>boomerang nerfgod finally
>>736060572>Reduced the number of consecutive throws allowed.good, get boomerang out of my inventory faster, and less boomerangs on the field
no additional costumes tho
>>736061162keep crying bitch
>>736060572Still playing Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart 8.
>>736060572still $80still not buying
They’ll never change the online Grand Prix to be like it was in previous games huhWe’re gonna be spending majority of the time driving between tracks instead of on them
>>736061162>please PLEASE stop talking about video games
Are intermission courses still mandatory in online races because I ain't touching this piece of crap again until they're gone
>>736060572>wake me up when they add 200cc
>It is now possible to be hit by lightning and Spiny Shells immediately after being crushed by things, such as Thwomps.
>>736061392fuck you, i like those tracks it's fun to be able to drive somewhere that feels like a real place and is like going on a roadtrip off-road race rather than getting lapped by autists spamming tricks and speedrun faggotry routes practiced a thousand timesreminds me of the fun i had in mario kart 64 just being in wonder at the massive tracks that felt like real places in the mushroom kingdom with amazing music
>>736061470Oh fuck didn't mean to greentext
is bomb blast even in the online rotationi keep getting balloon and coin runners
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSJoD2Q8aR4You can now actually use the Bill for shortcuts.
They nerfed bagging. Fuck them. Now bullshit like gold shells can be pulled in 18th and garbage like boomerangs and red shells can be pulled in 14th. I don't know what other changes they made. I heard they lowered the placement you get boo in as well
>>736061470In 8 200CC needed specific per track "slowdown" hitboxes to work, they probably need to test a lot of shit to make it work in this kind of game
>>736061762>They nerfed baggingbased
>>736061162brownest post on /v/rowns right now
>>736061392I've come around to the intermission tracks.It's the only way heavyweights can be viable anymore.
>>736060572>post-hit invincibility now depends on weightI thought it already did.
>>736061470Due to everything being on the same map in World it's probably just not possible.If you do connecting courses between two levels in say vs and have one player just sit still at the start of one level they'll get disqualified once the other player gets far enough away. Not a problem you'd see normally but at 200cc speeds it would likely come up.
>>736061162what a sensitive faggot lmao
>>736060572>still no 3-lap tracks>still can play Mario Kart in Mario KartI sleep
>>736061762t. Shortcuck
>>736062268Retard
>>736062303Wake me when they add the ability to race on the tracks without joining a faggot discord. Nigger.
>>736060572Who cares game is 90% intermissions
saarrr do not redeem the world
>>736061556it's definitely in rotation now, I just got it
>>736062562i must be chronically unlucky then, good to know
Why would they nerf boomerang? That's like one of the worst items.
>>736062605definitely feels more uncommon than the other 2, though maybe rng bullshit
>>736060572>Boomerang nerf Good>Invicibility depends on weighteven betterAll they need to do is stop track babies from melting down.
does it really take this long to fix simple shit?
>>736062679Most of the time no one who gets it wants it because speed boost items are much more desirable so less throws and shorter range means the player can get rid of the boomerang faster to roll for a better item.It's a nerf in theory but in practice it makes the item less bad to get
>>736062679boomerang is a pretty busted item because it can't be stopped by shells.
woo i won bombs away
>>736063174you got lucky
>>736063327no, he STOLE my win
>>736063373lmao he did
>>736060572How is the battle mode in World?I loved the one in 8DX cause all of the different modes. Especially Shine Thief and the Piranha Cops one.
stop hiding bitch
>>736063414>How is the battle mode in World?6 of the 8 maps are just sections of tracks again, a mistake repeated from vanilla 8. The other two are Big Donut and one that combines Thwomp Desert and Chain Chomp Wheel. Shine Thief and Renegade Roundup got cut.
having 1 balloon feels stressful wtf>>736063373hehe>>736063539no
>>736060572Can you select the new bomb mode or is it part of a random rotation with the other modes? I never touched battle mode so I don’t know how it works.
>adjusting the boomerang every single patchHoly shit, just make it work like the previous one.>3 tosses and it's gone>no meter>tossing it and touching an item box replaces it
lmao that lower area just became a death pit, got sniped trying to escape..
>>736063596>having 1 balloon feels stressful wtfyeah
>>736061392Vast majority of the content is in the the in-between tracks. There are 202 unique routes.They don't want you to ignore all of that just for the 32 tracks. They should have made them more challenging to drive on, but that's their mentality.
>>736063587>6 of the 8 maps are just sections of tracks againWtf whyyyy???They got it right with 8DX?? They made proper arenas!! Are the tracks at least shorter or arena-like versions? Or are they just like in OG 8 where you might as well be playing in a race track but with more items?
