Why is everyone so triggered by microtransactions in CTR? Whales will keep the game alive for months, without them December would be game over for this game after the last grand prix.
Just don't waste money on cosmetics and keep DNF'ing all those scrubs with the shiny $5.99 platinum exclusive kart.

Fucking mods. The only way to keep a ctr thread up is talking about MTX. Smart on your part OP but they're still a bunch of faggots.

I haven't seen Crunch posters in a while actually. Whatever happened to them?
>switch players will never get the exclusive skins
Nth for hang time boost
The first "Nitro Fueled Event" is coming some time after the Spyro Grand Prix.
>Crash Nitro Kart Event
>Adds a new track based on cut Nitro Kart content AND a new battle arena based on the Hyper Spaceway track
>Also adds a new single player campaign remaking CNKs single player mode (will either be an extension of current campaign map, or a brand new map, I'm getting conflicting information)
>Most of the cutscenes are replaced with new ones to make it a bit more inline with CTRs story mode
>Finishing the campaign unlocks Velo, 100 percent unlocks his vehicle, and 101 percent unlocks hover wheels that can be used on any car
>The items from CNK are being added to the game. Perminantly to the battle mode as optional selections, and as a timed event exclusive to the online races
>Title screens music will be replaced with a new version of the CNK theme song
>Starting lights are replaced with their CNK designs
>Every CNK character is getting a new skin, only ones I can confirm are brainwashed Dingodile, Pura, and Polar, and classic N Trance. Supposedly Spyro is also getting a brainwashed skin too and will be using the Velo mask when it's equiped, but that conflicts with other information I have heard
>Beenox was dabbling with adding zero gravity to the already existing CNK tracks, but ultimately scrapped it due to time restrictions and work load
>No other new characters aside from Velo
Supposedly there is one other event after this one on the current roadmap, but I was given no information on it
thats retarded
theyll still delete CTR threads even if you mention MTX. Got warned for making a similar one two days ago
This isn't happening.
No way.
Fuck jannies, they're a bunch of discord faggots
You reckon Spyro characters will use Aku mask or will they use Sparks?
It's approved now.
>Went from first to third

Imagine being so butthurt you even delete the bad news that could make people leave or not buy the game.

Sparx as the power up
The fairies from High Caves to rescue them from pitfalls
Zoe for Hints
>timed event exclusive to the online races
why not make it permanent? we are in desperate need of some item balance
More importantly, what will the track be like
The gay furry patrol squad took care of them
Pretty cool, the game needs a mixup like this.
Adding more items would make balancing even harder desu
Not to mention most of the nitro Kart items are just reskins from ctr
>source: dude trust me
Lads I'm so sick of this Prix already
My hype for Spyro and the unknown beyond has completely eclipsed any interest I had in this prix
Crunch players either took the Baby T or Inbred Zem pill, autistic Coco ragers went to something more benefitting their status and Stone Age Tropys are just normal ones who cant go Digital.
i was talking about the ones that aren't reskins
Im in fuckin gold tier and i still dont get baby t. Goodness
Spyro Speedway
Everyone has permanent blue fire like how speedways in Spyro give permanent supercharge. Thematically similar to Hyper Spaceway in that you travel through portals and visit an iconic location from each game (Tree Tops, Dragon Shores?, Fireworks Factory).
>Trophy players
>Being normal
Delusional. Normal players use whichever nitro character until their dailies are done then swap to whichever character they prefer.
Normal players dont care about Nitro and just play for kicks.

Sorry for the confusion. I finished first with sub 2 minutes on Tiger Temple, my place got switch with 3rd who was a little over 2 minutes. Items need to be fixed though that's for sure.
That also, but i want to get through the nitro grind to unlock all the Prix stuff. After that, back to what i use even excluding dailies.
Dumb, polite and cute Megumi poster.
idk why I was so opposed to Megumi posts until I started doing it.

>whales will keep the game alive
Fuck off. Players will keep the game alive.
The original was alive for 20 years. You think people will stop playing this if they stop making cosmetics?
Maybe they will if the warp orbs don't get fixed.
God I want Isabella to breastfeed me
Alive as in still getting developer support, user.
That can't be done without steady income
Ohh I see. That sucks too, same thing happened to me. I got kicked from 2nd to 4th
Thanks qt

Sorry. I like you, but as far as accel mains go N. Trance is just a bit cuter.
>keep DNF'ing all those scrubs with the shiny $5.99 platinum exclusive kart.
god I hope there isn't any paid only stuff, this is my greatest fear
if not, then yes, I'll enjoye reaping whales with the basic kart, no decal, no color

>fail ez shortcuts because no speed

This fucking game is getting predictable. Online is no fun because it's full of last place clock trolls and autistic first placers.
About halfway between the kart and the wheels
Feeling pretty fucking good that I'll get to the end this time around. Last prix I didn't get as far as I am now until like, the last week
How do I get good with characters that aren't speed?
When the fuck are they just adding engines already?
Might be a com, they get clocks and orbs for some ungodly reason.
It's a wonder that games got continued developer support back when microtransactions didn't exist
it was a time where people would flock because it was a quality game
Not maining her, but I found a setup I like on her.
What developer support will it need?
They won't add new classes or items so hopefully it won't be long until balance is just right. What then?
I do think the hover kart is the best and only thing we'll get out of this grand prix

