First off I am lvoing the crew 2 and I have just pre-ordered its super fun.
My only concern is the rate we gain levels / max cars. I feel like we will be icon+ before even trying each event once we get to famous very fast in the OB, mind you the icon1-999 might have the grind I am looking for but will it have the rewards?
When it comes to cars I just want more growth. Instead of 100-280 lets go 100-1500 like TC1 and just adjust stats per ilvl or whatever. The other issue is once you max say 1 street car then you get more max parts and next thing you know you have 30 max street cars, can we force seperate parts to make us work each new car we wana use?
At the end of the day the games really fun, I cant wait to see what we can do with houses / garages and what not in retail as well very excited for that feature. Its not perfect but its pretty damn great and I would recomend it to any1. I got faith in the long term growth of the game as well, Id really love to see a calling all units style addition I gotta say after playing a ton of TC1 being a cop and chassing down transporters was my fav gameplay loop.
Either way keep up the great work and someone knock me out and wake me on the 29th it cant come soon enough :P
Can't agree more. I presumed the new fame/progression system was to help with matchmaking later on and would be linked to car max level for example
Rookie - Max Car Rank 280
Popular - Max Car Rank 480
Famours - Max Car Rank 650
Star - Max Car Rank 870
Icon - Max Car Rank 1150
This would then be a similar progression as TC1 whilst sectioning players into easily identifiable groups for matchmaking. Never would an Icon be matched with a Rookie as we all know to well from TC1 that was not fun. I am sad to discover that this entire progression has been watered down. As much as i am enjoying the open beta i don't see any long term content as i'll unlock most things in less than 20 hours and have a ton of money with no more rewarding content to prorgress through.
ya that would of been great but since we hit popular we know this isnt the way it currently is, We can hope they take this idea and roll with it for release. They did say they are working on adding more progression in the live stream I thought it was in the OB but hopefully its not and we can look forward to it in release.
I'm holding my breath, I don't see how they can go from I think it was 1200 ish in vanilla TC1 to 1499 in later updates. To now having a max car rank of 280 unless there objective was to really simplify there game in which case they suceeded but at the same time it will alienate alot of hardcore TC1 players who still play today becuase there was a progression and grind system that lasted for hundreds of hours.
