Re: Split ladder

That's a very .err.. mature approach, roke . But the thing is that it's not one shared by everyone, or even a large minority. And it doesn't fix the problem that this thread is about, namely to encourage people to play on other than time attack servers. There are lots of rounds and laps servers, but...

Re: Real damage

you seriously want this? Yes. We're already at the stage where you just hold the throttle full on for the whole map. this is no trackmania anymore I don't see that as a problem. If you like TM1 so much it is still there. What's the point of paying for it all over again just to play the same game?

Real damage

Can we have real damage in the cars, please? This would make it more interesting since someone wall banging for an advantage may regret it later when they're slowed by the damage. The car in front of you won't always finish first if he's dented, etc. Shouldn't be tricky to implement. If there is, fo...

Re: Split ladder

Sorry, didn't see your post. I've been thinking about it for some time and only got around to it yesterday. As it happens, I started the post and then got called away for dinner, which involved watching the TV for a couple of hours. It's entirely possible that you posted your comments between the ti...

Split ladder

TM2 is turning into a time attack game, which gets boring quite rapidly. But that's what you have to do if you want to make ladder points, so as a result the more interesting modes have fewer players (and, generally, those that don't care about points). Also, I seem to recall that laps servers in TM...

Re: [HUD] Location change not noticed

This bug is still there after the two recent updates. What makes it most annoying is that the details for the old country are not being updated. Every time I finish a match I see that for London I am #1 of 485 players - things have moved on a lot since that time. And, of course, I don't see my ranki...

Re: Boosting over 60k LP

what's so special about lp Firstly, it makes the game ongoing. You can go into a match and win or lose, and that's it. The next one is the same, and if you have a good day or a bad day it's quickly forgotten. As is the game. Why do you think any sport has a championship rather than just a lot of un...

Re: Boosting over 60k LP

Thanks for the info, slumpy. the LP of the players have been drop to the maximum LP you can win on normal server Have to say that's disappointing (and checking right now I see they have 70+K). Where is the incentive not to cheat? If cheating is cost free (and getting max LP is cost free) why would a...

Re: Boosting over 60k LP

I think making everybody start with 0LP would be just as appropriate I disagree, because then there is no penalty for cheating. Also, as a non-cheat, why should I be penalised for what cheats do? particularly here "the ladder doesn't matter anyway" It doesn't matter because it is not doin...

Re: Boosting over 60k LP

Thanks for the translation. I can see that once the ladder is working things would get sorted out eventually. However, I feel that you need to make an example and show that it is the cheating that is bad, not just the being caught part. Thus making those cheats start again with 0LP would be appropri...