Anyone else have tracks that they shamelessly avoid playing online? If wumpa time is active, I straight up leave the lobby if the others vote for Crash Cove, Coco Park, Dingo Canyon, Inferno Island or Jungle Boogie. These tracks are a complete fucking mess online every single time, nothing but garbage power ups from start to finish with essentially no real way to escape from the item hell. I just decided to take a couple of casual online races for fun, first race is on Coco Park and I immediately failed to get podium for the first time in like two weeks or so. No matter who I'm playing against I'm essentially guaranteed to get podium on any track except the aforementioned five. In those tracks it always feels like a pure fucking dice roll. Sometimes I win, sometimes I get 5th place but nevertheless it always feels like my placement has nothing to do with actual skill and it's just a matter of who gets fucked the most and the least. These tracks are both anti-fun and anti-skill, plain and simple. Every single time I play them the game reminds me of this and I end up hating them more than I already do.
>increases the orb and clock rate as revenge for the ps4 corruption patch
NOW YOUR BACK ON MY TIME YOU LITTLE SKUNK
That was back when the market wasn't saturated and a studio could keep up base game sales over a long period of time.
Do you REALLY honestly think people will still be buying this game 2 months from now? Enough to fund development? After a dozen other games are being released?
How do we fix the online?
>Come first in Cortex Castle and DNF everyone but 2nd
>50 wumpa points
Did they lower it or some shit? It should be at LEAST 100 without bonuses.
10,000 wumpa coins have been deposited into your account.
>Why is everyone so triggered by microtransactions in CTR?
Probably because it's a console exclusive and poor console kiddies likely have a harder time dumping dosh into games in general
Now if it was on Pc, hell, no one would give a rats ass about money for cosmetics. Unless it's a bullshit forced gacha loot system like OW
I forgot, and you're right
>Mammoth is pretty cool, unless you are trying to get EVERYTHING this gp can pretty much be skipped
don't have mammoth yet, it looks cool I guess
>Fucks sake
just do ngin lab on hard, and press the button when your hand leave the keybord, when I looked at my screen I was at 16k
New tracks?
New characters?
Do you think this Grand Prix content just magically comes out of nowhere? Do you think it was all finished before launch? More content means more dev time required, and more dev time means more money required.
We would NOT still be getting grand prixs months after release if the only money the game was making were scattered sales of the base game. Especially not after used copies start to become readily avalible
I straight up leave the lobby if I see Dragon Mines with 2 or more votes
Remove all items except
TNT
Bombs
Potions
Boost
Masks
And that's really it
>We would NOT still be getting grand prixs months after release if the only money the game was making were scattered sales of the base game. Especially not after used copies start to become readily avalible
you know games aren't sold exclusively on the first day right ?
that's the goal of advertisement, that's how some games get a boost in sales, because there's a huge "event v2, incredible!"
Ouch, keep trying user.
I play with a friend just for wumpa, then play online for fun time. Makes things easier.

I think the game would be fine without more content but how the fuck do you explain the two GP's worth of content we already have when MTX haven't even been implemented?
>there are people who would vote for anything over n gin labs, skyway, or papu pyramid
user I'm sorry but your ignorance of the industry is really apparent right now.
Game sale drop off is HUGE for a game like this. Even if they wanted to keep finding the marketing (which costs an arm and a leg), that still wouldn't get enough people to buy NEW (they make zero profit from used) copies of the game months after release to not only break even but also fund free DLC. Its simply unheard of in this day and age
When it came back I made sure to have enough saved. Still a fuck ton of coin though, was hoping for just the kart without Crash's new skin but meh.
Based Luigi
You don't have to. That's the beauty of it. Whales will do it for you.
All you have to do is sit back and play the game as you always have, while people who blow their money fund the game for you.
Investment. Make it clear to the players where the money is going before asking for more. It's the same logic as soft opening a restaurant.
>Enjoy the Probulot
>Hate the Oxide Hovercraft and can never drive it for more than few seconds.
Why do these two karts cause such division within me despite having essentially the same gimmick?
Funding the marketing*
Last GP I went from 5th or 6th on Coco Park to first right at the end. I'm sure everyone else was pissed but I was happy about it. Pic related
Ok, well it sounded like they were tying to say that players had some kind of duty to pay for micro so that the game can have content added.
I'm burnt out despite finally unlocking Dirtbike Crunch the other day
Until whales get exclusive access to new tracks.
Don't slippery slope me. We've been sliding downhill for over a decade.
maybe because it's round ? it feels weird when you try to drift
Does CTR on Switch work with the GC controller?
Whoever draws these needs to learn some god damn anatomy
Yes, but it feels weird
>Papu's Pyramid over Cortex Castle
Spot the SHITTER
Well okay yeah that would be bad and I would be outraged, but its entirely a hypothetical.
It's not a duty, it's just the unfortunate reality that if you want more content, the money has to come from somewhere. Personally, I won't spend a penny past what I already spent on the base game, I'll just wait for whales to do it for me
>Tracks I avoid (leave the lobby when voted)
The current Prehistoric track, I forget the name
Twilight Tour (burned out from it last GP)
Dragon Mines
>Tracks I vote and will stay for
Electron Avenue
Tiny Arena
Hyper Speedway
Deep Sea Driving
>>>>>>liking cortex castle
Lrn 2 airbreak
>Being unable to USF through Cortex Castle
Is the Mammoth a legacy kart like the Probulot and Nostalginator, or is it a Nitro-Fueled original? Closest I can think of is the Bone Machine from CTTR but I never played any of the mobile games so I could be missing one from there.

