Does amyone know if there is a way to report suspected cheaters? I'm not talking about anyone in our league but last night i played an obvious farm (lizardmen with 1300 tv but had all it sarus at lv 4+ and a lv 7) by games end he injure all but four players, and got two interceptions and pick ups on bounce with ag 1 players. I watched the replay to check my suspicions and the guy only twice rolled a one and over half his rolls were 5+. I know im unlucky but it makes me suspicious when tje other side is THAT lucky

I was just looking at D1's final week and you can't make this stuff up,

Matchup 1: #1 v #4, Already over 20/20 mark, highly entertaining victory to #1

Matchup 2: #2 v #3, winner secures #2 spot, tie or lose and #3 could be knocked to #4, because...

Matchup 3: #5 v #6 with a winner taking the #4 spot, possibly the #3 spot depending on TD diff. A tie and they both miss playoffs.

Seriously, that's awesome!

If it was in a private league you could report it to the league's admins and they could kick him out but if it was in Naggaroth or Auld World there's nothing you can do. Sadly Cyanide doesn't care about cheaters at all. :-(

E_A: Remember that this only happens if you happen to park your damned expensive AV 7 positional right next to an opposing player to be hit, alongside another expensive elf ready to be hit and then the (1) guy decides to go for the less expensive target (2) causes an armor break with at least a KO and (3) you still have an apo left.
The way i see it, shadowing could have some interesting defensive use.

Besides blitzing, its probably not too easy to use stab offensively. I can come up with few scenarios - but really, my guess is they are mostly defensive.

90k is quite steep price for so fragile player, but hell, why take them in the first place if you dont dare to use them? And that does mean some questionable parking :D

Anyhow, it would more sense to get all blitzers and witches first... but its not like ive one for common sense or power gaming in my team and skill choices to begin with.

I dont think you can affect the dice rolls. Or i atleast i havent heard of such cheat. But what i have heard about, is seeing the random(...) number results before hand choosing the action. Not sure if that cheat is still around though. Anyhow, exceptional luck does happen at times. Both ways :)

Anyhow, i would say Naggaroth is better place to play than Auld. You can challenge anyone in Auld, which means there are some players who bloat they own teams by playing against another account or friends account.

In Naggaroth that is more difficult as you can only do matchmaking.

Oops, I apparently forgot to include the replay file in my last post. Here it is
I have created my team for the next season (reset season).
Please welcome my new Nurgle team "Rotten Clawmatoes"!
:-D
The match between E_A and Vitek should start any minute now with E_A trying to stream and comment on twitch.

http://www.twitch.tv/e___a
I should mention that I tied that match with E_A 3-3.

It was quite entertaining game where I lead 3 times but every time E_A managed to catch up. Both our teams forgot to defend and it was only good.
Near the end he could have scored sooner but he wanted to stall, I got the ball and if I wasn't too greedy I could have likely hold the ball in safe(er) position. Instead I wanted to score once again, failed 2 GFI and by yet another successful pass, E_A tied it at the very last moment.
E_A made some lovely plays in the match, including moving ball from his TD to mine in 1 turn.

I then tried to chain push my skink on T16 kick off to attempt OTTD. I am not even sure if I was doing it right as it was my first ever attempt at such thing but I carefully positioned all my players, got the ball to the runner and then I blitzed from the wrong direction. Go me.:-)

I also got 4 re-rolls through kick-off events. I don't think I used any of them.
I inflicted 2 injuries I think (including saved death) and suffered none even though E_A hired Zara the Slayer to help him, but luckily for me, she forgot her dagger (or whatever she uses) at home.

I uploaded the replay to GDrive as usual.
Here's another article about BB2:

Buying each race I want to play separately? That doesn't sound appealing to me. :-(

You don't want to milk the players but you want us to buy races individually. Races we already have in BB1.

Maybe if they release a complete pack and that goes on super sale, I'll consider it. That's if my PC can even run it.

We should, as the developer, provide the player the tools to do everything in the game, to have the rewards automatically given in-game, to give the players the ability to set entry fees for their league or give free tickets to players and so we did all this stuff. We added lots of league management options, like leagues can have boards of managers and they can share the management. I won’t say that we are the EVE Online of sport management because that would be a bit too much, but basically that’s the idea behind it.
What exactly does he mean by Entry Fee ... Who will pay whom a fee ? Ingame, or RL ?? and btw .. WTF ???

im quiter irritated and thus i go to bed

As I understand it, creator of each league can set if there is entry fee to enter their league (and possibly how much it is) and every player who wants to join has to pay that fee. In real money of course and they will likely take some cut.
Not fan of it myself at all but hopefully it would be just possible to ignore it and play in free league of your choosing. That's why I also think it won't work much. If there will be free leagues and the paid ones won't have any real advantage (they maybe will :-() people won't have too much of incentive to pay to play.
More information continues to come out, and the more that does, the more I sincerely hope we stay with BB:CE, regardless of all its bugs.
It better be f2p with a rotating roster of free teams similar to LoL or we will see the tablet version of BB1 be the model for two tank this game

"I personally don’t like to milk players, I’m not keen on the extension package retail model, so we are discussing a lot about trying to sell players races individually, which will eventually I think cost much less for players because you don’t play with all races. Each of us we have two, three, four favourite races, some of which will already be in the Blood Bowl 2 original content. We’re still discussing it at this point, I hope we manage to do this one-purchase-per-race stuff."

I would guess, some smart on has suggested making people buy invidual players with money?

If they were really, smart they would add in rest of the teams with themed DLC packs of 3-4 races each for reasonable price. But i am very afraid they will go to ultra GW route of 20+€/team or something. (race vs team).

Expensive single teams would me that in the end there will be quite little team variety until some proper discount. ...expect if that little team variety didnt already kill peoples interest in the game to begin with.

I dont think it would have been impossible to do BB2 with full teams and real money micropayments. Micropayments which would be cosmetic, animations all what not. If they would be cool enough, people would buy.

But if they drive the players away from the beginning with little team variety and crazy prices, there wont be anyone around to pay micro nor macro.

edit: talking about prices, if the league, interface and bug situation were really improved, i personally wouldnt mind paying say 10€ to unlock new race every second season or so. While sad, i wouldnt feel it too unreasonable for my wallet considering the pace of the league :)

Well, there is always ofcourse FUMBBL if we are in real hate to get on all the teams..
