Many VR games have proximity chat, both for team and enemy players. It opens up some hella toxic situations, but hot damn if it ain't amazing. Like yelling at someone to come out of a camping spot and hearing a distant "No." is the best.

[@mandalorianmanic9525]

Wirtual talking about voice chat awakened an old memory from my time with Ring of Elysium, a BR that died out pretty fast. When they put in this particular new game mode, for whatever reason, squad chat broke pretty bad and on a couple occasions I was able to both hear and talk to people *in totally different matches*. Same game mode, same map, same location, different match. It led to a surprising amount of hilarity, and was definitely a highlight of that otherwise pretty awful game mode. XD

[@itsnottylor4011]

I don't like ranked in TM, tbh. I feel like, because it's so hard to rank up, you get a lot of people in the same rank as you that are actually way better than you that are getting held back by the system, which in part makes it harder for the less skilled players to climb at all and makes it feel more luck-based than anything.

[@neomone1989]

Also the fact that it keeps dropping good players down into the lower ranks at the start of every season means that anyone who isn't grinding like a maniac is going to be consistently out of place. They need to incorporate placement matches or look at some of the more modern ELO variants that include uncertainty to more quickly place people like Wirtual at a rank that is at least roughly correct. Having these world class drivers in bronze just ruins the experience for actual bronzies and teaches them that they shouldn't bother because they're not going to get matched fairly. This isn't the fault of any of the players, it's just Nadeo's using a bad system.

[@matthewgoodman434]

yeah the point distribution system is really screwed up. like 35 points on winning team gets +100, and 34 point on losing team gets -20.

[@FG-418]

Yeah I feel it's especially broken this season. Last season I got to silver 3 and stay between S2 and S3 and matches mostly felt fair. This season I guess it's still too early, I got to almost silver 2, today I played went back down to mid bronze 3. I was matching with people with bronze and silver 1 with Echelon 8 ranking... I also feel that the black tracks at Silver 1 is too intense, I can be competitive on blue and red tracks, but getting a black track with Silver 3 players the skill difference is just too big right now. Jumping from green to black will probably scare off a lot of people, personally I am not consistent at all on 21 and especially 24 and feels bad for my team. When I got back to bronze I either got in matches with really better people, or absolutely destroying actual beginners... Not fun for anyone involved. It's sad because I was having a lot of fun with MM the last two months of fall. @@neomone1989 I agree, I think the season reset should consider the player echelon for the starting rank with a bigger gap not just bronze 1 2 3 , that would reduce a lot of the early season shenanigans. Like Echelon 2 should be bronze 2 and echelon 7 be Gold 1 and so on. I know echelon is not a perfect correlation to skills, but it would reduce the mismatch by a lot!

[@DodgeThatAttack]

Yeah I remember deranking from silver until I physically couldn't lose points anymore, all in a single play session, despite consistently being #2 in the lobby but just consistently got teammates who couldn't even finish or just instantly DC'ed.

[@NihongoWakannai]

@@matthewgoodman434 why did they make a solo racing game into a team game? it makes no sense, there literally isn't any teamwork in this game, you're just being held back by worse players for no reason.

[@catcatcatcatcatcatcatcatcatca]

I think seeing professional national teams would make for a great esport experience! Wide map pool would allow each individual in the team to shine with their specialities, which instantly makes the players feel more relatable and interesting. Even if I have no idea who the Norwegian players are, casters noting who is the best in a specific style of map just differentiates them very well.

[@TonyC2328]

On that first map, I like how Elconn was consistently driving half a second faster than Wirtual's PB lmao absolute beast

The best part about trackmania ranked is that if you carry and your team still loses you will get more points than the other team. A system that all games should implement.

[@pagatryx5451]

It only works here because it isn't a team game and you can't impact your team performance. In competitive shooters, that would just encourage individual performance. Who would want to plant the bomb, flash for the team, be the entry, etc. If it just means you're sacrificing your own performance for your teams? People who bait and chase kills are annoying enough as it is in competitive shooters but at least the game doesn't encourage that type of play. Not to mention, you could force your team to lose to finish in the top position. Plenty of reasons why they don't add it.

[@yorampaar2011]

@@pagatryx5451 Funny that you talk about shooters and that they don't really reward people just going dor kills, but I have a feeling they still do. Like for CoD, in Domination, you still get a lot of points for killing and way too little for actually capturing the points. You should get like 50 for a kill and 150 for a capture, but now it's not rewarding, pointwise, so at the same time XPwise, to actually play for the win

[@FG-418]

Based on hearing a few TM pros play ranked on stream, I can guarantee I wouldn't want to have them on voice chat If was on their team... Also I had a couple of encounters that were pretty bad on chat in MM, definitely wouldn't have wanted to have them speak the whole match. Getting voice chat out of your team would be even worse, because you would get people trying to distract you, play mind games or destroy your ears while driving. Just look at how custom horns have been used so far to annoy streamers and others... Being able to have VC chat with friends, and other people you willingly add is fine, but absolutely should be a restricted and opt-in thing.

[@TheInfectous]

I mean you could always mute them or even have an option to queue up muted so you don't even have to click anything, VC is a great way to make friends within games and from nadeo's perspective, keep concurrent players higher. I've met plenty of friends in csgo, dota and halo in the past.

[@CDirk1]

What I hate about this game mode is that you really are at the mercy of the matchmaking gods. You can't carry like any other games, so even if you smash the first place, if your teammates don't really know what they are doing gg

[@kajaxochi8562]

MVP still gets ELO though, so you can't carry your team but you can still rise if you're good even if your team sucks.

[@assetaden6662]

You still get ELO for losing if you're the MVP. Got matched with low-skill players? Be the best, get your elo and queue for another game. It's not like CS or Dota2, where if your team loses - you lose too.

[@Truxxxor]

Getting ELO points out of a low pool (few players) is loads harder te smaller the group gets. Lets say the average ELO is 1500 and you have 10 players. It's a lot harder to get 2000 ELO from them than when you are playing with 1000 players. So getting out of Bronze (if that depends on a certain fixed ELO rating) is tough. Now if it were taking into account how many players there are competing with ELO points, then you could unleash statistics upon the entire group. The more players get added to the pool, the higher the rating is required to get out of Bronze. Now the trick is to prevent feeders. When you have a rule determining a player's ELO after 10 matches and only then it's used for ELO calculations (for all matches played before is an option) it prevents ELO-feeders. If the player(s) want to try and ELO-feed, then they need to play atleast 10 matches + score well against others to bump up the total ELO-pool.
