Jack Trades posted:What's wrong with your graphics? Are you playing Blood Bowl on your microwave or something? On a laptop yes. But the real reason I keep everything on lowest is because the pitch is much easier to see when everything is turned down or off. for example the annoying flames go away in the lovely chaos pitch, and on the snow field there is more brown and it's a flat white instead of all that glare. If I could just remove those two fields as playing surfaces I'd turn all the graphics back up.

I see. Personally I'm just turning off the shadows (because they're distracting AND bugged), grass (makes the ground blurry) and bloom (holy poo poo, my eyes!). Everything else is on max and I think it looks pretty that way.

I leave all the settings on max because I like my Bloodbowl to be pretty. How else can I appreciate Cyanide's lovely models?

Does this game still have the bug where if you have Hail Mary Pass and also Pass it'll use HMP unless you disable it in the skills preset menu?

I doubt you have to full disable it, but you probably have to turn prompt on. It's like that for all skills.

We eventually figured that one out. You have to click the skill twice to turn it off. The X should be red and not orange.

My copy of Chaos Edition patched when I logged in today. Didn't see a patch log though. I wonder what they fixed?

I often write release notes as part of my job. And those right there are some embarrassingly bad release notes. Thanks though. I was hoping they'd taken the opportunity to fix some long-standing serious bugs, but I guess they can't even manage to release a patch without having the patch release number be bugged.

Leperflesh posted:I often write release notes as part of my job. And those right there are some embarrassingly bad release notes. Honestly they've gone through two major releases without fixing the "Sometimes you can't put a player on the field even when you don't have enough players on the field" bug, so I don't think they're actually trying to work on the long-standing bugs at all. I mean hell even without knowing anything about the game code I can already kind of figure out why it's doing that, so I'd think the people who are actually working on the game would have had it fixed ages ago if it were actually a priority. (In case you're wondering, it seems to be a bug with using saved formations - if one of the players saved in the formation is unavailable to be placed for some reason, it still eats up their "Slot" in the formation, so the game thinks you have them on the field even though you obviously don't. Since you then can't REMOVE them from the field, you get stuck with less players than you should have)

Visa versa if you have a bunch of koed players and a deep bench sometimes the field will fill with your deep bench guys and then the recovered guys will be in your endzone, those can then be placed on the field and you'll have more then 11 players.

I really like punching opponents in the face as hard as I can but I also enjoy being able to pick up the ball. Is Chaos the only non-gimmick team that would fit my style or should I try playing some other team (I have CE)?

They're surprisingly agile and quick. Need to avoid the troll and focus on getting at least four rerolls early though.

Nurgle are pretty handy with their Pestigors having access to mutations with normal levels up. You can easily grab an extra arm or something to make them practically ag4 for ball-handling purposes, and chuck in block and foul appearance to make them a pain in the rear end to attack. It's also pretty handy having access to disturbing presence on all of your players. Completely flooding the pitch with anti-throwing/catching regions is very handy and they stack. It can make them a nightmare to play against with an agile team, as they're impossible to match up on in terms of strength and passing becomes problematic. Chuck in some tentacles or prehensile tails and they can't even use their dodging skills to get out of the disturbing presence area. The only real issue is no apothecary, but then the Pestigors get regen too. They're probably the best team to play with. Alternatively, Necromantic is pretty handy with fast players in ghouls and werewolves. The only issue there is you want to use your werewolves as attacking players so the temptation is to use ghouls as ball carriers, but with AV7 and no regen or apothecary they're pretty fragile. Still they can be turned into blodgers after only two TDs so that's handy. I won my most recent league with a Necromantic team. I pretty much used either werewolf or one of my ghouls as a ball carrier, whichever was convenient. It's very handy having Frenzy to blitz your ball-carier our of a tight spot. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Nov 5, 2012 |

The team you are really looking for is chaos pact, they handle the ball much better then chaos. But you can only play it in fumbbl. But if you are looking for a more bashy team then chaos that handles the ball just as well then chaos dwarves are pretty much it. Lizards probably score a lot easier then chaos but are not more bashy, just different.

Chaos can be really good at handling the ball if you build them for it with mutations. Despise what you might think murder isn't the only way to build chaos and you don't need claw, mighty blow, piling on, etc. on all your players. You can get guys with two heads, two arms, big hand and other fun skills to do dumb elfy poo poo. They won't be good at as elves, obviously, but it isn't impossible.

I had a really weird bug with my first installation of CE. My ork campaign team only ever got three different maps to play on without fail. I had to reinstall and wipe the config folder in my documents to get it to behave normally so I can finally play something other than that goddamn snow map

Is there a way to choose not to use Multiple Block in this game? According to the description you don't have to use it, but whenever I tell my dude to attack one guy and he's standing next to a any others, it just immediately uses multiple block even if it'll put me at 2 dice against.

Remember order of operations, it's probably the most important thing. 1. Free moves (no dodges required) and stand up fallen players. 2. Mark the ball. (stand a guy next to it if possible). 3. Two dice blocks on guys with block, dodge with elves. 4. Get the ball, 1 dice blocks, 2 dice blocks on guys without block etc. 5. 1 dice blocks without block generally not even worth it, end turn.

Admittedly the game does a bad job of showing you what's what if you're new. Some sort of optional action-preview showing what dice and rolls are involved before confirming an action, but eh, whatever. Does the FUMBBL client do a better job of showing what goes on in terms of dice? I haven't played despite having an account because of time issues and general amusement at the game telling you, "Hey, join the academy if you're new!" and looking in the academy forums there's all of 5 threads that have been posted in in the last 3 years meaning Academy has been closed for...years?
