KIRYU CHAAAAAN
They'll be in one day
I want to race in the festival already
Any voice mods for Majima?
hmm I may buy the pirate knuckles for this event
>>737919062Weirdly not this time
>>737919093You only get the Prime characters if you got the full season pass, they aren't sold separately, just as a heads up>>737917472I'm slightly tilted that not only is Majima separate from Ichiban despite being from the same franchise, but where he is on the CSS is different across versions. Autistic I know, but I have OCD about this stuff (and yes, the roster layout for Transformed did bother me over time as I wised up). Maybe they'll fix it next patch but if not I won't lose sleep. Also I changed my mind from a Krusty Krab boat to a Flying Dutchman, it was between that or one of the white and red boats from SpongeBob that they drive
>>737919340
finally free from the Legend 1 grind, bros...
>>737919661Lucky, I'm only halfway, but I'm in no hurry>>737919391Thanks, admittedly I stole the idea from someone saying it earlier today but it isn't the first time I took someone else's car idea
>>737919340>You only get the Prime characters if you got the full season pass, they aren't sold separatelyah yes I see
>JP account named him KiryuThis is either a typo or he's being added next
>>737917472Genuinely considering going for the PC version of Crossworlds after the free weekend, even if I won't be playing it nearly as much since the PS5 version is my main. I'm just in it for the mods.>>737919661>63003genuinely for what purpose
>>737919062Probably need to give it a few days.
>>737920858dunno, maybe they're grinding tickets for all the friendship rewards or they are very autistic
>>737920858It's just a race to see who gets to 999,999 first without dying I guess
>>737919661I'm still only halfway through fucking Legend 8.
>>737921439At least until Sega increases the cap to 9,999,999 after Arle.
>>737919062>>737919104>>737921337There's just this one right now. Link in the description. I can't really say it's a high quality mod. Wake me when he gets modded in place of someone I actually care about like Deadpool or something. They're at it again with the shitty captchas I see.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq2SuBbqeyk&t=1s
I shouldn't have to say it at this point, but she's in.
Looking forward to this one, I wonder how many will be rocking full pirate ships.
>other DLC characters>victory theme loops the chorus>majima>lol just play the full songnot complaining but it seems funny and unnecessary
>>737919661how many hours did you cap at?
>>737924514A little bit over 260 hours in total (single player, festivals and legend competition included)
>>737917472I haven't played this since Joker released. Do I unlock all the free characters if i boot it up now? Or are the fomo shit?
>>737924645YesOnly the crossover decals and horns are fomo for now
>>737924619crazy. I'm not far off yet I'm still in Legend 7... though most of my hours are spent on festivals and race park when I'm modding and testing mods or taking screenshots in photo mode. either way, congrats
>>737924681Cause they're festival right? Im ok with that. Was planning to come back for Megaman
>>737924731Never liked the silver surfer meta, so when the DRE meta dropped I hopped on world match to grind. It was very fast at the start, getting first place consistently, but when you reach Legend 3 onwards, the amount of points you get slows down by a lot and it's VERY punishing when you don't place top 5.
Trying not to rely on DRE in World Match to practice for the festival, but it's hard keeping up with these faggots otherwise.
>>737924831Yep, they do however mention that the festival rewards might return
No one playing today? Or are we saving energy for tomorrow?
>>737925494The later yes
>>737925494If nobody is hosting a lobby then i could make one for some practice for the festival if other anons are up for it
That's cool too.>>737925660I'm game if more anons join. Don't really want to stop playing what I'm playing if it's going to be just the 2 of us.
>>737925730I'm just doing WMs so I can join
Snoy Sega shill thread.
>>737924892I've noticed some consistency when using DRE, yeah. I've been able to boost my Legend rank score much more frequently now that the meta has changed. it was a gamble every time as a snap drifter before this new build. funny to think DRE is so good, Sega is disabling it for the festival
Just swinging by to say I made it into the top 100 last festival thanks you /v/ros. See ya for tomorrow.
>>737926260GG Tangletwin. See you tomorrow for some fun.
>>737926260>>737926314erotic creature
>>737920570For some reason the translation fucked up and translated Majima's name as Kiryu's
>>737926450what's doing it for ya?
>>737926450
>>737926763>Reservoir Dogs opening
>>737926763Acting like they aren't hiding the fact that they have a human boyfriend.
