Update on Trials Fusion Online MP | Forums

[puddinsworld]

Multiplayer was just not fine the way the way it was. It was built based on the limitations of outdated hardware, and needed an overhaul. It now has that overhaul, and to say it is supercross is just wrong. 10 tracks is not enough, true, but if RL can add tracks from the builders (say like uplay recommends) to the rotation over the next few months the number of tracks would be far more acceptable / diverse very quickly. The party options are ridiculously good, which already include playing user created tracks, so far most of us here who have a solid trials friends list we should be able to organise a decent party most of the time (there should be an option to join a private match with open slots if they want extras, but that's another thread...)
The beta was good, but severely limited by the numbers playing - the 8 person matches I found were all great (except for my dinosaur PC's lack of ability to run fast....) so hopefully when it lands on consoles we can make it a great place to race

This sounds exactly like something someone from the developers posted months back trying to sell us on the myth that the previous rendition of the multiplayer platform didn't work. The truth of the matter myself, everyone that I played trials evolution with loved the multiplayer. It worked, it worked well. Now to put us all on a supercross type map, to me, will not be as fun. Now i haven't played the multiplayer beta that was released a few weeks/months ago. Supercross in evolution/fusion is far and away the worst aspect of the two games. So to force players into that type of multiplayer in my option will ruin a franchise that has dropped the ball at every step since the release of fusion.

i disagree, and this is why.
searching for players: found nobody (even with more then 2000 given away free keys for beta.)
only able to play 8 lanes supercross (im not a fan of supercross)
No Lobby (to see howmany are searching or racing)

And for the newest info: it has been 2 weeks now, and no update has been given.
To me it looks like: give them a candy...so they wil be silent for a while.

I did matchmaking for about a week or 2 on and off, and found a few races with 2-8 players.

Played each track like 20 times, some more then others (including testing custom lobby settings/different bikes).

But by far I spent most time on the Beta in the Editor for finding bugs/building competition.

I can understand the later people got into beta the fewer people are actively playing matchmaking, altho the Stats show some people played like hundreds of races, if the MP leaderboard numbers are right.

Also this mode isn't supercross, my competition track might have 8 lanes but it's pretty much a technical hard track(some might say Extreme).

You can make far more tracks this way without worrying about the other players being visible 100% of the time.

Traditional supercross a few faults would destroy your score instantly, this supercross, seperate scores for time/faults and it's relative to the number of players, not the number of faults.

It's no traditional single-lane either however, and I hope eventually single lane Trials will come back as well at some point.

But I must say X-supercross should have more potential then the traditional supercross (as long as builders build for it).

No idea when it goes live, hopefully soon (this month) along with DLC 4 shortly after as said

Hello Smilies,

What's the problem with giving transparency? I don't understand the complaint here.

Cheers,

Edit: Rereading my post it looks like a really aggressive question. It was not meant to be that way. It was just a question to try to understand what should have been differently. So, sorry Smilies

[Smilies2019]

wasnt ment to sound offended lol, all im saying is that its taking way to long.
You must know that WHEN we get news...we are on our waiting seat:P

[En0-]

You're on the waiting seat also when you don't get news

There is nothing new since Shifty posted, we're still in the last phase where we're discussing with MS/Sony about the update.

hope that when MP get launched it will have seasons like in frontier, would be more fun and competitive than the old mp in evolution, atleast rankwise, playingwise it still need the single lane story mode tracks to be as good as in evo :P

Hello,

When it launches, it's what was in the beta. We'll keep adding feature in next updates though.

Cheers.

makes sense to leave tc to fall apart and put all hands on mp not. where mp needs to be launched i agree tc also needs keeping an eye on and updating where it needs it too. This problem is a persistant annoyance and is doing my nut in.
