My question is can we play matches from the first set with the first 24 wrestler cards an so on or will we have to start from the newer sets? I think the first sets to be released will be the new aCe set and older aCe sets, then from what I gather the next sets to be released will be the New Beginning sets. After that I'm not sure. |

Looking at what Osk said a few messages back... "Having the Stat Tracker WITHOUT a game edition means - No inputted wrestlers, no Simulator program, no COTG Files, no Championship Committee (that formulates rankings) and no Gallery (where artwork, card backs, and character vital stats are displayed). " I take that to mean what I can do with the Stat Tracker without digital cards is limited. Primarily that I won't be able to use the new ranking system. So, Wildfire, are you saying that is just the case from launch to a set time, and that eventually I will be able to use the rankings with non-digital versions? I THOUGHT for stat tracker there were only a few things you lost with entering guys.. BDS discusses it a couple threads back... I could be misunderstanding though |

Osk has said in the past that aCe is here now, next will be GWF "New Beginning era" (2119 -2122), which sounds like their shooting for July with... While I'm sure it could change since its kinda far out, I'm pretty sure Osk has said in the past 2087 would be next. |

Next up is definately New Beginnings and Subversion pack.
After that is 2087 and probabaly Invasion series along with that.
The early classics question is still up in the air, as is how CPC will be rolled out.

The early classics question is still up in the air, as is how CPC will be rolled out. I'd strongly suggest releasing the Early Classics sets (EC 2070-80's, 2074, 2079, 2084, 2086) as a package that precedes (or at the very least coincides) with the release of 2087 and other subsequent GWF game editions. It's best to avoid recreating the same 'cards and dice' pitfall where CotG players found themselves starting off with 2087 as their earliest available GWF option...and then at a later date were introduced to a 'period that came before'. Following that path recreates the same dilemma that exists today...the conundrum of whether or not it's worth 'back tracking' on the time one has already invested into building a unique GWF History for the sake of official continuity and fun new game play avenues. People tend to hate change...which in my experience was what always weakened the appeal of the EC Retro Sets among many of the 'cards and dice' players I know....many of whom chose to 'do without'. This had less to do with the quality of the content than it did with being off put by having to face the necessity (and to some the burden) of having to 'rewrite' their already well established unique GWF history. CotG Online offers the potential for a fresh start. A focused intelligent release schedule where game edition time line options and chronological availability correspond perfectly 'right from the start' can make the fact that the EC Sets were originally written retroactively (and all the baggage that came along with that) a total non-issue going forward...while also maximizing the appeal of the Early Classics era as almost a practical 'necessity buy'. Something to consider while things remain 'up in the air'... |

From all the information released before, I thought that with the stat tracker you were going to be able to enter card results from your fed no matter whether it was played online or with the cards. So you could enter your fed's history and then resume playing online if you wanted. Will that be possible later on but just not at launch?

You can definitely enter your own "bootleg" wrestlers now, tystates, a category that would also cover entering wrestlers from an older set that isn't officially out yet.

I would love that idea LWPD, seeing as how the full history of EC is what brought me back into the game. I like to have a complete history and that kept me from being motivated last time I played, but this time with the EC option, I couldn't be happier.

So am I reading right that you can enter Bootlegs?

Can we get a clarification on what functions won't work? The gallery, stats carrying across character "editions" (see the whole Renegade/Cannibal issue from pre-launch), the simulator, a few graphical whatnots scattered around the site (the little mini-galleries on a wrestler's match history, for example). The rankings mostly work with them. The rankers won't count the wrestler's natural ability into the rankings, so they'll be handicapped against official wrestlers, but if you've got a fed of all bootlegs, it should be just fine. |

Just to be clear, there are currently no plans to release the rest of the aCe cards as standalone printable PDFs, right?
Hmm. I wonder how much hassle it'd be to make usable cards from screen grabs.

Anything that can be purchased from the Filsinger Games store as a pre-printed card will not be made available on PDF. That's the plan as of this time, unless it's changed without my being notified. |

Yep. That's still the plan for now.
What we're really focusing on next is getting the Game Table ready for launch so the aCe 2119 and 2120 sets are able to be played out Online alongside the Stat Tracker.