>dragon mines
I vote for it because I'm one of the few people who can make it up the spiral
>Disliking Cortex Castle
What is wrong with you?
>Coco Park: 3
>Tiny Arena: 3
>Coco Park gets picked
I need my fucking happy hour bonus damnit
Because they want you to spend money. Don't buy into their weasel words saying it's optional.
Does the math check out that tiny arena is an objectively better pic? sure it gives more coins, but it also takes longer to complete meaning more time of your happy hour used
I swear I saw it somewhere before but I honestly think it might be original
even though it's fake af, this would be awesome (as long as Jewctivision doesn't ruins it)
tiny arena is more efficient if you aren't shit at the game by about 30%, but coco park winds up being more efficient if you account for variance like items.
>Evil_God666
Since you don't seem to be aware of this, let me share you a little secret. In the case of a tie, the upmost track will always get picked. You were guaranteed to get Coco Park because it was above Tiny Arena and they got the same amount of votes. You can use this knowledge to manipulate the voting system sometimes or just leave early if you know you're going to lose and don't feel like playing a shitty track.

Bullshit.
Way too much attention to detail, and they wouldn't plan the autistic touches this far out.
Those are quick straightforward races. Why leave?
If it sends me to the SAME LOBBY I JUST LEFT, yes.
Flat maps with nothing but straightways are crapshoots. The bad players can actually keep up on them so there's more item fuckery than normal.
Eh. Honestly I'll only leave on Crash Cove and Blizzard Bluff during Wumpa Time. Or if say, Hot air and Hyperspace show up and all 7 vote some shit tier 1 track I'll dip regardless.
Megumi!
Prove me wrong, protip: you can't.
I mean i have no issues with bad players on them. You sure it isnt just you?
The sharp turn is too aggravating. Deep Sea Driving is a way more satisfying USF map
>Console Version

>people are still voting Twilight Tour over tracks like Electron Avenue and Android Alley
Why? During the last GP it at least made sense since there were challenges to win on that track. Do people really think it's that good?
It's an amazing track
That looks fine. Only time I ever left a lobby was when the choices were Retro Stadium, Dingo Canyon and Turbo Track.

Air brake, U-turn makes it easy. Those hazards in the tubes make Deep Sea Diving fucking awful.

fuck that track still
I love it, learning how to properly u-turn and airbrake over the hairpins has been really satisfying.
Don't drift in the tubes, just hop and steer. The only fan that's bullshit is the one at the beginning that you literally can't see.
Why the fuck is this shit 9900? A kart pack with colors is usually like 4000, and a costume is 2500.

Did Beenox do this on purpose? Like in order to prevent people from cheesing the challenge they just made it so that certain AI drivers always get stuck, preventing them from ever overtaking you.
What does she smell like?

I used to hate this track until I figured out how to U-turn specific parts of the track, love it now. It's still second to my favorite, Hyper Spaceway.
>tfw you feel good about how you play
>check rankings
>you arent even in the top 100 in any tracks
I'm less of a fan of the tracks with hazards, clocks and orbs are already hell as it is.
Never knew about that hop in the clouds, pretty fucking cool I must say. But I cut my corners a lot tighter.
Reminds me of Red Shells in Mario Kart Super Circuit
Top 100 on most tracks is bloated by skipniggers that Beenox won't remove.
predict tonight's stop skin
I think it will be gladiator Tiny
Keep in mind a large amount of tracks have people cheating by abusing glitches.

Nope.
I've been doing intentional disconnects since the first GP. Some of the AI just bugs out.

Same here user, based Tiny. Getty a webm ready myself. Post em anons.
I really like that track actually, and Deep Sea Diving. But HAS is the shit.
Deep Sea Driving is one of my favourite CNK maps but Hot Air Skyway is way more satisfying to USF.
Getting gangraped with items you can't avoid or counter on the tracks you can otherwise USF or just curve/drift through perfectly is the ultimate ball buster
True, but DSD also has those fucking blades. feels more satisfying to keep USF on a track like thunderstruck imo
No.
N. Gin Labs is currently fucked because of the skip, no reason to play it online. Papu's Pyramid is a complete fucking item spam mess and one of the most annoying tracks to play online. I'll give you Hot Air Skyway tho, easily one of the best tracks in the game.
Papu Pyramid has a shit coin payout
Thunderstruck is actually amazing if you can get a handle of the USF. It's my current project that I'm trying to master right now.
>mfw you can still actually short-cut half the track still if you manage to maintain USF all the way through.

