Warrior General Games

I'd bet if Bort actually ran a poll about VA removal, he would be shocked by how overwhelming the response in favor of taking them out would be. He'll never do that, and he'll never remove them, but if he did his game might improve dramatically overnight and everybody would love him again. Oh well, them's the breaks I guess.

Not hating on anyone who went with it, but I think it's a crock of shit VA meant for pussies who can't compete. So yea, I invested in it too.

Personally I can't stand computer assistance in any game I play. I remember the first time I dealt with it was playing head-to-head in an not so well known arcade game called "Pigskin". If you remember the game "Arch Rivals," this was basically the football game version of that. Anyway, when you got up by more than a few TD's in the second half, the other team would get "The troll" or something to that effect which was basically a god version of the little players that ran around... he was damn near impossible to tackle, if you got into a brawl with him your player was going to come out dead... faster and quicker than everyone else. Basically with him on the field the tides would turn until the other team caught back up or passed the winning team, at which point that team would get their version of the troll and back to the status quo. Don't even get me started with the head-to-head racing games that used it.

I used to turn computer assistance on every console game I'd play, first thing. If I'm going to lose, then let me lose and get better while trying.

What cracks me up is that the people who put the VA's together decided they needed to nerf the attribute VA's because 1% to one stat was too powerful... so let's go ahead and make a VA that gives 2% to EVERY stat? So stats that are at the 4:1 cap get +20 added to them? Oh yea, that's a brilliant move right there.

To me this is probably the dumbest thing that I've ever seen in this game. I understand the need not to let games get out of hand with the lopsided scores, but this is probably the worst idea I've ever seen to combat that.

Oh the irony!

oh dear ...

I don't think VAs are the problem. The problem is Bort's absolute lack of foresight in determining what is balanced and what is not. He's demonstrated this in almost every facet of the game.

Wow... foresight lacking? Really? Not around here?!? Right?

true, but the VAs take the cake. Many are horribly underpowered, Some are overpowered, and only a small subset actually augment the players' build.

That's not the VAs fault. When I came up with the concept, I had nothing in mind like the cluster f*** bort turned it into. He should have just let me come up with the implementation.

VAs were absolutely a great idea....but there is just no balance to them.

You mean great in theory but poorly executed?! Why that's a staple of GLB!

That was easy.

Drifter for new VA designer.

(ps: we arent killing the messenger, just the implementer )

nor does any of this take away from your win OFG. Many of us have pretty much been on the anti-VA bandwagon for about 2 seasons.

Yup pretty much.

I mean this game is so well balanced that you basically have to forfeit the first 4-5 seasons of your player's career just to build a competitive player.

All hail Drago the prophet.

/missing an Islam joke

Yep, Drago was completely right. This game is shit.
