Maniaplanet Forum

I won't make a huge post here as I am just one of the thousand customer on this forum but I agree on EVERYTHING Bandittt said and also agree on each and every words he used, never insulted, just observed.
I can't find ANY game developpers that would, for the FIFTEENTH birthday of their game (huge accomplishment, it's supposed to be) release such update. It looks rushed, approximative, it's bugged, it's incomplete, it's disappointing... I really can't find. Can you ? Tell me one company that would accept to release such a thing in such an important landmark for the game ? It had to be Nadeo, and it doesn't surprise me.

it's right that it feels rushed (to be "ready" for the anniversary...), I would also preferred to test 2 weeks longer.

But, other game companies don't release anything at all after 15 years...

Yeah,i think same. They(NADEO) made the RC much to early! I don't understand this, really. They saw, that there was so many unfixed Bugs and unfinished implentations left, in the closed Beta. I really can't understand, why they bring this "RC" to the public, on their Anniversary!

Don't misunderstand me, please. I really like what NADEO gives us with this update.
But it should be well integrated, imo! The Game now looks and feels more terrible for me, then before the update. UI over an UI?!? While the new UI looks very promising, it's really terrible integrated. Organization of the Titlepacks, same bad as before. (It's near impossible to sort your Titles at MainScreen)
Ok, to be fair. The new channel options, like records, mapvoting works very well! The "CustomBlock" thing, is nice, too. But why NADEO, don't made a RC, with all the working stuff and stay in closed beta with the unfinished things, is beyond to me. I am more into Bugfinding/reporting, then on playing and have Fun in TM, these (Anniversary) days. The Focus should be on nice Tournaments and SpecialEvents, through the whole Anniversary and not on bringing unfinished and not well implented stuff, to the Users. I mean, why we had the closed Beta?

Ähhm, TMarc. Trackmania 2 is not 15years old!

We are talking of 15 years Trackmania these days, or not!?

Its like saying Battlefield 5 (Release: 2018) dont need to be updated because Battlefield series is 16 years old (BF1942 Release: 2002)

ManiaPlanet is the whole platform where all titles/games will be released, so should be normal that its always up-to-date and works correctly without minor bugs (last game: Lagoon - Release: 2017).

Btw: I think as well that MP4.1 was just rushed much too fast. All these bugs which just appeared since Release should be fixed before a release version. And for a titlepack creator and server hoster like me its hard to fix everything ASAP.
It would be better to have a beta like until EOY and release it in January.

In my opinion the whole release management process should be improved.

Sorry TMarc, but DMark, hit more the point! Lol, TMarc - DMark! And you wrote, that other companies won't release stuff, after 15Years. Well, then the company, would not exist anymore. It's not meant bad against you, but mainly it's not true what you said.

Thats what i mean with that! TM2 or Maniaplanet is the actual Game/Project from NADEO. So, updates should have Quality and not Quantity!
They bring so much stuff for the developing/creative/creating community. They don't worry this much, if its not well implented, cause they figure out some tweaks or stuff to get this to work. But imo, NADEO forgot the casual player or players only in MP! Make it look and feel good, that should be the first point on NADEO's ToDo list. Make the UI usefull and complete. Better managing of the installed Titlepacks. Do something, cause the PersonalBest Ghost, in Solomode. Better managment of Skins, maybe it's somehow possible to integrate Maniapark, the same way like Maniaexchange, download and install Skin/Item/Mod automaticaly. Bring more (longtime)motivating stuff, more challenges, like some official Tourneys from NADEO hosted on channels or a map of the day, like in the EnviMix TP, where people race against others Ghosts. Winners gets some planets or some exclusive skins, made from NADEO and so on...

Yupp, i think that, too! Again, it's nothing bad against NADEO. We all or the most of us are with you! It's something that in some users minds, should be improved in the future. We are really happy with the features and stuff, but also unhappy that this is all so loveless implented.
Please, do a closed beta group and bring only the working stuff in the Release Version! I think the game and the feeling about would benefit much from this. But for now, please fix all this things, what should/must be fixed and then go on with new stuff and closed betas. Thats my only wish for now!