Not satisfying when it feels like it's based more on luck than anything
just buy wumpas you fucking retard
I already called it on a previous thread that wooden N. Trance will be the last GP skin available on the Pit Stop because it's the one I want the most. We'll get Ripper now, then Tiny, then N. Trance at the end.

Wasted no time cannonading those 4channel advertisers, eh, Hiro?
I still haven't bought the game, but I only buy games that can finish only at 100%, does the microtransactions mean I can't get all the content without paying? Is there console only content? for example I'm still angry of the Jap only gear in Splatoon2 btw, so if it is the case i'll just not buy it
based, buying right now
Called it.
I got Caveman Zem right yesterday as well.
Bow before me, mere mortals.
Everything is available just by playing the game atm. There are timed events that if you miss out on (which you already missed one) will be available in the in-game shop for in-game currency at a later date.
Disney is trying to move Wreck it Ralph away from main stream video games, didn't you see Wreck it Ralph 2?
Are the sour patch kids out yet?
Microtransactions do not mean you can't get all the content, they're not even in the game yet.
The Pit Stop is where you unlock stuff, but there's only certain things that are available there which rotate in and out on a daily basis. It's all cosmetics, the characters themselves are quite cheap and you can unlock them easily, if you want all the cosmetics though it would cost a shit ton.
You can get 102% in Adventure mode though
I don't care

What the fuck are you doing Beenox? This kart has three decals that are only available on Pit Stop yet none of them have been on sale. I guess I didn't want to get max nitro bonus with this kart anyway, you incompetent fucking hacks.
splat 2 jap gear came out a year later after all major downloads were given. not that big a deal
- There's a daily rotation of random items and characters in the Pit Stop for in-game currency
- You have to be connected to the internet to receive in-game currency, and you have to shell out more money for matchmaking access to get daily/weekend bonuses.
- Grand Prix exclusive stuff is locked behind Nitro Points and limited-time Pit Stop access, and Beenox has been deliberately vague about where they go after each Grand Prix ends since before release
- Champion Karts are available for those that get in the top 5% of either matchmaking leaderboards or nitro leaderboards
- We got leaks showing that leaderboards will become pay-to-win because wumpa coins will be able to be bought for real money and nitro points will be able to be bought with wumpa coins
If you want to keep up with early players but don't want to shell out actual cash, just play the game normally and use pic related in your free time.
They'll release Probulot by itself, right?
We don't have to spend 10k this GP to get it, right?
>>stopped coin/nitro rewards after a point in battle mode to force people to grind
That happened last GP. People have deduced there's a nitro cap for battle mode for each player.
user....
No now buy the bundle
Probably eventually. Definitely not this gp
Pretty edgy i know

The Probulot package comes every other day and you've still got 20 more days left.
STEAM VERSION WHEN
The bundle will be in the store multiple times before the Prix ends, but the car will definitely not show up on it's own.
Just save up for it. It will take you 3 days max doing your dailies

