LRC Game Update 2

[Trijhak]

Oh.
If I get to Beta Test it and no-one else from here does, then... meep.
I'd have no recognizable team mates then...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Until Beta's over that is =P

[Trijhak]

Oh yeah. =P
I hope there's not a CPU Team this time...


Wait, about that, were you against others or against CPUs?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Both. Their were "Bots" that you raced if there weren't any human players to race, and there were also actual people. Usually the bots were weaker than the human players, but I think there might've been some exceptions to that. You also raced CPU opponents in the License tests.

But... While bots were weaker, they also didn't give any Win percentage downs, or very little, to the team you raced.

[Trijhak]

Okay, now I;m confused.
Couldn't you buy stuff to upgrade your car? I remember buying one of the items that looked like an engine... LEGO Engine that is... Maverick or Nitro... which was I?

Also, what do you mean by 'Win Percentage Downs'?
I didn't play it much, although when I did, I loved it.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah, you could, but say where you had two slots, the bots only had one. You could also upgrade how many slots you had and what the stats were as you progressed in the ranks.

Were you blue and yellow, or green?

[Trijhak]

Yeah, you could, but say where you had two slots, the bots only had one. You could also upgrade how many slots you had and what the stats were as you progressed in the ranks

*begins to remember the awesomeness of DRC*
And... I was Green, I think.
And does that mean the Bots never upgraded and were as easy/hard as they were as last time?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

No, they got upgraded as you progressed in ranks, but they were supposed to be fill-ins when there wasn't anyone else to race

[Trijhak]

Oh... did you race players of all ranks or were they limited to just the players/bots of your rank?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Just of your rank, otherwise Class A players would own the Class E players with their uber cars =P

[Trijhak]

Oh, right.
Were the race trakcs random or not?
PS. Your New banner is strange... why did you exceed bandwidth?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

That'd be Jas... =P

No, the challenges and when they'd activate or not were, but the tracks... Well technically it was just you went into a race, and had the option of watching or skipping it. There were six zones, Ice, Beach, Desert, Jungle, High Speed, and Urban.

[Trijhak]

Oh. So it was just a random chance of winning? Or did you need to watch to ensure that you'd win? And were the areas ranked in hardness? Cuz High Speed sounds high-ranked.
I can't really remember the last time I played DRC...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

It was all random, but having higher stats and parts than your opponent just about guaranteed a win for you. 'specially if you had the "Class C" cars and you were in Class E and racing the new people =P

No, you didn't have to watch unless you really wanted to.

No, you just had to have your cars outfitted right, like chassis stuff for Jungle, Wheel stuff for Beach, and Engine stuff for High Speed. Nitro and Zero fought over High Speed a lot.

It had to have been around two years or more now, since it was taken down around April '07.

[Trijhak]

More than Two years ago... I wish I could warp back in time. =P
And just be outfitted right? That must've been why I lost every single race I raced, probably due to using chasis stuff on high speed...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Well, that and starting on different lights and risking more or less at the end... =P

[Trijhak]

Risking? Lights? 0_o.

LRC is gonna be awesomer than I could imagine.
And hopefully against other players... If I end up against some from here, then I'll LOL.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

1 a. Risking is going all out, a bit, or not all all at the finish line, and if you fail, you lose 5 m, 2m, or nothing respectively. b. This is a rock-paper-scissors type of thing, you choose either red, yellow, or green, and if it beats the light your opponent chose, you gain a few m. If it's "weak" to your opponent's light, you lose m though. This one happens at the beginning.

2. Yeah, 'specially if it has the same type of things I was just mentioning. heck, maybe this is part of the reason we can't skip, so we can choose it as it happens =D

3. If they don't make it be against others, after the success of DRC because of that, they'd be making a mistake in that terms =P

[Trijhak]

LRC's gotta be against other players and Bots...
Also, once I get the hang of playing it... when it comes out... I'll have a few evil tricks up my... car bumper thing.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Just watch out for me when you get started =P
