Lol. Fwiw most of the "elite WL dotbuilders" club, which I'm definitrly not a part of, are skipping s0 boosts.

Should someone skip s0 boosts cuz I said so? Probably not. But should they do it because RyanCane26 and King of Bling and Tomcic do it? Ya, that's probably a real thing to copy...

What's going to happen is at some point it'll become the accepted best practice that everyone follows who makes decent+ dots. It is inevitable, like in the old system boosting from 22 to 25...

I'm willing to bet a solid that this is not the end of this. There's a HUGE difference between looking at a bunch of math and looking at an actual product and that, once these dots his plateau, we'll all sit back and say "Oops... didn't see that." I'm no different. I've been doing my own thing with the math and my build ideals and then running that against Ryan and other's math and I have yet to see any advantage either way. They end up with 3AEQ dots that have a slightly higher Primary skill, but a touch lower on the secondary's than my way does. In the end, that's a hard call to try and sell folks that "my way is better/right" because you can't SEE that... yet. And, again, I could be wrong just as easily. Hell... we all could be wrong. But not by anything cataclysmic! I mean, all us old timers have been building dots since dinosaurs roamed the fields! It's not like we're going to have vastly different dots at the end... just slightly.
Which is fine and we'll all get together after our dots are all grown up and compare notes and make adjustments. I just don't think anyone will be "nailing" their builds this go 'round. But I also doubt this crop of dots will be crap either. I mean... ALG's have not changed. Dot leveling has not changed... you still start with 0 and end at 79. Everything else we'll figure out together.

Didn't RyanCane argue with you that it doesn't matter?

My stance was that not boosting s0 was always the most efficient method, its just enhanced even more now due to 5 boosts instead of 3 and Vet XP now based off age and not level. And while it is certainly the most efficient, it's still not the only method.

No, he agrees with me, was just saying skipping s0 was already the best in GLB 1.0.... Re-read the discord if you want...

To re-read the Discord, I'd have to have read the Discord first... and I'm not on Discord.

I was tongue-in-cheek referring to your forum thread advising against using the S99 boosts, where RyanCane pointed out that you're technically correct, but not by much, based on the numbers he ran.

Ryan didn't boost any of his players in his own teams (all three of them). That's the proof we need!

I did a comparison to an earlier test build I ran using the two boosting strategies and based off the results IMO Wise is correct that the most efficient way is to wait, however the end builds are still very close and may not be worth being under leveled your non-plateau career to you.


I love how that very carefully-worded and nuanced assessment has somehow morphed into "RyanCane 3:16 says I just kicked the Season 99 boosts' asses!" in the minds of a bunch of people not named RyanCane.

RyanCane has pretty firmly established that he doesn't care much about the game below World League and that's why he's not spending his S99 boosts, and that's fine. He's also pretty firmly established that people who spend their S99 boosts right now will probably be just fine at end-build. Those opinions are not mutually-exclusive.

Just out of curiosity, here's a snapshot of what everyone ended up doing with their boosts:

Level 11: 858 dots (10.47%)
Level 10: 9 dots (0.11%)
Level 9: 4 dots (0.05%)
Level 8: 74 dots (0.90%)
Level 7: 84 dots (1.02%)
Level 6: 3,040 dots (37.08%)
Level 5: 11 dots (0.13%)
Level 4: 199 dots (2.43%)
Level 3: 1 dot (0.02%)
Level 2: 9 dots (0.11%)
Level 1: 3,909 dots (47.68%)
-----------------------------
TOTAL: 8,198 dots (100%)

Interesting... almost half of the new dots didn't boost at all.

Guess we'll see how it all turns out in a few seasons!

those boosted to 11 are probably one and done. Will be dead end build for sure!

Agreed. And while it doesn't seem to make sense, it does matter if you're doing 4 AEQ vs 3 AEQ. I still think your way works best for 3 AEQ builds. I'll let you know how mine turned out once they hit plateau.

I only used 5 boosts but now says there are none left when I click the Boost Players link.
Still there inside each player though.
