New MP Gametype? | Forums

[Elements1992]

Hey guys/Redlynx.

I would like your feedback on a new gametype i have come up with, everyone seems to think it's a great idea and i think it would potentially be the most enjoyable if it did happen. Not sure if Redlynx can just change the game like that with a patch or anything though?

But anyway, the game is very simple. There will be 5 races. Each on a different dificulty setting.
The first race will be a beginner that the players vote, second would be an easy, third being a medium, fourth being a hard and the fifth and final track being an extreme.

THis offers a variety and a bigger multiplayer experience. It shows off all of your skills, as someone who is beasting the easier tracks may get out-raced in the harder tracks, and who knows who the winner could be? Because so often in Hardcore i will make everyone DNF on the first track, then the second track seems pretty pointless to me as i know i've kind of already won.

But this game type would offer all different aspects, you can play easier tracks, knowing you will get the harder ones (The ones you may prefer) later on, it is more for the All-round type of players.

I'm aware that there will be 5 races instead of 2 or 3 so the races will be a bit longer, but in this case, the game could end up rewarding more EXP at the end? So it doesn't make it slower to rank up than playing something like Hardcore Trials.

What do you guys think?

for me presonally, i have very little interest in playing any Beginner or Easy tracks, and i only like maybe half of the Medium tracks in MP.

so i probably wouldnt be a fan.

Hey, me too.
But it would be nice to get a variety, shows of the true skill of all-round players. What you may lose on the easier tracks you may gain on the harder ones. And it would appeal to the lower-skilled players who won't play hardcore because they know they would always get a hard or extreme.

It also saves transfering from Trials to Hardcore all the time.

Yeah skip the beginner and easy tracks and replace those with the 4lane supercross tracks that are already in multiplayer.

So two 4 lane races, then one medium, one hard and one extreme would be cool.

The cutoff time could also be a bit extended for hard/extreme tracks since I too race against alot of players that DNF and then mostly quit.

Also is there anyway to see if bailout finish is allowed in 4lane races or are they always allowed?

I think its a great idea. Something for everyone!

wmadoss - bailout is only an option in private MP games and is not used in public games
