Tyler Breeze was on chat for a recent nL stream. I noticed it on the Highlights vid of the stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nln26LQnkAM He only shows up for the first four minutes but has an incredible moment He hears them talk about the Big Bossman/Taker HIAC match and responds "U imagine. We have a cage match and just hang me from the cage. The company would shut down these days." "Well I keep getting booked against Mojo...Same thing."

STONE COLD 64 posted:i started out with a small roster of 6, accidentally booked myself into a corner, decided to give two freelancers a tryout opening match and they both no-showed, resulting in my attendance tanking and losing a ton of money. eventually by august i was able to figure out how to manage my cards and keep my main eventers over, and started profiting 50k to 120k a show, finishing with a balance of 540k by january. my champion is cesaro and he's super over in usa and europe. I think this is the kind of thing that bugs me the most about how Fire Promoter is designed. There are too many things that can randomly gently caress you over and there's nothing you can do about it. Somebody decides to no-show? Your attendance craters and you can't book a replacement, or re-arrange the card. Trying to sign the one guy you're allowed to per month? gently caress you, he said no and you have no way of knowing why. Better luck next month. BTW, he's keeping the $10,000 just for the privilege of talking to him. It all feels opaque and arbitrary and frustrating.

Fire Promoter owns, and nL starting off with Gangrel and Ralphus no-showing the first show and loving over the main event was so good. Would be cool if some QoL features and extra options were added, but it's honestly fine as it is (minus the non-translated things, those should be fixed).

so i decided to see what happens if you try to be an abject failure and bankrupt yourself in this mode. what happens is dark as heck shady looking gangsters wearing black show up at your condo and make you go with them into a van and the next image is just bubbles on the surface of the sea, implying you were murdered by the yakuza for blowing their investments

Fire Promoter needs to do the following three things immediately: -Drop in price to something reasonable (half of base game) -Fix translation and game mechanic bugs -Have a random chance of your most over heel stable pulling a Voodoo Murders, forcing a disbandment and stepping down as President / GM.

It wasn't quite that dramatic.

So is there a way to replace all the FP default promotions/caws with your own? I tried changing some but it froze the whole game.

one thing that is definitely true is that japanese companies love to portray the yakuza in a negative/nefarious light, all of the time. They like to holler™, "lmao, yaukza, you're bad folks!" from the rooftops and good things tend to happen afterward

Maybe there are different endings depending on how bankrupt you go. I might test it out later.

Budget Dracula posted:So is there a way to replace all the FP default promotions/caws with your own? I tried changing some but it froze the whole game. From what I've been hearing, there's a bug that will crash Promoter mode if any of the characters have a Country of Origin from the expanded countries list that added around the time of the NJPW DLC. Apparently they didn't bother testing to see if stuff from their first DLC would work with their 2nd DLC.

nL uploaded their first attempt at the mode on its release day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8HJ-M4kMv4 Godfather's two hoes have the most cheated match in history, including one pulling out a chair, faking getting hit by it and complaining to the ref, then immediately doing the whole act again with a separate chair after the first one is removed from the ring The Show With 45 Fans and 3 Matches because all of their unsigned talent weren't booked after Ralphus no-showed at the last second for the second event in a row New regular guest Tyler Breeze showed up in the Twitch stream chat during the last 10-15 minutes just in time for their last show before bankruptcy Said last show had Rosemary win the world title over Steve Blackman, and the final match ever was Daryl defeating Kane in a deathmatch in the company's second-highest rated match ever This mode looks very good and fun/funny and I can't wait to experiment with it this weekend when I get back home

And in the following video/rest of the stream Johnny ends up getting really into Fire Promoter and does an entire year while having slip run the numbers from a pile of broken chair parts. I highly recommend the serious playthrough, almost more than the jokey/bullshitty one, because a really good throughline is just how into it they get as they try and make the shows work while terrified they will end up in a death spiral. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBcUbsfplZk&t=12267s

The original characters made for the mode are also a lot of fun if you don't want to use created ones. Matt Robinson is gonna be a star someday.

TEW is undeniably the nerdiest thing about me since I got excited that baseball video games were adding a Rule 5 draft and service time.

Yeah, I never question the purchase. I always get my money's worth in no time at all. Its always just the time I waste when I realize I could be playing a better version of the game I'm playing now. Because there's absolutely no question I'm upgrading as soon as possible.

on cclub someone noted there is a cheat to expand the starting roster from six, hold L1+L2 when you select the difficulty. i had to connect my ps4 controller to my pc to make it work, it also gives you slight money boost to 10 mil vs the default 200k

with a roster of 16 and in year 2 of my promotion i figure its probably time to create a championship. i go and book a tournament, i have a collection of guys from indies/wwe/video game characters etc like any firepro player does. but i want this championship to mean something so i kinda looked at my roster and asked who are the best of the best here who are my best 8 who should be considered to carry the belt, its important. i settled on a tournament of 8 consisting of 7 i considered good enough which were (mind you im going with modern talent) roman reigns/john cena/randall k. orton/mike haggar/jeff cobb/ZSJ/LA Park. i needed to fill an eighth spot and wanted to off set the big people so i threw in candice lerae since shes over. she actually made it to the finals before losing to roman. its too bad there isnt really a way to track feuds as a way to increase wrestler overness because it feels like a natural starbuilding moment to go from here.

I’m curious as to whether “destiny” will still be a thing in TEW2020. It sounds like there are still soft caps to popularity, if popularity has a one-to-one relationship with Perception as insinuated.

Ran into a weird bug in Fire Promoter where all the pictures used in the different menus are missing. It's not that big of a deal, but it also apparently affects the snapshots of the other promotions' matches in the monthly summary, which is lame.

Hopefully it gets fixed, as is there are no promotional pictures at all for at least that entire year, if not going forward into year 3 and on

I hope with the perception change thing in TEW, we get to see things like successful gimmick/alignment changes make a much more immediate, significant impact on how a worker is pushed/portrayed/perceived. It always kind of bothered me when I'd assign a worker a new gimmick, they'd be rated as "Legendary", and it didn't seem to actually impact anything whatsoever. I feel like a person debuting a supposedly "Legendary" gimmick would get some serious, immediate crowd momentum, and a system like what Ryland's saying is in the new game is probably the best way to actually portray something like that. Same with if you do a turn and it's rated a "Complete success" vs a turn and it doesn't go over very well *coughdeanambrosecough*
