+1

Co-sign this idea in general. Shortening the timeline is one thing, but changing the process - and the currently detailed nature of building - should be limited. Whether its VPB-style insta-builds or accelerated TP/XP, keep the need to BUILD rather than simply make a player.

Agreed with all the above. Don't make this game another GLB2. We love to see our dot grow and being different. Don't just put SP making copy/paste dots.

Definitely in favor of VPB style of building

Poor wording, sorry, changed to shortcomings.

Obviously there's a reason glb1 as an older game has a higher user base than glb2 though, when in their heart all players would have preferred to jump to glb2 if it was inherently better and more fun (which didn't happen).

Listen to this noob, he speaks the truth even though he has 0 glb wins or trophies on his page!

100%!

I feel like if Bort goes the VPB-style route, he'll have to get rid of the random training gain bonuses, because otherwise I feel like it'll be the reroll script all over again, but on steroids. Just throwing that out there...

Is the obvious answer to just double training points and XP?

Four seasons to Plateau instead of seven. Increase to six boosts per season (and cut the price in half to keep costs the same!). New accelerated dots would be a bit better - equivalent to an extra season under the current system. Max level would be 80 something I guess?

I'm sure there are some minor things that would need tweaking but this seems like a straightforward fix that would speed up builds while keeping the general build process.

I agree & was thinking something similar, just make dots grow up twice as fast!

meh. could just be once you use flex (aka boost) then that flex is gone. so youd have to retire the player essentially and lost that 30% of flex every time.

I think a strong argument exists that GLB's system of 70% flex refund should be changed to reduced prices and 0% flex refund, but that's a different topic than this thread really.

I agree as long as there's some upfront cost to start the VPB builder that's 0% refunded, people won't spam re-create.

I'm gonna disagree here for this reason. As it is now, should you suddenly find you need to retire/recycle a dot BEFORE it is finished, you get back 70% of the flex you put into it. If you made it your way then if you had the exact same issue, you would lose (theoretically) more flex value. Example; Paid for dot. Reached level 79... then decline. Full value for flex spent. OR... Paid for dot. Reached level 18. Team sold. Couldn't find new team. Retired early to build new dots. Very little value for flex spent.

70% works fine as it is. IMHO.
