I've just gone through and deactivated a couple of missions in the hopes of pushing out the 3-7 Wabbit mission more often.

This may result in some funny results. I do apologise for that.

Note: It doesn't matter that the numbers don't make up with Psychout's map. They're database ID's. Also, these don't do anything at the moment. More or less just laying ground work for down the track.

Inferno:Treason has been changed from 9-11 to 8-11 in the hopes of attracting more participants or generating something different. It was the only 9-11 mission in the system.

But we can still track the results, even if it's done manually, right?

For those of you that have Pumpkins, please let me know if they don't behave correctly (e.g. they may not do anything, their tactic may not engage etc).

I tried something else behind the scenes which I DON'T think should affect existing characters, but for now it's out of rotation until Christmas day when it's supposed to re-enter rotation as "Rare".

All of mine just went through missions and performed about as well as usual
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

Just so people are aware of what's going on and what I've done ...

If you see a Rusty Shovel alt mode go a bit nuts with ramming, that would be because we're determining the values of the Action/Target rounds of alt modes. You may see them do other things as well for a week or two.

Some of you may also have seen Tankules in missions.

Tankules is unique in that it has THREE tactics. Ram, Repair and Strafe. Adding a third tactic was ridiculously simple, to the point I probably could add a fourth and fifth (and so on if the others worked).

Now let me shoot down the excitement. Triple tactic alts won't be joining the game any time soon, simply because you could easily reach level 12, and the coding for missions does not allow for level 12+. The arena probably does, but do we really want to see level 12 in the arena only when we could see them in missions handing out all that sweet sweet XP?

Don't worry though, they will hopefully be added eventually, but a few things need to change before that happens.

To keep everyone up to date:

The Autobots have an ongoing issue with their altmode rotator where a large selection of Common alts are not showing up at all in their rotation.

As a temporary fix, I have edited a selection of roughly 30 alts of various classes from Common to Core so they should now have a minimal selection from each at least.

If there are any further issues with alts, please contact me directly via PM or leave a message in the thread I began in Iacon.

(Also, the Vicious Flying Monster Class' Avoid tactic is cheaper now.)
