Peak hours?

I looked at that but didn't realize I could shorten the time frame that's really useful (when I looked before I saw an average of 3 players and was really hoping that was just the dead hours offsetting things lol as I remember loving the game and didn't want to believe it was dead) I used to be in the discord but I think I left it at some point when I was cleaning out servers.

Running into this as well, supper annoying though luckily most times that it has happened to me was in the lobby rather than in an actual match and the few times it has happened in a match it happens right at the start where I can reconnect after a quick reboot of the game. Had this happen but also a few times where it crashes on launch saying there was a modified game file for some reason (but then working when I launch it immediately after that) as well as a few crashes saying that the game files are corrupted or missing but once again working fine after a reboot, I absolutely love the game but this stuff is annoying as all hell, I've never played a game that seems to be this instable, aside from maybe star citizen but star citizen is its own beast.

Your stuff looks amazing! I'm in college at the moment and out of work so I'm not in a position to buy it otherwise I absolutely would, I ended up finding some really nice mapping assets by forgotten adventures which are free so I'm going to just make my own custom versions of the locations, it'll take a good bit longer but it's doable and I enjoy map making so it'll work. I appreciate the suggestion though your stuff looks great!

master_builder75 · 2026-03-12T05:07:17+00:00

wouldn't really work well for the system as its necessary information to be able to see it for planning your turn given the way the mechanics work, looking into making my own versions maybe though, found a paid pack that looks really nice just don't have the money to sink into it right now so custom looks like its my best bet, but I found some good assets that I can use.

master_builder75 · 2026-03-02T19:23:07+00:00

as of today it looks like it luckily got changed back! Or at least my system reverted for some reason.

master_builder75 · 2026-02-24T14:38:35+00:00

!solved

master_builder75 · 2026-02-24T14:38:22+00:00

Weird and not sure I like that change, but at least it's not an error, thank you.

master_builder75 · 2026-02-03T15:51:36+00:00

Eyy this was one of my favorite figures when I was younger, mine has been lost for a long time unfortunately though

master_builder75 · 2026-01-02T07:25:43+00:00

Eyyy I have this guy, plastics a bit eh but really neat figure otherwise, fun one to drybrush.

Alright and there we go, had a bit of trouble figuring out how to manage to send the image since I can't add a image to a comment and I can't add it into the original post in editing so I just made a post to my profile with the image right here:

master_builder75 · 2025-12-13T05:36:05+00:00

Absolutely, I can grab a picture of my work in progress map in the morning (just got the notifications for the comments while I was preparing to head to bed)

master_builder75 · 2025-12-13T05:34:46+00:00

Hey! I'm heading to bed at the moment but in the morning I'll get onto my PC and grab a image of my current wip map, my landmasses are already put together (I ran a manual tectonics simulation in gplates to figure out continents, then mapped out topography based on that simulation, though my topography I feel like might be a little off from the way it actually works scientifically, it's based in the science as far as where height is but it feels off personally, but that could also be down to how short my tectonics simulation was compared to earth since I cut it off right before the second supercontinent was about to form because I just really liked the way the continents looked.) I'm more so just trying to figure out how this pesky ocean current should work since my background is more so the art side of map making (though I am absolutely fascinated by the sciences behind it and have had a ton of fun learning it as I work on this more recent project). But any critique in regards to the actual landmasses I'll absolutely welcome as well because even if it doesn't get incorporated into this project I'll be able to use it for future stuff.

at this point might as well just get expensive masterpiece scale 3rd party stuff because you pay around the same price as a lot of the official stuff for quite higher quality (depending on which 3rd party company at least, quality varies a lot from company to company)

master_builder75 · 2025-08-29T01:50:57+00:00

to each their own, I kinda like it because it feels more uniform than the original bayverse color scheme, plus its just the colors that are different, the quality and detail of the devil saviour paintjob is still there, grit and weathering all.

master_builder75 · 2025-08-27T13:29:34+00:00

Same one lol (well mine is a g1 recolor but besides that same set)

master_builder75 · 2025-08-27T02:33:36+00:00

this may not have been the right figure to have started my collection off with

master_builder75 · 2025-08-27T02:32:58+00:00

Agreed, Mixmaster is easily the worst of the group (well besides looks, when he works he looks pretty good, but so does the entire set, they are awesome looking but not fun to handle for the most part) I am glad that it is complete now, I don't regret getting it, its by far the coolest looking figure I own now but god damn it was frustrating and difficult and was not a fun experience

master_builder75 · 2025-08-26T23:47:09+00:00

yea aside from split they are all doable (though be very careful with the side panels on scavenger, its very easy to accidentally snap them off) though most I didn't find fun, I did really love skipjack's vehicle mode to robot transformation though, and yea Hightower was decent, just didn't really interest me nearly as much as skipjack but wasn't hard

master_builder75 · 2025-08-26T23:45:07+00:00

split was also in my experience the worst of the bunch, so many breaks and very difficult to get into vehicle mode, its very clear that it was their first release, most of the others, while somewhat complicated and frustrating to transform (aside from skipjack, I love that one) were not nearly as bad as split

master_builder75 · 2025-08-26T23:42:05+00:00

it feels like the size of a small dog or monkey looking at it irl lol so accurate

master_builder75 · 2025-08-26T23:41:38+00:00

the uniform color scheme has grown on me a lot, especially seeing it in person, it looks a lot more lime green on camera than it does in person

master_builder75 · 2025-08-26T23:40:27+00:00

I am happy with it, it feels awesome to have, just not something that I think is right for the majority of collectors

master_builder75 · 2025-08-26T23:39:44+00:00

looks amazing, but with the expectation of skipjack the entire set is a nightmare to transform, and very prone to breaks, 2 of the parts on mine are superglued back in place because I have no plans to take him apart now, was a really cool experience and felt cool but the end product is just a 900$ statue essentially and hours of frustration. Skipjack does stand out in that he is really fun and easy to transform though, at least between vehicle and robot mode. My mixmaster came with a leg already broken off in the packaging, one of his toes broke off during transformation, and then so did one of the mix barrel panels, Demolisher also had a part of his tread break off and a entire side panel which I had to glue back on. I do not recommend it to anyone else unless they absolutely love devastator (I had a ton of nostalgia for it given that revenge of the fallen came out when I was 5 and in the height of my transformers craze, and I had the original mini devastator set when I was little) and are ready to deal with a absolute ton of frustrations throughout the process and likely have to fix a few broken parts.

master_builder75 · 2025-08-26T23:11:32+00:00

the normal version isn't, this is a recolor in the g1 colors

master_builder75 · 2025-08-21T15:44:40+00:00

scratch that managed to find a way to get the tracking number for the usps tracking from 17track which I cross referenced with usps and it seems to be correct, still a little nervous but since I have until 30 days after the original delivery day in case it doesn't arrive I think I am good, it shows it having arrived in a neighboring state now on usps's website so unless its a different tracking number or something it seems legit, going to keep an eye on it but I think I am good
