Public suggestion list

Public suggestion list

I figured I would keep a list of all the suggestions here so they can be discussed and see what everybody wants. I'll start off with a few of my own...

General
-Fix car classes
-Take out catch up: I'm actually not sure why this exists. It allows people who are way behind to catch up, but it doesn't work because they're too far behind. It just allows people to farm times.
-Put the old menus back. The city just complicates things.
-Sim and arcade options for every mode
-Bring back Drag mode
-"Battle" option for every mode, but the some stats shouldn't be recorded such as lap times
-Bring back the 3 performance buttons to swich between setups
-ASA should be in the settings and not a chip
-CTF: Bring back old gates
-Add more camera views
-Cleaner In-Game UI (Design contest?)
-Ability to sell inventory items back to shop for 1/4 of original price
-More customization for crew ranks (multiple deputies and more levels)
-Finish crew activity log
-Test drive on any track
-HUD in replays
-Spectator option

Events
-No trunk/extremes check box for events

Shop
-Put drift cars back: If the TA players can get any TA car and the street racers can get any street car, the drifters should be able to get any drift car.
-Remove PRM and make all of its abilities permanent
-PRM 2 for RP or CP
-PRM 3 can be cheaper
-Prices of the balance and chip items don't need to go up in price too much. Maybe 10k - 20k for class 7
-G Meter for RP instead of CP

Sim
-Items, extremes, and nitro should be disabled by default
-Disable auto-rescue
-It should not cost anything to get into Sim
-Options for tire wear and fuel

Arcade
-Physics need to be improved
--Level-R's arcade is pretty nice

Chatbox
-Scrolling needs to be improved
-Enable chatbox during loading
-Option to hide chatbox
-Ability to move chatbox
-Copy/paste ability
-Focus steeling prevention from chatbox
-Ability to block players

GS and GM
-Kick players from game and room (Events included)

Underlying Code
-Optimize code: The game takes up too much resources when loading
-Update engine for multi-threading
--If a code rewrite is necessary, I suggest staying away from Microsoft's .Net Framework

Note: I am willing to discuss any of these suggestions and will update this post regularly.

All 3 of these should be features available for anyone to use ..for free

aka.  Bring back the old chatbox.

Please add:
- All the extra visuals that Level-R has and we don't
- Extra maps that LR has and we don't, including Tokyo Night
- Maps that were in development but never got added to the game (Mud CTF maps, England Explorer map, etc)

Race on sprint tracks. It's very noticeable. Try it with a kawana wink

I think there's a good reason 2 exists. You figure, some people buy battle items with CP, so why not have to use an item to disable items. I was also thinking it should actually be RP because battle items cost RP. If somebody really wants the no trunk option and they don't have enough rp, they'll probably get it with CP, so it's a win-win situation really. Innologin will still make money no matter if people use items or not.

For 3, it should add 5-10 laps on every track, so if you want more laps, you have to work for it. At least that's what I believe. I'm pretty sure it was made into an item because they didn't want people farming laps as much, so I can understand that. Of course it should be priced accordingly.

1. I'm not sure what that is. Please elaborate.
2. Agree. There's no problem with more maps.
3. See number 2

Re: Public suggestion list

I personally think the first thing on "the to do list" should be the game fix for all the server crashes Heat and LR keep having the last few weeks. I don't think it's a coincident that both versions have server issues. It must be game issues.
If they don't fix that ASAP, I can see many unhappy customers for both versions.

Sorry, should have specified.

Level-R has a ton of styling parts (bumpers, etc) that we don't.  On most vehicles, we have 4 styling parts for each category - LR has like a full shop page, if not more for each car.

Re: Public suggestion list

Add to the list:
- More camera views (the game used to have like 10+ now it has like 4...)
- Old style CTF gates
- Cleaner in-game UI (including chat, and scoring)

All three of these are demonstrated in this video:

Edit: Note the much better arcade physics in the video...

Honestly, this is mostly a list to prove we are not kids and a central place for people to discuss/ask for certain changes. I don't want to see any of these changes until the server is stabilized and some of the bugs are fixed too, so don't worry wink

A lot of this will go away when the Sim we want comes back and Innologin does some advertising

I certainly agree. More parts = more unique cars.

He said that people were buying battle items, and battle items were available to buy with CP.  Not that people were actually buying them with CP.

And I responded with "The only reason people buy battle items is because they literally have to use them - especially in events to compete.  Most people don't actually want to use them, and most people think they shouldn't even be in the game"

EDIT: I have people come into my rooms alot with battle items, and when asked to remove them, they respond with "They're only there for insurance, I don't actually use them unless someone starts spamming them on me"

Re: Public suggestion list

Another couple;

More Crew customization ie. the crew ranks - what they are right now makes it very difficult to set up the way I want it to be (Allowing multiple deputies would solve this problem)

And of course the crew Activity Log which has been there, but unusable since the crew system was introduced (March 2008 I believe)

This video shows several things:
- Some camera angles that got removed from the game for some reason
- A version of of the circuit CTF map that got removed
- Older, nicer UI
- Older gates (I liked fiona's style better)
- The older "license" system from when the game only had sim. (ftw)

And a couple more things to add;
The winter version of serpentine - what happened to it?  Driving on the slippery frozen lake was a ton of fun in explorer sad

Re: Public suggestion list

Bring back the spectator mode - where you can actually spectate people rather than have to freeroam and wait for them to finish
