And if you fall behind, forget it.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I decided to challenge hbionic and put my 10 streak on the line.

Let's just say I think this game needs a few tweaks to have staying power.  I won't be challenging someone I'm not sure I can beat for a while now.

[Cerevant]

The problem is that if I make it regen faster, you will get further behind faster.

If I remove negative impact of play, once you are behind someone, you are stuck behind them for good unless they stop playing.

The goal is to make the game fun, not leveling. Well...we'll see what I can come up with this week. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Also, there needs to be a much sexier advantage to not staying in the training room...

[Diomedes]

preferably one that's retroactive

[hbionic]

I've trained countless times now and none of my stats go up. Am I capped off? I'm not even number one in most stats....what's the best way to increase stats?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You must have a huge lead in defense.  I've never been able to make #1 there, and every single time I try to train it, I get zero.

[Cerevant]

No caps - you are down to a 16% chance of going up in your lowest stat (84).  You are just unlucky.  Perhaps I'll put an indicator of what you "rolled" so you can see that it is working.

I'm going to work on a major update this week, so don't expect any big changes right away.  This code is a spaghetti mess, and I need to gut a good bit of it to make it maintainable.  I also need to change the database field names so I can stop translating back and forth in my head. 

In the meantime, I think I'm going to code it to kick people out of the training room when their injuries clear.  Its only fair

[Sgt PSN]

I decided to challenge Cerevant to a game because everyone else is stuck in the training room.  Here's what happened:

Don't be messin with the boss, or he'll change his stats and kick your butt.

ha!  Hoyda.   

[SunMo]

i didn't laugh the first time somebody posted that

[Sgt PSN]

Maybe the 3rd time's a charm then. 

Don't be messin with the boss, or he'll change his stats and kick your butt.

[Sgt PSN]

I've won 12 games in a row by my streak stopped at 10.  Does that get bigger as I "level  up?"......kind of like Will on FC?  Or is 10 the absolute max? 

[hbionic]

10 is max.