Late next year, early 2021.
Is there a way to do something like this for the Switch?
It hurts knowing that the best track i do is barin ruins lol
Nope. Switch and Bone users have to deal. PS4 only.
>1 minute time Electron Avenue
I refuse to believe people didn't cheat to get that time
absolutely based
I freed myself from the babies by buying Trance and the wood skin immediately. Full Nitro boost, none of the bullshit.
It comes highly recommended
Z
It's cheating.
Without cheating 1 minute is about the best you can do per lap.
They did. I can Blue flame 96% of the entire track and my best single lap time is 1.07.
Switch players in these threads have said only turbo controllers work for that method. I've tried looking up PS Remote Play equivalents for you guys but every tutorial I've found shows that HDMI/USB connections for computers only connect the Switch to the monitor and not the keyboard.
Of course they cheated
It's impossible to blitz through that track that fast
That hat is so fucking stupid that it ends up becoming cool again, holy shit
I'm... I'm sorry guys... I didn't want to do it but you left me no choice... This is the future you chose when you voted for this track... I tried to vote for another track but you didn't listen...
>cheating online
>playing as a baby character
You disgust me.
Just finish the track so I can get my coins
i would trust this man with my life
>in 4th
>cross finish line
>get put in 5th
one of these days I'm gonna end up gripping my switch too hard out of frustratin and it'll just snap in half
Well at least is all available even when grinding, so at least you can get all, not like splatoon where
you can't get certain gear exclusive to japan because you needed to buy corocoro comics and 7-eleven merch so I feel like I only got to 99% of all gear, and that's why I'm afraid of the microtransactions affecting in this game, It woud feel like I can't complete it
>bought entire store
>still no Lifesaver skin for N. Trance
WTF??
I bought the paint job, N Trance, and the Summer skin for Dingodile but the only missing piece from the Summer Time bundle is N Trance's summer skin.
I even got Princess Coco and the stickers from that bundle.
What gives?
Show no mercy.
couldnt you have just gotten good when the game first came out?
almost half way through gold tier from just doing dailies and wumpa time. comfy af
If you use the glitch online you are a shitter. Period.
What does the store look like if it's empty?
YES!
How did you not have that saved up before the new prix started? Don't get mad because you made a shitty call
I mean, if the lobby votes for a glitched track then I'm not going to lose just because I refuse to use the skip and someone else decides to use it (didn't happen this time but you can never know. The old Thunder Struck skip was used by pretty much everyone). I want the track fixed just as much as you do. Beenox should just remove N. Gin Labs from online rotation until they've patched it.
a challenger approaches
youtube.com
playing with the wooden egg boy right now, can finally play him for nitro!
The new items for the day will drop during resets otherwise it looks like this.
Sooth if you can read this what the fuck are you doing
>That can't be done without steady income
I can't believe someone's actually defending microtransactions in a fully-priced retail game.
Open your mouth, twerp.
>go to start race on the new track online
>waiting an awful long time to load in
>I'm glitched inside of an egg boy who is the host
>game says I left
>someone left a minute later
>race starts and I can't move
>I don;t even have a car
>just stuck there t-posing until quitting out after watching the race finish
What the fuck is going on with this game?!
I just wish coin gridning wasnt the most intense during weekends. Gib more coin putouts cos fuck microtransactions
He's right. How long do you think free dlc can possibly last on original sales of the base game
Are you serious? Don't tell me Beenox forgot to include i in the pit stop, that was the on skin I really wanted, now that N.Trance is my main
I saved up my coins because I had to buy 4 character bundles during the first GP.
I figured the Summer Time bundle would be there still which it didn't.
While most of it is back in the Pit Stop now, the only missing item is the skin for N. Trance.
I wonder if it will randomly appear one day.
Buy the fucking coins, you stupid minnow.
>beenox removed the airplane mode exploit
God, I fucking hate this. I suck at the game, but I just want to unlock shit. How do you unlock shit? You get coins. Wanna get the most coins? You have to git gud online. Well guess what? There's 1000 people and more who are gonna wipe your ass on the floor before you can even think about winning. I fucking hate this. It legit makes me infuriated that I can't just keep getting coins and unlock the shit I want without having to pay money for coins. Oh just use a turbo controller? Cool, I still have to spend money on a fucking turbo controller. What are you, a turbo controller shill? Shut the fuck up. I just want to get some cosmetics so I can customize more. This is what I liked about Mario Kart; I could suck dick online but I didn't feel like my skill set was being actively punished and held back from certain content because of it. Just go back to Mario Kart, then? I've played it to fucking death, I was hoping to have some new fun with Crash Team Racing, but I'm just not having fun anymore. It was fine enough with the exploit; I could grind for coins without feeling any remorse, but now I -have- to play harder, just for some fucking coins. This is where the game stops being fun, and just becomes frustrating. I think my controller is literally warped from how many times I've gripped it in sheer frustration the last week or so. Why does it have to be so fucking convoluted just to get some unlockables in a kart racer? I'm not having fun with this game anymore. Every time I play online I just feel frustration for not being able to get all the coins. It's downright patronizing when all I want is something simple; cosmetics. Last grand prix, I didn't give a shit that I was losing online because there was at least a nice and easy way to get the coins and unlock shit without having to compete.
