Would make 2000 DBs even more interesting because the WCW team would just be clashes between Bischoff and Russo

Neat. Will definitely keep an eye on this, even if the first few hours of my playtime would just be going through every single worker/fed bio and seeing the lore updates. Then I'll inevitably try either a ZEN run, (old faithful) or some sort of 'Rookies Only' run, or some sort of 'fuck you I'm adding Fox McCloud as a worker because I am god' run.

I have good ideas, see.

The creative/booking meeting already sounds like a neat addition. A half dozen 'trusted aides' butting heads sounds like absolute chaos. If there's one thing I hope gets reworked, it's the developmental/child companies being tweaked to feel like actual developmental runs rather than just... A slightly smaller company tied to another. Felt like a real missed opportunity. I want specific developmental goals, like. I don't know. Something along the lines of specific callup conditions. Like, for example:
- 'In three months we're calling up the worker with a high charisma stat.' You can either start having your most charismatic guy put people over, or try to convince the main roster to accept another worker in lieu of this since ditching your top charisma guy right now might kill your best storyline. Whether this requests fails or not depends on your relationship with the main roster and how they feel about you and your booking. Or...
- 'We need a monster heel for the summer, who can you suggest.' And you can choose which of your guys you're going to sacrifice to the main roster den and never see again. Or...
- 'We're doing nothing with this lowcard guy, have him for six months and get his ass to improve a bit will ya.' And now you have to look after, fuckin', Justin Sensitive who is kinda whew but he's got that main roster popularity and he's not leaving until you can get his basics/psychology to at least a 65.

Even call up conditions like 'Main Roster will only call up workers with a 60 or more in psychology' or 'Main Roster will only call up a maximum of four workers every year, only in December, based on most popular' or even just 'Call ups are completely random' for the chaos factor. Goals like 'Call ups will favor star quality/popularity/best workers/win-loss record to determine who gets called up' or 'MR is high on this guy, book him strong.' Just these small lil' tweaks and additions to make it feel like you're running a developmental company, with it's own goals, needing to work with the requests of the parent company, to feel like an actual developmental fed.

But that aside 2020 was great and I'll be happily looking forward to this one too.

Well. Fuck. I might have to get this lmao. I been having fun with PWS, but some of the new stuff here is nice as fuck.

“Elimination Order

Road agent notes can now be used to give precise instructions for the order of elimination in matches. This includes battle royal style matches like the Royal Rumble. You can either fill in every single elimination (e.g. getting compete control over exactly who the eliminations unfold) or just fill in a few and let the game fill in the rest. This has been heavily requested in the suggestions forum and gives those who are detailed-oriented the extra control that they want.”

I love that the main additions so far is just adding more backstage drama lmao

Lowkey makes me wanna do a file just to see how toxic the backstage… like putting people together who I know damn well shouldn’t be, just to see drama unfold

 

[Chris]

Imagine the cursed booking committee you could make

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

when someone in the Ryland universe has a backstage fight because someone wanted to use real wood for a table spot

Next journal announces the update of geo tags which seems great for making the universe more realistic. It basically will lock smaller companies to certain venues or a smaller section of a region instead of them running all over it. The example used was a Glaswegian company that's tiny would only run out of Glasgow not all around Scotland until they get bigger

I hope that's an option you can turn on and off, rather than having that as a set thing though

Almost every new feature is for the new game so people don't bitch about change tbh and even if it's not easily toggleable, you just edit the mod before you start and remove any geo tags they have included already

That's great. It's been a while since the last new one... I forgot they usually handle it like that.

It's also mostly just cosmetic anyway. In 2020 there was no difference if a small Scottish company ran Glasgow or Edinburgh because the game only bases things off your popularity in Scotland. It will still only be basing this off your popularity in Scotland but your venue name will be more realistic.

Like Rhode Island Pro Wrestling in the Cverse tends to always run this biker bad in Massachusetts due to it being the best fit, but I imagine you could geolock it to Rhode Island now but it wouldn't actually affect anything bc Rhode Island and the biker bar are treated the same essentially as they're in the same region
