Anti offliner revolution
Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2012 10:37 pm
Even though right now I take the advantage of it, it's kinda boring with all those offliners in RSF and it really hurts the teams that work hard for victories how offliners influence the race. It takes my motivation as a casual gamer and I bet everyone else's too. I want a change, I can't take the offline distortion in almost every race anymore.
1. Anti offline tempo in one day races and stage races:
- After 15kms of tempo offline the rider goes out in one day races, I also want that for stage races. Then other teams need to do the work instead, so what? The main problem will be: "If I'm there on 5 stages and I miss one, even though I did everything ok the rest of the tour, I can't save my jerseys." Ok, one bad point here, but we have a good sitter system and if you organize yourself in time you will find sitters almost everytime, so take advantage of it. (I myself usually do that spontaneously because something in RL pops up, so I'm not excluded here too). Still, it will take out many many offliners disturbing tours with their offline tempo, like e.g. in L'ain 22h right now, where a team makes tempo with 6 riders after I blocked the km 1 attack. Stupidy! This happens so often, so if the good gamers find sitters in time when they can't be there, we will solve the problem of so much offline tempo. (still something to come for this, look later in this post)
2. Offliners show up 10km before the stage is finished, put in the sprint and win the mass sprint:
- Seriously needs to get out of this game, it's one of the most annoying things that comes up. My idea: You must be online 50% of the stage until 2/3 of the stage is finished, else you CAN'T put in any more sprints for your riders. Maybe high percentage, okay, then less, nevermind, but please do that!!! Teams even watch the race and then log in to put in the sprint, please change anything here!
3. The above rules only apply for something very useful we can put in. There is something similar e.g. in FIFA 12 online mode to what I'd like to see. Put in a good statistic finally, out with the stupid fairness thing (well not out, but it's not useful) and put in an online statistic for the teams finally. When you have a good online percentage the above rules don't apply to avoid regular gamers get hurt by these rules. I'd say when someone has an average 50% online time, the rules don't apply.
Who is in for this? Post, post, post, so Buhmann finally does something. It's very important!