Still works for me
I got Summer Dingodile before the reset which I was expecting since the Japanese leak last Thursday showed it being available in their Pit Stop. But I have yet to see anyone that has had Summer Coco or Summer Trance in their Pit Stop.
I feel like it's a bit harder to do but it still works for me.
Which platform are you doing it on? Are you doing it as the traffic lights are up but before the green light glows?
>What are you, a turbo controller shill? Shut the fuck up.
>amount of cosmetics is tangentially connected to how good of a player you are
If TF2 has taught me anything, the more bucks you're willing to shill into the game, the more likely that you are going to become invested in it and will incidentally "get good" so those cosmetics don't just become a personal aftertaste.
Sure, anybody with a Gibus, Pyrovision Goggles and Mercenary badge can stomp, but how many people do you see rolling around with the absolute minimum in cosmetics?
Maybe not the case with CTR, but having a half-decent looking cosmetic build on TF2 is like a peacock showing its stuff to get a mate - or in TF2's case, a pocket medic.
Maybe I went off on a tangent, but the TL;DR is that people with cosmetics are likely to be more dedicated players by proxy of investment into the game than you are.
It still works
My problem is it won't connect back to the servers until it forces you back to the main menu
I still get my coins but I'm just trying to finish 2 pro challenges and it won't let me
works on my machine
What skins for existing characters would you wanna see for the Spyro GP?
is this true?
I had Summer Coco and those stickers appear.
Just no Summer skin for N. Trance.
It's odd how everything else was there but the skin.
Switch. I can try it again, but it hasn't worked a couple of times since the update. I think part of the frustration is I'm just starting to realize how absolute broken the online is, since I didn't play as much if there wasn't a bonus of some kind going on. It's probably the worst part of the game for me, and yet it's one of the most critical
Skyway is boring online
>character inconsistently has a nose in N-Tranced/CNK
>go with the noseless design for Nitro-Fueled
>later give him a Pinocchio skin
Clever.
They broke online with the most recent update, items are unbalanced to shit
It's really bad currently, they've absolutely cocked it up. Even I don't feel like going online too much since the update and I really enjoy the game
That's pretty rad.
That sounds like horse shit
Oh I love the game when I'm playing offline. I weirdly enjoy all the little challenges to get Nitro bonus, it reminds me of Mario Kart DS' mission mode. There, you actually get rewarded too and it's entirely on you how good or bad you do to get the nitro. I'm decent enough at the game to 101% the adventure mode on medium, so it's not like I hate the game or anything. It's just the coins are so convoluted and greedy, and the looming option of being able to buy coins with real money is just downright insulting. Prior to this, I legit would've said "I'd put down another 20 dollars for a good DLC expansion pack," but paying money -just- for coins? Fuck that.
No probably not
There seems to be a bug on the Switch Version (don't know about the rest) where you'll get kicked back to the main menu for different reasons.
I've found that entering online, quitting and getting back in solves problems regarding entering friends' lobbies. Doing the airplane exploit might result in letting you in a lobby, but you won't find anyone, after quitting online you won't be able to enter. Only fix is close and reopen the game.
did they rebalance the items? they don't seem as bullshit as this past weekend. there was only one orb and no clocks on my most recent race
I did the same thing too, fuck that shit is so reflexive.
Still feels like more than the last Prix but I thought the same thing
Now that you mention it, it was better in the few games I played.
I hope it's true just because it would blow up in Activisions face
I can just hear this from the image youtu.be
I'm still seeing multiple orbs and clocks in my races
god I love trouncing tropy fags as slower classes
Why is this making me laugh so hard?
power stance
>At the start of the race
>Not there on the mini-map
>Not 1st on the left rankings
>Kart missing
What the fuck
>play Tropy because he's my favorite Crash character
>Everyone thinks I'm a tryhard or trying to flex
I feel you on that
Comes with the territory user
Who cares what people think? Just play whatever character you want.
are you playing as digital tropy? because then you are just trying to flex.
Is Expedition a new decal for the Crikey? I see the +5% Nitro on it in the shop but it's not marked GP Limited.
I think Crikey is one of the old karts that gets nitro bonus for some reason. Same with team trance.
t-thanks
files.catbox.moe
Did any other future skins get datamined?
Stuff that was already in the game got a nitro boost because too many people were using the same shit last GP.
>Who cares what people think? Just play whatever character you want.
>Play as character you like
>People aim their items at you more
Good logic
So I haven't bought CTR yet. Will Spyro be unlocked with the wumpa coins?
No, in all likelihood he'll be the star of the Spyro GP (and thus need to be unlocked via Nitro gain)
Spyro is almost certainly going to be unlocked by finishing the Bronze Tier Nitro bar like Tawna and Baby, which is pretty easy.
No I'm not. I would never
Oh my God that's amazing
Icy(9)Baka if you're here lmao get fucked but also good race, that shit was tight
whats that skin?
>Got only about 2772 coins from the daily grind
humpty dumpty n trance. they seem to really like him for some reason. I'm down for it.
the chad kamikaze
files.catbox.moe
Spyro Subway, of course
