With the announcement and imminent release of an updated vampire roster, a lot of people are wondering what the plans are for FUMBBL in terms of when we are updating and how it will work (grandfathering, and BBT tiering primarily).

The absolute earliest date that the new roster will appear on FUMBBL is on Saturday. However, since this new roster requires a couple of FFB updates (new variant of Bloodlust, and a vampire lord rule) I can not guarantee that this will be ready at that time (please do get in touch if you are willing to perform technical testing of the new things; we always need help with this). While the vampire lord rule isn't super critical for the new roster, the new Bloodlust is something I don't want to launch without. It's still possible that we might be on time for a day 1 release, so hope is not all lost yet :)

In terms of grandfathering, the new vampire positionals will be added to the roster, and the old vampire positional will be marked as 0-0 quantity. This means that existing vampires will remain on teams as-is (including the old Animal Savagery trait), but they will use up "vampire slots" on the team. Teams will only be allowed a maximum of 6 rostered vampires total, so if the team has 6 old vampires one must be retired/killed before one of the new vampire types can be hired.

For the BBT, the vampires will remain in their current tier this season, and the tier will be revisited ahead of season 10.

As always there is a chance that some of these new rules will cause some issues. We are doing our best to prepare and implement the new rules as quickly and bug-free as possible, but please be patient with and issues that may crop up by this.
