That, or give me access to the back end and I'll script something up.

That's 77 days.

What would be a good timeframe for rotating through the mech rooster for Free Mech Test Drives anyways?

 

1 week?

2 weeks?

a month?


Treat them with honour, my Brothers.

Not because they will bring us victory this day,

but because their fate will one day be ours.

I'd be fine with a month, but ideally less. I'm not sure we have the mech base for a week yet.

the programming of it is tough, because if it was easy to swap it out, it'll be swapped already. too many bugs, in a broken programming system, that gest confusing and confusing, like chemistry book questions and their wrong answers at the back of the book.

Wait a second, didn't they have grenadier and some other mechs available for test drive in between the two announcements you have in your screenshot(s)?

Yes, ISTR playing one Christmas Day.  Amid's not wrong, but he's not correct, either.  There probably wasn't a post about Gren being up for TD.

Did I say Call Me Ishmael?

 

You should call me Luna.

Yeah, there wasn't an official announcement about it on the forums.

Having it automated would save a lot of time for them to work on other things. Besides that, have the rotation be every 2 weeks instead of 1 week since there isn't enough mechs in the game yet. When the game has more mechs in it, then you have it rotate every week. Think of it like LoL, the reason that works so well is because they have a ton of champions.


Hold on to the things you care about most, even if others see it as insignificant..If you can't be true to yourself, are you really living?

the real question is how does tiggs currently enact the changes? is it simple click and drag hit accept wham bam thank ya ma'am (pipedream) or a complicated process that requires a rocket scientist and a cheat sheet?

lets just automate the announcement so tiggs doesn't have to do anything besides MAYBE be the one to enact the changes, then we can worry about how complicated the process CURRENTLY is for enacting said changes, and how complicated it would be to automate that aspect

 

that being said judging by the facebook lack of activity a social media manager (yes its different from a community manager) would be nice not that i can think of very much for them or the facebook to DO lmao

 

its all a moot point AND a catch 22 until content and community anyway

Nar, fire for the reference in the announcement to 'both' mechs, when there are obviously three.

:p

Jk, just update your template when you get a sec Tiggs ;)

I've always thought it would be neat if each individual player had a randomly selected set of test drive mechs that changed every week or so. When stuff like pred or reaper is on test drive team compositions in TDM can get pretty messed up. A team with 4 preds, for example, isn't able to keep up with a more diverse set of mechs.
