@Sniff: I totally agree, we could spread better the goals around the team. Lately I’ve been thinking about some interesting changes in the way the match engine works. Nothing to worry though, it will take a while for drastic changes to be made ;)
Hotlists? No, we are not changing anything on it…and it shows ok for me :(
What happens when you click it?
Hehehe, no, we rely on some built-in features in the programming language to do this, and it simply stopped working after the last techonology update!
I’m sure you D-1 did not replace you D0, it might seem this way cause he was positioned there to take the free kick ;)
That’s true. I’ll this to our list of enhancements.
This one I also didn’t understand why it stopped working :)
This is due to the temporary fix for the security breach that was found yesterday. A more appropriate fix will be applied soon to resolve this issue.
The players were free because we had a security breach exploited today. These players were not meant to be free so they were returned to their teams. The problem is fixed now.
You can send me the list of players you fired either here or in-game and I’ll take a look.
Cheers!
Hi Yuri,
Most teams play with players in the central positions. Even though we’ve improved the utilization of wingers and players in side positions we still need to work on it. Try to change your formations with that in mind and your results should improve.
Regards.
We’ll probably have to add an option for this one allowing the user to choose between dot or comma, the standards are different from country to country.
@Alexandre: yes, we plan to have something similar and give more free will to the player.
@Vaughn: yes, cpu teams surely need to be more interactive and improve their lineups, that’s for sure! I’ve add an enhancement for that.
@Sly: I don’t like the idea of ghost countries, I’d rather improve CPU teams and add more manageable countries.
@Filipe: I don’t like the idea of giving RS money for those who bring users to the game, we already have enough problems with cheaters and multi-users and this is not easy to monitor. If we have a pay-to-play system we’d certainly have this kind of reward, as people would have to pay if they wanted to cheat ;)
The difference between the variables size and the actual words that will replace them is usually small enough to be ignored. You can trust the character count for now :)
On RS all the 5 penalty kicks are taken, no matter the score. Yeah, I know, it’s silly…I’ll change that ;)
We added South America because we missed it on MS and we were able to attract lots of brazilians to the game because of that. We added Europe because it has great leagues and international competitions in real life, and that’s what we should start with as we came from MS. We simply couldn’t start with only one of them :D
We understand more countries are fundamental for the fun of the game, even if we don’t have enough people on them yet ;)
I’d like to standardize this number of teams per division, something around 20, where 3 would be relegated. I’ll make a poll about that. The reason behind this is again to give all countries similar chances to compete.
We want to go further than ManagerSim, so Europe wouldn’t be enough! :D
We can’t forget the difference that would cause between european and south american competitions. I believe we are going in the standardization direction, not implementing that kind of specific rules. I’m tempted in doing a poll about that, as I said, cause we have to choose to either have the specific rules or a more integrated RubySoccer world were every country / continent follow the same standard rules so they can be compared and compete fairly against each other.
I’ve read a little bit about uefa cup and europa league on wikipedia…it’s far more complex than that. I know it’s cool when things are designed like in real life but we’ve been trying to standardize some things in the game to make it faster to develop and maintain, and also to make it fair for all countries. For instance, in some countries the national cup winner go to uefa cup, but in Brazil the cup winner goes to Libertadores (which would be equivalent to CL). Maintaining each country / continent specific rules could be hard, and making international cups completely different between continents could unbalance the ranking.
We will add a fake club world cup, so I guess most people are not really concerned about no following all real life rules. Of course we can always make polls to find out :D
You’re right, this one shouldn’t be hard ;)
In which uefa round eliminated CL teams should join?
What the…I have no idea of what happened, let me fix this.
As soon as we have enough match results articles to launch the newspaper we’ll start adding more categories ;)
By the way, don’t think we wasted our time with this new mailing editor, we got this free functionality from another website, it was just a matter of adding a few lines of code so we won’t be sad if we don’t use it.
Few posts from the admins only thread about new mailing editor :
Sly – I prefer very simple mailing. This just suxx
Philipp Leibeck – thanks for the effort, though for ingame mailing a plain notepad is enough imo. the new version has a lot to offer, but is not necessary/adequate.
Vaughn – rather see a simple friends list to choose from :)
I personally think it’s unnecessary, but we decided to give it a try ;)
When I said %{match.winner_team.manager.name}, please read %{match.winner_team.manager_name}
I guess Nirabdha was refering to www.linode.com, our ISP address. The links Danilo listed are a good way to know if we are experiencing any kind of trouble. Twitter should be the best option, we’ll try to always inform you guys there if the site has problems.
@Nirabdha: you almost got it right…it is %{match.winner_team.manager.name}
Our focus now is the newspaper. Of course I’ve been doing some smaller things in parallel, but mostly bug fixes or really small enhancements. As always, it’s hard to say when things will happen, but I expect to start something more interesting next week.
We already opened a ticket complaining about that to our host. Something is definitely wrong, nothing changed dramatically to cause this slowness.
1. Let’s see how much we’ll be able to spread them. Remember they will start earlier in the season due to the new club world cup format, but they have to end before the world cup starts.
2. We’ll have them, for sure, when we have more countries ;)
3. Not sure yet. This was my initial idea, so we’ll probably do that.
