TDU2 needs ...?

Iced_Bullet · March 9, 2008

HAHA lol! It's just the way you put it in caps :p

Good job :) I can't rep you. I'll go rep some people wwith no post count and then give you some :)

Baldy · March 9, 2008

yes i wanted to point it out, it took me a few days.

Andreas¹ · March 9, 2008

I can't give enough rep for this :D Now we'll just have to hope they read and take some of it into consideration :) But the more they listen to us, the longer will it take for the game :p

Nodz86 · March 9, 2008

So you finally finished it then baldred, you took your time, lol. only joking well done for doing and well written. Lets hope that eden/Atari takes note of it and adds some of it in the game.

Baldy · March 9, 2008

it was sent a few weeks ago.

Who · March 9, 2008

very nice email, hopefully many features make the final cut!

It looks a little... demanding to me... Plus, there's a lot of time-consuming animations and things you've asked for, meaning that if they put the majority of those things in, it's gonna take years to program.

Car Freak · March 9, 2008

Oh yes, THANK YOU very much for speaking out on our behalf...

There is one feature I forgot to mention though:

With the regular patches, why not delete certain cars from the dealership when their real-life counterparts are replaced? For example, the new Jag XKR is out, so why not take the old XKR out of the dealership. Same can apply for real-life limited-edition cars, say make them available for only a few days in the game or something. And when I said delete them from the showroom, I didn't mean take it out of the game. They can still be found, but can only be bought from other players with the Trade function. This will make much more sense to trading online, since you are now buying cars you really can't find in the game, and thus have a good reason to pay for the premium the owner will charge. I mean, who ever heard of a $500k Audi TT? As it is now, the Trade function is pretty useless, so this will make it not so useless...

Am i the only one that thinks that changing the server limit from 8 is a bad idea? I have a hard enough time getting good connections to 8 people let alone 12 or 16.

Yes :p

It all depends on how they improve it tbh. It could either make it easier to connect, harder or no difference. I'm not really knolwedgable in this area but ...

easier - more informtation to "grab" hold of and connect

harder - more information to actually download before you connect

no difference - well IDK :p

March 9, 2008

+ rep baldy!

shadow, you're the only one i know who has connecting problems. so i'm not against this idea.

how about if tdu2 had more cars like the skyline. you know, supra's, evo x's, impreza's, rx8's, new gtr r35. i'd like to drive those cars after driving a supercar for a while. that's why i love my skyline in tdu!

You can already specify a player limit of less than 8 if you have problems, no reason why that wouldn't still be the case if the upper limit was raised.

Nice email, hope people will come up with some more ideas over at the Atari forums and don't just repeat this :)

The final copy that was sent had some of the text changed so that it didn't sound like that, we didn't want it to look like we were telling them what we wanted merely what we wanted to see and to give them an insight into what a part of their community wanted.

TDU 505 · March 9, 2008

Very nice Baldred.

But you forgot to add something about Photomode

Removing chat text while in Photomode

Baldy · March 9, 2008

never knew about that, I've never played on pc and nobody mentioned it.

Baltoman · March 9, 2008

this is great I hope they respond the email, hmm You forgot to mention that the game is too easy as in you can get money too easy and have rl expensive cars to easly...

Eudemon · March 9, 2008

The reason for that was because everyone was split on that one so it wasn't something that everyone or a majority wanted. The casual gamers like being able to get the good cars in an easy manner whereas the same amount would like it that if you are seen in an Enzo, MC12, CCR etc it means you are progressing through the game well and have done some of the bigger challenges.

I'm sure this will be picked up on or mentioned in the official forums as I have seen people talking about it.

TDU 505 · March 9, 2008

admittedly it wasnt mentioned alot but it was mentioned a few times but still nice job!

+ REP!

I have added the actual document and list that was sent to the first post now for all to read. As far as I know some of it was removed or altered but most of it stayed so if you wanted to see what we ended up sending on behalf of you guys then it's their for you to see.

What was missed?

Fridge Magnet Rabbit · April 3, 2008

dam...too late to suggest for the document =(

my idea was to allow other people into a house you own and you could see them sitting on the sofa watching the tv etc and then giving them a tour of the garage with them following you

daizoid · April 12, 2008

Same here, too late. :)

Was gonna suggest having some good vantage points around the environment (or less tree clutter on mountain tops/peaks). Combined with a videomode with longer visual range, night vision - if there will be night, and auto-tracking of a selected car, it would be great to be able to watch/record races or cruises from afar or above (tantalus/racetrack come to mind).
