Mobile Weapon BETA v0.5+ FAQ

Q1) How do I get into the ruins? It's still blocked even after I've been to all the other places.
Ruins is a premium only quest. You get another party member who has some special skills in the ruins quest.


Q2) The generators still don't work :( What's capacity for anyways?
Capacity is the maximum charge the generator can hold. Recharge rate (energy) is the amount added to the charge every cycle as the generator powers up. The percentage shown is precisely that, a percentage. So if you upgraded to the Steam Generator which gives +30 capacity you can use weapons which require up to 130 energy. Your EP bar will now charge by the your MAW's base energy +1.5 from the Steam Generator.

For example, the Avenger with no generator charges at 3% (3/100) per cycle. With the Steam Generator equipped the Avenger now charges at 3.5% (4.5/130) per cycle, hence you get your turn faster.

In general, upgrading your generator lets you use more powerful weapons and increases the rate at which your EP bar charges.


Q3) Defense position doesn't take less damage
Defending adds 35% to your defense. So it gets more useful when you have more defense. Useful fights against powerful bosses.


Q4) Is there any difference during the day and night?
You will encounter more enemies in outdoor areas like the jungle at night. Other that that the high/low tide cycle is affected by time. Rest 6 hours if the tide is high in the tidal caves and you should be able to cross.


Q5) What phone models will be supported for the phone version?
We're still doing testing and development for the phone version. We'll have a full list of supported models when mobile version is offically announced. Chances are if you're using a smartphone, you will be able to play the game.


Q6) How much will the premium version cost?
We'll have to work that out with the publisher. We'll announce the price and where to get it as soon as we can.

I see that the ruins is a "Premium only quest". Seeing as the mobileweapon.net website only offers the BETA version, how does one get access to the Premium version?

And the Radar and Smoke grenade? How do they work?

We'll release the premium version in December. After we've fixed all bugs and added more quests and stuff.

Then after that it's up to the publisher to decided when to put it up online for sale.

When the version for cell phones come out, what cell phones will it work on?

Cervantes de Leonard said...

We're testing on an O2 XphoneII right now. But it should work on most smart phones enabled with Java MIDP 1.0 and above.

You delevopers better be careful with that way of adding up fractions... "Simpsons Paradox" was created by adding ratios in that manner.

where is the link to the game?

Hey, did you already give up on the Chocopets project? it would be interesting for us users to now, so that we can stop waiting for new things to come.

Thanks for your response.

Aroud what time will the multiplayer version come out?

Cervantes de Leonard said...

TY has added new backgrounds, a new game and 2 new pets for Chocopets.

We're going to be planning a major revamp of the Chocopets system in December.

As for Multi-player, we need a good multiplayer game system first. Taking in to consideration all the technical issues as well.

Top of the to-do-list for now is Premium version of Mobile Weapon. We'll announce more about other other development projects at a suitable time.

i personally have not played mobileweapon for a long while (2 or 3 months) due to the lack of new things to do. but, from what i have played with all the new upgrades it seems like alot of progress has been made
though the hit count make me wonder if you can hit multiple times per attack

Anonymous said...

yes you can shoot more than 1 times with some weapons

Kirbycode is correct about the Simpson's Paradox.

It makes no sense why an attack that used to operate on 90 EP on 100 Capacity would have to operate on 117 EP on a 130 Capacity. Logically, increasing the capacity should not affect the energy usage of an item.

I think you may have misunderstood the concept of EP, energy, and Capacity. Or maybe I just misunderstood what you were saying. >_<

I'm going to make a list of facts regarding all of this.

1)There are two different types of Energy. "Energy" is the number on weapons. "EP Energy" is the Energy number shown on a MAW.
1b)"Energy" and "EP Energy" do not affect each other in any way. They are completely separate categories.
1c)Generators only add points to "EP Energy" and "Capacity".

2)(EP Energy)/(Capacity) is how much % you gain on your EP Bar per second in battle.
Example: If "EP Energy" is 3 and "Capacity" is 100 then 3/100 is .03, or 3%. That MAW gains 3% per second on their EP bar.
2b)(Energy)/(Capacity) is how much of your EP bar is lost from an attack with that weapon.
2ba)When you attack, subtract the number "2b" from 80%. That is your remaining EP in the EP bar.
Example: A weapon uses 35 energy, and you have 100 capacity. (35/100) is .35, or 35%. 80-35=45, so you'll see 45% left after your attack.

I hope this helps. Also, search the forums, since this topic has also been discussed there.
