Driver Rating System to Be Included in Project CARS 2 - do we need it in AC2??

Come on, you know I was joking a bit.
But ok, even if it were a serious option and if you were interested, I'm pretty sure there would be ways.

The good thing about such a system (and also the AI programming) is that these most likely (without knowing the actual code, there is still a chance that things are different for AC) are things that can be done individually without too much interference with other parts of the simulation.
So if they are going to grow the team, these are areas (among e.g. track modeling) where I'd expect them to invest.
But ok, that's just wild speculation from my side.

 

Hello Minolin,

if I got it right, you coded Minorating? Thank you very much for doing so, I absolutely appreciate your work. In my opinion it's a very good system and helps a lot.
I would love to see such a system securely implemented in racing games.

As Project Cars 1 was released SMS was advertising they implemeted "a rating and matchmaking system" into it. It was the main reason for me to buy it.
I was very disappointed that in fact there is nothing like that in that game. Nothing.

I've asked in their forum why they advertise it though not being implemented, but there was no answer on that.

And again they advertise it for Project Cars 2 the same way. I've been their customer once but I really regret it, I will definately not support (pay) them any further.
They still have it on their website for project cars 1, you can have a look:

Scroll down a little until it says <<All this information is then used to ensure you find players of similar skill and conduct. Continually collide with other drivers and you'll slowly make acquaintances with others of similar destructive tendencies. Drive with good sportsmanlike conduct and you'll be enjoying the company of other refined opponents.>>)


cheers, falkeGT

 

Digital bros should buy and implement MR from @Minolin ;-) that is; if he would sell it idk heheh its like a son maybe.

 

Isnt minorating already in use on Kunos official servers?: )

 

yep but implemented in the core game.. and to make mino a richer guy to buy a new bike ;-) he deserves a new one for 2017.. ;-)

btw @Minolin if you sell it cut me some comission, 5% is great, so i can buy a new wheel for ac lol

 

hehehehe

 

For AC2 something like Minorating could be (should be) in-built. Since the big boys with big bucks are now in, it could be possible. Consoleros need Minorating just as much, but can't get it.

 

Why wait for AC2, that might not even happen?

We can always pretend that they will keep supporting AC(1) and only get money from DLC's, but do someone really believe that?

 

I'd say yes to anything which would create more goals other than improving laptimes, having awesome races online (winning few times lol), unlocking achievements, mastering setups click-fu, improving skills overall.

I have some kind of winning/loosing points idea, but I wonder what Kunos would come up with (if they would at all).

Also more statistics would be nice, maybe having driver cards or something....

 

Loved this one little comment from Minolin, the true joy of intrinsic motivation - the desire to do something because you love it. Your app is superb you deserve the praise. The same motivation style across many areas of business.

Start paying people, giving them targets to hit and things change. No one seems to have picked up on this issue with the recent sale of the entire KS/AC IP, who knows how the previous owner's motivations will change?

We need a good player (behaviour) matching system on both PC and console in future sim/racing games the people who create that deserves all the rewards they get.

 

Well, Aris was a modder as well. And very passionate about it.

 

I wonder how he feels about his bosses payday? Minecraft staff draw interesting comparison.

Once money becomes the motivator the chequebook starts to rule. I wonder where some of the talents behind AC will end up?

 

Guys I made this thread so you would write your thoughts about why the future versions of AC would benefit from such systems and how you see them working and which features they should have.
Lets give some ideas to the devs

 

AC2? thats jumping the gun abit.. But Yes it would be nice to have this type of system introduced officially by KS. But there is more a lot more important core features for not just MP but AC in general that are needed before something like a rating system should even be considered. Besides all the tools needed are pretty much already out there for this. which do the job just fine MR,RSR,SRS...etc

 

I think DEVs would know best what they want the most, and that is absolute priority. But it is awesome that we, as a community, had (I hope we still have) a slightly audible voice in developement of AC. It must be the "Suggestions" subforum.

I've had some "creative moments" in the past.

Created this thread is suggestions section: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/i...cs-achievements-for-online-multiplayer.36413/

Didn't get much attention, so I guess it is not a big idea. I also have been told that iRacing has something like that, but I have no idea, never touched it. Also nobody proved yet that this idea is bad (YET).
