BuzzerBeater Forums

What significance does the number of players in roster of the impossibility of setting the composition on time because of delays? Mario roster and form of the players doesn't matter in delays topic.


I see voices that for somebody doesn't matter when the training is. Some of the users probably do not care about watching live matches but big part of us like to be excited about watching live matches. This is very important part of this game. Moreover, in this game we have something like weekly schedule. BBs invite us on concrete time on training, matches etc. We are on time...and? BB is just part of our live. We have families, schools, jobs etc. Do you understand? We feel that our time isn't respected.

The significance is that instead of complaining about how the training update adversely affects his roster making (which he did and to which my comments have been directed), the poster could eliminate the problem by managing his minutes more effetcively. The game is not and never will be bug free. To sit around and complain is one option. To accept imperfection and think about ways to work within the current system is another. I choose the second because compalining about the trivialities of an online game when we all have families, schools, jobs etc. is not only embarrassing but comnpletely misplaced energy in my opinion. And, let me be clear, this is just my opinion.

I couldn't set line up for Cup game once coz of "smth went wrong..." How about that, huh? Played default...

...no longer supporter: Paraszczak

This is an official supporters protest.

"Matches are delayed"
"We are once again experiencing troubles with training"
"Sorry for the inconvenience"
"Ooops something is wrong..."
etc.

How many times we will read something like that?

We are very unhappy that the delays and problems occur so often. We feel that our support is not as it should be used to develop the game in order to user satisfaction. We expect you to do more to solve problems.

I really don't enjoy your post. This game was always about not having any real in-game advantage for cash. Here, you make it sound like you're the Derek Fisher in our sindicate. You supporters are not the only ones getting delayes and from the moment you paid your supporter you knew you are just donating, not asking for special treatment. Plus, instigating others to do so, is very wrong, to say the least.

All this aside, yes, i also hate the delayes, but tbh, this game is far better in bugs resolving, and talking with the community than any other i can think of.

You misinterpret my intentions. I already explained what I wanted to say in several earlier posts and I don't really want to repeat.

...this game is far better in bugs resolving, and talking with the community than any other i can think of.

I appreciate the effort but in the end I would like to see the effects. I don't see anything wrong in criticism. Criticism should mobilize, rather than destruct. In my opinion, patting on the back and saying that nothing has happened doesn't mobilize.

I am not supporting polish protests, as believe that developers trying to do their best to keep all technical questions in shape and thanks to them for their work.

From other hand, I am little bit disappointing by how the perfect idea of BB game is developing. Shortly saying I am not happy about deficit economy, deflation, slow training of players. May be it could be a good reason to quit support and the game at all.

agreed.

Probably i will not buy next supporter, just becouse of that.

Right. uhmm ...WRONG!

I don't like how World's economy goes. Should I 'erase my account' by commiting suicide?
Bloody NOPE.

I don't like that people nowadays evolve in reverse. Should I not invest in my family or in my future, hoping that things will sometime be better?

Y'all missing the freakin' point here. This game is made for walking. You walk beside it because you like it's company, or you just stay behind and find some other occupation or destination or sensation or...whatever your attention leads you. This game in which you invest your time and, sometimes, your money, can and will get better. That's the reason you invest in it. So many of the creepy comments around here...remain just on the 'creepy' level. OK ...so I too don't like waiting... But we wait our whole lives for things that don't even come...why then be a milkshake when a GAME makes you wait for a bit?

Think about it and don't try starting virtual riots when riots are made for finishing, not starting.

THINK

totally agree, thank you ;)

Oh really??
So you mean that we shouldn't protest in real life too?????


Check from which country I'm from and you'll understand that in order to protest you have to be really disappointed.

And I quote from the buzzerbeater supporter page. This will solve your dilemma for protesting or not

These costs aren't cheap, so in order to support ourselves as a real live business, we have introduced BuzzerBeater Supporter. It gives users the opportunity to help with the development of the game, and get some value out of their contribution through some extra, server-intensive features.

And the last hit is this phrase from the same page

start-up web company

No I'm not pointing at start-up because they can't possibly be a start up after 4 years but at the company.

It's a company that wants to make some money so if they want to make money, they probably have to listen to those that pay and support them. Check what happened recently to RIOT, another startup similar to this one, which is around almost 3 years but is much more sucessfull than buzzerbeater.

PS The game is based on a freemium model. You play for free but for extra items that do not have any impact at all in your game, you have to pay. You don't pay for better items, you pay just to have some more "amenities" just like bb

They have 2 different regions, NA and Europe. After 2 years and a half, the game was becoming very popular in Europe which counted more than 2/3 of RIOT's customers. The game started to getting laggy and the customers angry of course. Within 2 months they had set up a 3rd region optimized and changed the architecture of their login and queue systems, split Europe into West and East and offered FREE points and Boosts for EVERYONE during this period.

That's a start-up company that wants to grow and wants to become something big. Buzzerbeater is just a company that is trying to hang on from basketball fans that have nowhere else to go. There is no competition and they take advantage of it.

My friend, I was not talking about not protesting in real life if you are entitled to, I was talking about the other guy's opinion 'bout packing his things and leave. I am aware of the situation from your country, we're almost 'next door neighbours' and ignoring that fact too, I still agree with your way of seeing the things that are happening over there. But I won't comment more, for that was not the issue here.

I was pointing out that this is a game and should be threated as well.
All the best!
