Dude, I won't use a cpu dot with a template or not, my man made guys are better, period (and specialized to my style of play)(I can't tell you the last time I used a cpu dot anyway). This does not benefit me in the slightest, I was only suggesting in interest of helping other (mostly newer) players as that we've seen their builds and even cpu dots will be better... level the playing field just a little if you will. If thats the case lets just open up every users builds for the world to see to help them all get "better" Heck let us copy directly off a playbook from another owner too, lets allow everyone to have access to everyones playbooks with everyones builds and then you'll just complain about how its crap they can just copy all your hard work. Stop pretending like this is the end of the world.
The issue is whereas you're right it would be for newer users, the vets are just going going to take advantage. Its with online gaming in general people abuse the system to win, they dont use it for its intent. You're kinda acting out by flipping out about the reasons why it won't work. People will do anything to win which ruins the experience for the newer guys so you cant for a second believe it would be used the appropriate ways. If the cpu dots don't pertain to you then why get so mad and butt hurt? CD is telling you how it will effect the game as a whole and you're making it about you.
If you all think this is just a way to stop players from rolling dots and spending flex, then just make the templates extremely basic... it would be better than the random bs we have now. If you think its because veteran players can win with the cpu dots, then stop making them be fully boosted and leave that ability to human controlled players only. So now you want to go back to the cpu is complete trash and its even more painful to watch as they get steam rolled by 200 pts a game? You're seriously going from one end of thinking to F it lets flip to the other side of the spectrum, thats not a solution either. This is a business, no human players means no GLB2. So once again your thoughts are not meant for the greater overall game they are just being refocused to your narrative. This is a business for them, they want it to succeed as a whole. "It would be better than the bs now?" So you think by them giving extremely basic cpu templates thats going to automatically make the game different. Apart from SA how do you even know how "random" the builds even are if you don't use cpu dots anyway? I'm completely confused by your rant, maybe you're just not getting your opinion across in a rational way because it looks like blubbering tbh.
There's multiple solutions here other than to not do anything and accuse us of trying help ourselves somehow. I think I more than often ask for things that benefit everyone as that I want this game to survive and thrive, considering its one of my hobbies. The fact you have to state you more than often ask for things that benefit everyone is a kinda a blanket statement. There are plenty of things that you suggest that I don't agree with, so that statement doesnt work. I think everyone has put through some ideas, but generally if its an idea that a user comes up with there is always some personal agenda (no matter how small behind it).
In your rant you actually show things that irritate you but maybe not others. I'm not even a dev here, but this post is going to annoy them more than anything. When you annoy them enough your words mean nothing and they just keep on scrolling even though you are a big agent on the game.
This is just an outside opinion about how your approaching it and commenting on other opinions. I've seen guys like Jay already run with his cpu guys super competitive through at least 3 seasons so the CPU players can be decent enough if someone wants to approach that. Osiris kills it on rookie with his CPU guys.
Overall, keep up the great work CD, game has come a long ass way since it started. You guys have done a great job filtering through the suggestions and implementing them while trying to keep balance in the game. END OF RANT
First, I used bold to emphasize some words to imply inflection, not create a wall of text that is blinding to look at, let alone makes it hard to see what's my response vs a quote.
My "rant" was because CD makes a despicable implication that I'm only being self serving and you agree in your white knight defense here. Let me explain this to you... I don't use cpu dots, this does not help me at all. We can disagree with the effect such a change would have, but it's hardly self serving on my part nor am I "flipping out" as you put it. I can call him out and take my part because it was a horseshit response he gave that your defending. I am in no way upset about his opinion, just what he implied towards my intentions. I want to debate the idea, not get into lowbrow bs. I generally ask for things I think will benefit the game as a whole and sometimes not everyone agrees with my idea but that doesn't mean my intentions still aren't' genuine.
PS.
Your late on the playbook copying, Viper, it's been a thing on GLBScout for a lonnnnnng time now. Stobie put that feature in I think years ago at this point. Same with templates, they get shared on here via the Scout Tool... hell, I give out mine to anyone who joins my team knowing they will take them elsewhere. I help lots of guys on defense play calling or team ideas, I just don't feel the need to come on here and toot my horn about it.
PSS.
Yes, some guys have success running cpu dot only teams like Osiris' legendary run in Rookie and Jay some as well. But have you seen anyone do so in Vet yet? I've not... nor do I want to, either. But closed build cpu with points randomly distributed across 30+ skills... surely we can do better. This is not new to bring up changes, CD even suggested using old HoF templates at one point himself.
