Looks good. Lot of ideas.

I wonder...if a bunch get implemented, maybe it would be a good idea to do another optional VA reset?

I'm kind of torn on the idea, but if there is no reset I can see a bunch of 'there are cool new VAs and I only have 1 point to use on them' posts.

I think if a number get implemented we should get the ability to move something like half our VP's, something like that.

Brains

This ability gives your HB the ability to eat brains. This HB knows when to try to be elusive (VS that 380lb DT coming at him) and when to be POWER..(VS that 165LB CB coming at him) Each level gives a +3% chance to dig out (vs Linemen) or rip open (VS d-backs) when attempting to eat brains from the HB position. This ability has no effect when coming up against a LB. Vision check must be made to see if the eyes are still connected to the brains.

fixed and added

If a ton get added (which I think they should, cause the more to play with the more diversity between players) there should be a VA re-spec. A full one. I know, people should be somewhat committed to their builds in all respects but come on, even the staunchest Full Re-Spec / SA-only Re-spec opponent has to have room in their vision for a re-spec in a case where new options that never existed before are put in.

Agreed on the respec. Maybe also organize them a bit better if it happens. The current interface is a bit lacking.

I agree with Jed, having them all in a "list" seems a bit cluttered. Should be cleaned up a bit, possibly separated into some sort of categories? Once an VA is selected, allow it to be increased like the SAs are, simply put a +/- underneath the VA and allow us to bump it like that.

One of the better ideas I've heard!

Haha, i know half the time I forget what I'm trying to upgrade, so I have to search through to find the VA with points in it

Yeah if new ones are added, it would be the one and only time I would say we need a respec...it'd be like if there were suddenly an acceleration attribute, and you didn't have any SP to put into it, and everyone in the entire game was slower than shit because of it until they lvled up...lvl 50+ guys would never get off the pine haha

agreed, the only way I would support another VA respec is if a bunch of new ones were added (which they should be).

i dont think a respec is needed. people forget that we're all in the same boat, and we really dont need the ability to max out a new VA immediately once its implemented. i think its just unnecessary.

I can see where you're coming from, but if there is a slew of new abilities added, we need our points back. The players created in Season 1 only have 2-3 seasons left before their decline, and I doubt they want to spend one of those seasons just getting a "new" VA up, when they could have it from the get go.

Plus, if there are more added, this means more variety, more specialization, more possibilities. It would be greatly beneficial to GLB as a whole of players were able to make use of these new VA choices right off the bat, instead of having to wait a season to gather enough points to make the VA selection useful.

im sure a lot of people would appreciate the ability to make their characters as powerful as they want, max out any ability they want and maybe even have them at any level they want. but the more you give them that ability, the less of a GAME this turns out to be. its akin to buying a new game only to use cheat codes right out of the box and not being up to the challenge of progressing your character.

the players currently in their 7th season are gaining VXP faster than everyone else. so they already have an advantage over the younger players.

whether we give a respec or not, the game stays balanced with everybody. i just dont see any need whatsoever to RUSH everyone into maxing out these new abilities.

the problem is, every time a new VA is going to be introduced, youre going to have to respec everybody just so players can max it out immediately. that seems great in the interest of creating all-powerful characters, but it doesnt seem right in the interest of the game. how many VA implementations are we likely to see in the next year? how many respecs is that going to end up being? how does it make sense for a game to allow all players to constantly redo their characters and fix their mistakes as if they never made them?

the last VA reset feature was only necessary because of bad wording in a few specific vet abilities. personally i think players should have only been allowed to remove points from those specific VAs. Bort didnt want to do the reset, but like everything else, he sells his soul for you guys. he seems to do that way too often, in my opinion. because of that, GLB isnt so much of a challenging and fun game as it is a pointless interface for people to have the unlimited power to move around numbers back and forth and create the ultimate players.

i think players should just give up the desire to have godlike characters and just play the game like the RPG it was originally intended to be.

in short, implement new VAs and let players EARN the points necessary to max out those abilities. there is absolutely no need for players to max out those abilities as soon as they are implemented.