>Boot up the game to play a few races as Majima>It's nothing but ring engine minecarts>I'm running a speed car with gadgets I find fun>12th, 12th, 12th, 12thAt least there's no Ultimate Charge, I guess.
>>737927647Ring engine is banned during the festival so look forward to actual fun races.
>>737927647>playing wmThat was your first mistake.
>>737927731>fun races>Shoot OutI think I'll just get my 1,000 points and leave. No Ring Engines is nice and all but I'd rather not be hit by 50+ items per race.>>737927758>Don't have 11 friends on hand who can play the game at a drop of a hat>Don't use Discord>Friend Match is useless as a result
>>737927081I'm reminded how small they are. Perfect to head pat at all times.
>>737921370>TheyFuck off troon
>Inazuma 11 online ruined by meta>Sonic crossworlds ruined by metaI wonder if making a racing game with no gadgets slots would have been healthier
>>737927994I just wish we had an unranked / casual mode for those of us who value fun. Let the dumbass retards grind their stupid WM number until they die while the rest of us actually enjoy playing the game.
>>737927805>no friendsWhat a fag just like me.Just play offline bro. Set those cpu to the hardest difficulty and that's fun enough to keep you playing for a few hours testing builds or just chilling.Or you can check if anons here are playing some custom matches for fun and just join. Spoiler alert: they are FUCKING not playing right now.It's a little late for me right now to think about hosting some matches, but tomorrow for sure will be hosting to have fun early in the night.
Anyone doing this?
>>737928094>Just play offline bro. Set those cpu to the hardest difficulty and that's fun enough to keep you playing for a few hours testing builds or just chilling.I've already done everything the single player mode has to do. Challenges? Grinded them all. Time Trials? Already got all the S Ranks. Grind out the AI skins? Have them all already. I wanna play online, but there's no option that doesn't involve tryharding faggots flexing their tiny e-peens in a fucking Sonic game. Exponso and all those other cocksuckers can suck a fat nigger dick.
>>737928165What the fuck are "platform-level friends"?
>>737928165>10 or more friendsFuark...
>>737928165Saw it a few days ago in moonrunes. Guess is time for me to stop my autism and start accepting all those friend invites you guys have sent me.
>>737928217Apparently it only counts friends on the same platform you're playing, if you have a friend from another platform it will not count
>>737928217>>737928310It sounds like those people who have multiple profiles in the same console (like family or friends). Guess if you friend one of those in game it doesn't count.I really don't think they are stupid enough to not let friends from other platforms count.
>>737928165Pretty sure I have way more than 10 just adding you guys over the months.
>do WM for a few hours yesterday>wanted to legitimately kill myself afterwardsfix the fucking item spam already sega
>>737928252Got you now mother fucker.
>>737927994Sakka...Didn't Level 5's solution to just equalize everyone's stats in VR?
>>737928252>turn the game on to check my friend requests and start accepting them>only recognize like 4 names I usually play withWell, fuck.Not going to start accepting random people just for some decals.>>737928709Will wait for the festival to end and see if some anons want to do some custom races so they can send me friend requests lol.
Dead shit eos game. Nobody cares about your dead game general.
Nobody here sent me invites in all the festivals I played...
>>737928827You do. And you care so much you bump our threads every single time there is one.So thank you, mysterious anon, for keeping our threads alive. I really appreciate it.
>>737919661>63.000 It's funny saying this on /v/ but some "people" need to go out and touch some grass. This makes your average poatwr here look like a well adjusted individual who has his things sorted out.
>>737928165How do i get friends?
>>737928217Oh, i guess i should find a friend on the Epic game store...
>>737929209You don't get them. They get you.
>>737919661>when you're in a no bitches competition and your opponent is one of Crossworlds Big 3
>>737929209>race good>anon sends you a friend request>also sends you an invite unprompt Congrats you've made it.
>>737919661>Exponso getting outnolifedIt's over...
>>737929629I think he realized there's no point chasing the dragon. You don't fucking catch the dragon. There's no point once you get the last aura. Just get the top spot in time trial and fuck off you autistic piece of shit, you're ruining the game for the casuals.
>>737929629Exponso was a fraud who couldn't race without Ultimate Charge. He needs his infinite invincibility to win, and since he doesn't have that anymore, he sucks ass. Who could've thought?
