So here is my multiplayer idea..
Besides having fun, winning some acorns, & bragging rights, I currently I don't see much incentive for playing the Multiplayer, especially when it is essentially the same affair every season. It would be nice if there was an extra something to draw people online, & play against each other more often.
Red Lynx offers physical prizes for competing in the Multiplayer. Prizes could include Red Lynx or Trials related swag, things that can't be obtained any other way, than competing in the Multiplayer. Prizes could include keychains, posters, clothing, stickers etc..
- The leaderboards are re-engineered. Split into tiers. Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze.
- You are placed into a specific tier depending on how you perform in the pre-season races, & from then on, you will only play against people of the same skill level, thus making it harder to stay at the top of the leaderboard, & win prizes.
- However, to win the season & ultimately walk away with a prize, you must race a minimum amount of times per/week, & any days that you do not compete on, you are penalised & loose a set amount of points, (which could impact your leaderboard standing.)
- Physical prizes are handed out to 1st, 2nd & 3rd, across all of the tiers. Digital prizes including rider costumes & bike items, could be given to riders placing 4th-10th. (maybe exclusive items that can only be won through placing in MP?)
- Acorns are given out as usual to everyone else competing in Multiplayer seasons.
Because the leaderboards are split into different tiers, everyone across the entire skill range within the Trials community, gets their chance to shine on the leaderboard, & potentially win prizes.
Thoughts?
I would love to see this happen. I've even tried buying a RedLynx Trials hoodie in the past without any success since they only make like two and discontinue supplies. I would be up for putting in time at the multiplayer for physical prizes. I have a certain feeling prizes will never happen. It's like bribing players to play. Some players might feel enticed to cheat. The best player takes all the prizes. It would be too much hassle with getting players addresses and correctly making postage. Some times the laws and regulations make for prizes have tax, age requirement, or other restrictions.
I like your layout to payout, and even thumbed up your post. I hope they overhaul the next Trials multiplayer and takes a pointer with your place on the subject matter.
I'm a bit lost on this medal system for multiplayer. If a leader board were to branch out to make tiers, wouldn't that complicate things. The thing I would want most with the leader board and its rankings is to see who among us is the best at what they ride. For instance who is the best donkey rider? Fastest with the baggie. Unicorn professional.... Rabbit roadkiller.... ect.Originally Posted by onesimpleclik Go to original post
If the leader board were to be split into what the rides are, I believe would be beneficial. More chances to be the best in the world and work on that with your favorite ride. Compete with friends with who is better on the donkey, yet fails to viper that friend. The past couple games, other than assumptions we have yet to legitimately know who is the best at the given bikes (quad / unicorn).
Good idea mate. And agree with other guy with actual prizes would be difficult but digital can just be world wide gifts then. and they do a tier system on other games too. I know for one called prominence poker has a tier system.
Trials needs a big update even the tournaments never change yet over 100 tracks to chose from.
Thumbed up thread too mate ��
Hope we get some changes soon
2nd accounts arent cheating, most people use them to have fun and try different things. You're either good or you arent so it shouldnt matter what accounts are on. I dont know one single person who uses a second account just to check and see what riders are playing MP, its called check friends list or follow people, then you know who's racing. We cant help it if our Secondary's are faster than your Primary, haha
Thanks but again ideas is what we need just trying to throw a few in the hat. Or even maybe change the online to a point where we choose either trials/supercross events only and put more choice of tracks on the from the community recommended area. The tracks online do change regular but still could increase the amount we chose from or more variety. Feels like the online and tournaments section has been same since release date.
And prizes on other hand again could be changed from XP and acorns to bike/rider specials. 1st take digital prize 2nd acorns. Everyone else gets XP
