basic combat missions

they still give ever increasing bonuses, so i just do group missions.

You should only get bonuses until you kill the 50th bot. Then you will recieve basic experience (i.e. Combat +2 Light +5 Heavy +5) but should no longer receive bonuses (i.e. Combat +250 Light +145 Heavy +145) until you end the current mission and start a new mission.

Have you killed more than 50 bots and received the bonuses? Are you doing the advanced combat missions? I think that they top out at 100 bots.

nope

"Nope"?

To what are you reffering?

Nope, you haven't killed more than 50 bots?

Nope, the bonus goes on forever and doesn't top out at 100 bots?

Please be a little more verbose in your responses so that there will be enough information for the Devs to work with. The information you have given is very sketchy at the moment.

Okay,was working the beginner botting mission. I hit the 50 bot "limit". The mission bot said that was that. I tried to continue and I was able to get bonuses for 6 more bots before I hit the level 4 xp cutoff. Misson ended at level 4 experience threshold.

that's normal.

What is "normal"? Define "normal".

the basic combat mission should automatically end when you reach level 4 combat xp.

that's when it is time to start advanced/group missions

I thought I had an idea what "normal" was but wanted a bit of confirmation. Normal can be a leading term sometimes. :-/

I was actually trying to get a bit more from tim. All he said was "nope". I did find that the basic mission didn't end when the bot said it did so maybe there is a bit of a bug but it does stop cold at the level 4 combat threshold so it doesn't appear to be a big problem.

I don't know if he was refering to the basic or advanced missions. If the advanced, then how many bots? I thought it was 100 but I might be wrong. Tim... we need a bit more info here please. :-)

I was wrong about the 100 bot cap ber round for advanced missions.

I was able to go to 240 bots while the mission continued in 6 bot increments. No problem. While the bouses continued, they did not increase. I was getting a consistant +300/+210/+210 throughout the mission to 240 bots, where upon I cashed out and took my levels.

I did this when I had about 1000 skill points. Once you get to 25 bots, you have to kill Drone II bots. Every 5 you kill increases until you get the largest bonus you can get, which is 1000 combat, 300 light, and 300 heavy. You keep getting this over and over until you get to level 4 (I think that's right) and then it stops. I got to 86 bots before I had to do advanced. Once you get advanced, they are ever-increasing until... I dunno, haven't gotten there yet. Someone know?
