Moncap Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 We've seen what the impending BB2 switch over has done to numbers. Wouldn't a reset do something similar? Why reroll when there are only 2,3,4 seasons left. I'm certainly against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy Flush Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Not this update. I sure hope they will, though. I made a huge post about it in their forums when the game was relatively new, but I think I need to remind them. Repeatedly. If you have a link i'd love to read it.

Rymdkejsaren Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 http://forum.bloodbowl-game.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=6017 Some of it has been dealt with. Most of it, not so much. I also have additional complaints now that I've messed about with leagues a bit more. I'll write it all up again sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dode Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Here we go: Assassins! This is almost entirely doable outside the client if we only allow "no effect" and "dead" results. Cut down those tall flowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Jakerbeef Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 My reset comment was tongue in cheek. :p But felt it needed mentioning anyway as I've heard of other leagues doing it. I'd be against it myself. Longevity is the key to Bash happiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Thorrek Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 There are two of the old optional rules I would love to see back, Grudge Matches (each Coach gets a Random Event, or was it Dirty Trick?), and the Squig Ball. (AV Roll against the one trying to Pick Up, Catch, etc. If no one has the "ball", it hops one random square). If they put a carefully worded Squig Ball for a Stadium Upgrade, that'd be the one I go after! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a reason to stop playing (Amazons). The reason, why i would (maybe) accept assassins: it does not seem to be dependent upon a targets skill/attributes. AV 6-10 and even those with regeneration seem to be affected equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Dreamy Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The one I heard about spiked balls was "if you fail to pickup, catch, etc., then you get an AV roll as if stabbed". And the one about squigs was "bounces 1d3 times upon a failed pickup, catch etc, also if left unattended for a turn" Sometimes also "if roll a 6 on a move roll when unattended, ball splits in two, scoring can be done with either ball" (in these cases crowd will not throw in extra balls, and you can also try to block extraneous balls to death, killing the last ball by accident concedes a touchdown) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallztotheWalla Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Can someone explain how ageing works in bb2? My play style is not suited for player survival but I'd like to know how it works. The stadium wizard is a deal breaker for me, the other upgrades ads flavor but the wizard is just broken and will make certain teams unplayable imo. The inducement system and bank rules sucks too btw.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 5 2 3 2 2 2
Dreamy Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Can someone explain how ageing works in bb2? Officially your player retires somewhere between 96-128 games. But there doesn't seem to be anyone who has heard of any player ever actually retiring due to aging.. https://steamcommunity.com/app/236690/discussions/0/487870763315628362/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a perpetual league scenario which had all those schenanigans thrown in. It would take away somewhat from the 'chess match special' vibe that 'pro' coaches like- where it feels like every game is an even game and all about minimizing risks, on your way to league domination, but we already have plenty of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiked balls can come from inducement cards. And squig balls are locally used for the bonus games that people who missed the play-offs can get to play.

Waleed Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Thanks, I figured. I think it would be interesting in the name of Science to go balls to the wall and use EVERYTHING and see how it goes. I know it would be impractical and unfair (and maybe impossible?) after a few seasons to change rules but that's coming from someone who doesn't take the game as seriously as they used to +1...EXACTLY!!! Once tried with everything on, and actual data/results, the Green Suits can then decide :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 6 2
