  2. I completely get what you are saying! I left a very comfortable (restaurant management) job in 2015 after 10 years because I couldn't bare to do it anymore. I worked retail part time to supplement myself while I taught myself how to video edit. I'm proud to say I only work that retail job one day a week now and its only for the purpose of getting out of the house rather than a necessity because I'm now doing what I love full time.

  4. Super Showdown 2018 (the show with HHH vs Taker) was in Australia, not Saudi Arabia. For the most part in October, it's not burning hot in Melbourne during that month.

     

    Also, just look at Taker's matches over the last 5 years. Most of the time his opponent has to carry him, and if the match lasts longer than 5 minutes, it gets worse. His match with Cena at Mania 34 had the decency to be a short and quick affair. His bout with HHH in October later that year went a dreadful 25 minutes, in fair temperatures.

     

    So heat probably doesn't have much to do with all of Taker's poor performances. His age, does.

     

    Add time decline to that and that is what you are witnessing.

     

    I'm not taking issue that he is in decline that part we seem to be both in agreement. I'm not even taking issue with him needing to be carried at this point because he shouldn't be in the ring. What I take issue with is the original point of you saying he has 0 stamina. That part is not accurate....is it low yes but 0 is an exaggeration.

  5. In his Super Showdown 2018 match with HHH, he practically hobbled around ringside. By the end of that catastrophe, he looked like he could barely breath.

     

    Looked like a fight at a nursing home, even complete with lawn chairs.

     

    You keep referencing Saudia Arabia shows where the building is a 100 plus degrees.... I don't even step outside my house in those temperatures let alone attempt to wrestle in them. Add time decline to that and that is what you are witnessing.

  6. <p>So was the plan all along to rebrand Fog of War into scouting....? If that's the case I'm a bit tired of getting worked into shoots on here....</p><p> </p><p>

    It sounds like Scouting is exactly what I myself and others have been clamoring for on here.</p><p> </p><p>

    As far as the misstatement about Technical it makes even less sense to combine them after that....</p><p> </p><p>

    Edit: After a minute or two of reflection it has dawned on me that you didn't even have to lump in the announcement that you were getting rid of FOW until you were ready to announce Scouting....</p>

  7. If you ever thought fog of war added any challenge to the game you probably were playing either so suboptimal it doesn’t make a difference whether you do or you don’t, or you play with so many crutches it also doesn’t matter whether you do or you don’t.

     

    Largely, anyone who plays mods is a classic example, as almost every historical mod has cartoonishly overpowered workers which render anything beyond a roleplaying experience completely moot.

     

     

    But I’m not here to really argue your opinion on the game. More to dissuade any potential sentiment which may reflect a knee jerk reaction to change the system. Since I’m pretty convinced people are being intentionally hyperbolic in order to enact unnecessary changes they want, much like the National battle system change.

     

     

     

    Especially given that almost every relevant worker for the last 2 entries has been unaffected by Fog entirely because they have enough experience to be fully scoutable on game start, it’s very hard for me to take these “dealbreaker” complaints as genuine.

     

    Is it really necessary to quote and address almost every person that has a different opinion than you? We are fully aware you indifferent about FOW and love combining Technical stats.

  8. This is very useful if you're debating who to push, who to sign, etc. As this and the precise searching that was announced yesterday wouldn't be viable if different workers are rated in different ways, this means that the fog of war system is removed and so you'll always see ratings in a 0-100 format. I don't really like to remove features, but as skill searching and comparison were two of the most requested additions and fog of war has never been particularly popular, I think this this change will have a positive effect overall.

     

    I think based on the response that alot of people have voiced today that it might've been wrong to assume that. You could just limit those search mechanics to the grades that is discovered. You could also add the vauge terms such as Excellent, Very Good ect. to include the ones you haven't.

     

    Does this also mean that letter grades are removed as well?

  9. Honestly fog of war needed slight improvements not to be removed all together. It was crazy when physical appearance stats had just as much length to grind as someone's top row stats. This is one of the things that made road to glory games challenging in the early stages. Besides fog of war already had a toggle that you can turn on and off. The players that didn't like didn't use it.
  10. As per Adam the game already just took the higher value so we're not losing anything.

     

    Sounds like that is what he should've fixed instead. Under that logic we should be killing off all of the Brawling stats and Ariel stats as well. Instead of the game just "choosing the best number" it should be choosing all of the numbers and weight it best vs least. Give priority to the best stat and factor in how much the minor weigh it down. That way a player that Stacks 75 in Chain wrestling but leaves submission at a 0 wouldn't be tearing down the house every match because that would never be the case. A chain wrestler that transitions into a John Cena STF would look incredibly dumb. While a worker like Rey Mysterio who is a great chain wrestler but passable in the submission department wouldn't be hurt nearly as bad.

  11. I hate to always sound like a negative nancy but I have to disagree with combining all of the technical skills together. Combining them together pretty much states that all technical guys have the same match which is not the case at all.

     

    An Eddie Guerrero Technical Masterclass looks radically different than a Kurt Angle Technical Masterclass. Eddie would be considered the chain wrestling transition guy who has very fluid movements and counters while Kurt would be the submission example and more mat oriented.

     

    While it is true that either guy could perform the opposite role they would be considered more of a jack in that category rather than an ACE.

     

    I wouldn't debate that mat wrestling could be phased out because that is literately the art of chain wrestling into holds and submissions on the ground. Its pretty much a combination of both skills.

     

    I wouldn't mind Star Quality and Charsisma to be merged because there is not one example of someone having high star quality but not having charisma to go along with it.

    General diary comments/questions/critiques: This is a hard card for me to predict because I can potentially see where you are moving your chess pieces but they could easily go the other way.

  14. <p>Who will win the 2004 Ultimate Fan Series?</p><p>

    (Worth three points in the next prediction contest)</p><p>

    <strong>K-Nections</strong> I have to have faith in my own team!</p><p> </p><p>

    BONUS: What promotion will Steve Austin sign with? (1 point)</p><p>

    <strong>WWF</strong> just to be different from everyone else</p>

  15. <p>I can't tell what is more impressive? True Heroes pulling a 99 out of Made in Italy or Dustin pulling a 100 out of Matt Hardy <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

    Dustin has been on a legendary run though!</p>
