Re: To the leaders of most races...how is it possible?

I was never a decent nations player so I'd have no idea about that but on canyon I find I'm able to follow the line of the top racers on almost all tracks given enough practice and learn from it, there's never been a track where I simply didn't understand how he did it, although there's plenty where...

Re: To the leaders of most races...how is it possible?

Someone has already said this but I think it needs to be stressed as the most important tool of all, downloading the top replays and seeing for yourself how they do it. Play against them and copy what they do, at least this works for me as I learn by example. It's quite amazing the time you can shav...

Re: TM2 ---- ROC ---Still only on a sunday

I agree with tcq. As it is It's rather difficult for Australians to get past 90k as the RoC is at 3-5am for us. The whole point of the ladder system is to attempt to make the best drivers at the top of the ladder and that's rather difficult when not everyone can even participate. (not saying if I co...

Re: Very sad to see this...

I'm sorry, I support Nadeo but as far as I can see, unless Canyon is drastically sorted out, why should I or anyone else want to waste another £20GBP on Valley just to find out its Canyon with different scenery and blocks? Canyon has GOT to be sorted to stop the bad publicity circulating around TM...

Re: Improve Skill System

I know you can't get the bronze twice and get double points, my point is that the wr should be worth much MUCH more than the bronze medal and with your system it's less than double. I was thinking about that, I think if they haven't finished a track then it counts as double the bronze time or some v...

Re: Improve Skill System

@ the post above me..... ummmmmm, no... just no... The wr is worth less than double the bronze medal, I don't think so. Why would you want the sp system to be the same as the lb system? The great thing about them is they both require different skills, 1 is consistency and 1 is getting ultra-super-ep...

Re: Something like official times for custom maps

If you go on to http://dedimania.net/tm2stats/?do=stat or http://tm.maniarecords.org/?a=trackinfo&uid=K8LZDn0kTJf52zdprPOMdMj9tC2 you can see some of the best times played on a track, but only online. If the track hasn't been played online then you will be able to upload them to mania exchange a...

Re: Improve Skill System

I agree with the principles of the first system for the reasons vanquish stated but the execution of it doesn't work for the reasons that drowned out said. I believe the system won't change as that would make too many people complain, especially the people who have tried so hard for the top times on...

Re: Ladder Points

To see how many ladderpoints you have ingame click on multiplayer and it will say at the top of the screen how many you have plus your rank in the world/country/state (if you have a state, if not maybe region or something, depends where you are) If you want to know ingame then hold tab so it shows t...

Re: What are planets actually for?

I agree completely, I have not spent a single planet in my entire maniaplanet career. I'm all for the solo 5 min timer so I hope for it going towards something other than solo but even that would be better than them being completely useless.
