Game Balancing

I think it is going to be very hard to do since it's hard to tell what other peoples design levels are like.




The Flying Dutchmen is the 100% design team I have been cloning every race before the crossover.

Drivers aren't too different

@Jamie : Don't forget what I pointed here.
Jack resolved the bug but before that the following situation was possible :
- 2 teams with 100% design > 350 design points
- first team with 27 in level cap
- second team with 80 in level cap

The first team was forced to spend 26 * 8 = 208 points in all stats.
The second team was able to spend all his points where she wanted (max 79 in a stat), resulting in a big difference between cars.

Hopefully Jack resolved the bug and level cap is now capped regarding CD and maybe team level as well. But the points spent stay the same, I think the best would be to re-award all design points spent to allow teams starting with equal chances for the remaining of the season.

Hmm i checked his CD we have a pretty level playing field in terms of staff and drivers, Just dont know where he has used his design points lol

Mine was 99Cap before you started making changes, I need wait to after the race tonight to get design points to see what changes you have made.

Chassis, Floor & Wings same as I had in old version Flying Dutchmen had 100 everything but that cant happen now?

wasn't able to do what I wanted to do in the race viewer but still ran away with the race.

My lvl cap is 76 and I won by 69 seconds in Germany in European Racing League.

The bug caused a lot of differences between teams (low cap vs high cap) and now teams are stuck with design points spent everywhere causing those type of results :



The same happened for the 2 races I took part in the evening plus 2/3 other leagues. I think it is needed to reset design points spent.

PS : I think we all forget it but I have to congrat all of the team (Jack and the 2 other guys), they are doing a great job behind the scene fixing a lot of bugs and issues in minutes.

This is your CD


My cap after Jack's changes made mine 100

Wait how is there 24 talent??

@Jack did you get around to changing how the reputation gain works?

In European Racing League Pro Tier.
Vyo Ferrari Level 19
Rednote Elves Level 18
Flying Dutchmen Level 15
Razza Motorsports Level 9
Senna GP Level 9
Sonic Motorsports Level 9
Los Alamos Speed Level 9
Xtra Corsa Level 7
Young Drivers Academy Level 6

Fair enough team headquarters, Training Drivers & buying new staff and drivers is capped at level 12.
But I not for buying new staff and drivers at level 12 unless you force me too, there for you need to force staff & drivers contracts to last only for the length of the season. Meaning do away with this 50 Race contract business & renewing of contracts, force people to buy new staff & driver every season.

I could very easily spend the rest of the season doing 9stop races letting all the lower level people finish ahead of me lol

Yeah.... That guy has 5 1/2 stars, which I've never seen happen.

I have a 6 star driver, because I am Level 11, but the driver is at Level 14. It is the rating of the driver/staff compared to your own rating.

Edit: If he were in a Level 19 team, would not be 6 star I assume.

From my view my DC has just 5 stars, not 5 1/2, but still, 24 talent? Never seen that before... Is this supposed to happen? I know that DC didn't have talent in the old iGP

Oh yeah, I'm derping hard. I have seen 6 stars! But not 24 talent...

I added your CD to my shortlist Jason :)

Lowering drivers skills had very little impact. I would say if I had of stuck to 4 stops I would of lapped everyone.


But you said you have a few tweaks up your sleeves to lower design capping levels tomorrow so that might tighten the field in the next race.

After the reduction of the staff skills to the level cap, my design cap went from 54 to 46.

The problem is, that I allocated my points before that, so I allready got 54 on the attributes I want.
That seems like an unfair advantige.

Of course, I would have been an ever bigger one, if I hadn't allready distributed some of my points at the beginning with a lvl cap of 27, before the bugged design caps were recalculated.
