Modpost: Fixing the Autobot altmode issues

Hello Autobots!

You have a ton of altmodes that don't work. Seibertron has been contacted about this issue, but for various reason has been unable to get it sorted yet.

We need to get this **** sorted.

So, as an interim measure and to allow you to continue playing with altmodes and classes you actually want to use, over the next few days I will be manually going through your altmode list behind the scenes and switching a bunch of them from the broken subset (common) to one that we know works (core) until the error goes away.

This will take time, but I will do everything I can to do it as quickly as possible.


If you have any (serious) requests for common alts you want switched to core immediately to allow you to reset, or any requests for specific ones you definitely want available, please list them below.

On behalf of the admin here, I'd like to apologise for how long this issue has taken to fix, and assure that we are still chasing it up with Ryan.

Thanks,
Psych.

I will be working off this list given by Bun-Bun, so feel free to recommend alts from any of these classes, and feel free to suggest additions.

Bun-Bun wrote:
    Dangerous Land Animal
    Fast Air Animal
    Fast Insect
    Ferocious Air Animal
    Ferocious Sea Creature
    Helpful Insect
    Hovercraft
    Opportunistic Insect
    Repair Tank
    Tough Insect
    Velociraptor
In addition to that there are alt classes with no core alts and only a small percentage of rares thus unduly restricting access to them
    Battlestation - 71% Common
    Dangerous Air Animal - 75%
    Helpful Sea Creature - 80%
    Nimble Air Animal - 85%
    Nimble Sea Creature - 75%
    Space Shuttle - 80%

as in, other common alts not in those classes that you can't get to and need. If you sneak a rare or two in there and I don't notice then I won't complain considering what your faction has had to put up with recently, I think you guys deserve a bit of a break.

(Id love to be able to facilitate a wish list, but we've got a few things we need to straighten out first. Once I've got this sorted, we've got the weapons needing a long-overdue overhaul to go yet...)

All autobot alt classes should now have at least 1 core alt available and all requested alts have also been updated to core.

Please feel free to make any further requests you would like to be available to you, as you're still missing a ton of alts here!

Is the current Autobot alt mode thread current? I know there been additions and changes to them. Personally, I have no problems with single alt modes. I was always under the impression they were cheaper to build than dual tactics with a few exceptions like dragons. I am more of variety of life vs same build/power level. I guess this is why I want to see the weapons have their secondary intended effects.

There is nothing 'cool' about Cosmos but as you actually want him for some reason, I've made him available for you again. :lol:
