Update Campaigns and other stuff

SWEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN NOT WAIT!! I am sooo excited for this and for these "other announcements" ^^ Umm I would suggest something that is easy for a lot of people to draw for the theme. MAYBE the theme could be something like a bike park (something like whistler?) (You Canadians should know about that right?) Anyway we could give it a name pre-contest and then everyone could make their own interpretation of a bike park. Each campaign level could be a different part of the park and all 10 (or however many) making the whole bike park. Also if you do open up the next contest and announce it on the FRHD site I think you will see a decent increase in forum activity and registration ANyway I am eager to see what the campaign will look like (and which levels will be in it!! ) haha okay I'm done..

 

Mouth watering...
I vote for Future.
Also, if the first campaign will be Intro, then newcomers coming that week will be the only people who will be benefited from it? Campaigns are weekly tracks?

 

I m under the impression that campaign tracks will always be listed. Once a campaign track always one (I think) So any future newcomer should benefit?

 

So, they add tracks every week? Well, then that's fine.
We are excited about Campaigns when we ourselves don't know what exactly it is.

 

Yea hard to say? I know they said something about every week. But also people seemed to want about two weeks to do the contest that way if you didn't see it in the first few days you still had time so I could see something like doing 3-4 new campaign contests every 2 months. At least until the campaign becomes more solidified, then I can see it slowing down a little and the contest becoming a bigger deal and being larger and much harder to get a track in. But I really have no idea? I am just excited!! >: P

 

lol can't wait for it either

 

Sounds nice. Keep up the good work.
Also, when will a chat-room be real?

 

Just 1 more query.
You said beating a track will unlock the next one.
But will players be able to play previous campaigns. Or do you have to complete a set of 10 tracks to play the next set, i.e. newcomers will always see the Intro Campaign.
I don't seem to find this answered in that post.

 

Sounds awesome Can not wait!!!

 

I think that it will work to where the first track of campaign 2 is like the 11th track so you would have to finish campaign 1 to unlock #2 if you were a new player. That is my impression

 

I think it would be better to have the chat room in the forum, because it would not only bring more attention to the forum, but also it would not make the game slower like on FR3.

 

I think that the next campaign should be advanced Intro.
How to do a backflip and when.
how to pump and when (I still haven't mastered this)
Why multiple black lines along the same plane makes the rider go faster.
And other stuff like this.

 

Oh and a detailing track would also be nice. "Guide to Detailing" would be an awesome pick for that
(im working on an "Easy Detail" track my self)

 

I too would vote for chat in forum

 

I'm so excited for this ..
I think the theme should stick to the most common one found within the Free Rider community: dirt jumps or mountain. This way you could slowly introduce the newer players into what they will see a lot of within the community. Not only that, but those tracks are easy to make, and won't frustrate new players if they wish to try and make a track with that theme. (For example, a dirt jump is a lot easier to make than a Roman Temple or whatever).
But, a newer theme demonstrating the awesomeness of FRHD's range of themes will also work, hopefully "wowing" the player and bringing them back for more. I can see futuristic tracks having this effect.

Regarding speedy__XD 's idea about the bike park, I think it would be too difficult for newer players to complete bike park tracks, as they tend to have a lot of tricky landings, as well as many not-so-smooth ramps. This may frustrate the player and cause them to give up and leave.

That's just my input on some ideas.

Yea I could see that, it was just an idea.. I think I would vote for dirt jumps if it came between mountain and dirt jumps

 

Just saying guys, the selection for tracks to be in the campaign is already there.
Log off and look at the beginners tab, these are the (main) candidates for the campaign.
