CoE 3 - SAM - please, please, please, please sort out!

*Brunwulf* Wulf Guard Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,299 Joined: May 17, 2012 TO SAM: Please, please, please sort out the vehicle pool for CoE 3 events. Some of these events are my favourite in the game, but when you deal us a Sporty Van in Shanty- it's just pathetic. ID : 220755 Easily the most boring, unsatisfying 30 minutes of gaming I have had in 25 years. You don't have to change the courses or anything like that- just narrow the pool of random vehicles to chassis/engine combos that are actually going to be fun!! Please have a think on this for next season? Cheers, Your loyal servant, Brunwulf ......................... vet ww wv e2g gwextrav sssc northernsummer gateautumn deathrce1 marshal race1 raceL1 combat1 pvp5 pvp4 pvp3 pvp20,1,0 Posted Mar 31, 2013, 12:57 pm Last edited Mar 31, 2013, 12:59 pm by Brunwulf

Definitely not my idea of fun. OK, maybe borderline fun, but on the not-fun side of the line. ......................... vet wv gateautumn sssc santa1 raceL1 deathrceL1 marshal pvp2 zom combatL1 pvp52,6,2 Posted Mar 31, 2013, 7:37 pm

*The X Man* Better Off Dead Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Game Manager Posts: 2,207 Joined: Jul 25, 2012 Yes, I understand your frustration. Sporty Vans are pitas and have a mind of their own when it comes to bad terrain. But I am a sadistic sort that enjoys extreme difficulty. It becomes more of a Player VS Terrain event instead of the preferred true Race Rally. Now after going through hell trying to get to gate #1, the race became a rally again once we past gate #2. (remember that there are usually more than one way to get to a gate). True, there were only 2 of us that got to that point but when do real races always end where everyone finishes??? That is the only chance some players can advance in the standings. But on the other side, this does need some adjustments to what vehicles should be available for these races. Every week should have a different chassis so there is more of a variety of cars players can drive (no repeat chassis). Tires should be upgraded to offroad or reinforced and armor should be more where there are no sides that start in the red. What I would like to see is player/s choose the chassis to be used that week. I would also like to get a chance to design the layout of the gates for a rally as well. In closing, I give Snipe props for helping another player flip his turtled vehicle so he could continue the race. Not many players would do that so his efforts do deserve a little recognition of good sportsmanship. Congratulations to all the winners of the COEs and I look forward to going at it again with all of you again next season! ......................... vet wv marshal paintladder zom circuit3 paintball raceL1 race1 pvp4 hammer circuit2 pvp2 circuit1 gwped pvp5 pvp3 pvp1 deathrceL1 triangle1 combatL1 elmsautumn combat1 northernsummer1,3,0 Posted Mar 31, 2013, 10:20 pm

*StCrispin* Beasts of the Lair Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,657 Joined: Feb 13, 2012 I missed it due to the sudden unannounced change in the server clock. The last 2 races were at 7am my time (instead of 6am due to that daylight savings thing with spring-forward fall-vack b.s.) So I stayed up scouting with the intent to register at the usual time. Only to get back from a return and wonder why CoE hadnt appeared on the list yet. Then I discovered it had started an hour earlier than the last 2 had! Ugg! So much for my 3rd place with striking distance for 2nd. So much for my bus chassis! Although last season was vans in shanty too... It was an easy win for me due to my patient and unconventional approach to some CoE races. So,i wasnt to concerned about the chassis/terrain combo. I do agree though that vans and climbing are not a good mix. Just like standard tyres in Firelight. some th ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Mar 31, 2013, 11:29 pm

Lord Foul .-^-HellRazors-^. Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Rules Council Posts: 3,543 Joined: Jan 12, 2008 We had the sporty van in Shanty last season as well. I found it challenging simply due to the poor handling and chance to turtle. They are also good for ramming other players. I do agree there should be a better mix as some of the same chassis keep coming up every season, while others are rarely seen. ......................... vet race1 deathrce1 wv zom circuit1 pvp1 northernsummer community circuit3 paintball55,206,126 Posted Apr 1, 2013, 1:48 am

Yeah I dont pay alot of attention to the time change.  Presonally I think it it stupid. For 2 weeks it just threw me off whrn events at 6 became events at 7 and then poof back to 6!  I didnt notice last year because CoE3 didnt exist (so I was sleeping instead). ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted Apr 1, 2013, 1:59 am

Sarge K R U Autodueller Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Members Posts: 392 Joined: Mar 6, 2011 Well the CoE3 in Shanty was admittedly a stupid layout, but the "Sporty" vans were fine for me, it was just the first gate that was a nightmare. I understand the need for random placement, but maybe there needs to be zones where the gates cannot appear or something? I guess it would be too much trouble to vet the gates beforehand? Either way I enjoyed the CoE3 race round Shanty - especially the first 10 minutes during which I was crying with laughter - then, for sure, there were 30 mins of trying to unturtle a van, but there you go ......................... vet wv0,3,0 Posted Apr 1, 2013, 8:48 am
