iPad Disc Drivin' - Turn-based online multiplayer racing!

+1 above. This definately needs sorting, the current 8 day limit along with the 20 race limit is seriously holding the game back. Everyone I know who plays this is struggling with the 20 race limit, I would like to play so much more but just can't. As someone else posted in this thread I'm now running the paid and free app to help with the situation but its not ideal.

Things this game desperately needs;

1, set timeout/kick time at game setup
2, increase 20 game limit, the more the merrier
3, Many more tracks
4, stat tracking
5, ability to decline a race ( would be better than resigning )

 

Doesn't sound promising. My ratio is about 50/50 and the games that are giving me problems are actually games organised through a forum. Organising a tourny through a forum seems like a great idea and everyone is keen to sign up and take part but then it only takes 1 dickhead to completely screw it up for everyone and there's no way to deal with him. Like I've mentioned previously I'm in a game that is currently 37 days old because some idiot pops up every 5th or 6th day and makes 1 move. If custom time limits are hard to impliment atleast drop it to 1 or 2 days, 8 days is rediculous.

 

Just a thought on powerup activation that we've discussed before, apart from allowing you to have the powerup on the left side, how about being able to tap'n'hold to make it GLOW before you take your turn, so if I set the JUMP to GLOW, the moment I swipe it performs an INSTANT jump for those trick moves when you are trying to jump over the sides of the track. Instant bomb/oil/drops etc..... anyone like this idea?

 

Yes, its anoying when you are right behind an obstacle and want an instant ghost but there's no way your going to hit it in time.

 

Pixelocity, ok so it may be to difficult to update the game with 'pre-set' turn times.

Please consider at the very least dropping the days allowed to take a turn from 8 to like, 2. People that take over 2 days to take a turn have either forgot about the game altogether or are not into playing that much. I'm busy all day and I still find a way to take my phone out of my pocket take a couple turns and slip it back in, doesn't even take 45 seconds! And I take at minimum 20-30 turns a day throughout the day, and that may be undershooting a little bit.

And I'd really like to see some sort of stat tracker but now it's getting to the point where I'm having to resign from old races (5 or more days) to make room for new races and I guess technically I 'LOSE' those races, so not so sure I'd want to see my stats now. lol. Unless there was a tracker that showed times resigned as well.

Thanks =)

 

Forgot to add to my list;

6, notification badges.

 

To add to this list. Badges would help with the forgotten games as currently if you miss the popup you have no idea it's your move. Also Gamecenter would be preferable to your private multiplayer method. Achievements at some point would be a nice addition along with stat tracking and or points to unlock custom designs for your puck as someone previously mentioned. These things would make a good game a great game.

 

I think it is a Great game already! But it has the potential of being Great'er...er or something. =P

My main request are Stat tracker & option to kick a player from a game you create if longer than a day or two. We could handle announcing the warning through chat if you take to long on your turn you will be kicked.

Thank you.

 

i just lost another game where i touch the finish line and this noob crosses it and I lose.......................................... I think a stat tracker would be great and option to resign even if its not your turn

 

A design your own track mode would be a nice feature.
I'm gospvg by the way if you want to play.

Also does it still have the 20 game limit?

 

Anyone wanting to add another regular player, feel free to add me. Player name is Wintrymix.

 

YES YES YES... I see this as a must update... I think it would be so much more exciting if you could activate your ghost or jump before you swipe your disc. I find myself wanting to try an amazing jump but i'm just not fast enough at hitting the button after i flick my disc... Also i've been chatting alot with my fellow racers and i've heard some great ideas so i thought i would post them here in the hopes the developer would hear our cries... LOL... how about the ability to place your own bumpers or ramps as a power up... Or be able to create a hole in the floor or maybe erase a piece of the rail on the corner or something... Just some thoughts... IS there anything in works at all??? i'm just curious on what kind of changes are in the works if any.. This thread seams like its kinda dying off. And i think we're all just waiting for an epic update right???

dizzyjw is my race name. If you want to race and chat hit me up...

 

finally! I've had a few crashes.

 

Oooh... new content. Can't wait!

 

I'm sure this has been mentioned....but it would be nice to create a greater penalty to someone knocked off (or falling off) other than just losing your power.

A great tactic is to line up your shot so you knock off your opponent (and often yourself)...but what's the point if they just respawn in the same spot?

 

The point is that they lose their power charge. It's subtle, but significant. I'm not sure I'd like this game if everyone kept just trying to knock each other off due to the penalty being greater then it is now. I think that could get annoying. Better to use skill to bump a player off and move yourself into a good position, rather then just knocking them off willy nilly since that sends them further back, or something of that sort.

Or maybe it could be a separate mode, so you could play an online "Battle" or an online "Race". "Race" would be like it is now.

 

thanks for the quick response. I'll let my racing buddies know some new stuff is coming soon.
