As more entries are released, obviously the big picture will make sense. I just hope something was planned for that aspect of booking. I'd rather sort matches by enhancement and openers as opposed to "unknowns". It would just be a turn off to me. And yes if that is the case, setting divisions would be a work around, but that would add a bunch of unnecessary work and filtering. Like I said, I'm sure eventually my questions will be answered with a journal entry. It could be a month from now or 6 months from now. Who knows. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/confused.png.d4a8e6b6eab0c67698b911fb041c0ed1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Small update today, but I actually love that small touch very much. It's the little things.

[shawn michaels]

Great little announcement today. Shows Adam has been listening to our pet peeves. I still hope the main screen/website is interactive and similar to EWR's. Here is hoping.

[Peter.1986]

Yep today’s entry is welcomed by me as someone who play historical mods and gernerally 90’s to 00’s

[Mammoth]

As someone who likes to go way, way back, I love today's feature. Is this something that has to be set in the modification or will the game - based on the modifications start date - choose the screen for you?

The game automatically chooses the appropriate screen based on the in-game date.

[dvdWarrior]

May be a cosmetic feature, but it's actually something I've wanted in the game for a while. Always thought it was a little weird to see news on a website, (complete with the occasional reference to the Twitter) back in the 1980s or early 90s.

 

Plus, nostalgia is pretty much my drug of choice, so... yeah.

 

This is a feature of which I very much approve.

<p>I actually think this is bigger than the perception update. It's great.</p><p> </p><p>

I HATED seeing website stuff when I played an 80s mod. I just broke the connection for me.</p><p> </p><p>

This is huge and great and I love it.</p>

[Sudo_Nym]

The big problem is that all the sorting is done by computer, so if you're in a newsletter look, you won't be able to sort the workers at all, which is going to be massively inconvenient. I hope Adam has a solution ready for that.

[Sudo_Nym]

Right, but it'll break immersion if you're looking at an old-timey ragsheet and then switch to your desktop to look up wrestlers. It only stands to reason that if you're playing in an older era, you'd have to scout wrestlers using early technology, which means you shouldn't be able to sort. So I understand why Adam is removing the ability to sort from that era, but I'm eager to see the announcement for what's going to replace it.

[WCGreyghost]

Not sure how the game decides when I am playing. I usually play a heavily edited/customised version of either the DOTT or WOTI mods, and don't pay much attention to whatever date the game assigns...but I think most of those games start on Monday, Week 1, Current Year...I think if I wanted to use a different skin, I'd probably have to set it manually.

So I'm curious where you're going to be able to locate new talent if you don't have access to the internet or whatever. Is it all just word of mouth? And will you be able to filter stats at all? That's all part of the immersion that Adam was talking about, so it stands to reason.</p><p> </p><p> I mean, Verne Gagne didn't get to go on the internet and look up new talent; he had to train guys in his barn or watch tapes from other promotions or whatever. If he's making a talent trade for Japan guys, he has to take Baba's word for it. He didn't get to go to the Talent page and sort by psychology or whatever.</p>

[Derek B]

<p>Sudo, you're down the rabbit hole with a misinterpretation of the feature here. It's literally just the main page having era an era appropriate skin and technological references.</p><p> </p><p>

No features will be affected by what has been announced. As the name of the feature said, it's just a cosmetic thing to help immersion. Hope that clears things up for you, and prevents things being derailed here. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

[Sudo_Nym]

Right, it's fixing the technological refences, specifically for the purposes of immersion. So if you're in an era where internet doesn't exist, you won't be able to access it. I just want to know what gameplay looks like if you're playing in an era without computers, is all. I'm sure Adam has already thought of something, though, so there'll be an entry about it, eventually. I'm actually pretty excited to try playing "territorial style", as it were.

[Sudo_Nym]

That doesn't make any sense. All the workers are clearly sorted into databases, which certainly implies computers. And the fact that you can access workers, even across the planet that you would have no way of knowing personally clearly indicates an internet, neither of which should exist if we're going to update the game to remove inappropriate technological references.
