OK, I think I have everything planned, I can start running now. I even managed to develop a strategy to pass Darius, but it's like 50:50 chance.
EDIT: Also, tuning is really weird in Carbon, at least for some cars.
JessicaSix's run is being uploaded atm.
You might wait for JessicaSix's run. I'm uploading it right now, so it should be up tomorrow.
Sub 2 hours is not possible unless you can somehow glitch races or skip cutscenes. I expect sub 2:15
Or if you can wait couple weeks, I'll show you better strats. There is much that can be improved in Grim's run.
What I mean is to be able to sort the levels on level leaderboard by their names or how many runs they contain. If you have a really long list of levels on level leaderboard (eg: fan made levels), it's really painful to move each level to their desired position on the leaderboard since you can only move it by ONE position up or down. Currently there is no sorting. Or maybe give each level an ID number that mods could change. The best would be of course drag&drop, but I have no idea if that's real in your system.
Follow button wouldn't do anything differently than following specific games. It's just a comfort thing.
I've noticed that until about a week ago, whenever I opened any level on level leaderboard and clicked on submit run, the "Level" was automatically chosen for me, but now it always chooses the first one on the leaderboard and if you don't change it manually you may end up submitting a run for a completely different level.
EDIT: Also, would it be possible to add sorting by name and number of runs of level leaderboard? Just an option for mods.
EDIT: Another thing I thought of - add Follow button to game series.
We can just make it a variable like in most games.
I've tried it now again and not only I couldn't start the game afterwards for like 2 minutes, it didn't save my progress from yesterday, so it looks like the game saves when you go to main menu and I was totally wrong :) Well, shit happens.
No, you can't do it before you start the timer unless you aim for NG+ category.
IL means individual level, which in MW means you do a run of just one circuit, knockout, speedtrap etc. in quick race, free race or however the mode is called in MW.
By the way, you can get rid of the police if you kill the game :) The whole police charade takes roughly 25 seconds including loading screens and menus while restarting the game and loading your profile takes about 19. The game autosaves after each race, so there shouldn't be a problem with continuity. The question is if we should use it. I remember the same trick was used in old PoP: Warrior Within runs and noone had any problem with that.
IL? Didn't you rather mean segmented run?
JessicaSix, the glitch needs to be investigated further before we can judge whether it's good to use or not.
JessicaSix just made sub 10 hours run couple days ago and once he sorts the videos and upload them, it should be up here soon.
As for the career glitch (sorry I didn't respond, I forgot to follow MW), it's almost the same situation as in Carbon and 240SX, so it should be NG+ I'm discussing the Carbon thing with SDA, which has far more experience with these things, but they also believe it should be NG+
How exactly does that glitch works? Do you need to have two profiles with the same career progress or you just need to start a new profile, go to free race (assuming free race is not part of the career - correct me if I am wrong) and pick the race you want? That shouldn't be considered NG+ since you can do it during your run. Same like Grim spent 15 minutes unlocking 240SX in his Carbon run.
Grim, do you know if bosses cars are any different to stock variants besides installed nitrous?
EDIT: Nevermind, they only have racing nitrous. Btw, I've tried to start with muscle category and it's only about 20 seconds slower up to Tier 3. The main problem is that there is no good Tier 2 car in muscle or exotic category and Angie's Charger R/T has a bad handling and even fully upgraded Camaro SS is about 12 seconds slower in Fortuna compared to Kenji's RX-7. Exotic is totally out since Fortuna is by far the longest of all the 3 starting territories.