>>737929693But i NEED to play a mascot kart racing game for kids and young adults 16 hours a day. You just don't get it, dawg...
>>737929435I'm on the Epic store though.
Decided to test Majima for a while. Fun animations and the ship machine looks great (although a bit hard to see the track ahead). Will probably use the machine whenever I feel like using power machines.Haven't played and don't know anything about the Yakuza games so I don't have any attachment to its characters.>arle all alone in the corner waiting to unlockCOME ON FUCKING SEGA. Forget the fucking LC and give us Arle's festival first.
>>737928165I already have 15 friends because a bunch of people I know have the game, plus a handful I've gotten friend requests from during races
For me it's catching up with you with ring gain boost and slipstream bounty while constantly maintaining the ring engine stat boost with rings gained and bumping into you with the collision boost to steal the win at the finish line. I am shocked at how people sleep on such a good and useful gadget.
>>737929851
>>737929945>>737929739>'what's that? no no no, I'm just getting bored of the game. nothing to do with uc nerf of course'
>Ocean View>get a laser towards the end of the Crossworld>save the laser and use it for that shortcut near the beginning of the final lap>get so far ahead that I stay in first place up until the very last stretch>tornado the guy about to pass me from second>finish first
>>737927994>I wonder if making a racing game with no gadgets slots would have been healthierThere would still be a meta.
>>737932379This. Tryhards will always do what they do best, and that's sucking the fun out of a game by playing the strongest setup possible, fun be damned. This is why some of the best multiplayer games of all time don't introduce stupid shit like ranks and SBMM, because this shit is what attracts these losers like flies to a pile of shit.
>>737932526I don't think having a meta is a bad thing. I just said it'd still exist. There will always be a "best possible" set or build or whatever. The question is whether that best thing can allow a decent or fun racing environment to exist.
>>737932709>The question is whether that best thing can allow a decent or fun racing environment to exist.So far, the answer has been a solid>FUCK. NO.With regards to both the Ultimate Charge meta and the Double Ring Engines meta. Holy shit I'm so tired of running power cars with Quick Recovery and Acceleration Character Kit, but I can't try anything else because the sweatlords will eat me alive for wanting to use gadgets I find fun like Air Trick Bounty and Air Trick Expert.
>>737932798You could just run the Air Trick gadgets with DRE if you really want to.
>>737932970Not if I don't wanna get raped by items, and given how strong they still are, I'd like to avoid that.Plus Air Trick Bounty isn't consistent enough to grant a steady flow of rings to keep the Ring Engines going.
>>737933201>Not if I don't wanna get raped by items, and given how strong they still are, I'd like to avoid that.It is what it is. Running DRE has been the least I've been bothered by items so far though, if only because once I get away from the pack I have room to breathe and react instead of enduring instant point-blank hits.>Air Trick Bounty isn't consistent enough to grant a steady flow of rings to keep the Ring Engines going.It's not, but it doesn't sound like you're having fun anyway so I don't know if that matters.
I honestly don't get double ring engine. It feels like absolute shit to use.
>>737933327My lack of fun is stemming from queuing into world match and seeing like 10 Minecarts (previously Type-Js) and just knowing>Yup, I'm gonna lose. GG, go next.
>>737933403It's fun. Zoom zoom lots of speed and constant ring loss is a good time to me.>>737933413You've been unhappy in these threads for a while so I'll just tell you to do what everyone who wants to win without tryharding does. Make a new account and smurf.
>>737933497>always run out of rings even though I'm spamming perfect charge bounties flawlessly>handling goes from butter to brick constantlyyeah real fun
>>737933497>Make a new account and smurf.Are you forgetting the part where matchmaking is so scuffed and broken that people as low as D and C Rank are being matched up with Legend 1s?
>>737933403It's fun to go fast and frontrun. But it's also created a divide in the community because if you don't use at least one of them you aren't gonna be able to keep up with people who do use it, and it seems it wasn't playtested because they're banning it from the upcoming events to prevent said frontrunning (likely due to the free weekend). So some people are saying the game is dying and that the devs have put themselves in a hole
>>737933605The game was doa. There is nothing to die.
