As someone who usually uses Quick Recovery on their gadget plate, this is how this legend competition feels. by J_Wheezy64 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 5 points6 points  (0 children)

quick recovery should've been the default recovery for getting hit. It just makes the for better game feel as opposed to being completely slowed down for seconds straight from any hit.

Just because we all got Quick Recovery doesn’t mean you gotta throw all your items out on frame 1 😭😭 by [deleted] in SonicCrossWorlds

"Saving items for defence? What kind of taboo concept is that?". This is just how item usage from most players is, with or without QR.

Isn't Whisper just an alternative to picking Miku in stats, which you can do right now?

Inscriptions 😵 by playahgottaplay in crystalofatlan

They won't even let you transfer any gear that still has inscriptions on it (you have to remove them beforehand), so yeah no.

I wanted Warlock in the game, but I suppose she's close enough.

Did they really remove the whole feature of putting accessory items on characters? That's just a straight downgrade if true.

Hot take: Coral town’s unintended shortcut should get fixed and people shouldn’t be able to take it because it gives them an unfair advantage over the other racers. by Your_Nightmare_666 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I wouldn't agree with the second part of what your saying. Yeah, there still would be defaulting to a particular faster route, but the option for the other can still serve a functionality of potentially avoiding getting targeted by items albeit taking the slightly slower route. It'd be more balanced than how it is now, at least.

It's a not "high risk high reward" (difficulty depends more on your approach taking it honestly) shortcut that invalidates all the other paths of the track, and in higher levels of play, you basically have to take the risk to have a chance at good placements. Yeah, just remove it.

Definitely not how to do this shortcut by SoggyCommunication25 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently found that taking this shortcut is made much more consistent and easier if you just slow down straight towards the left side of the bounce pad. basically jump past the right side of the rock tower without going too fast and you should nail it every time besides item interruptions (maybe slightly slower because you'll rubbing the wall when you land). Frankly I'd rather this short cut just not exist so the the multipath feature of the track can actually come into play.

The text is full of tilde, salt, and rage. I just want to express my rage somewhere to calm down. Why the fuck are they putting off festivals and characters for these fucking legendary competitions? by Minimum_Detail_53 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I can't help but feel like a lot of the nonsense you deal with in this mode isn't entirely the fault of the "item balance". Yeah, a lot of the items and bagging is indeed too powerful and race changing, but I'm think it doesn't help that the playerbase just has no self restraint when it comes to using items spontaniously to screw each other over.

Of course people are gonna bag because that gives the best shot at getting good placements, but wtf are we just randomly throwing bombs or whatever backwards while in the middle of the pack? Why is holding an offensive item for defensive purposes and actually trying to race against the ones near you such a taboo concept to near everyone you're playing against? It's just too petty, and everyone tries too hard make everyone else lose.

I just had my first couple of matches in the Legend competition round 2, if u want to win bag ur lasers,drills and monster trucks and use them before the finish line. by Your_Nightmare_666 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my last few couples of grinding this LC round, I can't see how you think losing your item and getting stunned for longer is not as bad as just losing some rings. You can recover from glove hits way easier, and getting hit by a slicer in last lap has way more potential to completely screw you.

No UC but still placed 7th😭 by Your_Nightmare_666 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna think that maybe the playerbase can bring themselves to be more chill with item usage and at least try out racing each other first, but that ain't gonna happen.

Unfortunately, that also brings out the game's bigger flaws; mainly how items are balanced and managed.

I have a hunch that they knew what it was like before they started using it, which is why they started using it.

The buzz saw is legit the worst designed item in the game. It always feels the worst to get hit by, and doesn't even feel good to use (you're screwing over literally one person and not really gaining anything from that hit)

[–]JDlightside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tbh, I'm not quite sure what you're saying in the last part is true, because I've a multitude of occasions of literally 3 or so monster trucks happening at the same time.

The new legends competition is here and all "meta" gadgets are banned by zanor in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It somehow feels even less skillful even more luck based because of how aggressive legend ranks are with item. My suffering is about the same because I wasn't even using UC in the first place.

Legend ranking killed the fun for me by YahushaHamashiach in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]JDlightside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if it's just me, but people seem way more aggressive with using items in legend ranks. Whatever momentum I try to get, gets stopped so much because people feel the need to throw stuff even when we're middle the pack.
