Charts Updates

[the_faction]

Any word on when the game table will be using the new charts just released?

Also, not really an online question, but does anyone know why the Double-Team Chart wasn't updated and why its not even in the CoTG Online?

As soon as BDS has the time to put them in!

In regards to the Double-Team Chart not being updated, I'm not sure...it's not included Online because as I understand the mechanics of the chart don't coincide with the structure of the chart system in the Game Table...but, I'll defer to BDS for a better answer if I'm wrong.

Kris is right - the double-team chart doesn't work and play well with the guts of COTGonline, since we're working with three variables (dice roll, "teamwork" level, and offensive leve) instead of just two (dice roll and chart rating/choice letter) or one (just dice roll) that all of the other charts use. If we were to implement it, it would have to be multiple charts - someting along the lines of Double Team (dazed), Double Team (hurt), and Double Team (down) with each of the different teamwork levels represented by a different letter to cllick on to roll. It would be ugly at best, and it would probably just be confusing for any newcomers.

That's not to say it won't ever go in, of course. I'd just rather wait until James has had a chance to overhaul the charts engine in the Game Table so it works properly rather than just trying to wedge it in and make it work like we would be now.

Thanks for the response guys.

I totally forgot about the experience level to +1 or +2 on rolls. I was just thinking of it as an A, B, C chart in replacement of dazed, hurt, down like other charts. That makes a lot more sense now.

In my fed teams have to be together at least 2 years before using it so I just glossed over the experience level to use it.

I only use the DT chart on down anyway.

I grade the teams by number of matches and number of tags or double team moves. Teams are graded A to D.
