I wasn't attacking you, I was just stating that to the entire faction. I also did not say you were a coward, or that you were stupid. We are none of those things.

Fair enough , I took the comment that I was taking the easy way out and as you can see I don't like it when my character is questioned, but as seeing you cleared that up I will leave it be

As you can see, we have quite alot of Level 1's being featured in a lot of our missions. My Top 6 will surely reach Level 1 by the end of the day, so that's quite a few of Level 1's in missions.

I must say though, we are getting quite outnumbered when it comes to said Level 1's. I suggest that all we need to do is wait and weather the storm.

We shall survive!

Actually being outnumbered may actually help us. If we can catch some of the over confident cons in a match, the bonus is ours. If for example 6 of us were to take on a lvl 1 con and 3 lvl 0s, the XP payout should be at least 100+ an additional for the dmg to the cons. On the bright side, a lvl 1 killing a lvl 0 yields less xp. While that doesn't help while your sitting in the CR, at least its an incentive to grab 5 friends and try to own every mission.

If all goes well I should have all if not most of my team as level 1 before the weekend.

Getting picky on the missions would be bad right now. I agree with Blurrz that heading into 'easier' missions may help but we don't want the cons to just suck up the winning percentage either, esp since they aren't listing the maxi's and pred's mission stats yet. (Anyone else think thats a shame?)

Bumping this not to do with rankings but to do with the win % bar at the top on missions, now that we don't get free wins against the maxi / preds were barely getting 20$ of missions now. Last i saw it was 85 v 439 to the cons, thats just shocking for us.

And A LOT of that has to do with not being outnumbered, although that has been happeneing to me a fw times today, but with the 'Cons being mostly level 2's and 3's and we're mostly 0's and 1's which is NOT helping.

The 2's and 3's whip the bots and everyone loses out on the bots side.

I've noticed that as well in my missions. Whenever I go to the mission select screen all the missions are already filled with 6 high level 'Cons.

Not much we can do about it. They hit it hard at the beginning and they are reaping all the rewards from it. We can take solace in the fact that this won't last forever in that HMW2 will be starting everything anew. So we can keep plugging away at it and keep fighting hard and don't back down.

Disagree; voice concern in the GD threads. Mods will further adjust missions to enable fair play.

The only faction who seems wholly screwed right now are the Maximals - unless all Beast missions were limited to 4v4.

From what I can tell of the missions, they do seem to be balanced. For the most part I have seen the numbers even in them. Its just that they have the higher levels at times. The only thing the mods can do is break it down into more single level mission. I doubt that is going happen since they want to minimize the changes in HMW right now (at least last I heard). Just don't give up the fight. Even just "going through the motions" is better than up and quitting until HMW2 comes out.

No game can be fun unless it is played - on this we are agreed.

Having 0-1 missions would help out us bots alot.

I don't even like going into the 0-3 missions when I see there are already 6 level 2-3 cons and on the autobot side we have 0 bots or even worse we have 2 or 3 level 0-1 autobots and I know throwing my level 2 bots in is just feeding the cons more xp.

If we had 0-1 missions the lower level bots could go in there and not leave our higher bots screwed over against high level cons.

Of course the level 0-1s helping is better than having only 2 bots in a mission but when the 0-1s are the first 2 or 3 to join it makes it rough to go into a likely loss.