>still no actual volume slider>still no jukebox>still missing MK8DX battle modes>still no option to stack costumes on the menu>still no Bananza racers
>>736063763I was laughing seeing so many explosions>11th placelmao
>>736061590Fucking based
>taken out by a boomerang out of literally nowhereWHAT THE FUCK
>had 1 balloon left with like 6 points>try wall riding and get sent out of bounds>dieAAAA >>736063946chasing you with the star felt funny
>>736063893>Or are they just like in OG 8 where you might as well be playing in a race track but with more items?Unfortunately this. Some are areas of the tracks with barriers removed, others are parts of intermissions. For example, DK Pass is just the ski slopes area where it sucks to head up the mountain and items just fly everywhere due to the bumps. Dino Dino Jungle is also a weird part of the map with a bunch of off-road spots that slow you down and they just dumped the dinosaurs on it. They're all big and empty.
Game is still meh
>>736064158>had 1 balloon left with like 6 points>try wall riding and get sent out of bounds>dieI saw that >chasing you with the star felt funnyI was so scared
eat star motherfucker
>>736064330I lost all my balloons in under a minute
faaawk why are you 2 circling the tree with me lol
>Ni intermission updatesI understand they can't do it literally every patch but with 200+ intermissions they REALLY need to add more hazards/variations.The only thing I actually dislike about intermissions is how many of them are just barren and empty without fun obstacles/hazards, specially since they HAVE the hazards already, they're just stupid space for some reason.
>>736064514Good that's what you get for hiding
NOOOOO man that was super hard mode i was on 1 balloon in the first 30 seconds, somehow got 12 points before dying
>>736064724I died not even half way through
>>736064724Lmao
where and what are you faggots playing
>>736064870We're playing mario kart obviously
>>736064870just playing battle in worldwide, joined off the friend list
>>736061512Realistically they need to cut item spam down a lot and make bigger courses like we used to in those days.
>>736061392An easy fix would be to make it so you have to do 3 laps when you reach the track instead of one
FUCK THAT DRY BONES FAGGOT
holy shit I just watched you get absolutely demolished, grade A mario kart bullshit lol
>>736065114FUCKING BULLSHIT
>i got to take out your last balloon in the first 30 secondslol you got put in the blender
>>736065063That would suck. Who wants to play 7 minute tracks? That also just makes the intermission portion completely pointless because you don't have to set yourself up for success on the last lap like typical since there would still be so much track left to drive
I suck at coin runners
>everyone else is having fun in Mario Kart World with their Switch 2>meanwhile I have to pay my debt to my family because I borrowed money for a new carI'm never getting a Switch 2 bros...
fuckin toad and his heat seeking bombs
ggs guys that was fun
>>736065908yeah that guy was insane, drive-by dropped 3 bombs around me at the end I had no escape>>736065943ggs, fun matches
>>736065943>>736065992ggss that was fun battling, never really tried that mode much but balloon battle is very fun and scary
>>736065742Start saving up. You'll get one eventually.
>>736066179>>736065992>>736065943You guys made quick pals, you should sign up to some community Mario kart events in your town, community events are a great way to meet new friends. Sports are another good one, nothing better than tossing a ball with a nigger and if you invite him to a foosball game at the local arcane, you just earned his loyalty for the rest of your life.
>>736066179>balloon battle is very fun and scaryyes it's very stressful
New costumes for DK and Pauline fucking when?
>>736060572Boo! No new characters!
>>7360663052027 if nate is to be believed
>>736066342But I want them now. They didn't even give Pauline her touring outfit despite it being part of the concept art, the bastards.
>>736066342he mentioned it as something that could drop during the summer, 2027 comes from a commenter that had similar leaks to him
>>736066523cant believe i have to survive another year to get this outfit..
>>736066305I hope they add alt colors for the side characters like dry bones and hammer bro
>>736066818RIP cancer patient anon.>>736066852I just want color alts for Shy Guy again.
>>736066523That Pauline outfit is sexo
>>736060572Have they explained why they're so dead-set on not letting you play tracks in favor of the intermissions yet? It's still the most baffling they made with this game, and I can't believe we're this deep in and they don't let you choose to play in a lobby without intermission tracks.
>>736067371>I just want color alts for Shy Guy againI want the dry bones colors from mario sluggers
>>736067861It's the main gimmick of the game they're not going to just abandon it
>>736061363SixthPost,BestPost
>>736060572Oh boy another update you will play for 5 minutes and then turn the game off for another three months, thank you Nintendo!
