Tournaments - Idea for feedback

Cryogenic · Jun 30, 2015

Yeah. Char Eric This would make the game more awesome than it is right now. Maybe even 100x move often if you do it as soon as possible

Cynic · Jun 30, 2015

Anyways, there will be way more people starting tournament. There should be some kind of requirements needed to make a tournament (like official author, top 200 riders/authors) idk

Not gonna happen. If you have to pay for a tournament, then eventually you will run out money. Also, probably more than half of the people playing are trying to save up for a helmet, so they wouldn't want to pay for a tournament and lose their money.

they should release the tournaments and the shop items at once

Hey guys and gals, we just had a brainstorm on what would make a good addition to Free Rider HD and we came out with this idea on tournaments.

Hey guys and gals, we just had a brainstorm on what would make a good addition to Free Rider HD and we came out with this idea on tournaments.

At a high level here is what we have right now:

anyone can start a tournament on any track

a tournament would cost a minimum number of coins for explanation sake let's say 500

a tournament would run for x-days, for now let's say 5 days

there would be a new "Tournament" listing showing active tournaments

the top 10 on the global leaderboard at the end of the tournament would receive rewards from tournament purse (percentages to be determined)

Reasons why I am personally digging this feature:

it officially brings into the game something players are already doing on the forum

it appeals to both authors and players

authors can use it to drive engagement on their tracks and get satisfaction out of seeing the best players go head to head

players would get enjoyment out of hosting an event and recognition in sponsoring a tournament

it allows players to create tournaments (Free Rider is a very social / player driven game this feature fits well with that)

Things that would need to be thought through / possible additions:

cool-off time before a track can be ran as a tournament again

allowing players to continue to increase the purse size by donating coins (drive as many of the best FRHD players to that track as possible)

last tournament results visible on the track page

stats on top 10 placements / participation

What are your thoughts?

This is a great idea.

How about you have to have a certain number of points to create a tournament

IsaiahRed · Aug 5, 2015

you guys should add this in FRHD it sounds fun.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I could see 400 tournaments running at the same time being a bit too much (making tournaments have a lot less competition that way) so maybe there should be a restriction on when a player can host one, but besides that I love it as well.

Or better yet, a waiting list of some sort. Say there is a list on the forum where u need to put ur name down and a date of when u want to release ur track for ur tournament. If u dont release it then the next person gets to release his/hers, etc. This would make lining up and stuff easier imo. Btw this is one of the sickest ideas out

or just official authors get to create tournaments, and if you abuse the privilege and spam tournaments then you are kicked out

This needs another bump
Char Eric what is the status on this? This is one of the best ideas you guys came up with imo

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.

It is currently on the back burner, as we are working on the native mobile version.
Once finished we can address more features of the web version. As for a timeline, I cannot give this at the moment.

Really cool idea

Polygon · Dec 9, 2015

It's a cool idea, but I think there are more important things to add besides this. That's just mu opinion, though.
