Here are some basic build numbers and deadlines to know during dot construction:

Season length in terms of days...-5 to zero preseason + 40 regular season & playoffs + 4 for end of season (49)

Plateau is Day...161

Peak is how many seasons...5 for now equaling 360 Days

Daily TP's...4

Off-season TP's...one lump sum of 36 TP (for the 9 days of the offseason, day 41 to day 0 of the following season)

Boosts available per season...5 boosts are available each season

Make up Boosts in final season entering Plateau (Regular and makeup if needed)...Up to 10 boosts will be available for dots when they hit plateau, so up to one full season of boosts can be missed and made up at the end, just like it used to be.

Plateau starts when dots hit 161 days old.

I'm not sure what the next one means, currently plateau is still scheduled to be 5 seasons (200 days), and a dot would go into decline when they hit 361 days old. That's a hot topic that is being debated here, with the hope that Bort will extend it, as I'm sure you've seen.

Dots get 4 TPs daily during the season (days 1-40). No TP are given days 41-44, nor for days -4 to day 0 of the next season, they are all given in one lump sum of 36 TP (see next line).

Off-season TP are given in one lump sum of 36 TP (for the 9 days of the offseason, day 41 to day 0 of the following season).

Off-season TPs are through day 0, dots will begin receiving 4 TP per day again on day 1 of the next season.

5 boosts are available each season.

Up to 10 boosts will be available for dots when they hit plateau, so up to one full season of boosts can be missed and made up at the end, just like it used to be.

Thank you Slughead. Hopefully the OP info is useful to everyone

Just for crystal clarity, in the first point on season length, it's 49 days, from preseason (5 days, -4 to 0), regular season (40 days, 1-40), and off-season (4 days, 41-44).

(up to 15 if you did not do early boosting [same as before])



Just added two things, KoB. (If I understood Bort correctly) Considering how many missed, either on purpose or by accident, their early boosts... then I thought it'd be important.

Your first addition is right, Theo, I struggled with a way to convey it and just sort of left it as KoB had put it originally. The only tweak from how it was before is that all dots created between day 40 and day 0 of the following season are now exactly the same as each other, and they all have 10 boosts (5 from the previous season, 5 from the current season), and the 5 previous season boosts will expire if not used by day 0.

Your second addition, though, is dead wrong. A dot will never get more than 10 boosts available at plateau, no matter how many they missed.

Do we know for certain when the 36 TP offseason dump will happen?

If it's day 41 vs day -4, that has pretty large implications for teams that decide to playoff boost. Going to be hurting the training value on a LOT more trains if it's 41 vs -4, vs the old system. Would be nice to know before it happens.

Edit: Just noticed that's still kind of up in the air, going by the VPB S100 thread. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

So, before the crash... if you didn't boost early... or you missed a season by accident... then you got your regular 3 boosts in Plateau... then 3 more to reach 79 when the last day of preseason... which totaled 6. But if you missed (or didn't do early) boosts then you got those as well. So you could get as many as 9 boosts.

I (was) am pretty sure that didn't change so if you get to Plateau and you early boosted you should get 5 + 5... so 10 boosts. But if you missed those early boosts (or missed a season by accident) then you would get those as well... meaning 5 + 5 + 5 = 15. I didn't see where Bort threw away being able to get your missed boosts at the end (as it was before)... so that's what I was saying there. Did I miss something? Because if that's true... those 'missed boosts' are NOT given at the end... then all those that didn't 'early boost' will have dots that end at level 74.

I dunno, maybe I've lost my mind. Can someone confirm that Theo it's right, that you could miss up to 6 boosts while building and make them up at plateau (making 9 levels up at plateau)? I don't remember it that way, but I never skipped boosts on purpose, so maybe I'm wrong.

All I can do is go by what Bort posted in that FAQ announcement-

Age 161+
Plateau age. No more XP or TP earned until plateau ends, just like the old system.
Boosts allowed: 10 at any time up to a maximum of 30 total career boosts

If you boost s0 you will be at 25 boosts come plateau so can only boost 5x more, only if you missed a season would you get 10

If you skip s0 boosts you get the 5+5, and cannot afford to miss a season (same as before)

You could only always catch up 6 in plateau https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4686077&page=1#42967189

Those that did not boost s0 before would have to boost 3x before d1 of plateau (usually Lvl 70->73) in order to use 6 catch ups to 79

If you did not boost s0 and also missed boosts in the climb you would not hit Lvl 79

So Bort did change how boosting at Plateau was done? Hmmmm. Did not see that. My bad.

I know for sure the old way you get 3x at Plateau. Happened to me a few times. Did 9 total boosts a few times... But you never got those 3 'final boosts' until after last day of preseason in Plateau. I always waited until day 1 then did them all at once. I simply reckoned Bort used the same system... just that it's 5 boosts now instead of 3.
