Overall, I think it's a good change. Please get rid of this crap V_V This helps me cut my addiction (the games limiting the amount of time I spend on baseball per day) but I don't want it to be 5 seconds, that takes longer than necessary and discourages people.

Host games are already too slow due to Server Lag (and a ton of Host players waiting on 1 Aways player- which also adds on more time before you get a game.) We don't want MORE intentional lag. I will compromise and deal with the 1000 games per day limit , but I don't want to spend EXTRA 5 SECONDS per GAME on this. That doesn't make my life better. It takes more of a time sink on Baseball than I did in the past. Greetings, comrade! Have you tried doing something else with your time rather than mashing a button on your phone twenty-four seven making, as the youth say, "number go up", and being upset that you can only take away a couple million instead of tens of millions from a money printing machine that for all intents and purposes should have caused absolute hyper-inflation by now?

Reiji Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 What is that change?I can barely accept the 5 sec delay on the home games, but also on the away games!? Did you even once looked at the diffrence of the player amount at the home/away games??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marxalot Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 53 minutes ago, Alex said: At this time, I've re-enabled Baseball with some changes: Increased security on reCAPTCHA for verifying if human. This applies to baseball, trading, and the game in general when it occasionally asks you to fill out a CAPTCHA. Baseball earnings after 1,000 games have already been played for the day will only generate 10% of the normal revenue for home games. The winning team’s revenue is not affected by this. There is now a rate limit on baseball games. You can only play a game once every 5 seconds. This restriction should be non-binding for the vast majority of players. It effectively caps the number of games played per day at 16,800. Things might change after the new game day, but a bunch of us who haven't done baseball in 24hrs just tested it and are still making ~10% what we'd normally expect. Yall can go back to your scheduled fighting now lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowthrone Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 6 minutes ago, Mr. Goober said: Majority of NPO, ye. The majority of NPO don't play baseball? I mean again folks like @Akuryo are too busy conflating politics with a mechanic a variety of people use from a different alliances. @Alex I suggest you look into the approach of home and aways differently, since they have different times to play/money involved. I really don't see the need to keep going after folks who cover aways/ so people can play homes etc without you paying enough attention to the meta of it. That's where the problem lies more than anything, and being this heavy handed over something that isn't as bad as your military glitching to award beiges/wins to folks and co. is weird, since here people are spending time within the confines of the law to do something. Those who bot, need to get their asses handed to them, but outside of that, you doing something because you can, doesn't make it the best way forward.

Marxalot Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'll also say this, if the idea is strictly to limit the inflow of money into the game then the 5s delay isn't strictly necessary when you have that 1000 game limit. It kind of screws with the dynamic if there's no automatic reward for away player -and- a 5s timer on them. The combination of both means they'd end up embargoing newbies/unknowns/randoms just to get paid anything and not waste significant chunks of time. Automatic halfsies between both teams maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasperFrost Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Revert the previous baseball nerf which made aways terrible to play and created the necessity of tipping. Previously playing aways basically gave you about 25% of the home revenue if you won. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Storm Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 The irony of these changes is that all the power players @Alex is trying to nerf have already made their money. All you've done is make sure nobody else can catch up. Personally I only baseball to get out of bill lock so this doesn't affect me. But the fact that your solution to baseball power players getting rich is to give them an unassailable head-start is hilarious. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reiji Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) And if you host a game the 5 sec timer isn't even that annoying right now, you need to wait anyways about 1+ min till someone even plays against you.

Administrators Alex Posted October 9, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2019 I've reduced the time limit to 2s on away games and threw in some google ads which should help change up the positioning of the buttons to make macro abuse harder. 1 1 Quote Is there a bug?

Yuno Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) I'm playing 9 people right now, and that's 5 second per person So for ONE person playing Home Games, they have to wait 45 seconds minimum for his turn to play *1 game*. Sadness when you limit the Away player's games. That's worse than 5 seconds. EDIT/UPDATE: 2 minutes ago, Alex said: I've reduced the time limit to 2s on away games and threw in some google ads which should help change up the positioning of the buttons to make macro abuse harder.

Cooper_ Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) @Alex Could we consider an auto-tip for away teams? I believe this would be a major QoL improvement. Edited October 9, 2019 by Cooper_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Prefontaine Posted October 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2019 Where are the people complaining about realism like in other suggestion type threads? How can players possibly play that many games in a single day?! Clearly the cap needs to be 2 games a day max. Athletes can't survive playing more than double headers on a near daily basis. And a 5 second delay? There's no way a game of baseball could possibly finish in 5 seconds. The delay needs to be 3 hours, at least. This needs to be more real. You're ruining my immersion. 1 7 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's usually only one person playing away games as prisoner's dilemma encourages everyone to parasite off that single player, although in league play, it definitely makes sense for multiple people to do so.
