I see what your saying =) I just ran in the normal mode and it is rather cramped.
Question for the team, Manager cards? Will there be a "chart" for each manager? How will that work? Maybe you could ad Thantos to the stress test (provided it is not hard to do) to let us see how that plays out?

I agree with using the number 2 to use 2 dice. I like what I see so far. I just spent my lunch break doing the first annual JOD Round Robin tournament. In Round 1 Endgame defeated Disaster and Bloodline defeated Encubus (I think that is only the second time that has happened since I started playing COTG, that's because there's no Thantos to get in the way). In Round 2 Bloodline defeated Disaster and Encubus defeated Endgame. In Round 3 Disaster crushed Encubus and Endgame beat Bloodline to tie the contest. Endgame then beat Bloodline in Sudden Death to win the Round Robin. I can see myself getting this in the future but maybe when I want to start an aCe fed or once they add the CPC stuff as I'm happy enough using the cards for the GWF.

I've only had chance for a quick look (i'm counting down the minutes till the kids go to bed) but it's looking pretty awesome so far. It's even better than i imagined it would be, great work as always guys.

this may be WAD, but the wrestler cards "tuck" underneath the GWF logo in the top centerof the screen. The pop-ups for things like the special match rules and chart roll results slide over the GWF logo. It would give us a little bit more room to lay things out if the wrestler cards slid over the GWF logo. Yes, that's working as designed. The GWF/aCe logo is the clicky that rolls two dice for you. Since the cards are always up during a match, they can't cover up the roller. Since the charts come up and then get closed, however, they can be. |

After running a few matches, I clicked on the purple circle on the top right corner of a wrestler's card. The screen froze for about 15 seconds, then I got the following pop-up. A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script. I selected no, the computer just hung for another 15 seconds and the pop-up came up again. So I selected yes and my computer acted normal, but I had to restart the game table. ETA: I was running the game on monolithic Did this problem repeat for you, or was it a one-time-only thing? |

After playing around a bit, I found a layout that really works for me. It would be nice if the pop-up result box that appears when you roll off of a chart would remember where you dragged it, and pop up in that same location the next time that you rolled on a chart. I'm not sure if this is going to happen or not this late in the dev cycle. It might be something that has to get added in a later update. It's a good idea, I just don't know that there's time to implement it. |

I don't know if this works for you, but if you hit the red (-) it will minimize the card and that gives room for the tagged in wrestler. Correct. It should work for everyone, and it's what I do. |

I wish there was more room on the table, (it feels cramped, can't imagine having a tag match or even a 6 man match) but other than that, I LOVE it! Oh, and for my first match, Endgame beat Encubus with a rolling figure 4. I know that the normal screen size is kind of cramped. Here are a couple of things you can try to help out with that problem: * Try increasing your screen resolution, if you can, and then running one of the Monolithic sizes * Use the little diagonal arrow on the cards to shrink them. * Use the red minimize button on the cards to minimize guys you aren't using in tag matches. |

In COTG Desktop, if I hit the "2" key, 2 dice roll. It would be nice to add that so I don't (yes it's all about me =)) have to click the logo to roll 2 dice. I sent this over to Osk, this can probably get changed before launch. This, not so much. I can pretty much guarantee that there's not time to implement this before launch. Again, a great idea, I just don't know that we can get it in. |

I'll get Thantos into the Table here in a little while. |

Nope, that's not going to affect anyone's single-player play. It will, however affect multi-player.
Important question, Ferg: Did you see that just now? Like within the past 30 minutes or so? If you did, that will make me a very happy BDS.

Today in my first match when you click on the offense/defense sections of the cards it is not highlighting the move result like it did yesterday. Not sure if this is a bug or not but thought you should know.

No matter ... I think I've got it isolated to not being a meltdown of the server, which is all I was looking for.  Now I just have to talk to Mike and James and we'll get it using the rest of the available ports, and all will be right with the world. |
