Addicted to Cyanide Bloodbowl single player mode
Am I completely failed bloodbowler when I say that lately I've been playing Legendary Edition in single player mode for many many many times? I know the AI is not that great, but I like it anyway. It will punish if played sloppily.
Once I tried finding a real person to play against but could not find any and after that have not even tried. I don't like waiting for a suitable opponent to arrive. AI is always there for me.

Playing tabletop after Cyanide confuses the hell out of me. I can never understand why in real life on the last turn opponents don't run back towards their own endzone and start caging up!

Uh, whatever floats your boat man. Just don't let it cause your skills to atrophy too much.

Re: Addicted to Cyanide Bloodbowl single player mode
Today I played my first multiplayer match! Funny thing was that my opponent was very, very much experienced than me, but after I had pounded a few of his men off the pitch, he abandonded the match! Maybe I am more dangerous than I thought, hehe.
AND after the game I asked in the community chat if abandoning matches is common or not, the guy himself was one of the people answering to me! Then I asked what happened. No reply.
I don't mind he leaving the match, but I find that quite weird.
The amount of my opponents leaving matches half-way is now 100%.
(Btw, it sucks that LE seems to crash when switching to Windows. In single player mode I do it all the time without much problems. Some, but not much.)

Come join Forum Open League. Abandoning via the options menu is still allowed, but there are far fewer of those than in other leagues. We also police for cheating and disconnecting.

Re: Addicted to Cyanide Bloodbowl single player mode
send them a little note telling them that you only improve by being beaten. I had a guy abandon once after the first block he threw. double skulls, double skulls, ko abandon.
On the up side he didn't waste too much of my time.
As dode says find a league. I play in a casual one with guys who aren't anal about rolling on every week. We have lives unfortunately.

It was FOL.
Had another match. It went well up to halfway second period, I was losing by 0-2 when opponent messaged that he cannot move his players or anything. Connection was lost a couple of time and then he disappeared.
Still 100% unfinished games. Can't wait to see what happens next time.

Re: Addicted to Cyanide Bloodbowl single player mode
Was it a disconnect? If it was and it was FOL then why didn't you report it? I have to be informed of these things in order to police them. Details of how are on the FOL thread in the Cyanide forum.

Ok. I was not aware of this.dode74 wrote:Was it a disconnect? If it was and it was FOL then why didn't you report it? I have to be informed of these things in order to police them. Details of how are on the FOL thread in the Cyanide forum.
I tried just to register to Cyanide forum, but the Captcha image was always so confusing that I did not get the letters right. Then I got this: "You have exceeded the maximum number of registration attempts for this session. Please try again later."
Have to try again later, I guess.
Btw, how can it be known if somebody was disconnected by bad connection and when it was deliberate?

Re: Addicted to Cyanide Bloodbowl single player mode
To be fair, we have recently put together a way to parse match results based on a server dump. In FOL over 80% of games end normally, with ~15% ending in an abandoned match and <5% in a disconnection. I suspect that if the 51SPP rule were implemented that the number of completed games would increase.

Re: Addicted to Cyanide Bloodbowl single player mode
Ouch. I don't really like those numbers too much, but I think your user moderation of the league has helped get them as high as they are, considering the limitations of game (the lack of 51 SPP rule and reconnections). I still can't believe Cyanide couldn't implement reconnection for LE, especially considering how convenient and easy it is in FFB.dode74 wrote:To be fair, we have recently put together a way to parse match results based on a server dump.

Re: Addicted to Cyanide Bloodbowl single player mode
I'd be interested to see a FUMBBL comparison. The ability to reconnect would make a huge difference.

Re: Addicted to Cyanide Bloodbowl single player mode
Seriously Dode I last night I conceded my first game ever due to RL issues. That makes roughly 4 uncompleted games since 2005. All with the consent of the opponent. That's not even one a year!dode74 wrote:I'd be interested to see a FUMBBL comparison. The ability to reconnect would make a huge difference.
There is no comparison.
