You shouldn't look at them as variations, look at them as moves. Now we have like 8-10 of them, and you also have the possibility to make them cost more or less slots.
I don't know man, we can only speculate. But I'll take a guess. Let's say they make a some kind of a tournament mode where besides things like augments selection of custom variations is also disabled. How will you play them if they turn out viable?
It's not even 10. I think they said somewhere no more than 8.
Play in normal mode and not tournament mode...?????
To be fair, Ketchup and Mustard shares the same sentiment.
Normal mode would have augments too. I'm not saying anything what Boon will do, I don't know what he wants. All I know is they are talking about it and I think it's a bad idea.
Well, shit...
Custom variations will still be available in normal player vs player, so you just turn off tournament mode and go to vs
This is starting to sound like a lot of work to try and design or obfuscate people from using custom variations that gains NRS nothing when they can just let..people play how they want and let TOs do what they want.
And if the pvp has other stuff activated other than the possibility to play customs? I'm just saying if they do some mode specifically for tournaments, for easiness purposes and whatever, and the customs are not available, than it's a mistake.
We don't know. All we know is they're talking about it. And it's a mistake imo. The easiest way is to let them available with presets. If customs turn pout broken, just ban them from tournament play. That is all. No need for complex ingame options and whatnot. I don't see a reason to restrict them in any way.
It doesn't sound like NRS plans to do that, I think that's what some of the other posters are trying to explain. There's currently no evidence that NRS intends to restrict custom move sets beyond what they did in I2. It sounds like this is a game of telephone, where someone heard Max say something about something someone heard someone else say until the final interpretation is way off base.
They also said that they plan on adding more in the future though, not that I'm complaining.
The sentiment that NRS should spend the time balancing moves instead of pre-set variations, to allow them in pro-league and all that. I don't think they share the same panic about a nebulous removal of custom variations from the game.
I mean that they also think customised variations should be available for competitive play.
Yes, this, sorry for not being more clear about that.
They will be unlocked from the start, it's confirmed.
Sign the petition then
Can't this be worked on later when they are tried out first?
People can try it in locals or unofficials and see how much of a shit show it is or isn't(it will be). If people want to have day 1 tournaments with this you have far too much optimism in NRS's QA. I wouldn't be surprised to see shit 3x as dumb as day 1 injustice Superman. Then of course when it's not balanced at all we continue the cycle of constant patches that turns off everyone from the game when NRS are scrambling to fix this shit and lo and behold games are dead again completing the NRS cycle.
I don't believe in petitions, sorry. I think they're silly as most of them are useless and won't really change anything.Sign the petition then
Doesn't cost anything
Yeah, it's just for feedback and not actually trying to ask for something forcefully.
If they're going to be doing a tournament series, then I think it's better they do the first "season" without custom variations. That would make it easier to keep a consistent set of rules.