At least you got that much
I'm over here getting fucked by glitches and shit that prevent me from even finishing races
Can't get coins if the race never ends
>N. Trance will have 3+ skins while /our guy/ Geary has none
No one likes that gay vacuum cleaner
WHERE are the Krunk skins?
I haven't seen them
>dude just do it for 5 days you'll get 9000 coins to unlock Rick Crash in no time
I hope every CNk boss will have at least two skins. They have a lot of potential. Except maybe Krunk, but he got one anyway.
he got one this GP
This makes me think the September skins are going to be fairytale-themed rather than Spyro-themed.
Because they were retroactively added to a game that's a remake of two old kart racing games and Activision are fuckers for pulling that shit.
I did it in three and that's only cuz it wasn't available for two days, but ok
How do you know Geary is gay?
Do you not remember his original voice?
>Spyro characters
Have other characters been announced besides Spyro? That would be cool
Was in the shop earlier today/yesterday night. You have to wait.
Because he was made to suck
Y-yes Nina
Pics?
Butter.
salty wumpa and milky relics
>getting raped by normal items in the first twenty seconds
great. at least this is truly unlucky, and not just bullshit.
>Electron Avenue
>Warp orb the first 20 seconds
>Every single race
Which characters in the lobby let you know you're not going to win? For me, it's small norm, nash, or fake crash.
That's one of the best tracks to get orb'd on though, there are USF pads everywhere.
Babies
Zem
either I'm not gonna win, or he's gonna chill in 8th and make sure NOBODY wins
Krunk of course
Geary
ever lost to a geary online? anyone?
coco, tropy
This implies I have seen a geary online ever.
Cruz_Family6, if you’re in here, why would you do the N Gin Labs exploit for only 2 out of 3 laps? If you’re gonna cheat, at least go all the way. Instead I had to do an entire 3 laps thinking I was gonna win the old fashioned way, but instead I wasted USFing the whole thing only to come in 2nd at the last minute.
(It shouldn’t have taken you 2:15 to do the exploit, and you should have been able to DNF me. Next time I expect better out of you.)
ami and fake crash with nerd costume
I have like 3 times
Those fucks go fast
The rare times you see a Turn/Balanced CNK character usually means you're in for some serious shit. Honorable mentions to Digital Tropy and N. Trance mains.
I’ve seen 2 different people with “Luigi” in their name on PS4 mop the floor with the rest of the lobby using Green Geary. Only caught the difference because they one had Luigi at the beginning, the other at the end. It was weird.
Small Norm pointed at Geary, mimed a blowjob gesture, than slapped his knees while doing a whistle that sounded like laughing.
Hunter and Gnasty's textures were added in the most recent patch.
the payouts are grim compared to the weekend bonus
N trance main here
Most of my wins this day have been against other n trance players
Because C-3PO is also gay.
Making Isabella a mother.
>wood eggboi players
any good stereotypes for them yet?
Scrawny ass twink
Don’t like babies. Like Nitro.
Smart players that are ahead of the curve and just want to be free from this babypocalypse
they probably didn't even play the GBA games
Probably jerks off to the donkey scene from Pinocchio
She's a tall, beautiful mother.
Someone post crying Coco.
How do I get that extra height on the jump? I can never get enough lift.
I'm getting burned out on this game already. Not even spyro GP like everyone predicted, but getting burnt out NOW. Everyday I just login do the missions, get my daily bonuses online, and logout. I'm not even having fun anymore, it's just a chore. The only time I had fun playing this game was when I first got it and played adventure, and when the gp was over and we got a week of free time.
Agree. There needs to be more downtime where we can just do want we want and play as whoever without worrying about the nitro grind.
>tfw I just found out you can use the N.Gin Lab skip to get the Back in the Race challenge.
You have to do it on the 2nd lap though.
user just play for fun. Get a few kicks online dont care about coins or nitro
12k more nitro to go before I finish gold tier
Thats the challenge. sucking just enough so you dont get platinum but dont end up not getting a relic.
I need it for shit posting, be a pal.
I agree the downtime between GP's are short but you can take off a week and still hit gold tier. Only do online weekends if you really want wumpa. That's all I got really...
Does this crying count?
God bless you
lewd incoming
Find a friend to do online matchmaking races with.
>lots of new paint jobs and stickers
You added two paint jobs, fuckers, not counting the ones that came with the karts. In fairness, quartz and obsidian look really nice for a lot of karts. I'm just happy there aren't a million paint jobs and stickers to collect like in the first one. I don't feel any pressure at all to get everything, I'll be done by week two.
Roo Tubes is great. Fun drift time, whats wrong with you?
>The hat spins the faster you go
HOLY BASED
Wrong argument, flat maps are speedlet havens so let bad players using speed keep up even though they have no right to.
Beautiful
>relic collector
>themed challenges
how do
Where's the proof she's a mother then?
Get sapphire or gold
Platinum doesn't work for some stupid reason
from what I've been told, if a player was turning at the time of the disconnect the AI will be replaced with bots that do nothing but turn in circles.
So if you're going to disconnect to take advantage of some bots, do it at the very beginning.
Give me a minute.
It's boring.
Gimme about a week. Maybe more.
Did they actually clear out the people with over 40k nitro on the leaderboard on ps4?
I thought it was 88 miles though
when the fuck is tawna pink coming back
fuck off back to your gay ass tranny general CTR furfags
Coming back?
When the fuck did it ever come out?
I'm just going by what the game says
>Coming back
