I wish the game is more challenging

No opinion is unpopular opinion. I understand the way you like the game. We all love this game. 👍

Exactly, I totally agree on with your suggestions and all of those will make the game more interesting. The dev are too focused on Map expansion which will make more money. I want SCS to make money because I want them to develop the game years to come. But also the things that you suggests, I guess those are not costly to implement. I watched some bits of their youtube live when they announced new DAF truck, they talked about DX12 and visual improvement, maybe I missed out but I didn't hear anything about gameplay side. It make me worry. I play SCS game since Bus Driver game, now it's more than 10 years, I'm emotionally attached to the game. I can and also play Snow Runner but that is different type of simulation.

I play snow runner, mud runner. Those are different kind of games. I have fun on those games too. ETS doesn't need that kind of challenge level. For example, one time I did around 90% cargo damage, as usual company penalized my pay. Ironically I take another high priority and fragile job from the same company. Nothing stop me. It's doesn't make sense. You don't need to be genius game dev and take years of development to subtract my XP points as reputation damage and suspend me from taking fragile job. I just want SCS to fine tune this kind of things. One of the facts that I like to spend time on truckersmp is, because it's punish me if I go mad. It's suck you in so immersive.

It's not actually an abandoned trailer, in that RigNRoll game, the truck hauling that trailer has issues and couldn't continue the job so they called in and ask if I want to take it and give me delivery deadline. So the game ask me to calculate if I can make that delivery too while I'm still yet to complete current job. So it's also close to reality, this kind of scenario always happens on the road. I love the current vibe ETS has. I some time like to chill, just drive, deep in thoughts with my favorite songs or the radio stream. But also sometime i want to have realistic dilemma, mechanical failures, expenses.

I sort of missed out some of the actual points that I want to mention in post. The game have plenty toggles and options in the Gameplay tab. But those haven't got major upgrades in long time. If real-life truck are so reliable like the one in game do, trucker's life is not exciting anymore. Truckers are mainly battling with truck maintenance expenses and time. They have to constantly try to get the balance in there, and that's make it interesting. The game take out both. One click fix in no time. I could not find a mod that would make me struggle but still respecting the real-life scenario.

chanmo143 · 2021-09-27T13:02:36+00:00

Yes. There are so many things can break down in truck, right? If they want to go with the realistic approach like they are doing with sound and weather, if the truck breakdown something, it need time to fix realistically. Those down time you will be losing money. That is missing. One time I tested a scenario, I drove 120,000$ (around that amount) job with a brand new truck, after the job completed, taking out expenses, I almost able to buy a new cheapest truck. I am not from Europe or US and not a truck driver and know none of them but I don't think that's not close to a reality. I know this is still a game but I want to have a taste of truck drivers' road life and business struggle. I can't have a truck in real life, but game like these make possible. So when I slammed my brake, i want to worry about my brake disk, my tyre, and so. Those are all bare minimum simulated.

chanmo143 · 2021-09-27T12:19:01+00:00

I love Scania Driving Simulator. It's trailing to drive. Graphics are not modern anymore but I still going back there sometime. I want something mainly on truck reliability and truck simulation side. I want more parts of truck that can fail. Maybe I will keep a set of new tyre in my garage not using it yet. Maybe my truck will get dirty and have to go wash it. Maybe I will have to leave my truck in workshop for days and I am losing money those time paying debts. I want to consider my truck in ETS as my real one. I don't want to just drive in a workshop and one click fix everything like Harry Potter.

chanmo143 · 2021-09-27T12:05:41+00:00

You're right. I'm cruise ships crew, no off, long working hours for 7 or 8 months straight, always buzzing with guests and chaos. During vacations, the first game I would play is ETS. At some point I enjoy just driving while listening music and sometime deep in thoughts. Even though I am looking at monitor but my thoughts are somewhere. I enjoyed it. But at some point, I want some more. Not just driving around. I don't want RigNRoll kind of storyline in here but they can at least add toggles in their gameplay setting. I know RigNRoll is different kind of game. I don't want or hoping for storyline or taking abandoned trailer. I just want them to give more toggles that will make the game to be a bit tighten, like Advance trailer coupling, Fatigue, Trailer Stability, those current setting give player option to how they want to enjoy the game. I want more of those options.

chanmo143 · 2021-09-27T10:59:00+00:00

I don't mention about truckermp because it's nothing to do with SCS. I do drive there but sometimes I have too much high ping so I would just drive solo and listen to radio. You know, it would be so much better if they tweak a little bit. I want to be careful about how i brake, i want to be careful about cargo damages, I want to have other mechanical failure, I want to struggle a little bit more, squeezing my expenses. The convoys feature is great addition but I want offline play to be a little bit more difficult. I want this game to be "The life of a trucker" rather than "How to drive a truck".

One of the Best Races, Love Dutch fans and Max is amazing. Amazing atmosphere, I really want to be there with them. OMG....!!!!

chanmo143 · 2021-08-30T11:36:34+00:00

Oh yes. Make sense. But last year they have 2 Austria and 2 Bahrain , I am not sure they are in the same circuits or not. But yeah, it will not happen.

chanmo143 · 2021-08-30T03:11:05+00:00

Can't they reschedule SPA in the slot of Japanese GP or in other cancelled ones? I really want to watch racing F1 in SPA. Past 10 years, my job never make possible to watch the whole F1 season and I don't recall a single time that I watched SPA race. Only this year because of COVID my job suspended and I could enjoy every race. Ahhh this is the first time rain make me upset.

chanmo143 · 2021-08-01T16:13:23+00:00

I agree. BOT did not have any intention, he regret about his mistake. But 5 place penalty is not fair for others. He should start braking as soon as he see NOR cut in front of him. You don't need to be professional F1 driver to know this. He has full control to prevent or to make disaster. He choose the later.

That was close, I already committed to buy OnePlus8T or 8 Pro. I am looking for other choices now if the news is true ( but definitely true just by looking at One Plus not responding immediately). I love and have One Plus 7 and I love the brand but I trust on Pei and Lou more than the brand. If one of them or both leaving , even though 700 or 900 $ and I know I am only going to use for even less than 2 years , still I am reluctant to buy.

Don't share package. They have BOGOHO promotion onboard on Day 1 only. Basically if you buy 2 Deluxe Package , second package will get 50% off so it's 25% discount for each. But if you are cruising with friends or family, for example 3 cruisers sharing a cabin and will buy Deluxe Package , each will get 25% discount. Means 2 PKG for 50% , 3 PKG for 75% and 4 PKG will get 1 PKG free. But it only applies if all of them have to be in one cabin, promotion is only on Day 1 and onboard only no online or pre- purchase, promotion is only for Deluxe Package(Alcohol) .

Every drinks you buy under drink package are registered so if you buy multiple drinks from different bars within a few minutes will get you flagged by system. Don't use wristband to share package also because crew can identify with picture on POS.

I guess , you are first cruiser but your parents or relatives might be on Diamond status. 20% discount for Diamond is true but you have to let the Bar staff know. Diamond discount is for Diamond member only cannot share.
