MULTIPLAYER Multiplayer & Rating - 1.0

What a great job! Well done Minolin, hats off mate.

 

I did not understand a few things:
will I be able to enable CP on my server?
Will you rotate tracks?
Will we be able to enable CP for longer races?

For instance : let's imagine i want to organize a championship will full length races. will I be able to enable CP?
Will I be able to lower SA requirements, if I can enable CP?

and thaaaaaaaanks

 

That CP servers are a good way to start. Thanks kunos for offering us something beyond a list in the multiplayer (and I am one of those who was negative after the message in the last communication on the multiplayer). Now if I can say that this multiplayer idea seems better. I think again the problem is always the way you communicate with people supporting the development of the game (this CP mode was not stated on your message and it changed everything). If you knew you were going to do this, don't say what you said weeks before, because this is good (or at least it seems to be). Time will say, but well played Kunos.

Don't you all think so?

 

that's why you should never let your mouth to run before it's time eheheh.
Now I think we are all happy!

 

Thank you!
If I can give me opinion, the system is in theory almost perfect.
There are only two things missing, but it's ok that you focus on the stability of every single feature you provide. And they are a lot!
Infact, once it's working stable, I would pass it to the community. Just to give their championships a more serious perspective.
But again, to be the 1.0, it's a lot of staff.
It is a long term base in my opinion.
Which means it is very well thought!

 

Good work guys, it seems very impressive.

 

Are the ratings for the release actually reset? I haven't seen any information on that yet.

 

Please make this happen in the future The way it is now, P1 can pull away from the pack by like 50-100 meters before the lights go green. Now that there will be a CP rating, this gives a huge unfair advantage to P1.

Edit: Also, if P1 is a fair player and waits for the other people behind him, it gives him a disadvantage, as everyone can press their throttle 100% but P1 has to wait for green, which means he will have a bad start.

 

I think he just said no, in previous post.

 

No reset?
Omg
I have to drive more.
Omg
Only two days left

 

This sounds amazing Kunos. Absolutely amazing work. Does anyone know if our ratings are getting wiped for full release?

 

Sorry i see the answer now, but can't delete the post?

 

A simple and quick question.
The servers will only have a maximum of 30 slots?
It is possible to make races of 60 cars?

 

WTF, luckly i got the 3 medals right yesterday
Too bad those blue stripes still looks horrible in VR with tha freaking temporalAA

Can't understand that, are ya saying that the , probably, most long and competitive races (CP) will all be hidden behind the quickjoin(t) button ? I got it wrong i guess

Thats procedure its not really working properly, the whole thing is still more or less up to the good heart of racers, and usually it results in a complete messup of the positions settled by qualify times.
Since thats the starting point of every race i'd push up its priority to critical , just my 2cents

 

an SA reset would be be fair.
But remember that it could kill the competition "exclusive" nature.
I think a good solution is to compact (compact? I hope it's the right term) the values. for instance : 30 to 50 drivers go to 30, 50 to 70 go to 50 and 70 to 100 go to 70.
In this way you maintain the differences, but you also help the people who has been rammed more then others because they joined public servers. like me XD!
that works even more if SA through single player is capped!

 

I thought the same. "Why didn't Minolin post about CP concept in the first place two weeks ago?"
So there was a huge ****storm and alot of disappointment.
I also was very very disappointed and a little bit angry and had zero motivation to gain SA. Now my main goal is to get enough SA for the dedicated CP servers.
Because the CP server concept means a sort of scheduled races and later server splitting light.
All what I wanted to have.
Now I am extremly hyped hyped hyped and very motivated to drive as clean and cautious as possible.

I already told my wife that this wednesday night when the kid is sleeping I will be in my rig for the rest of the evening. Then it's ACC time.

Cannot await 1.0.

 

I'm not fully satisfied, but you did answer all of my questions and I do hope you'll get around to fix the problematic formation & start procedure; which gives players an incentive to jump the start and/or get a head start.

 

Don't worry, this a joke from Minolin. He knows that I am addicted to Spa/Monza.
It's german style of humor.

 

I'm pleased to read all this and it sounds good. But wouldn't it have just been more convenient for users if the CP server races were scheduled so you know when to turn up for a race. Otherwise I'm worried I'm going to log in, see the race has just started and then I've got to wait an hour and 20 mins to play again. By then it's going to be time for bed. 2 young kids means I don't have time to wait that long.

I'm also a bit worried about the CP servers filling up fast and not being able to get in to the appropriate race. Again this wouldn't have been an issue with scheduled races and the game splitting players by rating.

Just my thoughts. I have to admit though this is better than what we currently have in the game and all other multiplayer systems other than iracing and GT sport.
