    Super Macho Man: Thanks. Truth to be told I had my doubts this part of the tournament would be a good career move for me, but my manager kept telling me "just grab the guy and whatever you do don't let go". "Use your pressure game, the ropes is the new floor" he said. I'm sure you are gonna knock some guys out the coming rounds BG, you are one of the top strikers here so after this fight I feel I can take on anyone.

  2. I think the whole skill system is a bit fundamentally flawed and that knees/elbows were added as separate skills makes it even more so. But then we have the rest of the game built on top of this system including the fight engine which is the shining star of this whole game. This is a tough one and any change in fight engine balance need to be considered carefully, because what we have right now works despite the flaws.

    I see what RegularJohn want to do but I'm not sure this change would result in the intended effect.

    I'll take a closer look at the discussion above but perhaps in the same vein, it should be harder - if not impossible - to become Elite across the board.

    for example if you are Elite++ in Conditioning it should be nearly impossible to become Elite++ in Strength; or if you are Elite in Boxing then your stance, head movement and footwork should make it nearly impossible to become Elite in Muay Thai.

  4. Different locations does have some game-design merit even if I wish it was better. The 3 days wait period for example is sometimes the reason I buy from one company over another. It does add a little bit of strategy to where you open a company or org. I think we can live with how it is for now and maybe some day have the location system improved instead of removed. Who knows, maybe the player base will even grow as the game gets modernized and we will have enough playerbase again to have local fight scenes etc become meaningful again.

  5. The QFC matchups are a bit random, but yes it is highly likely you will be crushed by a fighter with way better stats in level 2.. unless you get lucky enough to get another new player venturing into the shark-infested waters of level 2 at the same time.

    So find an org as close to your fighters id level as you can and join that one instead. Any good org matchmaker will try to find you opponents around your own level.

    Is FinnFighters good enough for you Mac?

    They better be ready for the MMA version of Ruotsi-ottelu if they sign up for this.

  7. There are actually people who call it Brabo choke for no-gi as well, and possibly a few slightly different definitions floating around. It's not exactly as if there is a naming standard enforced in the sport. Still replacing it with the more widely used Darce choke would make sense. TWGC is supposed to more or less be ADCC I think, so no-gi.

    Something even more silly is the text lines that mention someone wearing gloves or faking a punch that can appear for grappling.

  8. Little Death Squad would be in if this happens. But we need some of the big alliances there too, no fun if they just run away and hide when we come out to play 😛

  9. I think newspaper format is dead. But something more blog or feed-like with categories sounds interesting. Could be a mix as you say of editorial, player or auto-generated going into various categories. But the real nice thing would be if you could set what categories or tags you are interested in seeing or get notifications about.

    Things like who wins the alliance pyramid league every month should become an automated news item, instead of like just recently when people have to ask in the league chat who won last month.

    Super Macho Man: Eh, the "reward" for winning the grappling phase is to be first out against the top striker? And we are supposed to actually hit each other now? Eh, I'm cool with that of course.. but there is something completely unrelated I have to tell you. I accidentally grabbed birdmans hair at one point in our match which is an illegal move.. trust me I know all about it from people not being able to keep their hand away from my beautiful mane.. but anyway as I'm all about sportsmanship I'm coming out to say as it is.. and accept my DQ and transfer to the other group.

  11. Mike always solved such issues quickly for both me and all others I heard mentioning it. I don't know how they split things between them now and if it was me I'd probably just message Mike again. He always prioritized payment issues as far as I know.
