Installation

Post by JayTac »

I'm wondering, for those who may purchase this game not knowing a lot about it - will they be able to deem from the start that they need to install additional modules? How will they know that installing Shootmania actually doesn't install the full game? I think most people will enter assuming that they've purchased the full game and the entire contents has been installed automatically, but that's not the case. Maybe I'm mistaking, but I don't recall any sort of prompt that indicated to me that I need to install anything additional to experience the full game.

With that said, for those entering without a ton of knowledge of the game or how the maniaplanet system works, everyone may not be aware that they don't have the best features of the game installed.

What do you mean really?
If you install ShootMania, you have automatically installed ManiaPlanet 2.0 and ShootMania. That's it.

The other "modules", if you mean game packs like Heroes, Elite, Joust, are free and totally optional!
Canyon has to be purchased and installed separately, same for new titles yet to be released by Nadeo.

Or do you mean the updates during the beta phase, where first ManiaPlanet gets updated, then when you start ShootMania, it updates this, etc, which is actually a bit annoying? This is known and not really an issue I would say.

Right, I'm just referring to the modules, which really is the huge selling point of the game, especially Elite. So for those who have made the purchase, I just wonder if every single person will realize right off the bat that they have to add the modules manually, before being able to access that content. Not to nit-pick, but I guess it would be more user friendly if that aspect occurred automatically.

I am in a North-American team named DNJ. I approve what he says that the front pages need the elite mode already installed. People don't know that they're is other game modes and think that it is only storm. It took me 2 weeks to figure out there was an elite mode seperate from the main storm title, and I was searching for it. There isn't enough players in Elite NA and it is largely due for that reason(they stay in the FFA modes without knowing). Maybe make it the main title in the home screen or at least preinstalled so people are going to play more the mode that is intended for competition and thus more tournaments will be made and that brings more players etc.. Thank you! I really want this game to succeed because it has what it takes to be a great e-sport! So please make that happen :D