>>736067970They don't have to. Just make it an option in lobbies. There's still the whole Single Player experience making use of all the content, too.
>>736067934They had those?
>>736067813Anything Pauline would wear is that by default.
>>736067970I understand that, anon. But with all due respect, I don't care. If the devs are upset about people not liking the intermissions that's not really my problem. I don't like it, and what I do or don't like is literally the only thing that matters to me.
If the devs are so fucking salty that people want 3-lap races on regular tracks, maybe they shouldn't have made it so that a lot of the tracks have really cool changes that take places between laps that you can only actually witness if you do full races on them. A lot that you can't even do in the regular GP cups, at that.
>>736068198yes
I'm in the minority here, But I actually liked it back on Mario Kart Wii when battle mode was Teams-only.Felt like a Kart version of Splatoon!
>>736068704Those are cool as fuck, though my basic bitch ass would probably stick to default Dry Bones. The Mario Kart DS is ingrained into my bones. Color alts should be the standard for most of the mooks.
Is this better than MK8
>>736067861>Have they explained why they're so dead-set on not letting you play tracks in favor of the intermissions yet?It's just a woman moment.
>People were hoping for a big 2.0 update that add a ton of shit sith bob omb blst>It's dropped in a random update >So new major content Kek
>>736068869>Color alts should be the standard for most of the mooksThey better fucking do it for an update
Post-launch support for this game has been fucking weird.I wonder if it's going to get DLC/an expansion within the next two years or they'll pull a MKDX and wait until the end of the Switch 2's life to revitalise its sales.
>>736069003Can't you crackheads take five seconds to proofread your dumbass comments before posting?
Sex with Rosalina
>>736067861>Have they explained why they're so dead-set on not letting you play tracks in favor of the intermissions yetJapanese autism is powerful. It's their game, that's how they designed it and that's how it will play. Even if it would be objectively better to have the option to do classic GPs or classic race styles online, someone higher up is dead set on the gimmick and won't let anyone understate it by allowing you to brush it aside.
>>736066305I really thought they'd patch in new ones to tie into Bananza's release.
>>736069094There's a good amount of of them that qualify for pre-existing colors. Piranha plants, hammer bros, cataquacks, piantas, biddy-bud. I think there were green swoops in SMW. It's a bit crazy that snow pokies are a thing in-game but not a pokey alt. As far as actual costumes go, you'd think Goombas would be privileged enough to get some.
>>736069753I love the game but I'm really disappointed by how barebones it is. They probably did it on purpose just to sell it as dlc.
>>736070059Basically a guarantee.
>>736069583Perhaps they're planning a bigger DK-themed package that'll be part of a future DLC release. Perhaps with more playable characters like Smoline. But I still don't see why those two in particular couldn't have more costumes before then. Didn't Tour give them plenty? Finding this image took me like 20 minutes, it seems like it got scrubbed from lots of places I like to search for images.
are you still forced to race on intermissionshaven't played since release
>>736070127God I hate modern gaming
>>736070218That being said, there's probably a good chance that World got rushed out the door for Switch 2 release like people have said before. But it could also be an incredibly convenient excuse for them to save shit for a DLC pass since people went gaga for 8's deluxe booster ultra tour pass or whatever.
>>736070190Octobro?
>>736070326>But it could also be an incredibly convenient excuse for them to save shit for a DLC pass since people went gaga for 8's deluxe booster ultra tour pass or whatever.I'm sure that's the main reason why the game is barebones
>>736070395Silence, you'll blow the whole operation.
>>736070604lmao sup
>>736070195Yup.
>>736070625Just wanting to enjoy a regular MK World thread. A little difficult to come across nowadays. The switch 2 games I want to discuss most, I've arrived far too late to the party. This one is at least giving me a bit of both.
>>736071037Honestly the only time you can have a decent discussion is when an update happens sad but that's how it isyou missed it canine follower, reefbro, and I were playing batttle mode earlier >>736065943
When are they doing a real update? I'm sick of small updates popping up every 2 months adding 1 small feature that should've been added at launch
>>736071236As is typically the case, but you take what you can get. Figured it might be you guys when I was reading. Didn't know you had the first one added, that's cool.>>736071268Likely on the year anniversary, or thereabouts. There might be an announcement during that supposed june direct.
>>736071236>>736071665Go back to discord
>>736071689no
>>736071689discord is for communities full of self-centered queers or actual people you know in real life to just talk and mess around with. zero in-between
>>736071665The new mode is fun but it's not as fun as it was in double dash
>>736061796>200CC needed specific per track "slowdown" hitboxes to workthat's called "brakes", and they have been a staple of wheeled transport for thousands of years
Dead game.
