For every Autobot that stands up against the evil of the Decepticons, the more chance we give our Protoforms of peaceful cycles on Cybertron.

Thanks (in order of appearance):

Just putting theseall in one place. Not sure if these are still correct for after the reset, but still should be useful. Hope this can help out.

Weapons
Light = 1-5%
medium = 6-10%
heavy = 11-15%
very heavy = 16-20%
devastating = 21-25%
Incredible = >26%

Weapon Damage
% Damage = RANDOM[minD~maxD] x [1+(Str x 0.1)] x [1.5-(End x 0.1)] x [Armor]
accuracy of all weapons/punchs/kicks;
([attacker's speed] - [defender's speed] + 16)/ 20

Ram
frequency= ([ram] x 3) / 100
Ram Damage% = RANDOM[19~33] x [1+(Str x 0.1)] / [1+(End x 0.1)]

Repair
frequency= ([repair] x 3) / 100
Repair% = RANDOM[19~33] x [1+(Int x 0.1)] / [2-(End x 0.1)]

Strafe
frequency= ([strafe] x 3) / 100
First shot Damage% = RANDOM[8~25] x [1+(FP x 0.1)] / [1+(End x 0.1)]
Following Shot damage% = RANDOM[5~10] x [1+(FP x 0.1)]/ [1+(End x 0.1)]

Avoid
avoid rate=(AVD*0.03)*(1+(SPD/10)

Gee...other than my job, I can't see what has me so low in the rankings?

Oh...how did that get in thier? (Hey, at least she isn't "disrobed")

Level cap amounts
level 0 < 40,000
level 1 < 350,000
level 2 < 750,000
level 3 < 2,000,000
level 4 < 4,500,000
level 5 < 10,000,000
level 6 < 25,000,000

Just got back to what you all would call RL, whats been going on the last 6 months or so, AWC is gone is there a replacement? HMW is still going, whats the changes ???

AWC is still going, kinda but as for changes nothing.

If this is the correct formula for weapon damage:

Weapon Damage
% Damage = RANDOM[minD~maxD] x [1+(Str x 0.1)] x [1.5-(End x 0.1)] x [Armor]

Does the End value end up being the opponents End? Or is it your own?

Also with the values of the Armor, where can i find that number? As im sure theres a difference in the values in each Armor at each Rank level/price point.

Please and thank you, and don't forget when you're finished, to place your decepticon in it's proper trash receptacle.

Really useful thread .

its cool, but everything is so outdated. Its hard to say what was changed with programmers and what wasnt. Like a lost religion...

There hasn't really been any changes since all that information was posted. Aside from the factions being merged and losing some coders.

It's not like it was a priority for me anyway.

Since I won't be around forever to point newbies where to go I thought I'd add my own contributions here
