This should be clarified a bit better in the announcements. I can imagine you're going to get complaints from people who got confused and sold their equipment now.


First sentence of the announcement:

We are changing the way +% Advanced Equipment is going to work. Effective at the end of season 14, it will work as follows:

A tester.. That suggests 1 person... and Discussed by "whom"..

IF you think this is a "small" number of people that disagree then only time will tell. I think it is a much bigger number of people but have come to conclusion that their voices aren't being heard so screw it or it just isn't worth it. Why? Because you have already stated that this is going to HAPPEN PERIOD !!!



Are you a tester?

Just wondering. I'm not. I could bet that a lot could be identified by running tests for two weeks. I could also bet that this tester conversed with at least Catch22, DD and Bort. That's enough to satisfy me.

Does not apply to SA, only % chance. I don't think the option to swap is available yet either, not until the offseason at some point.


that doesn't sound right. I have two items that both have percents and SAs. I passed on hunting for the extra eq points so I could have an SA and the percent bonus. The two items are as follows:

Superior Grey Shirt [convert]
+6 speed, +4 Wrap Up Tackle SA, Break block chance +14%

Superior Purple Visor [convert]
+6 speed, +4 Big Hit SA, Break block chance +14%

These items combine now for Break block chance +28% but after the change it will be Break block chance +21%. I would like to know more about the swapping options and cash it will cost the team to fix the players equipment.

That's pretty far from the truth to be honest. Right now every player worth his salt MUST stack certain AEQ. This forces them to pick different pieces of AEQ. This makes the change less cookie cutter not more cookie cutter.


I don't think people really understand this "cookie cutter" thing. The goal with your player is to make him perform at the highest level possible, right? And the goal of playing competitive sports is to determine who is the best at something, right?

Determining who is deserving of the title of champion and eliminating cookie cutter builds just seems like 2 diametrically opposed goals. If an elite OC can get an HB with, say, 105 speed/87 agility and 21% fake chance and an HB with 93 speed/93 strength and 21% break tackle chance to perform equally well, then you've successfully replaced cookie cutter builds with cookie cutter competition.

This seems like an odd argument, I know. But in my defense it's 1:30 and I'm sorta drunk. Articulating the nuances of my point is not happening easily right now. I just think that if your goal is to eliminate cookie cutter builds then the easiest way to gauge the success of that endeavor is by evaluating one's success. If we get to the point where all well-built players are equally successful then we're kind of fucked.

Of course. Is DvG getting nerfed? Because once the guys at the top of the fight buff pole get nerfed, the next ones are the OP ones.


Lancer complained saying that powerbacks are breaking tackles and defenses need to fix der bilds

I said "The best way to fix der bilds is getting nerfhammered"

someone responded with "DvG?"

me: "70% > DvG"

See, you too had a breaking point, the Power I exploit. I have mine: Everytime something works, it gets nuked.


So your breaking point is that they are fixing a CLEAR, WIDELY KNOW, AND USED EXPLOIT?

Maybe make it in bold, italicized, underlined and about 6 sizes larger than the rest of the text?

The first line of the announcement says that it is effective at the end of season 14. How much more clear can it be?

beenlurken is against it because he wants his idea added instead


I am against it because I think most % AEQ will become irrelevant because we want to nerf bb%. That said if we are nerfing % AEQ to barely effective levels I want to be able to use something else too (if I even choose to still use the % piece).

Seriously, though, what are the arguments against this change? Not only are they fixing an aspect of the game that has long needed a fix, but they are giving the agents affected by the change a serious windfall in comparison to the other agents in the game.


It's don't hurt my current dot in making the game better in the long run.

Something about this post makes me think you don't understand what's actually happening.

You do realize your proposed idea is actually a harsher penalty to % AEQ, right?
