FireFly Posted Dec 23, 2013, 11:25 pm	So,  there is something I've been wanting to put together for a long time but it's currently not possible to happen unless sam will make a few changes, going to post it here to see if I can find enough support for him to make these simple changes  5 Stage Wilderness Rally Each event is run with a different car class and engine loadoute, with one week between them. I can help provide vehicles if you cannot bring your own within the designated class. To entice further, I am willing to throw this in the price pool right now. 6x Fire Engine 2x Heavy Laser 5x Laser Other Stuff' There will be prices for each stage of the event and a price for the overall winner, I will be keeping track of points. Even if you lose the two first races you can still score a fire engine by winning a third. However for this to happen I need you guys to help me convince sam, well, if I've convinced you I need your help. I'm going to make a few examples here to show what I mean. Race 1 Map: Blown with the Wind Car Class: Muscle Engine Class: 3.2lv8 Race 2 Map: Undecided Car Class: Buggy/Dustup Engine Class: larger than currently allowed Race 3 Map: Undecided Car Class: SUV Engine Class: Same as buggies Race 4 Race 5 Here are the problems. 1. We need Wilderness (non gate maps) rally events AND the ability to set up a custom rally event, I can't imagine this can be to hard to setup for Sam if we ask nicely Both Buggy and SUV vehicles are used in real desert racing, much more so than muscle vehicles, the problem here is that... 2a. The buggy/dustup have their speed limits and engine capacities set to criminally low levels, it would be a pretty boring race as it stands. 2b. SUV's could make for fun desert racing, but we need the ability to put larger engines in them for this to work. I've sugested larger engine bays in the past for SUV's but maybe sam could increase it for the duration of this leg of the event at the very least? Those are the most important points for now, I'm going to expand on this and draw up a detailed plan if I can get more support for it. For now, have a good xmas everyone!
*Snipe* Posted Dec 23, 2013, 11:57 pm	I totally agree and full support this idea. I have wanted to have the ability to spawn a random rally event since they came about. Plus I also like the idea of making hard to use chassis usable - if not just for these events.
Racing Robbie Posted Dec 24, 2013, 12:27 am	I'll vote for this Not so bothered about the engines, for me class racing (all the cars the same, and comes down to driver skill) is some of the closest and best value for money - but if it gets this event going then go for it But being able to create rally events, yes please!!!!

*SmokeyKilla* Posted Dec 24, 2013, 1:08 am	Sounds great....question will their be guns?

Partially because I'd like to keep the factional shinnangians out of this but mostly because I simply enjoy racing. That, and guns would keep the speed down
Bolt Thrower Posted Dec 24, 2013, 1:34 am	I would be for this. Like Racing Robbie, not sure if we need the cars modified. Buggies and Dustups can go faster than you probably want them to on rough terrain.

Last I checked, the buggy quite literally cannot pass 50kmh, trimmed scooters go faster than that. It would make for a rather long event at that speed is all I'm thinking... That, and be a waste of the jumps you could do on some of the wilderness maps.
AugustusC Posted Dec 24, 2013, 2:26 am	While I do really like the sounds of this, *if* we can get Sam to stop ignoring DW, there are some other issues I'd like to see addressed first. If we're only get his attention for a short while, I'd rather he add 2 new leagues. Pro race and pro death race. Scheduled and prizes similar to CoE, but using town tracks. But with a 240 bulk limit (nothing larger then a Turin) to keep the 'enforcer' vehicles out of the pro death races. Plus, I suspect this would be less coding work. So maybe more realistic to ask for
*The X Man* Posted Dec 24, 2013, 5:34 am	I will help in any way I can. This would be a great event to participate in. Funny thing is I talked to Sam a couple weeks ago. And one item I brought to his attention was to add Rally races to the create custom events options. He said it may not be too difficult to add, but it was the coding he has to remember to implement. After the holidays and the special events that are scheduled are completed, I will ask Sam again. Since this thread shows interest by the player base, which is one of the questions he wants to know, I think it would be possible to pursue such additions.
*Bigspenner* Posted Dec 24, 2013, 11:52 am	Im in sounds great although I would be in even without the prize pool being so generous.
PvtParty Posted Dec 24, 2013, 11:59 am	Yeah, bring on more rallies! Not so bothered about boosting the engines, though the Dustup is way slower than I would have thought it should be, I see no reason for tweaking SUVs.
Daveyh Posted Dec 24, 2013, 3:43 pm	Thanks FF for getting it started - look forward to the big events - even without the big prizes!
PA Racers Posted Dec 25, 2013, 1:31 am	I'd like to see this as well!
Necrotech Posted Dec 26, 2013, 6:35 pm	I would do it just for the flamin' fun of it
shadowprowler Posted Dec 28, 2013, 12:47 pm	more rallies i believe would be fun,, personally would love to be able to do them randomly without prizes even..
