How? Your assertion; back it up or it's worthless.


You test out and implement a search function that works and I'll show you most of the agents in this thread knew exactly what I did.

KK, so there's nothing to the assertion, and therefore no reason not to work out some kinda deal for those dots that came up a little short on the timeline.

If you boost early and often you are at a disadvantage to equally built equal level dots that do not.

TRUE or FALSE? If false explain why.

How does this relate to the 440 day cut-off implemented nearly a year after these dots were created?

I don't think that anybody is disputing the fact that day 41 players should have some sort of benefit. I think most are saying that all players need to be able to reach level 72 by the end of their career for the good of the game.

I think that the past 2 or 3 seasons of changes have been heavily directed at reducing or eliminating any benefit from ssb or creating a player on day 31. Most of their advantages have been cut short already. There is no need to keep pounding builds into the ground because they were not created in the offseason.

Well, doesn't dpride have a ton of dots that were d31?


I have dots at d31 40 all over, alot of my 31s will hit 72 already- but don't mistake my dots with the talented pool around my dots- my biggest fear is we get into a situation where 2-3 seasons down the road every dot that doesn't have the ability to hit 72 under this current structure will be retired.,

If you boost early and often you are at a disadvantage to equally built equal level dots that do not, until you hit level 72.

Please oh please someone disprove this, and I'll agree to your silly proposition.

The way boosting is done is utterly fucking stupid. This is because it's based on seasons, but the limiters are based on age... two totally different mechanics. Make boosts based on player age or make boosts based on seasons (yet only allow player creation during certain windows) or just allow people to boost to max level during their plateau. Do away with all this convoluted bullshit and let's start making GLB intuitive FFS.

As for the people calling building on day 31 or whatever an exploit... lol, it's no more of an exploit to build on day -8 and get 36 boosts... the difference is that if Bort put a hard limit on the number of boosts at 33, you would be crying about how it's not fair that people can create on day 31 and get in extra training. We're all at the mercy of Bort's whims, just be thankful that we're asking to be brought up to par and not asking to nerf your exploit (to bring you down to our handicap).

It's ridiculous that creation dates aren't balanced... you're p much screwed no matter what you do, if you do not create on day -8... create day 31 and boost, you lose ALGs. Create day 31 and do not boost, you miss out on level 72 EQ. It's pretty obvious that day -8 is now clearly the best creation date... It's obviously the player's fault for GLB's piss poor communication for 14 or so seasons though, amirite?

Vas cancel out that advantage and dots who never miss a boost will end at 74, so allowing dots to hit 72 would give the advantage of more vas, and 1-2 levels which would negate that advantage you're referring too

IMO

The plateau change is a big step but it is incomplete without the ability for all players to reach level 72.

I agree, only because we will see a huge amount of dots that don't have that ability retiring, for me it will be as simple as if dot A doesn't have the ability to hit 72 he will be retired no questions asked, and that is a game problem IMO

This hasn't been put forward as an upcoming game change and is more of a suggestion. Also, i am tired of dealing with all of you reporting each other because you can't be civil and keep petty name-calling out of it.

There is already a suggestion going on right now for this very thing.
