You know I am beginning to see why the Autobots are viewed as cowards in this game. I have seen several missions this morning and over the weekend that have had Autobots jump in at the last second to outnumber the Decepticons (or Maximals/Preds). I know this happens in all the factions but, obviously, it affects me as an Autobot.

Why do Bots feel the need to jump into mission like that? If it was because that was the only mission available with your last mech I could, sort of, see why. But some how I doubt that is the case all the time.

What really gets me is the mechs that do this usually leave others of their faction hanging and being outnumbered just so that can try and get some "easy" xp. The Bots are having enough trouble as it is let’s try helping out the faction instead of just helping out your own pockets.

sorry for the rant guys and gals. hey wait; it's my first rant...yeah

This is one of the reasons I stick to the arena most of the time. The experience distribution in the missions isn't worth it lately. Plus I get the crap kicked out of me.

Fight in the arena if you don't like it. And how about those loaded up Con's that take the missions that let in low level Bots and Con's.

Bottomline, its kill or be killed. This is HM WAR man.

Those are called Xp Generators. If you hit a considerably bigger enemy, it will give you more Xp. Easy math.
But if you don't like it, as I remember, there are single-level missions on every level, fill those up, but that will give you less Xp :idea:

HAH!

No idea what hapened there.

What that SHOULD have said was that I agree with the rant. Unless there are no other missions I go for where the battles will be. Now if me joining makes it 5 vs 4 I wont have a problem doing that but if it makes it 6 vs 0 or 6 vs 2 with even levels then thats just no fun. Sometimes if I'm at work I'll just choose the missions that will be done earlier without looking too much what the numbers are so I can have at least a few missions completed and view the results durring my lunch break.

you know you'd probably be better off bringing this up in the bot forum Aerrow.

I was thinking the same. We don't want to give you other factions anymore ammunition than you already have.

Back on topic - while I don't particularly like joining missions where we outnumber the 'cons, I can't help it as I only ever get 6 missions to choose between, which then falls as I add 'bots to them.

This really wasn't aimed at just the Autobots. From my POV it is but I see this happen will all the factions. If was just Autobots I would have posted this in Iacon. Sadly it happens more often then not at the lower levels. Maybe if people could spread out their forces there would be more mission getting filled.

Just my thoughts on the subject. This was never meant to cause any trouble and if it has (or does) I apologize in advance.
