Hello boys,

I just played a game with my vampires:
http://www.fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=630996

and when I tried to score, I did get a pop-up if I wanted to Re-Roll the failed OFAB, so I did. Apparently I did have another 1 and did fail the OFAB again. Cause there was no pop-up to warn me, I thought I could just score. Did not work, my vamp did leave the field and I missed the TD.

So a pop-up that will warn you, would be nice. I my opinion that is something that is installed in Ranked games already.

Thanx for your time and good luck with the project.

Well, popups are annoying and to be avoided. But what about a little dot that appears next to the vampire icon while he is taking his action (like the Bone-headed dot in SkiJunkie's client)?

I would like some warning as well... failed OFABs are a pain. Especially now that you can not score with it Wink

a dot seems sensible. In general i think that if I just used my reroll, I should be paying some attention to the result...

popup is out of the question, what we have planned is a sound that would be played.
Maybe even an blood-icon.

Any thing that stands out would be good, however a sound wouldn't be that good. There are enough coaches who play without it...

Both sounds like brilliant ideas - I prefer both to be implemented.

We all know some coaches plays without sound. But a combination of a change of Vampire icon (like with ogres and bonehead) and a sound would be nice.

Regarding the icon it is a question if it is viable to implement or not. It has to do with how this is tied in the client to different states of players.
But i have played vampires to and i totally agree that it needs clarification that you failed a roll, because it is easy to miss.

Indeed. I'm one of the people who play without sounds, and I even use the abstract icon set to see the difference between positionals.

Entire screen gets a red tint during the blood lust move Very Happy

Seriously though, a wee marker makes sense although Vamp coaches could just pay more attention to their RR'd results Razz

sound+icon would be epic Smile

sound because wild animal and bonehead has sound.

icon because of what woodstock said, some coaches don't use sound.
