lot now, my personal record from the arena was 5 consecutive shutouts.

WOW, that's increadibly bad!.
I think I'd have called it a bad day to achive 5 shut outs in a day.
Right now, 2 a week is pretty rare.

Well Max this is still a back in the day story but there was a time where I took down 5 bots and made First Gen run away. Granted I had a lvl 0 meat sheild who died very quickly. What did I do this with? A 35k avoid build lvl 1. Morale of the story learn from the past or hey repeat the short end of the stick course that is the bot status quo.

you mission is in the past; it's irrelevant.
now if you want me to fawn over you, and garner my respect and adulation go do somethin actually impressive rather than just post a run of the mill mission log. sorry if the bar's too high for you, i'm not about to lower it just to stop your whinging and stroke your ego.
