I've been wondering if a new CoE league could be created, in addition to the 3 we currently have.

Similar to CoE III, but where you bring your own vehicle, like the other CoE events and the professional rallies.

Whilst CoE III can be really good fun, it can also be seriously annoying, when the vehicle selected for the event is incapable of reaching some of the gates. The Sporty Van and the truck cab, in particular, tend to be ill-equipped to deal with rough terrain.

I have talked to Sam about this a couple months ago. If there is enough interest shown by other players, he may consider it.

Advantage to bringing our own cars means we will have better tires and more armor to withstand the difficult gate placements.

While some of the maps have made it impossible to complete and I agree the semi should be out, it has allowed other players to win the season because of them. If not for those impossible events, I would have won even more of the coe 3 seasons. For some it was a blessing in disguise.

As for a new coe, I'd disagree. The coe 3 was created because it was to easy to dominate with you own car. It basically alienates the players with less/limited resources. If you want a coe 4 that is filled with 5lv12 mckenzies, devilles and cougars, go for it. Any player without those toys won't have a chance and you'll be giving those with those resources more big top prizes to add their the collections.

The community is at the smallest it's ever been, we really don't need more leagues to pump even more high end equipment into the game.

I got an idea, instead of adding leagues....

Use the current COE II format, but using only pre picked current Deathrace vehicles of engine size 3.2L and higher.

Keep COE I intact as is.

on top of that, cut out SCL IV and II

make it only 3 total leagues.

180 for SCL I

120 for SCL II (revised)

80 cap for III (revised)

Point taken, but what if the cars were selected from the regular chassis groups?, SS Phos, ELMS Buccys, GW PU, etc. This way it would be something everybody has and it will make these races more competitive.

The other item I talked to Sam about in regard to this league is to have it on a different day of the week to allow other players a chance to participate. Or just a different time slot in general.

My other proposal was to have a COE4 that would involve peds in each town. Paintball would seem to be the logical format. this would allow all player types the ability to participate.

EDIT: Also we need to have Rally races available to be created in custom events. I believe that would perk more interest within that type of racing format.

Point taken Lord Foul.

We could always limit it in other ways. Max engine size 4L, for instance, or only chassis that can be built in town (no camp-only rares like Devilles).

We could even have the event select a chassis-type (though I guess that would mean some coding by Sam).

I do like the idea of having different days/timeslots, but I understand the difficulties in getting times suitable for all, given the differences in time zones.
