It won't let me kick anyone until the team event is over, but send an invite to LLJK some time tomorrow and I'll make sure you get a spot.

So I bought WWE 2K17 the other week, and I've got a question. I started career mode and lost my first two matches and blew my promos so I'd start in NXT. Is there a point that I'll get raised to the main roster, or do I need to switch my championship belt focus to someone who holds a main event belt to do so? Just wondering if there's a point the game will promote me to the main roster since I've won almost every match or if I have to do it myself.

You might get called up at some point, but I'd recommend just doing it yourself. I blew through developmental, but I was U.S. Champion for 400 days and a Paul Heyman guy before they... let me onto Raw.

If you're expecting MyCareer to be, like, a story engine, that will chronicle your rise to the top, and contextually respond to your actions, it's not. Other than the cut scenes it's basically just Universe Mode, if you only controlled one guy and he wrestled every single show.

Hottest tip I can give is that switching championships also ends whatever rivalry you're currently in and skips your next match, and you can just keep doing that until you get to something novel, like the Rumble or Money in the Bank. Just make sure you're going after the big belt and you're not in a rivalry the day of, or you'll end up in some bullshit nothing match on the midcard and it'll be another 108 goddamned matches before you get another shot at it.

Android punters will be getting an invite to the WWE Champions Faction Fight (or something like that) Beta.

Few things to note:

1) You fill out a google doc and then get taken to a hockeyapp website - register in a new tab/window. If you register they'll tell you to download their app, gently caress that poo poo, just register and reload the original page and you can download the beta.
2) You'll need to enter a new name and do the tutorial again :(
3) We'll probably have to set up a new faction in the beta to test the functionality, so it seems a bit dumb...?

Beta's on until the 3rd, US PST.

Yeah, I dunno if I'm gonna bother with the beta, to be perfectly honest. Too much effort for what will almost certainly end up being a lovely/totalloly nonexistant reward.

On the plus side you go do a two match tour, they give you 10's of thousands of coins, level you up into the 30s and you get to open loot boxes with 40 odd items (including wrestlers) in each. If they had these sort of rewards in game, it'd almost feel like it's worth playing!



Would ya look at those numbers, gotdamn

Won't let me create a faction though for some reason, the create button doesn't respond :( The No Diet Soldiers will never live.

remusclaw posted:

Now here's the odd thing. In Fire Pro the wrestlers don't grapple and dip like that. Timing is for exact moment of the grapple. That dip after the grapple is for the timing from King of Colosseum.

It was actually like that in some of the Super Fire Pro Wrestling games on SNES.That and the way the ref moves are clear callbacks to the SNES games.

Edit: Probably should've appended :goonsay: to this post. Didn't realize how spergy it came off.

Whoever made Champions both knows their wrestling and has a sense of humor. Legend Killer Orton has his hangman DDT as a signature and the game has it called 'Vintage'.

Yeah, there's some fun little things. If you pair Bray and Barrett, it gives you a bonus for them both being in the Nexus.

Also Bray's finisher is a Stunner which I only vaguely recall him having broken out before.

Word of advice I wish I knew.

If you're gonna go crazy with CAWs and arenas with Universe mode (aka, 6 brands), you're gonna have to delete every CAW's attire down to one attire for the most part so you can fit under the 1,000 logo limit.

Wish I had known that being 60 deep..

Is this even real life? Glad Spike took the smart money and released on viable systems. Happy I don't have to give Nintendo 300 bones now because this was literally the only reason to do so (besides that all time great Zelda)!

Online play potentially added and I'm child at Christmas-level hype for this poo poo.

Don't worry about it, I was being goofy anyway. Love me some Fire Pro. Yay!

Addendum: I started with x Premium and played a little bit of Queens special which came before it, but those early games, the ones you are talking about, I could never figure out the timing.

Yay!

I cannot imagine modding capability was not a part of this, given how they helped nudge it along back in the goddamn Dreamcast and PS2 eras. I imagine this game will ship without a single licensed wrestler in it and one week later every licensed wrestler in the world will be available.

Part of me thinks its shipping with originals because Early Access.

If it ends up being poo poo, the community will just call it poo poo and not migrate over. Like how everyone stuck with D when Z was shite. If there isn't an official way to share saves, I hope you can at least do poo poo with the files and poo poo on the Steam release or this may already be DOA.
