I don't have much feedback to give lol
and yes I only commented for the joke
So much fun everything’s perfect except reckless joyride is just way too strong
To expand on my criticism, it feels like it was reimagined in a way to give the flops and nukes an ever bigger disadvantage. I know the intentions were good, but getting 773 in flakes and not even getting to play was a really disheartening experience.
GhostTown I kinda think the opposite it gives ppl a chance
I think it's ridiculous I didn't even qualify with 773 in flakes and I don't mean to cry under spilled milk but I don't understand why the 11th was removed from you and dmitras profile but not me and brads 🥶
GhostTown i like you but how is your feedback that u don't like that 20 people did better than you at the challenge 😭
shrimp BECAUSE THAT WAS MY ENTIRE EXPERIENCE, I DIDNT EVEN GET TO EXPERIENCE ANY NEW FEATURES BESIDES THAT. 😭👉👈❤️🧸
I MISSED IT
Also, another idea I had just to tag onto my last post. What if these items we're getting from the shop you had to use them in specific rounds you felt they were necessary? Instead of being a permanent bonus for the whole game you could use an item and it would utilize it for that specific round and then you wouldn't have the item anymore. Not saying I hate the current format, but just a suggestion or idea.
NaughtyNacho I was thinking of that while I was designing it, the only problem is it would make them a little too similar to transportation. The idea is that items are long-term passives that synergise with your strategy, and transportation is short term but stronger bonuses for when you feel in trouble.
Sin I didn't test it, but just read all of the feedback in these comments. I really like this idea and I think it was a good call for bringing fresh life to Race. Everyone loves colors, and the cool colorful powerups drew me in right away lol
*clears throat* Qualifiers 10/10 Double elimination cool Powerups - should be limited to 1 per game, not 3. I feel like it was really hard to predict what was happening and how to strategize for spending cause it was really up in the air. I think 1 powerup in the start with a 10$ reroll would be better. Some of the powerups need nerfing but in general i thought they were really cool. I think it’d be good to be able to see what your partner picks.
Christos honestly... thinking about it, i wouldn't be mad just having 1 item and then the item shop re-opens and you can then swap your item for another item, perhaps the rerolls would come in better this way idk? as you'd have to navigate what item works best at each point of the game. i think it is going to take a few games to balance it and work out what works and what doesnt.
Christos I agree that there should still be some predictability. Item selections will likely be public. I would be more inclined to nerfing the items but keeping 3 selections, than keeping them OP but allowing only 1. The ability to mix/match will keep every game feeling different and allow for you to slightly pivot strategies over time if the current one isn't working for you
idk how people will feel about this but maybe create 2 separate Race modes Players can select which format they want upon joining at the start just like in Arena Format #1: Ticket + U-turn round Format #2: Power-up race + Double elim round (this won’t have a ticket at the start) both can have the qualifier feature to keep it standard 22 players
too many double eliminations, limit to one per game. $12 is too much for a reroll, especially starting on $20, no one is ever going to reroll really. i think the dice powerup to reduce the cost is just pretty useless. no one's really going to take that when they need to survive based on scores early on. the joyride is definitely OP, i didn't have to worry about money and could train since the final 7. i think 2 items max, potentially a third extremely late in the game... but idk... they seem so OP at the moment that i'm not sure a 3rd is even necessary. i think due to the random element, i think the OP items like joyride should only be available as like the second power up, never the first? like the later the game gets, the more stronger the items get? is the ticket for the highest scoring team necessary anymore? is it too OP with double eliminations? we'd have to see a bit more i think. as the belows have said, maybe an extra minute for power up rounds so you have time to discuss w your partner
Tisha Agreed with all these points. I think joyride should be reduced to 15%. I think the ticket shouldn't even be a thing anymore unless the doubles are decreased to 1 per game.
NaughtyNacho hmm i'm not sure it should even be a thing with double eliminations.. if the double elimination happens at final 6, they jump straight to final 4, get to save all their money and probably win the game... and also could get a third item at final 4 to give them even more of an advantage, with their saved money.
fat racers shouldnt be able to use a helicopter
when do you think race will be up and running again?
1. We should be able to see somewhere the full list of items so we can try to plan our transport accordingly. I feel lost not knowing what could possibly be in the game, and I'm sure as I play more I'll get the hang of it but for a new player it should be easily accessible. 2. The combination of helicopter + the 30% cost reduction is a little overpowered since I just bought a helicopter in f2 for $49 3. I think the power up picking round we should get an additional minute to do the comp + buy the power up. I found myself very rushed and couldn't even communicate with my partner what we should do. 4. Be able to see what power ups our partner has & be able to hover over our own power up to see the description of what our current power ups do. 5. Qualifiers is a great idea, but maybe keep it at 20 people for the cast as it's already hard enough to fill a 20 player game let alone a 22 person game. Overall, I really like the idea but I don't know the items well enough to really critique them except for the ones I had in the current game.
i love the qualifiers!! its a good idea. i also rlly enjoyed the race overall, the items are such a cute bonus:) i do think however that some might need to be reduced? like 20% instead of 30% for the transport and maybe 10 or 5% for your partners score! i also think maybe in rounds where items spawn, give an extra minute so you can strategize with your partner about what to take and i feel like there should be a maximum of 1 or 2 double elims
melanie oh and maybe dont have the discount apply to helicoper
melanie disagree i think 15% was perf for partners score. a nuke could use this fs
hwest14 Heavily agree, this'll help balance teams.
Maybe a min or 1.5 min for you and ur teammates to decide what power ups to get so you don’t lose comp time!
qualifiers 10/10 power ups are a good twist! I could see lots of strategy evolving as partners decide what's most optimal for that team I do think the helicopter / discount powerup together could get OP howeverrrr it's the luck of the roll! Fun
Honestly need the time to discuss which power ups to choose
The item purchasing should be its own 60 second round imo
loved it. maximum one double per game. part of the fun of race is being able to survive as a bad team and two in a row really made that impossible. also maybe only 2 sets of items. the first one and another at like final 7. MAYBE a 3rd at final 4
sobriquet MAXIMUM 1 DOUBLE PER GAME.
- Qualifiers will help get rid of inactives, I like. - Partners should be able to see which powerups the other chose. - GIVE MORE TIME FOR POWERUP SELECTION ROUNDS PLEASE! We should be able to discuss with partners. - Nerf the 30% price reduction powerup. Much too powerful combined with helicopter. - I like the idea of powerups because they make the game alot more uncertain, but I think having 3-4 powerups per game is a bit excessive; maybe a maximum of 2? Overall, a good update that will shift the race meta alot because its no longer "classic." It def needs some tweaks but yea!
It was so fun! I just need a description of every power up in a blog or somewhere to see.
I honestly love the gamemode. Maybe you can change a bit the payouts cause now we are 22?
fun and interested to see how the game will evolve with strategy
Loveeeee it!!!!!
I just evicted first lol but I like the qualifiers , idk what else updates as I shifted haha
it was very fun (:
hi sin
