Nephrinn Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The requirements are hidden (although can be seen via the editor). There's no need for them to be displayed, as there's simply no sense in the user going through a list matching them up when he can simply use the tick box provided in the filter to eliminate any gimmicks that don't match up. Ah, I see. And I didn't even know you could sort them out with the filter like that. Very helpful, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedave Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I just booked my first PPV with SWF and got an A grade but i checked my buy rates and it was 1.58. Now that seems to low to me, Is this some kind of error? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicaddict Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi there, I am quite a newbie to this game, so I have a question. I am intending to run BSC and managed to get E+, D-, D-, D- for four two-hour weekly events that I held. I managed to climb to E- in popularity with that shows, but noticed that I can't afford to run weekly events like that. Will I gain in popularity the same way, when running one-hour shows instead of two, or should I stick to one monthly event and make that a three-hour show, maybe? Just not sure, how the production costs and sponsorship apply to that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stennick Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 So you can sign written deals at Cult and I know you need atleast 10 mil in the bank what are the other requirements because I can't find even people with amost no overness willing to sign a written.

FlameSnoopy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 So you can sign written deals at Cult and I know you need atleast 10 mil in the bank what are the other requirements because I can't find even people with amost no overness willing to sign a written. From Dev Journal: #24: Sneaking Written Deals New to TEW2010 will be the ability of Cult-sized promotions to sign workers to written deals, something that used to only be available to National-size and above. However, only promotions that are an "attractive prospect" to the worker in question will be able to achieve this. To qualify as an "attractive prospect", a promotion must pass three tests. First, they must be financially stable - they must have a minimum of $7,000,000 in the bank. Secondly, they must be going places - they must have high momentum. Thirdly, the worker must like the feel of the place - this is a slightly more complex calculation where he will examine all the relationships that he has with members of the current roster and decide whether it would be a positive atmosphere or not. The user's Negotiation talent also comes into play here, as he can "talk up" the locker room to increase the chance of the worker wanting to come. If all three of those tests are passed, the worker will be willing to accept a written deal. This of course makes dirty tricks on Cult-level promotions slightly strategic, as pulling a stunt that lowers their momentum could conceivably stop them getting the advantage of being able to start offering exclusive deals. Haven't personally tested the Sneaking Written Deal -addition yet, so I don't know how hard it is to get them to actually sign, but I think it should be hard.

Stennick Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Another stupid question with drag and drop booking. I must be mis understanding I have the two drop down boxes to my left and then on the right I have the list of all the workers along with their pictures. I thought I was supposed to drag them from the right into the boxes on the left. So could someone tell me how to drag and drop because I seem to be stupid today.

FINisher Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It is! Click on the name, then drag the name to the left. It took me a while to get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEWFan Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yes, you need to click on the worker once, until you can see his picture/info and then hold and drag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyGarner Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 What do the special sets, celebrities, etc do for events? For 5,000,000 an A list celebrity better do quite a bit. Is Risque worth it at heavy or above? I've never noticed grade improvements between risky angles or matches and not but is it worth it losing so many staple workers?

randomfreeze Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 How does a mask gain prestige? Is it by the amount of time worn, does it increase quicker if the person who wears the mask has better matches/segments, wins titles, etc? Couldn't find the answer in the help file.

crayon Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Im not sure but i realy hope the 5mill price tag has a significant + effect on the prestige of a PPV ... I'm guessing it may not do that much, but is more for players who end up with ridiculous amounts of money to spend. And I guess realistically speaking, WWE probably ends up spending a fair few million for their A list celebs (of which they probably don't have as many as they do B list or B+ list), but I wouldn't think they'd necessarily have a significant effect on prestige. All conjecture at this stage though. I'm sure someone who actually knows the game will chime in and tell me i'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering the same thing. I would guess the worker getting over would be key in it gaining prestige. A promotion-owned mask that it is worn by a succession of jobbers who never really do anything of note wouldn't be particularly prestigious, would it?

vicaddict Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Anyone knows how the personal relationships develop? Especially between the user avatar and workers? I know, firing people makes them enemies sometimes, but how do friendships develop? Granting them titles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All conjecture at this stage though. I'm sure someone who actually knows the game will chime in and tell me i'm wrong All very true , but in some cases a "star" can make a wrestlemania for example, take the rock and wrestling connection deal with Cyndi Lauper, that certainly added one hell of alot of prestige to the overall deal that we now know as Mania. As we can see Celebs can tank aswell in a big way , but when it comes to talking about how a celebs presents at an event can increase the "prestige" of said event via changing the general publics perception of said event and as such leading to more mainstream acceptance and success, i dont think their is any question in my mind atleast that this should have some effect on event % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDE71 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Is Stale Character someone needing a turn? Also, this is in a fed with no Heel/Face divide. Does this basically mean that heels/faces are needed, but that there is no penalty when heels wrestle heels and faces wrestle faces? Lastly, with no heel/face divide, should most of the matches still be Heel VS Face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praguepride Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Is Stale Character someone needing a turn? Correct. Gimmicks die after awhile, but not if you disable that option. Also, this is in a fed with no Heel/Face divide. Does this basically mean that heels/faces are needed, but that there is no penalty when heels wrestle heels and faces wrestle faces? Also correct. If the place requires gimmicks you'll need to match up heel performers with heel gimmicks, but otherwise anyone can wrestle anyone else. Lastly, with no heel/face divide, should most of the matches still be Heel VS Face? Think of it as a roster full of tweeners. Nobody is a "good guy" or "bad guy" they're just different guys with different tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A promotion-owned mask that it is worn by a succession of jobbers who never really do anything of note wouldn't be particularly prestigious, would it? Your example definiately makes sense. But if a masks prestige goes up solely based on how long the worker wears the mask...you could have a guy that has jobbed for five years in your company with a mask be more valuable than someone who has only been around three years but skyrocketed to the top of the company. Or, maybe a legacy mask that already has a high presitge was passed down to a relative but it automacially starts at zero because the worker hasn't been wrestling with it. Both seems off to me. I don't think length of time wearing the mask or popularity should solely be the only thing that determines the prestige. It should be some combination...but it already could be and I just don't know how the system works. I was hoping someone developing the game noticed a trend or if I was missing the actual variables printed somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Mask prestige goes up over time, but in order to get the prestige up to the higher levels the worker underneath the mask needs to be very successful. Mask prestige will also go up faster for a worker higher up the card than for a jobber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomfreeze Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Well that seems...perfect lol. Thanks Derek. While this is in my head...can't believe Vengenace isn't wearing a mask and it's just face paint. Was I the only one that thought it was a mask? Craziness.

Simply being based on length of time would be ignoring that what's being done by that worker should be important. Thanks derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that I also thought it was a mask, certainly while it was the all white appearance anyways since I always thought it looked more like a mask. Now that I know it isn't, I'm gonna have a few less angles for him when I get around to playing as the SWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDE71 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I've been playing ACPW multiple months and I have 2 observations that are bothering me. I hope you can help me figure out what I need to do to be relaxed. 1. They are a local company and have 3 titles(1 Main, 2 Midcard). Invariably a holder of the Midcard titles are Main Eventers. 2. They are a company that only hires LW and smaller workers. Therefore, I assumed I would need to run some High Spot based matches. However, the only High Spot matches in the database are Cult/International restricted. How would you specifically create a Local/Small style High Spot match? Now one other question. As ACPW, what style of matches would you run most if you didn't run High Spot based matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
