Warrior General Games

Quick question, hopefully this hasn't already been addressed because I didn't read every page.

Does the new bonus SA "Catch Fake" require high agility to work, similar to juke and many other SAs of that type?

It doesn't say that it does but I just wanted to be sure.

Thanks

what kind of penalties are issued for a new player being outside his height zones in the new system?

for ex...

Coverage LB
5'10" - 6'3", 220-250 Lbs

but Larry builds his coverage LB at 6'4"...what is the penalty for being an inch to tall?

For an existing player who was rolled before today...nothing, congrats, you're taller than you should be.


i am talking about ones created past today

Then you just can't be 6'4. You won't have the choice to have that archetype and be that tall.

The player creation system won't let you create players outside the height/weight limits, so I don't understand what your issue is.

Not sure tbh. It fires pretty often in test games but most of those players have agility >70. Can ask Bort at the next Q & A or e-mail the question in to questions@goallineblitz.com

I am confused on whether or not to retire my players is the best option if they show day 79 days old.

I am confused on how the adv eq swap works, and why it shows only the % options when I try to change. I still don't understand that, but I had to do it with trial and error just to see what happens. It should be spelled out so that no one has to turn in equipment and experiment with it to see how swapping works.

Do I have to trade a piece? Am I better off choosing a +2 or a % piece. Or am I better off getting tokens, or keeping it?

I have no idea about all this height zones, etc. Or how this will effect players. Or if this means I should retire. I have only seen glimpses of this information. I don't even know anything about it, other than it exists.

I am confused on the archtypes, what the advantage is, if it is best to just retire them and start over.

I haven't been around long enough to really use SA's , so all that part is lost on me.

It seems very confusing for someone who doesn't spend a lot of time in the forums. There are a lot of users that fit that bill. the entry level knowledge that is needed for the game is going up. This will frustrate newer users.

I'm not saying the changes are a bad idea, because, frankly, I haven't been around long enough. i'm just saying for the common user, who rarely looks to forums, and concentrates mainly on just building their character for fun, may become lost in a myriad of confusing explainations. It's too much at once. I am at the point, where I just got most of the learning curve of softcap building out of the way, and now i'm looking at a ton of new stuff. And i've read the announcements, and a few threads, and I still feel completely lost. It should be easier to understand or explained more clearly, I guess, for the newer folks with only a season or two under their belt, and maybe a lot of players/cash spent. I don't like spending money and then not understanding how to play 2 months later. lol.

Great job by Bort and Catch 22 to be available to troubleshoot and guide everyone through theses changes... one more tiny request:

Is it possible to get a rough idea of the volume of retirements related to the archetype retirement bonus?

It would be very helpful for recruiting to know how much more scarcity of talent there may or may not be this season... I've heard conjecture that the retirements are 10X the number at the end of past seasons... I'm doubtful, but is there any truth to this?

Is there data anywhere accessible to us normal folks that can give an indication?

Thanks

Per the 3/16 announcement:
SCAT BACK, JACKHAMMER, AND ZONE SPECIALIST VA'S - you will not be able to add any more points into this VA once the archetype player creation system is rolled out. These VA's will be going away at the end of season 16 - at that time it will be a forced reset for all players still having points in it. You can continue to use it if you have points in the ability until that time. It does not, however, stack with the SA's being created to replace these VA's so you will have to choose one or the other. Each of these VA's will have full reset options available to them if you wish to not keep them.

So my LB had points in Jackhammer - now the VA is totally gone from his list and the VP I had there got dumped into something else (Ball Hawk). I was under the impression that I could keep Jackhammer for the upcoming season (just not add to it). Did this change in the last couple of days?

Is this AEQ Exchange as planned?

So am I to assume if I want to exchange this piece my only option is this or selling it for the tokens?

VP just doesn't get magically dumped into something - you'll need to submit a Support ticket for that so they can look into it.

That is correct - see announcement, Break Block pieces can only be exchanged for a +attribute piece if it has another +% piece attached to it.

All of the AEQ changes and rules were previously announced, please refer to AEQ Changes Announcement before selling or exchanging any of your AEQ.

Also, you can not save your free player if you create a player. It will automatically use your free player for the first player you create.

This would have been nice to know earlier. Most people that create players (like myself) usually play around with the creation process before retiring and settling in on a build. I, like many others thought that you had to click the link to activate the free player. Is there a reason you can't retire the free player as many times as you want until the preseason (since you have until then to make your free player?


sorry if you already did, but i didn't see an answer to this. can you please explain catch22? why not just clicking in the reward point link to create the new player or something? i know you advised before but it seems that many people made this mistake

Well, I didn't have Ball Hawk maxed out before - now it is. I'll email support.
