I wouldn't call 13 months rushing to end game at all, I don't really see how you are losing the casaul player...if by casaul you mean signs in once every couple weeks maybe. You might not lose the guy who signs up and says wow I have to wait how long to actually do something

No...now you'll lose the guy that says "I have to spend how much to be competitive?????"

that is the more likely scenario

Send an email to all of the agents that have been inactive after X amount of days asking them why they left GLB. You will get a small percentage of the population. However, it will steer you into the right direction. Perhaps it is the length of time to reach the end game. However, I think that is a pretty small percentage to be honest.

Catch, so does this mean players currently in plateau get extra plateau?

If my math is correct, a player ending this season at 560 goes back to 350 so they would get another 3 seasons. Is this correct? Or does it only apply to players currently under 440?

There is always going to be a larger base of people that want a less challenging, easy to learn game with instant gratification. Its just sucks for the minority who want a challenging, intricate (means more options), long-term grinder ... Unfortunately, Bort and friends will ultimately migrate to what the target market (money) wants.

This is fantastic and a long time coming.

Yeah, 4-way training a 3x enhanced over 90.51 shows +3.9% but only yields 3%. You need the 4th enhancement (which also displays as 3.9%) to get the 4% return.

weird. im getting 3.9% showing with a 30% enhance on my builds and i get 4% most of the time im pretty sure. value is over 91 too

Has in confirmed yet whether players currently later in their career will maintain the same number of plateau years that they currently have?

I'll be posting the conversion chart within the next couple of days. Just need to make sure the one we have is the "final" version per Bort.

Is the change in age relative to the level or the age of the dot at the end of the season?

If you do it by level you're screwing over everyone who boosts, especially before the first season. Those extra XP they gained will just be converted into extra ageing on their dot.


Strictly done by what their age at the end of this season.

IF this gets implimented for S24, does that mean dots hitting decline on that season are effectively still going to be in decline?

I cant be asked to work it out but a huge chunk of my current team is going to be 560 d/o by season end and I'm curious if they will still need to be replaced if I dont want decline dots?

If the dot is still in extended plateau, they will get the two extra seasons of extended plateau. If they are in decline, they will remain in decline. So it will matter where they are at the end of the season.

Catch, does this mean if you have one piece already, 12% reduces to 6%, and if you already have two pieces, 12% reduces to 3%?

Correct.

Is it possible to get Pee Wee and Rookie players to Level 16 by Day 33/34?

Would love to have the extra EQ for the playoffs.

Rookie players yes, Pee Wee players no (would have to boost end of previous season to get to level 16).
