List Official Featured Ghosts

So, as we are starting to gain an incredible amount of features, I am trying to be careful with approving new features. Also, when we passed like 100 features total, I made a comment saying that in many ways we raised the bar a lot, compared to what the list were when it first started. I once had a featured ghost on Egyptian Empire with 20.93. Now, Anonyymi has the feature with 18.67.

The times changed. And in my comment I said that maybe we should check if every ghost in the list really deserve to be on the list as it is nowadays. It isn't supposed to be easy.

As I said this comment, mR..A said that it might be a good idea to review some old ghosts and I took the advice. Also, since Whisk is kinda gone, and I'm doing it all by myself, I need to be sure about what I'm doing.

Most of your ghosts are like still under review because they're new and also, I'm learning how to better analyze and judge helicopter ghosts now, so I'm just making sure that my criteria are fair and consistent.

Most of the other ones under review are some old features ghosts that I'm taking a good look on them to see if they're really worthy, or are new ones as well or even are the fast ghosts with tricks, because I don't know if this need to actually be a thing.

I would like some extra feedback on the ghosts under review from someone else. Initially I meant Whisk, and I hope he can see this soon, but feel free to share your opinions about them.

PS:This under review thing will end soon

 

I understand. I don't plan to do anything like this unless I really think some ghost isn't that worthy. And even if there's a case like this I'll like to hear you guys thoughts on the matter.

I guess we might have to rethink some of the criteria in order to keep some ghosts, though.

For example: unspoken's feature and DblU's feature are really awesome and mostly consistent ghosts, but they have for sure a amount of the deaths way bigger than the usual. Yes, I get it, they are in long tracks and sometimes hard ones to complete fast, but at the same time so are like some of those tube ghosts from Slayed for example, who had some deaths but were still impressive, yet not featured.

There's other debates, like the fast ghosts with tricks. They're not as impressive as trickghost neither as fast ghosts, but they're kinda a cool combination. Still, it's a hard category to control, and actually a weird one.

Also, some ghosts like my ghost on ghosting tunnel are like really great but it works more like a fast ghost with tricks than a fast ghost itself. And it's under review because I'm reviewing the concept of this "category". Also might be too short.

And like this one, there's some ghosts that might be worthy of a debate.

 

Thanks, man. I'm doing my best.

Also, will try to reach out to Whisk, see if I can talk to him about this. Otherwise, I might PM you later.

 

Cool. I can't guarantee to necessarily follow or agree with all of the feedback you may give, but if you want to share your thoughts about some old (or new) ghosts, feel free to do it. It's a community after all and I'm pretty sure you are qualified enough to share some good thoughts.

Thank you for the feedback anyways. It might be a time for rethink a few things about the list.

 

Thank you for the feedback, it's still helpful in some level, but let's not quit on Whisk yet. Also, you guys can always share some thoughts about the ghosts if you want. Let's do it! It's useful and it helps the refinement of the list.

 

Cool ghost. Will review it soon.

Nice one! Will review it soon as well.

 

POSSIBLE UPDATE, CONSIDERATIONS AND THOUGHTS ON THE GHOSTS UNDER REVIEW:

I agree. Fair points.

Ghosts most likely to be unfeatured:

So, the onLY "fast ghost with tricks" that is featured and it's not 1st place in the track is this Whisk's ghost:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/57539-pollution/r/whisk

I find this ghost amazing, but it's not suitable for a fast featured ghost, and probably not enough for a featured trickghost. So I'm considering unfeaturing it.

Other cases to consider:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/2468-mindtrip-aquariums/r/Rhodium
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/631619-cavernous-exploration/r/rhodium

Both ghosts are good and cool to watch, the first one I said it could be a fast ghost with tricks, but just like Whisk's ghost, might not be enough for a fast ghost or trickghost feature. The second one is great, has a great flow in the antigravity part, but it's not quite perfect. It has some parts that could be improved like around 22-25 seconds. So I'm considering unfeaturing those as well.

This is good, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it's enough to be on the list. We have SO MANY offroad featured ghosts and this one don't bring anything new. Also, Anonyymi was faster in some spots, so I'm sure it can be improved. It's has potential, though, but it's not there yet.

I know, I suggested this ghost.It's long, requires endurance, but it's smooth jumps after all. Good ghost, but I don't think it should be on the list.

Ghosts that I'm still unsure:

https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/495745-heli-levels/r/freakyk.t
Great ghost, but it's like this one (https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/499876-helicopter-trials/r/freakyk.t) but slightly less cool. I think that you have better ghosts than this already on the list FreakyK.T . This is still a good ghost, though. Not sure yet if I'm keeping or not.

https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/508734-dry-cave-labyrinth/r/freakyk.t
Excellent ghost, without the death it's a feature. As the ghost isn't long, I might not keep it if you can't improve. It's kinda sad, I know. I'm not 100% sure, but it's a 26 seconds long ghost, I don't think we have another ghost this short with a death on it that is on the list. So, keep trying in order to guarantee the ghost on the list.

Not to start any controversy, but I watched the whole thing recently, and it's an awesome ghost, but has a large amount of deaths. If we are aiming for a more strict list, I don't know if it's worthy. Might be, but I don't know. Again, I always loved the ghost, just putting here in order to you guys to see which ghosts I'm analyzing right now.

https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/1076-contest-entry/r/unspoken
This ghost is great. Insanely consistent for the most part, but it has a certain number of deaths towards the end. Since it has half the lenght of DblU's ghost, I think it's fair to discuss this one as well.

https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/287310-underground-escape-contest/r/zycerak
Almost sure that I'll keep it. But it's probably could be improved around the 7-9 seconds mark, but it's good.

Ghosts under review that I'm keeping for sure:

https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/602609-ocean-isles-ft-nefarious/r/Reborn
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/195874-ghosting-tunnel/r/totoca12
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/201964-heli-trial/r/freakyk.t

Great ghosts. Keeping it for now

PS: Yes, I'll make the final decision, but I would like to hear you guys thoughts on THESE SPECIFIC GHOSTS. Say if you think they deserve to be on the list or not and why. Appreciate any feedback.

Reborn Anonyymi FreakyK.T Whisk crazywizard_13 and anyone willing to give your thoughts on this.