>>737933597That happens every once in a while but absolutely not every game. Certainly not as often as you're getting it now. You'll have the occasional Legend 1 in your lobby but more often than not you'll be able to stomp noobs and kids with whatever random gadgets you want.
>>737927994The real based solution is buffing the fuck out of the other stuff instead of playing meta whack-a-mole. Give me real options, give me countertactics, give me silly stuff that gives me a real chance to win (buff spin drift).
>>737933836If they buff gadgets and nerf some of the items (green glove and slicer are the big culprits here, make the glove take like 20 Rings and make the slicer spawn less) they can help balance the game a bit better
>>737933836They need to go wackier with gadgets. If they're afraid of DRE they could have some kind of Ring Bleed gadget. When you hit someone with an item they lose rings but also have a set amount subtracted over time, like the DRE effect. Other drivers without ring engines could weather it, but if you have DRE on top of Ring Bleed you're crippled.
>>737919661I've barely reached Legend 6. There's time for everything.
>>737929928They removed mini ring thief from ACK dough.
>>737934226Ring thief causing ring bleed for a couple seconds would be really good. The fact that a full 6 slots thief build can't keep up with perfect drift bounty is nuts
Sega please give more gadget loadout slots
>>737928827But you guys can't die just yet. I was going to download this game tomorrow on steam
>>737937881Ignore Samir. He says this every festival and we have ourselves a blast every festival.
>I test a different gadget combo that isn't DRE>-30 points in one race due to insane frontrunning from 2 DRE users into the rest of the lobby getting trucks and drills comboEven with single ring engine and 130 rings I can't escape this shit. The only downside of DRE being negated by perfect drift bounty and level 2 charge is absolutely nasty.At least the festival will be fun, good riddance.Sega seems to be waking up at least so SURELY they'll buff the 95% of underperforming to useless tier gadgets and the rest of vehicle types right? I do use DRE (with slipstream bounty and tech drift), I enjoy going fast as fuck, but it's obvious how detrimental it is to the rest of the lobby making everything a clusterfuck as soon as you get a lead.
>>737939370>Sega seems to be waking up at least so SURELY they'll buff the 95% of underperforming to useless tier gadgets and the rest of vehicle types rightAfter how long they let silver surfers run amok? lol lmao See ya next patch. The most you'll get out of them is what they're doing this festival, outright preventing their usage.
>>737928165Already have a shit ton of friends from the prior threads.>>737937881Don't worry, whatever the tendie or speedstorm shill says is irrelevant, because they can't accept that their game is dying.Besides, with the free weekend, the game's coming back stronger than ever.
>New Drift Spinner Kit>Mini Lv1 Quick Charge (40% faster instead of 50%) and Spin DriftGod imagine if Spin Drift was actually useful.
Does anyone here even own the game on the Epic store so we can farm friendships?
>>737939780Still great for those spin drift events
>>737939780>Make spin drift maintain across counter drifts>Make spin drift deflect gloves and slicersEz.
>>737941520
>>737939884>He actually bought a game on Tims fortnite launcherSorry buddy but those chances are unshockingly low, like, expectedly abysmally low
>>737939780>>737941520SEGA: We have buffed spin drift gadget>spin drift now acts like a tornado while spinning>damaging whoever and whatever touches it, including most offensive items>spin drifts becomes the new meta to frontrun since you virtually can't be overtaken>most people just spinning all race like clowns>metafaggots practice for 3 days straight without rest and learn every frame of its animation to use it at its fullest>they now can't be touched and keep reigning supreme 95% of races>"spin drift nerf when?"
>Make the Green Glove not track you ever.>Make the Slicer escapable by Boost Wisp.>Increase the window you can escape KBB with Boost Wisp.>Decrease the item spawn rate to more closely match the one in offline.>Give Less is More a stat where you don't spin if someone hits you, give it ring bleed and make it 2 slots.Boom, I fixed most of the issues with the game.>>737941520That too.
>>737943421:(
>>737943767>desync still an issueAs much as I like to shit on World not even it has it as bad as Crossworlds.
>>737943767>>737946039Yeah they probably made so many items track because they couldn't fix the desync issues so straight line items would become extremely inconsistent dogshit.Priorites should be desync fix, then items, then gadgets then speed and accel vehicles.
>>737917472You lot ready for LC Round 5?
>>737946987Why is sega trying so hard?The game is dead and nobody cares.
