what additions would there be, it would be the EXACT same as the GLB lOriginally posted by greengoose

yes

Anyone else notice that the people that are against this have barely built any dots that have reached plateau?

It has been that way since this thread started. I wonder how many of those same people would change their tune after playing GLB for a long time. If anything a builder GIVES YOU MORE TO DO ON THIS SITE, and to say a builder means more automation is insane. It means you spend more time thinking about your dot and what you want him to be.

Yeah, silly us for wanting to play this game instead of sitting around planning to play this game. The math nerds have taken the joy out of playing this game.

i still +1 this suggestion, but for different reasons.

like Dub, i hate like that this sim has evolved into math builds in order to compete. GLB is stupid as hell for letting it morph into this.

but since it is what it is now...we might as well have a player builder. maybe that will inspire some to experiment with different builds and come up with new ideas that could work for their system and not have to wait 2yrs and X amount of wasted $$ to get an idea of what that said player might look like.

everyone uses the script anyway.

Might as well make it part of the site.

Nope, some of us actually still play the game instead of scripting everything.

This is why I've always hated online games. The only reason I came here was it was football related (lol I know). I've been here this long due to the money I invested upfront.
Super serious nerdboy gamers would probably think fishing with a rod and reel is boring. "Why waste your time with rod and reel when you can throw explosives into the lake and then use a huge net to dip the fish out? Would take less time to do it this way." I feel sorry for you, tbh. Your life must be hell if you're always trying to fast forward through everything and can't enjoy life one day at a time.

Agreed, I never have used it, would rather just play the game the way it's meant to be played. My players get where they get and that's fine. Not really interested in the perfect math equation for a player. I would think that would be pretty boring myself.

Have to admit explosives sound fun.

Still -1 to OP though.

+1, maybe offer it as something you buy with flex. That way you can choose if you want it or not.

^ That...

Find the GM script and use it. Let the coders spend time on better things.

does not take a lot of time to code something that is already coded in the player level up screen lol.

You would not have to use it, no reason to increase to cost right?

Actually, I think input from people newer to the game can be just as valuable as people who have been playing it for years. The fact that this game has turned into a math quiz is because of people like 'us' (both of us signed up in 2008) who are so invested in it that we have no idea how much fun this can be for new players ... which might be why a decent amount of new players aren't signing up.

I actually referred more than a few people to the game and most backed away because of how much work it looked like it was. When I joined back in 2008, it all just looked like a cool, fun, interesting game. For newbies, it's a ton of work they don't seem to be interested in doing.

The VPB would just be the appearance of 'that much more work' to do to have ... fun.

This game is drowning itself in minutia.

Je suis un vocal Noob. I use the VPB from time to time. No objection to it. I don't really see why we'd want GLB to invest time in making an official version though. Isn't the third party version good enough anyway? But whichever.

I have to agree with SlashNDash above, though: the game looks like (and is) more and more like work. Maths, player-builders, methods, minutiae, endless pages of debate over getting that extra fraction of a %. That's what new players come here and see, for the most part. It's hardly surprising that most don't stick around. Having an up-front official VPB might possibly only increase that impression that the game is about tinkering around with theoretical builds, and then several seasons of waiting it out until your player can finally round out his or her build and be enjoyable.
