I guess it could be more really. Nothing would save this game any more but probly would have been better to do a year or 2 ago.

I mean I loved player building over here for a long time. But ultimately it lost its luster, especially after they re invented it into a massive amount of SP's and equipment handed to you on a silver platter. Pretty counter intuitive to have all those SP's and end up with builds that may be pretty well off in SP differential but overall play generically close to the same. At that point you may as well just have GLB2's system without the ALG's so that people can make their player without a general mathematical layout. You could definitely think of some ways to complex building in GLB2 a little more for the avid player building minds.

Right now however they need to get the sim to a state in which everything they have works though. Which may take awhile as despite Corndog working hard on refining it, it often takes Bort quite awhile to push the updates through.

I like some of those thoughts but I really dislike GLB2's layout and look/feel. Maybe its just being adverse to change but I really dont think thats it. Something about it just screams "unintuitive" and I guess if both games are unintuitive then maybe I just prefer the clickfest I know vs the one I dont.



First of all they need to take the WG bar and shove it really far up their ass. I mean I like it when I am on the computer and all but when I am on my I phone it is the worst possible thing ever. Always in the way. Even minimizing it still fucks up everything. Just a huge annoyance and takes a lot of my enjoyment from the game when I am using my phone.

Outside of that I think there are some things GLB1 players are just sort of used to and that makes it weird. Like the forum layout just feels nicer over here. But for newer users I think some things that would really help their confusion are:

- On the schedule currently ladder games don't show up until 2 days before your match. To combat this confusion, maybe put Unknown or TBD with a ladder symbol next to it on the schedule so people see how many games they have coming up. Sure there is still a confusion about who they are playing but at least they know there is an upcoming game there that way. I actually like the suspense of the ladder matchup though.

- Playoff bracket preview like GLB1 on the league page. I know there are only 4 teams in the playoffs but the confusion really sets in during those final weeks as to who is in the playoffs, where is the bracket, who plays who. Make it simple.

- Easier ways to figure out statistics. This is just a super mind fuck over there. There are no league leaders pages. The HoF only shows stats for the top 3 guys in any category (and only a couple of stats at that and its the same way on the league page). And statistics are often confusing between whether they are ladder stats, league stats, or both to many people. Bring over a similar team and league leader statistic output page like we have in the GLB1 leagues. Then have a similar page on the GLB2 main for Ladder statistics for both team and individual leaders. (you could even just do the top 100 or something so it isn't too cluttered)

Those are just 3 simple things that could make lives a hell of a lot easier over there for people. Problem is I am not sure Corndog is the guy working on that sort of stuff and I am not sure Bort is the guy either....

GLB has done a poor job with stats and I've complained about it from the beginning. Just enhancing this would make the game 100% more enjoyable and I think may have kept some people from leaving.

My Mom's a real important lady.

Player building isn't as hard as many make it out to be

Being here since 2008 it surely isn't. Walking in without knowing anything about the game or anyone who plays it, I am sure it can be pretty daunting.

There are people who have been here a long time that cannot figure it out

Right. All they have to do is follow JD's paragraph of starting out. Find the script for VPB. Read up on the caps, the ALG's for those caps, figure out the different between majors and minors, know that not all minors are worse than all the majors, know when to stop pushing the caps, are you still reading this?

If someone is holding their hand for 6 months it is very likely they can too have a player that looks exactly like the rest of WL.