>>737946987>can we get some skins?>best we can do is decals
>>737946987Gonna do what I usually do, Emerald, then promptly fuck off. I'm just waiting for Arle.>>737947061? But Sega doesn't work on Speedstorm?
>>737946987I have not, and will never participate in legend comps.
>>737928165I've been adding every anon I play with (when I remember to) so I should be good
>>737928217>>737928310it just means like your steam friendlist, or nintendo switch friends etc. don't count for it, they just have to be added through the game itself dummies
>>737947386This would be so cool. Festivals and events with special costumes as rewards no fomo since they also get added to the in-game costumes shop a couple of weeks later for everyone who missed them WHERE'S THE FUCKING DONPA TICKETS SHOP SEGA?
>>737917472Quirky Chungus!
How many hours left?
>>737950623Uhhhhhhhhh like 9?
>>737933605>WAAAH GAME IS DEAD CAUSE FREE FRONTRUNNING IS BEING NERFED/BANNED!I...don't get it. Why is this the particular sticking point for so many faggots now? Item balance I get being mad over, cause they're dragging their feet hard on changing that. But the devs recognizing an obviously overpowered build and taking action about it is a good thing, no?It's bad having near-mandatory gadgets when the goal is to allow build-variety...
>>737937881Other anons have said already, but don't worry aboot it, this game just has multiple, or maybe one very dedicated hater from who-cares-where, and you can just ignore him and play. Game has plenty of life
>>737951131>Banning items in party modeJust say you're a homosexual
>>737952241Just say you can't win without cheesing the game.The moment ultimate charge was nerfed, 99% of their users transitioned, pun intended, to the new RE meta.If there's an 'easy' way to win, most people will go with that thinking they're hot shit, only for it to be nerfed and them back to being just shit and complaining about said nerf, like you people do.Right now there's only one build above everything else and if you're not using that you're gimping yourself (I don't play online to care about it, and when I do I play what I like instead of the metafaggotry), so I'm all for nerfs if it means we can have a more healthy playground for different and varied builds.
I only play driftmaxx plates.
>>737953864There's variety in gadgets even in how you implement DRE into your build, even if it may be a bit overtuned. I'd rather they make other gadgets more useful than nerfing and banning shit.Silver surfing was egregious because it basically nullified an entire part of the game for certain players, which is item play. DRE users aren't invincible.
>>737954197>There's variety in gadgets even in how you implement DRE into your buildOh boy, let's see what I can build with all these gadgets! I'll take uuuuuh Ring Engine and uuuuh Hyper Ring Engine and there's half my plate full. So good.It's the same shit with Quick Recovery. You can't do shit with just 3 slots, and when half your build is going one way you obviously want the remaining slots to help that, so you're not going to use spin drift when you could go with some boost and ring generation gadgets.If they integrate these kind of utility gadgets to the base machines it would be a lot better, since everyone would benefit from it AND still be able to build their preferred gadgets plate.This game would've been a lot better if it didn't have the gadgets, or if they would've gone with just the meme abilities like spin drift or bigger gloves.
>>737954865Truth nuke
>>737954197>There's variety in gadgets even in how you implement DRE into your buildYou mean the one (1) one (1) slot left after your mandatory two (2) slot ring generation gadget? (PCB or dash panel combo)
>>737951131I think it's because the RE build wasn't tested and everyone's already stomped their old TT times with it so you're just at a complete disadvantage if you don't use it. So it feels a bit reckless on their part how they didn't think these two gadgets all the way through.I think the easiest nerf is to just have it burn Rings even faster if you use both in tandem so it keeps the risk/reward factor
>>737954197Nothing ever comes close to the sheer consistency of perfect drift bounty lvl 2 drift. Any other combo will fall off one way or another because they can't generate rings fast enough or reactivate ring boost quickly after getting hit. Even if you get hit, when you run perfect drift bounty you're back to max fast as fuck. Taking curves optimally without needing to care about getting the ring lines is also nuts.There's that cheesy ass travel selection bounty gadget with tech drift build but it's the most POTENTIAL BUILD shit ever.They just gotta kill that DRE interaction and make way for ACTUAL better build variety with more viable gadgets. There's too many shit tier gadgets and shit versions of gadgets that make them irrelevant (tuners vs engines).
