:D, this is why roll and them have more alts, i am excited for this stuff adrian! this is with the mm5 robots, right adrian?

When is this planned to be ready?

Probably misloaded, MBM. I blame ISPs.

I'm very much looking forward to green Crash Man.

@BtMan : Most likely in Winter, so October, November, or even December.

I thought winter starts in November or December. And you forgot January and February.

Well, I don't expect this update to take that long. October can be thought of as Winter, and that's what I would estimate it. Most likely, it's going to be November.

Fall is September, October and November, fellows. Winter is December, January and February.

Patience, grasshoppaaaaaaas.

Despite years of watching YouTube videos and reading blogs about the dangers of "power creep" in game design, I made a huge mistake and succumbed to it anyway. I apologize to all players for my folly, and hope you'll understand why I need to fix it - no matter how frustrating it might feel now.

This whole 9999 stat thing was fun while it lasted, but it's really messed with the balance of the game and the uniqueness of the characters. As such I'm revising the way stats are calculated and allowing each robot master to retain their unique stat-spread even at "maxed" levels. Some players will undoubtedly be upset by this change as it means they will no longer have robots with a 9999 stat in anything, but I feel it is absolutely necessary to keep the prototype fun and sustainable long-term.

Anyway, "Winter" was purposefully ambiguous because I'm not quite sure how long it'll take for update to come out but I'm optimistic it'll be during or before December. If I was just doing the costumes it might take less time, but I really wanted to fix this stat thing before I even considered adding MM5+ content. There would be no point otherwise. :|

I hope the other changes and additions are enough to ease-over those most upset, but I promise it's for the best. Thank you for playing and for dealing with my sometimes erratic programming through the development of this game. It really means a lot that you've all stuck around as long as you have. ^_^

@Adrian Marceau : Concerning the dynamic player levels, that's a bona fide brilliant idea. Good one.

Also, I've only been here for 15 days, but, you're welcome, anyway.

@Adrian Marceau : Well, think of it this way, Adrian: some people fall victim to errors in the game and stubbornly do nothing about it, regardless of whether complaints arise or not.
You spotted the issue and promptly dealt with it. What's done is done.

It's a prototype, and you're putting your heart and soul into it. You don't have to apologize. :)

@Adrian Marceau : Hey, you know what they say. To er is to human, to argh is to pirate. Wait, I think I got that wrong. Everybody makes mistakes and this is a prototype, a work in progress. It means a lot you temporarily came back from your brake to tell us this.

Indeed, the database does seem to have more entries than it did before—more than a few. I'd be willing to bet on Fake-Man, the four Dark-Men, maybe Doc Robot? Not sure why Alien or Bond would be there, though...they're supposed to be a secret.

Hm. Guess I'll see. Later rather than sooner, unless he tells me about it early for some reason.

Well, let's see some simple math, here.

If there's was someone with a Maxed-out Mega Man [BossMan],

Attack: 9,999 [old limit] - 4,462 [new limit] = 5,537 overage
Defense: 9,999 [old limit] - 4,462 [new limit] = 5,537 overage
Speed: 9,999 [old limit] - 4,462 [new limit] = 5,537 overage

5,537 x 3 = 16,611 total overage.

16,611 x 100z/100 BP would be 1,661,100z/1,661,100 BP.

That sounds about right. Make it 100 BP, though; you have guys like the Big 3 [BossMan, Tails and Rhythm] that have many maxed-out robots, and they have enough Zennies [and BP, really] as it is.

I'd just like to say that "Mint Ice Man" is the most adorable thing I've heard all day. All the alts should have cute little nicknames. :)
