But saying she was hired because she's a trans POC is antithetical to being all for representation. You already explained that she's mediocre in the ring (it's fine-- not every wrestler should be amazing in the ring) and that she has a great personality. She is also a pretty good promo when given any chance, and she has a unique look in women's wrestling. Isn't that enough to be hired and be a prominent aspect to the women's division? I would encourage you to change your mindset on thinking that anyone anywhere was hired because of performative progressivism. It's kinda not cool.

Well, the game wouldn't properly simulate the Forbidden Door PPV anyway. It's a video game designed to be a video game mostly. The game would definitely underrate the effect of its quality, but also the player definitely overrates how it would be generally received by the global audience. One thing that I would try first is making your game a two player game with yourself as New Japan, setting up a talent trade, moving all your talent to AEW when playing as New Japan, doing the PPV-- maybe as a lesser show, and just removing the second player, since there's no way to just say "Hey... give me all your talent for one show." Also back up your save.

If you have a worker in your promotion that works multiple companies, and don't book them on your show, do they work the other show?

They're pretty awesome for skill growth, from what I can tell. However, booking twice as many shows as a normal TV schedule, for basically televised house shows, can get very old after a while, no matter how mindless booking them can be.

First real T-Verse save is also my first puro save. Here's my first DIASPORA Prime Judgement Some context: Sniper K is Zodiac and Hideki. Paint Pitch Black is heel Natsume Doi and Noyo. The very first month of my save saw RIKU winning the title, and later turning on Zodiac and forming his own stable with Bloodus, Talisman, Noyo, and Inokuma (who I've since fired). A couple months back I had Nori turn on Sairento due to jealousy for Sairento winning a title shot and Nori losing a title shot tournament. I'm using a face/heel split for the company, but only the true freaks are heel. It's hard to determine if Sairento is a freak or not but he's a face anyway for now. And the main event was tag team partners BURNING and SHIMIZU. SHIMIZU won the tournament for the title shot, and there's no bad blood or friction between them.

Michael Jackson popcorn gif when the Academy Awards, NASCAR, EPL, FIFA, NFL, NBA, NCAA, NHL, and the Olympics are made aware that their Intellectual Properties are used in the game.

Two minor bugs I have found... DIASPORA Path to Beyond The Limit 6 and DIASPORA Path to Destiny Awakening 13 are set as normal events instead of Tour shows.

Not really. There's outside events in mods, such as playoff basketball games and the Super Bowl, that can affect things, but what you're describing isn't in the game.

Been really loving the Thunderverse lately. I've only played the C-Verse since the beginning of TEW, but the attention to detail in the database and the amount of lore is unmatched. It truly feels that no corners were cut, and there's a constant outpouring of great ideas when developing the world. Wrespect is a Japanese-based stable that routinely fights each other like a training dojo? That's brilliant.

TEW 2004?

Depends on when you played the demo. If you were a day one beta release demo player, then yeah, the game has improved quite a lot. If you're a day one actual release release demo player, the game hasn't changed all that much. The game is a'ight. It's fun. But obviously playing these GreyDog games, you have to look the other way on certain things, and just sigh and move on. But I won't rant about that. There's some good mods out there. The 2013 Yes Mod is fantastic.

In a couple days you'll be asking how to fire someone.

I'm not exactly sure how severe the penalty would be, but I would say just do it. It's like the one of few actual ways you can role play being a bad booker in this game. The penalties would be put onto the angle and match ratings. Remember, the gimmick ratings taking into account face and heel doesn't exist in the game anymore.

Well because I wasn't really concerned about nerds like you and I that have spent years changing the images ourselves (and you, who have created the renders), but I was concerned for the people that do say "I bought TEW to play as WWE, but this Cornellverse thing seems pretty cool" or "Just bought TEW, time to check this out." The game should look nice straight out of the box. And the reason why I specifically brought up Scythe was because a very big part of this iteration of the Cornellverse was that Golden moved to SWF AND Scythe became a main eventer to start feuding with him. And in the game, he looks like a budget 1920s comic book villain. It should be the developers' obligation to make the game look the best it possibly can visually, not the consumer's job to spend hours going through a 63 page thread saving hundreds of images that the community made.

Oh, I think the pictures are the best part of it. The genius of all the renders being the same style is that you can easily pair wrestlers up in teams or stables and very frequently they just look right together. One of the worst parts of the Cornellverse is that there's so many different styles of renders. The default Scythe render is just an abomination (no offense to the creator-- it just doesn't work in the game currently).

If you run a puro promotion with a face/heel divide purely for organizational purposes, what are the disposition effects of that? I'm assuming the fans get tired of the gimmick, turn timings are turned on, foreshadowing turns is turned on, and workers are penalized for being the wrong disposition depending on the "Better As..." attributes. Anything else?

I'm not sure if this has been addressed, but something I noticed was that WCW PPV World War 3 is active in 1992, when it first appeared in 95.

But that's kinda what the OP was complaining about-- they find that there's a group of fighters that dominate and no one really rises up otherwise.

MAW stops being TCW's developmental. Really annoying.

Bump

I have a habit of putting midcard titles on main eventers. It's always annoying having to book around getting the title off them.

There's a few things in the current C-Verse that feel rushed. Besides things already mentioned, like more women, I wish there was more product diversity to build a world that feels unique and thoughtful, and the lack of debuting workers is disappointing. I think the next update, if there is a new game, of course, Adam should probably burn the C-Verse to the ground. Just Thanos Snap every major TEW 2004 star.

The mechanic is still in the game though, it's just buried in the Dirt Sheet notes.

Just use Tainted Finish and use your imagination. It doesn't matter. If you're having a wrestler actually turn heel, there's a Turn option to use.
