Rymdkejsaren Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yeah, "early 2021" isn't likely to mean January or even February in my experience. We'll see four more seasons of BB2 OCC at the very least, and I'd bet good money on the release being delayed until Q2 or more, and I could see the OCC taking 2-3 months to set up on top of that. That means we can assume we'll have at least six more seasons. Also, even if the BB2 crowd shrinks we'll likely keep the league running for a while alongside the BB3 league like we did with BB1. (Disclaimer: this is all speculation.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2 4 2 2 3 2 2
dieMaus Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I started this game with BB2 WAY after it's release. Did the community switch from 1-> 2 fast enough? I mean there should also be people who wait for sales, ppl who wait for bugfixes, ppl who wait for more (their) race, etc.... So I guess there will be a timeframe when OCC has leagues for both games?

Smiling Tom Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 It happened relatively fast - in a couple of seasons, really. But as RK says, BB1 kept running for several seasons more (even a year?) after the bulk of players switched. But then, we did not switch right away when it got released, not until 12 or more teams were available and most glaring bugs got fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallztotheWalla Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) With nurgle being one of the starter teams, we could just switch immediately and nobody would notice a difference...

Ratamo Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 If those screenshots are really from ingame i gotta buy new computer to replace my potato! But as for customisation, choosing own comour palette would be wonderfull. I really dont mind the heads as most of the time they are covered by helmets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 6 2 4 3 2 2 2 6 2
Doomy77 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I hope they bring back cosmetic upgrades as players skill up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4
Javelin Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 My hope is they don't choose to make rookie humans look 80 years old. I've never understood that. Surely blood bowl is a game for the young to play and the rest of us to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2 2 4 3 2
Smiling Tom Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 My guess is that we will get something similar to the scheme mechanic from Dawn of War 2/3. My wish is that it's modable enough that we can end up using 3rd party skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 3 2 2 2
Smiling Tom Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 They shared quite a bit of info on their twitter feed today. Looks like we will get proper customization, like the ones used in Dawn of War 2 & 3 with some improvements. Oh, and this. And we already know that Black Orcs and Imperial will be there. And above we see an orc blitzer so, of the 12 teams we get: Imperial Black Orc Orc Chaos Renegade Old World Alliance So 5/12. Not much room for a reasonable sample, tbh. Add in humans and dwarves, goblins and flings as all the sculpts are there, and we have 3 slots for some elves, chaos and undead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiling Tom Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 So, confirmed they'd be using the current GW official team sculpts meaning the necromantic team pays the price for being awesome by having the goofiest looks in the game. This means that it will be very unlikely to see in game teams that have no current sculpts (Amazons, vampires, norses, khemris...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyRdr Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Loved the look of the customisation, but with the team list for launch, I just don't see myself buying it right away. Feels like it will continue to be dominated by bash and I just can't be bothered with that. As I said, love the customisation. Also, chess clock is apparently a thing. Never had to play with one of those, so don't know how that goes, but I know a lot of folk have wanted that for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Pidpad Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 By customization I assume they mean for models and not necessarily leagues. I know which of those I want the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4 3 3 2 4 2 2
Javelin Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I think people were more asking for distinct appearance as level changes rather than being able to add or remove an armband. But we'll see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2 2 4 3 2
