Question about rankings Sept 1, 2007 21:50:08 GMT -5

Post by steefposton on Sept 1, 2007 21:50:08 GMT -5

In one of the recent updates, BDS mentioned that he was tweaking how the championships factor in with the GWF Galaxian worth more than say the GWF Interplanetary. Does that mean that I don't need to add a "bonus" to these, that there is a bonus already worked into figuring out the rankings? Also, for a fed made up of "bootlegs" does how the match end factor into the rankings? For instance, Vengeance using his "LETHAL CATAPULT" which ends in a COUNT OUT count for less than say Pollux's PIN USING ROPES? because it uses "PIN"

Thanks as always!

When nothing seems to help, I go back and look at the stone cutter, hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know that it was not that blow that did it - but all that had gone before.

Correct. The GWF and aCe belts are already pre-weighted - you can see the 1.40 update for more info on exactly how - so a title win for the Galaxian Championship will be worth a lot more in the rankings than a title win for the GWF Cruiserweight Championship. You can still give one championship match more prestige for even more points if you want, though - a main event on the biggest PPV of the year is a more important match than a title defense on a TV show.

Also, for a fed made up of "bootlegs" does how the match end factor into the rankings? For instance, Vengeance using his "LETHAL CATAPULT" which ends in a COUNT OUT count for less than say Pollux's PIN USING ROPES? because it uses "PIN"

LETHAL CATAPULT would still score normal points for the win. It only factors in countout wins if the finish actually uses the phrase "countout" in it. Same thing for disqualifications.

So, if you wanted LETHAL CATAPULT to count as a countout win and be worth fewer points, you'd need to record it as "countout via LETHAL CATAPULT" or something along those lines, so the system saw the countout. Hope that helps!

Thanks as always!

Welcome!

count out or countout?

I've really appreciated your willingness to answer all question AND being willing to listen to suggestions on how to improve the game for everyone. This is what got me to go from "hey, I remember that game from when I was a kid" to "I think I'll buy it and start playing it again."

Either. It used to accept "co" as well, but that was a little too liberal.

Thank you! Reading stuff like this makes me smile.
