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 |

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. |

only sound is not enough, as many people turns off the sound while playing |

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

sound+icon would be epic
sound because wild animal and bonehead has sound.
icon because of what woodstock said, some coaches don't use sound. |