>>736072061Idk my mom drives me
>>736063801202 variations of a highway with a couple of turns
>>736071976>but it's not as fun as it was in double dashI didn't know those words could hurt this much, but fuck if they don't wound the soul in this situation. Spent hours playing bob-omb blast with others in DD back in the day. At least half of those in the warp pipe arena.
>>736072198Don't get me wrong it's still really good fun but I remember it being nore fun in DD
>>736072198You know what the main problem is the maps being too big
>>736072286>>736072407I haven't actually touched battle in World, but maps being too big could easily be an issue. You want room to run around, but not so much that it's too easy to hide. Block Fort could run into that problem at times, with all its levels and the size of the whole thing. Pipe place was great, plenty of ways to whiz around but no true hiding spots.
>>736072563You should play a few matches to get a feel of how retarded these battle maps are
>>736060572Why is this game on maintenance mode since it came out?>they had to patch in multiplayer group up which is baseline in every multiplayer game since the 360 came out
>>736072723I'd actually started on it shortly after that post. Just finished up trying every last stage.>all the battle maps are altered or closed-off places from free roamGood idea in theory, given varied shit is. But in practice, these are still too damn big for what's supposed to be a mode where you knock heads with everyone. DK Pass and Salty Speedway are major offenders. The donut isn't half bad but still really big. I can see what the desert area was going for but the quicksand is just anti-fun. Dino Jungle had the best potential if not for the grass still fucking your speed and not enough dino action.Against all expectations, peach castle feels like the best place for battles. Large enough for the inflated racer count but still forces you to be around everyone.
>>736073828>I'd actually started on it shortly after that post. Just finished up trying every last stageShould've told me I would've joined
>>736073828It's funny because after the fuck up they did in wii u 8 they decided to do it again but even worse fucking nintendo I swear
>>736073902Oh no, I was just dicking around with CPUs. Wanted to get a feel for shit and see what was up.>>736074029I'd argue it was way worse in 8, those shorted race tracks were fucking balls and nobody wanted to battle on those. Deluxe saving battles as amazing, especially when they put in weirdo picks like Urchin Underpass. There's at least some fun to be had with World's battles, there was none on Wii U.
>>736074127no you're right I just forgot how shit it was in 8
>>736066342>2027How the fuck is Nintendo taking so long with this shit.
>>736074362People just want to forget.
>>736074924Seems like the mk devs did as well
>>736075215Shots fired
>>736066342That was some redditor, nate said sometime this year.
>>736075406>>736075215XD
>>736074127>I'd argue it was way worse in 8, those shorted race tracks were fucking balls and nobody wanted to battle on those. Deluxe saving battles as amazing, especially when they put in weirdo picks like Urchin Underpass.trueI hope they add back shine thief in an update, I always loved that one, same with urchin underpass but that seems unlikely unless they add a dedicated splatoon DLC pack
>>736074127Nah it wasn't even shorten race tracks, it was the full fucking track you had to battle in
>>736061762>i love bagging tshirtokay loser, lmao.
>>736075406>>736075759I mean how can you forget something like that?
>>736075859I don't see any older good battle arenas coming back since in their eyes, it would be "betraying" the world they made. Or at least that's how it feels like they think, given the updates.>>736075946>it was the full fucking track you had to battle inNo way. Was I repressing that bad?
>>736076179>No way. Was I repressing that bad?yes you were https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D0RRVkH0F4
such a long list of issues fixed and hardly any of them were prime concerns.from this long awaited patch I only see two real changes: bullet and boomerang, and it remains to be seen if it even matters. and that's it. there was a mountain of needed changes.why is it that so many games are built like shit, take ages to be fixed and then the "fix" handles maybe 2% of the problems and it's back to waiting for another patchall games now are just patch patch patch when's the patch where are the notes
>>736076179>I don't see any older good battle arenas coming back since in their eyes, it would be "betraying" the world they made. Or at least that's how it feels like they think, given the updates.They had the right idea of having battle courses in the world itself like big donut and they could've easily put actual good battle courses like Luigi's mansion, Delfino pier, and double deck but they just made them too big or have them mostly off road which ruins it because you're so god damn slow
>>736076340The sheer amount of cancer on display here is something to behold. The closest thing to being acceptable would be if Yoshi Valley was limited to the winding maze part. I wouldn't mind battling on there while listening to the best track in the game.>>736076546The only reason to have off-road is during actual races, what sort of peabrain though to keep it for battles? It's half the reason Dino Dino Jungle isn't nearly as good as it could be.
