Mobile Weapon: Ep1 BETA F.A.Q.

Here's a temporary FAQ for problems you might encounter playing the BETA:

Q0) Where can I play the game?
A: You can play the BETA version at http://www.mobileweapon.net/files/mw1/

Q1) Help! I can't even attack!
A: You have to open your inventory and equip the basic weapons that uncle Ron gave you before you can attack. - Fixed.

Q2) How come my screen freezes when I've defeated the enemy?
A: You have to click before you get your XP and items from a successful battle. We're going to make it automatic like other games. - Fixed.

Q3) How come I can't save my game?
A: You can only save in safe areas (like town) or in boss areas. We'll have to add an alert box to tell players about this otherwise it's not very obvious.

Q4) All my savegames except "new" were deleted!!
A: Clicking quickstart will delete your savegames if you have any. Register and save on the server to prevent this from happening. We're putting in a warning message to ensure your saves don't get overidden like this.

Q5) How do I even save on the server?!
A: Click the blue button to transfer your save to the server. We'll make clearer instructions for this delicate proceedure soon.

Q6) Uhh...I got to the scrapyard. That's all?
A: We've got 4-6 more areas that aren't in yet. It's in the pipeline. We'll be adding one new area on 12th July.

Q7) I can't find the parts that Ron asked me to find!
A: 2 of the 3 parts weren't added in until later. The quest may still be incomplete. Stand by we'll have it fixed tomorrow. - Fixed.

Q8) The Sniper rifle doesn't work!
A: Yeah, it's bugged and it will overwrite some of your other weapons. Don't buy it for now. - Fixed.

Q9) My HP isn't increasing with level!
A: Ok. Remember how your MAW HP used to go up alot in MW:0? Yeah that was our alternative to a levelling system. Now you've got both a pilot and a MAW. Makes more sense for the pilot to gain more XP.

But we've clearly got to do something about the MAW cos the HP is really pathetic if it doesn't increase. We're going to do something like have Ron charge you some gold and a spare part (gear, board, etc) to increase your MAW's HP. Will post an update once we've made the change.

Q10) What are Reflex, Accuracy and Technique for?
A: Reflex affects your evasion rate and is needed for more powerful melee weapons.
Accuracy affects your hit rate and is needed for more powerful light ranged weapons.
Technique adds a small bit of damage to all your attacks and is needed for more powerful heavy / special weapons.
The stat requirements should be implemented by Monday 10th. You'll need to pump the appropriate stats before you can use more powerful weapons.

Q11) STUFF DISAPPEARED from my inventory!!?
A: There's a cap of 40 items for the inventory. So if you filled your inventory stuff might get overwritten. We're addding in a warning to tell you when your inventory is full and allow for simple items like repair kits and gears to stack so no matter how many you have it only takes up one slot.

In the case of Uncle Ron's list disappearing. It's because the quest isn't complete. So he removes the list but doesn't give you a reward. We'll fix that soon. - Fixed.

Q12) The grass is blocking me.
A: Press spacebar to cut the grass. You might find some treasure hidden in the grass.

Q13) How do I get other team/party members?
A: We'll add the first recruitable team member on 12th July 2006.
