Somerset Dirt Racing Track, Community's track handling poll

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 This is part of a project to add a difficulty level indicator aside tracks description, in order to help new users to figure how difficult is driving on a given track. It is obvious, it's based on a combination of player's experience, as well as character's driving skill. When voting, please try to be as neutral as possible, and to recall when you just joined Darkwind!  Track picture: Original design and concept by Sam. Polishing and eye candy features by viKKing. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jan 10, 2007, 12:28 pm Last edited Jan 26, 2008, 3:28 pm by *viKKing*

Some obstacles to maneuver and nice banked turns so you don't fly off the track. Consistent pavement for traction. ......................... vet Posted Jan 12, 2007, 11:21 pm

The crowding to get inside of the holes can get nasty, and the last uphill and the last downhill turn (at the finish line) takes some practice, but once you've got it, it's not too bad. (unless you get caught in the middle of a pile of sideways NPCs at the finish in a pro race and get held up for _10_ turns while you lose _7_ places) Bitter? Me? What would give you that idea?

*Toecutter* Toecutters Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 945 Joined: Oct 31, 2006 The bounce next to the second pit can be murderous as well, the ground is very uneven there and after the straight you usually get some air. digging the nose of your car in the ground commonly occurs after the jump resulting in some front armor damage quite often as well as producing some wierd angles entering the next turn. ......................... marshal vet race1 elmsautumn wv Posted Jan 18, 2007, 9:52 pm

That's what they were invented for... ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jan 18, 2007, 10:30 pm Last edited Jan 18, 2007, 10:31 pm by sam

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 Sure, Sam, we'll do it. Have you thought in integrating a few graphics in the description windows? This could be helpful for chassis, weapons, etc. ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jan 19, 2007, 9:39 am

Not that we have any images for the weapons of course! ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jan 19, 2007, 11:52 am

*viKKing* Skulls And Bones Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Contributors Posts: 4,249 Joined: Oct 12, 2006 Your thoughts make sense too. But mine was intended for a graphical scheme highlighting range and damages... ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Jan 19, 2007, 12:15 pm

Yes, nice idea :-) Ideally we need some kind of chart that indicates: 1. Range accuracy 2. Range damage (some weapons damage reduces at distance - e.g. machine guns, while others do not e.g. rockets) 3. Little icons attached indicating the amount of ammo they can hold, the skill they use (gunnery or large guns), and their category (targeted, dropped, melee) ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Jan 19, 2007, 12:23 pm Last edited Jan 19, 2007, 12:25 pm by sam

*Speedealer* Fish Heads Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 922 Joined: Dec 11, 2006 that would be awesome! I tested the guided missles and I'm still not sure if it's a large guns or gunner skill. ......................... marshal vet combat1 race1 northernsummer combatL1 Posted Jan 19, 2007, 8:41 pm

Nekojin Cats Laughing Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Contributors Posts: 1,039 Joined: Jan 19, 2008 An overall easy track, it's a reminder that nothing in Darkwind should be taken for granted. While not actually one of my favorite tracks, this one has a special memory for me. It was on this track that I took part in an all-player race (we had so many live players that we bumped ALL of the NPCs out), which resulted in my first - and so far, only - player kill, and my being a Hero in Gateway. In a Race, not a Deathrace. The driver was a player bandit, you see... Observe the following image. No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. That car's a good 40 feet in the air - after clipping my rear bumper. That's the only reason I got credit for the kill - I was the last person he had contact with before crashing nose-first back down to the ground in front of me. He was killed instantly. ......................... vet deathrceL1 wv cont Posted Jun 10, 2008, 1:48 am