>>736076916>The sheer amount of cancer on display here is something to beholdI don't like the world battle courses but thank fuck it wasn't exactly like 8 wii u>sort of peabrain though to keep it for battles?Must've been the same person who did the 8 wii u battle courses
>>736066523This looks soulful as hell why the hell isn't the actual game like that? also why isn't Pauline's touring outfit in the game, god damn I love those outfits for them, it makes me wanna dive into them cock out and just drown in their bodies
Any actual content?
>>736077270>also why isn't Pauline's touring outfit in the gameYou'll be able to get it when the dlc comes out ;)
>>736077334and when's that?
>>736077095At least there was an attempt for World. Not a great one, but someone tried.>>736077270A decent amount of that is in the game, really. The art is always gonna look more soulful than the final results, especially when I've always had a soft spot for 2D Mario art.
>>736077664No idea
>>736060572>post-hit invincibility now depends on weightMaybe it'll improve playing heavy weights. But I doubt it, high acceleration combos are still just as fast as they are defeating the point of even playing them in the first place.
When are they going to add laps?That's literally all I want in an update.
>Still can't do laps>In fucking Mario KartFor what purpose?
>>736080675>>736080385Fuck you gaijin pig.
>>736068078Agree. This is where even the Mickey Mouse Kart usurps Mario's. There's things to do in that game everyday.After the new car smell of this bomb mode passes, it's back to nothing to do in World.
>>736060572>New update comes out.>It's just bomb mode.>No way to change laps.>No new outfits.We really have to wait an entire year for some booster pack style dlc. This is going to be a one and done for battle mode.
Where is baby Peach poster?
>>736063801Who cares if the content is ass
>>736063801>There are 202 unique routesSo why not connect some of them in a circle, and let us race laps on them?
World has to be the biggest disappointment since GBA mk. Unless they patch it and update it then it's shit. Worse than 7,8 and DS
>>736067970Monster Hunter Rises main gimmick was doing rampages and Sunbreak ditched that shit and was better off for it
>>736061762I will always remember when MK fags got filtered by Kirby air riders because the game actually rewards you for being in 1st or close to 1st place
>>736061512kill yourself shill
The maps are too big. Bobomb blast needs to tighter maps.
>>736060572>>boomerang nerfholy based
The shock seems to be a lot less common now. It used to feel like it would happen at least once in about 90% of races but now it feels like it only happens 65% of the time. I don't have any real data to back that up though, just feeling
>still no optional desert bus track racinghumiliation ritual
>>736060572>random itemsoutdated game design
>>736061590>upskirtLewd
>>736065063This would only work if they had you drive two intermission tracks back to back to reach the next track.
>>736061363>*still poor >*still a fag
>>736060572How good is this compared to 8? When it was released I only heard bad stuff about how wide the courses are and that you have to drive to gobto new maps or something.
>>736095258I like it more but it has less content since 8 got a decade of updates
>>736095537What's the deal with having to drive to new courses? Seems like a pain if you just wanna do some online.
>>736095631Sometimes you do an intermission track which is driving from one course to another. Sometimes they're boring, other times they're alright. I think they're fine usually, especially since they let you play knockout tour which is awesome. There are fan lobbies that don't have them if you can't stand them though
>>736060572I wish they'd just remove that stupid weight system altogether. I like to race as Rosalina, but she counts as heavy for some stupid reason, and everyone is just a sweaty going light-weight characters.
>>736067970>>736068984>>736069335Yep, exact same thing happened to Tekken 8Everyone is screaming at the devs to change the core philosophy of the game beacuse it's simply not fun, but they stubbornly refuse to budge or admit they were wrong, while players leave in droves
>>736094952MKW is a downgrade
>>736096004Doesn’t the game have like a 95% attachment rate? You say that like the game’s actively dying

>>736097787meme meme meme meme slop slop slop slopGet some new words
>>736069335Fuck these assholes. I want to play full 3 laps tracks. Other games already have devs listening to their players and significantly changing and balancing things Sonic CrossWorlds so why can't Nintendo give us the choice?Most people online not even a fraction of the whole player base I know I know, but on the internet is where people can have some kind of voice for better or worse don't enjoy doing intermissions so why not give us the option to choose between both options?It's not like the open world is going to magically disappear, it'll be there, we'll still play it during knockout tour or whenever we want given the option so why are they afraid of giving people what they want.I love all the QoL things and upgrades World has given us, but this is the first Mario Kart game where I feel like going back to the previous entry to have more fun racing.