It was never in the first GP and now we have to wait to actually get it for the FIRST time. I'm fucking mad.
Why is it pink and blue?
I get she has blue shorts on, but you would never see it in her kart and it throws off the whole color scheme.
Roadster Pink fits better because of the pink and gold due to her blonde hair.
Her Motorsport outfit
So no proof then
That make sense but then why is Liz's paint job green and black when she has green and purple on her motor suit?
which crystal track do I use turbo on? Currently on parking lot.
I was playing Tropy and came in 5th what the FUCK do you want from me?
Liz's is Purple, Black, and Green
Bro just dont use the skip, nobody else here uses the skip online. I certainly wouldnt
Mostly black though.
The black is on the side of the paint job and not a secondary color and does not work at all with her motorsport skin.
This bothered during the last GP because her paint just doesn't match her clearly green and purple color scheme.
Roadster Pink doesn't really fit motor suit Tawna, but I guess Pink and Blue would fit it.
I dunno, Beenox is weird.
One user ITT actually did and everyone else reamed him for it, Baby Coco player too. These CTR threads are so fucking cozy man.
SOMEONE GET THAT BABY OFF THE ROAD! SHE'S GONNA GET HIT
>wumpa time
>it's all piss-easy low tier tracks
>if it isn't the speedlet shitter host will leave because his pea brain can't handle anything more than 5mph
Beenox please fix your byllshit lobbies
Stay right there, I just need a little speed
I got a sliver before hitting Gold. Haven't done today's dailies yet, and I tried doing the reverse the final lap thing but it didn't work when I did it. Not sure if it was because I was hit or because I used the reverse camera the whole way through.
I didn't get last Gp reverse lap or this one. I know (now) if you get hit it doesn't count. Probably wouldn't hurt to not use rear view either but I can't say for certain.
What's the name of that pink car? Is not the nostalginator, right?
It is
Three more rewards, will most likely get the Legendary decal with tomorrow's challenges.
I already completed all the monthly, themed, and weekly challenges.
Daily Challenges are so weak that I'm waiting for the weekly challenges to reset.
All daily and quick challenges barely push your bar in Gold tier.
I still don't get how some people had 48k Nitro in one day when I did every challenge and have a while to go yet.
>Grand Prix Dominator
>Win an online race on Prehistoric Playground with (((a turning character)))
Fuck this garbage. Do I just have to hope I get a lobby without any balanced/accel/speed players who know how to play?
shouldn't take too long
Just ask someone to join a private lobby
they should nerf speed by making the other stats actually matter.
airplane mode it
Goddamnit, why? It looks kinda ugly now.
Not on switch
based
First two of Silver Tier, just going for Mammoth kart.
I hope beenox will give out something else if you already have the champion kart if you end up in the 5% again
>incentivize further grind
nah. the decal is enough
Mad Scientist Crash's portrait is fucking huge
That's what the decals are for
They fucked up this time but I doubt it will happen again
It really bothers me whenever I see it.
Goddamn, where is everyone getting their nitro girl porn?
Ffs I'm already 0.45% and I'm absolutely sick of playing. Don't even have fake Dino yet.
Lads, I just want gladiator Tiny already, when is he gonna be on the pit stop?
>Got Crikey Kart day 1
Feels good not using the Nastolginator and going on safari with Egg Bros.
just cheat with a second controller dude
I did and I couldn't be happier, I just need to find a good kart to fit with the theme
>last lap of PP
>somehow accomplish the nearly impossible feat of messing up the jump to the shortcut
>finish in 2nd
I'm not even going to bother once I hit 42k, probably just play on weekends to build up wumpa coins for next grand prix.
>complete all themed and GP challenges
>never miss daily or week challenges
>still on 8000-10000 places
What the fuck?
>cheat with a second controller
How?
FUCK CLOCKS
FUCK JUICED-UP ORBS
FUCK MISSILES THAT FOLLOW ME AROUND EVERY FUCKING CORNER
FUCK JANNIES
FUCK FURFAGS
I JUST WANNA HAVE FUN FFFUUUCCCKKK
I fucking wish
What tracks do we want for the Spyro, villains, and CTTR prixes?
>going so fast on Cortex Castle I hit the fucking ceiling and lose my USF
>twice
Same, grinded for 3 hours and completed 8/10 pro challenges only to be in 14000-18000
>Krunk's "legendary" skin is just a recolor skin relabeled as a legendary skin
Did you do it with 40% or 50% bonus nitro? I am at 13k and have been using the nitro bonus most the time.
Did you have Nitro boosting shit on while you did all that?
Hey its Crunch.
>everyone picks Prehistoric Park
>loading screen takes longer than usual
>empty karts everywhere
>takes like 5 minutes for the game to tell me there aren't enough racers
For the love of god Beenox, fix your shit. That cost like 5 minutes of my wumpa time. It's like every single patch the online gets worse both in terms of internet quality and item distribution.
Use the nitro bonus, you dummies. I'm still missing 3 themed and 1 pro challenge and I got over 27k nitro.
How much Nitro do you have total? If you aren't at least in gold tier you fucked up
Ofcourse I did it with 50% bonus. Just look at those first places, this season is full of idle grinders niggers
wumpa time is only depleted after the starting countdown has completed. it only wasted your real-world time
Already took first gold reward
you definitely have been missing out on nitro bonus
>picture of a liar
Oh thank god.
This is true but I posted this and it was before the dailies reset. Yes i've been posting here and playing all day don't judge me.
>grind nigger
When does this game get good? I've been playing for 200 hours now and I'm not sure if I'm having fun at all.
>Good
it comes from getting better at the game and beating your time/ other players. That and customization. GP's wear people down though so take a break if you feel like it's getting too much.
