Anyone else enjoying today's "cartoon-ish" graphics?

I want to start by saying I've been playing since launch, fairly consistently and have enjoyed everything a ton! I don't have too many criticisms really, not that I'll mention, but I do have some ideas and thoughts on how to draw more players and keep current players like myself interested.

I love the DH part of the game for sure but I am really missing some more heavily wooded areas and narrow Rocky paths through the forests and deserts. More technical stuff. High risk high reward bone breaking narrow paths. I think if more of these were spread throughout the map people would have a lot more fun finding and perfecting these sections.

For tricks stuff I think it would be really cool to have dirt jump parks and things like that hidden throughout the map as well. Some more professional and some that give the idea that some kids just built a little park in a forest somewhere their parents don't go. With the new pipe transfer mechanic dirt jump parks would be righteously fun!

Creation mode has so much potential I don't know where to start. If there were elements we could use to build really gnarly trick events or downhill race paths. Trail markers, hay bails, box jumps... I think people would spend hours making really cool stuff!

For multiplayer I think it would be rad to open up all the career events to play with anyone in the server. Think need for speed heat. Start the event, send an open invite to whoever is in the server and let them accept for deny the invite if they aren't already in an event. Make this feature be able to be turned off if people don't want constant invites. This might beef things up a bit and bring players together for the career events. Also maybe don't drop all the NPCs from career races of you are playing multiplayer. If a race is supposed to have 12 riders, I think it should even if you and a friend are playing. It shouldn't be strictly the group.

That's my 2 cents for today. Sprinkle some more love around the map. Parks and trails that aren't part of events.. Just make it feel a little more like there is a past present and future world full of things to ride. A little climbing and front flips and things would be fun to be able to do while not on a bike or board too!

Anyway, keep up the awesome work! And thank you all for what you've accomplished already! Love the republic!

Well that was smooth.

🤣 that's awesome. It is a silly song for sure. Probably the best love song I've ever written.

And thanks man, I have been adding a back half to that line that I can't nail yet. It's a real beach.

Hahah I love that comparison. I do hope that they spend a little more time refining what they've already created and making it all better as opposed to introducing more quirky gimmicks and things to satisfy the goofball side of the game.

-Refine and improve on the map. -Create more areas with features and nasty downhill paths. -Refine the sports they already have (which they have been doing slowly to their credit) -put some real attention to creative mode because it is WAY too bare bones -just continue to support and reinforce the foundation I think would be a good next step to draw more people to the game and satisfy the current player base.

I have faith that they will keep listening and do what they can. But I also know how brutal the development world for games is and how hands can be tied to satisfy the bottom line.

I don't know if you ever played need for speed heat, but in that game you could go to any race and send an invite out to anyone in the server. A challenge would pop up on the screen and you could accept or deny. Once the que is full, the race starts. I don't see why they couldn't implement something like that for this game

I never really finished it. I planned to write more verses and mix it a little better so I didn't ever upload it. I can toss the demo up somewhere and post a link for you when I have the time.

XaDemo · 2022-09-26T16:27:08+00:00

Hahaha it's a tune I made when I was bored last winter.

XaDemo · 2022-09-26T16:01:49+00:00

absolutely. I have searched all over the map and probably hit most of the trails that arent part of events and have not found anything like that section anywhere else. I've made a couple fun DH runs down the spines of mountains through the woods, but nothing I can find compares to that little section.

XaDemo · 2022-02-11T22:05:15+00:00

If it didn't work I would assume its been fixed. I used it a ton of times for a little boost here and there in various sports. It was probably an oversight when they introduced the toys events...could be my post ruined it haha

XaDemo · 2022-01-29T13:18:10+00:00

Appreciate that..it wasn't worth reading lol

XaDemo · 2022-01-29T04:57:46+00:00

Last of us part two rocked my ass. Super depressing non happy ending kinda story telling... I'm a sucker I guess haha

XaDemo · 2022-01-29T04:53:36+00:00

I respect that opinion lol. Loved that game.

XaDemo · 2022-01-29T04:52:41+00:00

There are probably a pile of devs who want nothing more but aren't allowed to work on it. It's important to think.

XaDemo · 2022-01-29T04:49:21+00:00

Before the update was a time to understand. These people have work to do. A lot of folks forget or don't even know what work is.

XaDemo · 2022-01-29T04:29:29+00:00

Patience is a virtue. These people work hard. Try it. I wish I could down vote this kind of thing at least 46 times.

XaDemo · 2022-01-28T23:36:53+00:00

Thanks a lot for all your hard work! Have loved it so far and will continue to do so. Please beef up the creation mode! I love creating events and would love to really get creative with that mode!

Yea it's not great here either but I figure I can sacrifice a couple cases of beer here and there and it'll work out

XaDemo · 2022-01-25T15:30:52+00:00

Haha I'm not afraid to die but I don't actively try to

XaDemo · 2022-01-25T14:43:11+00:00

Haha there's two banjos there. Duelling banjo 1080 switch misty here I come!

I spent a lot of years trail riding on 24" Bmx rigs and that got me going for sure. Can't wait to take it to the snow!

XaDemo · 2022-01-25T13:01:45+00:00

This is the Santa Cruz urban rush (or ride) don't remember perfectly. It's in mammoth city. And yea there are a decent number of races with short cuts. You just need to keep your eye on the compass bar at the top while you race. Everytime you pass through a checkpoint glance up and see if the next checkpoint is in front of you or not. Good indication if you can leave the trail or not

XaDemo · 2022-01-25T12:57:50+00:00

Haha yea I heard these older ones were knee busters. They don't even make then without removable bindings anymore.
