There are already 180 users!

Do you guys already have a plan what to do when there is not enough free teams for everyone? Start Beta2?

I understand that most managers that already have a team wouldn´t like to start Beta2 now but I also understand it would be very frustrating to sign up and have no team to manage.

What is the right move here?

The easiest thing would be maybe start Beta 2, the only risk is having managers from Beta 1 also playing on Beta 2, letting a few spots for new users :P

We could forbid playing in more than one dimension for now, but I don’t know if that’s a good thing.

To add more teams on Beta 1 we’d have to reset it or try to do a workaround when season 2 starts, but looks like we have all teams taken before that. What do you guys think?

1) Reset Beta 1 when there is no more available teams.
2) Start Beta 2 and allow managers to play on both
3) Start Beta 2 and forbid managers to play on both
4) Wait for Beta 1 to reach season 2 and add more teams (there is not a way to do that currently, but we could work on it)

Suggestions accepted.

p.s.: we may have a few managers not playing at all, we could fire some of those to give room for people who wants to play. We’ll work on a way to check if a manger is not active.

my preference would be to start beta2 and forbidding managers to join both. At the same time, guys that are stuck with div2 teams in beta1 can drop their team and move onto beta2 and try and get a better team…

I prefer door nº4. There are still some teams available and beta1 still needs improvements.

option 2.

i think that a beta 2 with more teams that beta 1 would alow who wants to play both to play it, and new managers to come also… 2 dimensions fastest way to end bugs and to test tactics etc.

i would like to play beta 2 and still play beta 1, if beta 2 has more playable teams than beta 1 is doable.

my vote go to option 4, if possible… if not… option 2!

but i believe that a second dimension should only be out when most of the bugs\functions are resolved\available. after all, isn’t this just a testing dimension?!?!

cheers!

agreed jahblue. to me it seems futile trying to open a beta2 right away without getting major work done on beta1.
this of course, if the developers want to open beta2…

Option 3 or 4. Although option 4 would have a time delay for beta 2, to season end of beta 1.

Its pointless having a beta 2 if its going to have the same bugs as Beta 1, so maybe the time delay to the end of season will be useful to find and fix more bugs.

I wouldn’t let managers play both beta’, as your just starting this, you need as many different people playing and spreading the word as possible. When you go live and its a game people have to pay for, let managers have as many teams as they want.

Its free at the moment, 1 team is enough.

Option 4 due to the reasons mentioned above. A new beta imho should be used for a new beginning after some issues are resolved, starting one now would mean more of the same, not really a break through.

Option 4 is the most voted so far. The only reason to add a new dimension with the same bugs would be allow more people to play the game.

And for the record, it will remain free and will be continuously improved over time, the “beta” in the name just mean we haven’t tested the game enough with lots of users. :-)

Remember this is a beta game for the moment and we have to help to the developers to improve this game…

So why not Option 1, reset beta1 and restart again with more available teams…
We are just starting this season…

If not possible, my second option is Option 4.

Best regards,
Javier.

We decided for the fastest option that would make less people unhappy: created Beta2 with the same teams as Beta1 and same tick frequency. Another reason for that is to test any problems that may happen when more than one dimension exists.

We’d like to ask you to stay on Beta1 if you’re alredy managing a team. If you do join Beta2, please resign from your Beta1 team so new users have the chance to play the game as well.

Thanks everybody!

there is no next tick in the first dimension. It would be nice if beta 2 and beta 1 would tick with 2hours diference.

Beta um at 6 and 10 and beta 2 at 8 and 12. Guess it was better! cheers

Option 1 since option 4 is pointless with a lot of changes that have to be done…
