General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

But so far I think since you can have a committee at first to carry you and you get skill upgrades with milestones this is balanced

 

[Samoa Looch]

yeah the booking skill mechanics are new so they might change for the challenge too, it's experimental rn

Ah, okay... well, I hope they figure out a way for it not ruining the game

 

[Chris]

Is there something like a Sandbox mode... without skills? Because I can't imagine playing TEW with skills and stuff like that at all. Feels like it would make me frustrated with the game.

you can make a charavter at the start with max skills that essentially negates any of them and you can customize most all the features to turn any off to make your own sandbox

 

[Samoa Looch]

Ah, now that's good thinking on their part

 

[Chris]

Idk about for this one but there used to be default settings and one was for a sandbox play but you can still customize from there

 

[Chris]

And since new features especially are going to be polarizing they're always toggleable lol

Well, that's how you should do it, tbh. It's the smart play. Something the big gaming companies could learn from.

 

[Chris]

There should even be EWR throwback rules

 

[Chris]

The way booking skill works though, it doesn't actually affect the ratings of what you book, it affects how much creativity you generate, so as long as you meet the minimum for your shows, you can never use that creativity and ignore it even if you don't turn it off

 

[Samoa Looch]

That'd be amazing

 

[Chris]

You just have to meet the minimum which isn't hard if you have a team, and the excess is spent basically just to give boosts to angles or characters (random which since it's meant to be like a eureka moment)

 

[Chris]

And if your booking skill isn't terrible you don't need a team at All and you'll always meet the minimum with excess that doesn't have to ever be spent

 

[Chris]

Basically anyone that should be booking will generate the minimum unless you're running a shit ton of shows

 

[Samoa Looch]

Neat

 

[Chris]

It's kinda similar to a feature in the comic book universe game, you could accumulate and lose hero points and spend those on boosts
