I'll agree that it's getting better, and I do check these forums regularly. But if you don't check in on them daily or every other daily, even some of those threads become overwhelming.

That said, the new forums, etc. are better than what had to happen before.

RESET THOSE VAs.


So that people who have invested in them in the past aren't screwed and forced to pick something else, for the same reason your skills aren't all changed since the new archetypes are coming out.


They aren't screwd anyway. How on earth is someone that had Zone Specialist but doesn't have it anymore screwed?

You must really think I'm stupid to be stating that a HB that loses Scat Back is screwed as well. If he's running 48 catching and expecting to be a scat back by pumping up his catching ability through a single VA, he was just exploiting the system. He's not screwed.

I'm not dealing with this for now. Feel free to discuss. I'll check on this thread later...

Powerbacks will still have the option to choose Scat Back as their new extra SA.



however, because I now have this information, my FB can put 1 point in Scat Back VA (apparently more powerful than the ew SA is going to be) and still go for another extra SA. All because I read this htread just in time before spending all his Vet Points on HOaC. Some poor schmuck who doesn´t read this will be at an obvious disadvantage. That is the issue here.

Exactly. Amazing people would rather argue that this is "just fine" rather than see the real problem here.

I'm just tired of people saying "I'm not going to read threads that are stickied in a well labeled forum, and I'm angry because nobody told me this information."


C'mon people. Either read the threads, or deal with not being the first to know.

Hmm, maybe it would be nice to at least make an announcement that some VAs will be removed. Perhaps with a side note that, if you scour the relevant forums, you will find a lot more info on just what "removed" means.

Oh clearly. Don't mistake me for defending the system, just trying to explain it as best I can. Clearly getting a point in the VA is the way to go.

taurran and Kevin are not noobs, and if they're just finding this out, that should be a clue that this is a problem.

That doesn't change the fact that this is an exploit and needs to be changed.

And no, just because it's stickied in some forum doesn't mean it's common knowledge. You're insane if you think the average user read that sticky thread. That's what announcements and changelogs are for.

Pls try and address the topic: an exploit available to dots who have this information.

- Set up aeq tradein option (done, in testing)
- Get flash replays ready to go (done, in testing)
- Forum updates to go with new Pallow rules
- Figure out and work on new equipment and team facility system

There is no way I have the time to read every thread in these forums. They are always growing, so I say impossible.
