Hey guys!
I would like to point out some things about the championship and the new patch.
First of all, the new patch brought drastic changes, both in the skills of the cars and the method of playing the game. I'm talking about the new bomb here. For such a patch, I myself would like to see some "advanced tutorial", or something similar on how the new bomb works. Because it's quite hard to experience all the changes (for instance, I'm still trying to figure out what does the "bomb fight" mean and what to do with it) while playing, and in the mean time, not to upset your teammates with your bad performance.
Second of all. I think it was a very bad timing for this patch. It should have arrived way sooner, or the tournament's date should have been postponed to later. Because making this big of a change in the game just 1 week before the registration starts, was a bad idea. Those who were experienced players before now have to learn half of the game from the beginning, and it might will affect their performance in the game, therefore, on the championships.
And lastly, I think there are more bugs in the game than a championship could handle. For example, I've read here that someone is not getting 500 gear at start. I never got any gear at start, should I have gotten then? Not to mention the random disconnects, which still weren't handled from what I know. I asked other players, but barely a few experienced them, so most of the community can play without disturbances. But losing a game because one player gets disconnected gives a very bad feeling to the game.
Even after this much negativity, I like the game a lot, the idea, the graphics, the music, the gameplay (even if I'm still in the learning process of this new bomb and nitro system), and you gave me additional excitement with the teams and the championship. Let me add an addon that could make it even better: a forum topic or discord server, where players with no team could write in search for one. Cause I would like to have a full team, but it's hard to find players for it, if you don't have real-life friends who would play this game with you.
All in all, you're doing nice work here, I appreciate it!
Best regards, Naito
