Update Campaign #10 Nature has been released

this thread is juicy

 

good job brandon, you just disregarded the entire purpose of the campaigns, in what appears to me, as an attempt of stating an opinion?
the purpose of the campaigns were to be a training grounds for people as you describe as "less-talented", but how would you expect them to become better, when there is no progress in difficulty from campaign 1 and 10? And as the great opportunity it is to give extra attention to the tracks, of which there were put some extra time and effort into, why shouldn't they be prioritized? its not like they neccessarily are too hard just because they are detailed, they could be placed into different campaigns, based on what was actually supposed to be a progress in difficulty.
it is easy for you to call out "ego", since you haven't really contributed with anything that might have taken some real time and effort tbh. this kinda makes me wonder why you would even care at all? are you sucking up?

also, if the community members' opinions isn't representative to what the players want, then what is? would there be any purpose of the forums at all, if so?
do you have any statistics that proves that non-community members are all in fact worse than community members at track riding?
1/10 piss post brandon

 

if you don't like the campaigns, don't play them. if the so called legendary times of free rider are over, why are all you guys still around? the people who have been playing for years mostly hang around this website to brag about their tracks and/or complain about canvas rider being gone. just get over the fact that your beloved bike game is gone, this is the replacement, and that will never change.

 

We want to improve them to their best standard, we're not doing it for no reason. If you do nothing but moan on this forum about biasm and nonsensical subjects then why are you still around? We've been playing for years and know what people want. I'm sorry if you do not get that but that is your problem.

 

Mr_Snoogley and what exactly do you do on the forums? talk **** about the older members and post pictures of your ugly face? I don't see how that's better than legitimately caring about the future of this game.

 

i know, i spoke too harshly when i went at the layout/editor. it was a personal opinion, that were hugely exaggurated as i was already caught inside the rant vortex.
i do personally prefer the canvasrider editor and layout to frhd by miles though

 

HOLY F*CK ELI AND ALEX USED DOUBLE HYPERBREAM REK ATTACK!!
IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE!

the new editor is great. I haven't started using it yet though because I can't live without the zoom to mouse feature, it makes everything so much more fluid

 

Campaigns are indeed too easy, I recently swept through featured tracks and 90% deserve to be put in a campaign. Extra coins for top 10 place would be nice to have as well.

 

I think this isn't possible, because some tracks aren't new.

 

I don't understand why it's impossible. Aren't all campaign tracks at least few months old?

 

No, I didn't disregard anything about the purpose of the campaigns. They were originally going to increase in difficulty, but it was changed for themes instead after the first two were released and they serve as acceptable training campaigns.
You just want overly detailed almost-trials made by BHR members + Maple to be used for campaign tracks, something that most FRHD members would probably dislike because they are too difficult. If you want to play featured tracks, there is a section for that. I think the difficulty of the campaigns are fine, the detail for most of the tracks is lacking but the blame for that goes to those who detailed the tracks and those who didn't submit better tracks for the campaigns.
Also, ignoring the fact that you snuck in an insult to my tracks for no reason except apparent dislike of me, I don't understand who I could be sucking up to for calling out your ego.

 

What I want is nothing you should make conclusions about. You may speculate and ask questions, but not draw conclusions without me actually having stated anything about it myself. That being said, you are wrong about that.
If I were in charge of the campaigns however, they would without a doubt be something mostly everyone would approve of. I would however like to see campaign tracks as something that everyone might strive to be accepted into (to secure quality in both relevance, ride and detail). The criterias would still be far lower than featured tracks, because of the quantity needed.
I have also been a long supporter of lowering the featured tracks criterias, to encourage less perfect authors to make better tracks and develop themselves.

I also think there should be a new system to the campaigns, ranking them by easy, mediocre, hard and extreme, with different coin prizes dependant on difficulty. Still having the sub cathegories of water, winter, space aso. Eric

 

The problem is, this is already the case. You just happen to be in the minority by not approving of them, this is why I brought up ego. The campaigns aren't tailored for you or me, they're tailored for newer players.

I agree on that, this would be an effective way to encourage new players to become better without making them feel required to beat frustratingly difficult tracks like the current campaigns would do because of how linear they are.

 

This is a great, almost like different "worlds" in some games, having sub categories within them

 

tbh Eric hire stig to work at kano

 

i also think they should be tailored for newer players, but with a progressive difficulty. imo this would make the game more addictive, and so gain greater popularity. any other addictive game has a pattern of progressive difficulty, until you reach a stage in which you have to try for weeks to progress.
